| 2021-02-04 15:08:35 | <Liskni_si> | the super awesome thing about xmonad is that one can hack on it while using it |
| 2021-02-04 15:08:50 | <Liskni_si> | kind of like what all the smalltalk people have |
| 2021-02-04 15:09:25 | <Liskni_si> | but a wayland compositor can't be restarted without losing the entire session, I think |
| 2021-02-04 15:09:39 | <Liskni_si> | and that makes it waaayyy less fun to work on |
| 2021-02-04 15:10:05 | <mc47> | that's a bummer |
| 2021-02-04 15:10:31 | <Liskni_si> | I mean if we could figure out a way to run the compositor separate from the wm |
| 2021-02-04 15:10:39 | <Liskni_si> | then it could be real fun |
| 2021-02-04 15:11:17 | <Liskni_si> | someone mentioned in one of the HN discussions that maybe kwin is designed that way |
| 2021-02-04 15:13:03 | <Liskni_si> | anyway I think that's a good place to start: figure out a good design where things can be iterated quickly, either using some existing compositor, or hacking some rpc into an existing compositor, or building a minimal compositor with windowmanager rpc or something |
| 2021-02-04 15:13:26 | <Liskni_si> | it's extra work though, X had this almost forever :-/ |
| 2021-02-04 15:17:01 | <mc47> | this might be a stupid question, but what's wrong with X in the first place? |
| 2021-02-04 15:19:16 | <Liskni_si> | there was a talk about it a long time ago |
| 2021-02-04 15:19:20 | <Liskni_si> | maybe this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIctzAQOe44 |
| 2021-02-04 15:19:58 | <Liskni_si> | I don't remember all the point unfortunately |
| 2021-02-04 15:20:49 | <mc47> | awesome, I'll check it out |
| 2021-02-04 15:20:50 | <mc47> | thanks! |
| 2021-02-04 15:21:26 | <Liskni_si> | people these days talk mainly about security; that we'd love to be able to run somewhat untrusted apps like in android, where if you don't give the app some permission, it can only use actual security exploits to do stuff |
| 2021-02-04 15:21:49 | <Liskni_si> | with X11, there is absolutely no hope of ever achieving any kind of isolation |
| 2021-02-04 15:22:42 | <Liskni_si> | obviously many people say that running untrusted code on your computer is a bad idea in general, but the world at large doesn't seem very willing to accept this argument |
| 2021-02-04 15:23:28 | <Liskni_si> | and then there are some technical reasons around multiple gpus and different pixel densities and so on which Daniel explains and I don't remember any more |
| 2021-02-04 15:31:55 | <Liskni_si> | (I really don't know where I am on this. I'd obviously love most software to be free (libre), and I'm willing to go a long way to avoid proprietary crap and even decline jobs where proprietary stuff is needed for day to day operation, yet on the other I'd really like to be able to just play games through Steam without having to worry about what those games might be doing behind the scenes. I have |
| 2021-02-04 15:31:56 | <Liskni_si> | this pet theory that we all have an obsession budget, and once that budget is spent, we can't afford to give a fuck about other things any more.) |
| 2021-02-04 15:39:27 | <mc47> | As much as I love FLOSS, I'm still not willing to switch over to gaming on Linux |
| 2021-02-04 15:39:33 | <mc47> | I guess your theory makes sense |
| 2021-02-04 15:42:26 | <Liskni_si> | I'd probably just play on Windows or XBOX too, with no bad feelings, if other life choices (not having TV and not having a single place/town/country to live) didn't make it difficult :-) |
| 2021-02-04 15:43:09 | <Liskni_si> | (and I love big uptimes on my laptop :-)) |
| 2021-02-04 15:44:17 | <Solid> | hah |
| 2021-02-04 15:44:44 | <Solid> | that theory does make sense; I'd probably still dual boot if I played games much anymore |
| 2021-02-04 15:45:04 | <Solid> | but since I don't I'm rocking nouveau drivers atm even =) |
| 2021-02-04 15:46:21 | <mc47> | I endured dual booting from an external ssd that I attached to my laptop with some velcro, just to be able to play games |
| 2021-02-04 15:46:27 | <Solid> | lol |
| 2021-02-04 15:46:31 | <Solid> | that sounds amazing |
| 2021-02-04 15:46:44 | <mc47> | (I had one around, a tight budget, and not enough space to dual boot on the internal ssd) |
| 2021-02-04 15:47:09 | <mc47> | it was :D I loved the weird looks people gave me when they saw my laptop |
| 2021-02-04 15:48:43 | <Solid> | oh btw |
| 2021-02-04 15:49:09 | Solid | will be MIA for the next one or two months |
| 2021-02-04 15:49:28 | <Solid> | I'll probably still answer e-mails, but can't really review (or write) any code |
| 2021-02-04 15:51:31 | <Liskni_si> | good to know |
| 2021-02-04 16:00:34 | <Liskni_si> | Solid: are you going to be travelling round the world or would you prefer to keep this private? |
| 2021-02-04 16:00:43 | <Liskni_si> | (just curious) |
| 2021-02-04 16:02:46 | → | growpotkin joins (~growpotki@130-45-30-154.dyn.grandenetworks.net) |
| 2021-02-04 16:03:22 | <Solid> | ah, nothing so exciting, no :) |
| 2021-02-04 16:03:43 | <Solid> | it's just the usual exam period in my place of the world |
| 2021-02-04 16:04:18 | <Solid> | and that usually degenerates to me spending 10 hours a day inside the mathematics building because I have no life |
| 2021-02-04 16:04:35 | <Liskni_si> | oh I see :-) |
| 2021-02-04 16:04:37 | <Solid> | and after that I just don't have the energy to do computer things |
| 2021-02-04 16:05:11 | <Solid> | so I'd rather just play some guitar or run :) |
| 2021-02-04 16:05:38 | <mc47> | Solid figured as much, since you recognized the Club Mate logo in my doom emacs :D ... the party is also soon starting with me |
| 2021-02-04 16:06:48 | <Solid> | it'll probably be the last "proper" exam period for me |
| 2021-02-04 16:06:52 | <Solid> | feels weird :o |
| 2021-02-04 16:07:08 | <Solid> | also yes how could I not recognize that logo :> |
| 2021-02-04 16:07:36 | <Liskni_si> | it just seemed weird to be able to answer e-mails but not view any code; if I had to spend 10 hours a day on something, I'd probably just redirect all github e-mail to a separate folder to not feel the FOMO :-) |
| 2021-02-04 16:08:21 | <Solid> | but then I'd know that mails were being redirected; this would probably lead to much worse FOMO for me :D |
| 2021-02-04 16:08:26 | <Solid> | (my brain is weird) |
| 2021-02-04 16:09:24 | <Solid> | so the best I can do is to spend a few minutes a day going through mails and possibly telling emacs to remind me to reply to some important ones at the end of the day |
| 2021-02-04 16:09:46 | <Solid> | this has worked surprisingly well for me in the last couple of years |
| 2021-02-04 16:11:46 | <Liskni_si> | fair enough :-) |
