Because they want to sell more?

What happened to everywhere on the planet apart from Germany to make bread so dire?

I could eat different German breads every day for a week, and not be bored.

Sounds like they had their scaler set up to squash everything. Not the best for content, but the best for accepting whatever people will throw at it. Can’t say I’m a fan of not giving you all the pixels you paid for, though!

I miss AV sometimes.

Nice. It looks like your led has a little hat!

Did you manage to get Linux to output the native resolution of the screen?

Study suggests children remotely move matter to extinguish birthday cake candles, to prevent wildfires.

Is Docker considered virtualisation?

Thanks. As bare metal is quite a bit more expensive, what would I lose by going to a VPS? I’m assuming Proxmox and Windows, assuming I wanted to go with a Linux VPS. Would there be issues with running Docker containers with the VPS?

Better take a year off, mate.

Is there a sub that is less focused on interesting data, and more focused on data presented beautifully?

• USB PD can negotiate pushing up to 240W now at 48V, which is a fair bit.

So if I wanted to wire my home to take advantage of this, supposing I had a house battery on solar, would I have some kind of DC-DC converter from battery to 48V, then cable to outlets with some kind of USB PD adaptor? How much advantage do I get from this, vs using existing 240V outlets + wall wart?

My exposure to Linux is pretty minimal, especially Linux with a GUI, so forgive my ignorance. Even reading over this thread I’m confused as to the issue here.

I don’t need an ELI5, but maybe someone can explain it like I don’t know what Wayland is?

My understanding is that an app should ask the system to display an object at X size, let’s say text at size 14. The system then works out that at the currently selected display resolution, size 14 will be Y pixels big. If needed, the system can scale that based on user preferences- a small, high DPI screen could render size 14 at only a couple of millimetres, for example.

Is the problem that devs are building things in a way that bypasses scaling? For example, hardcoding size 14 text to be Z pixels high?

Hardware should lead. It’s easier to upgrade the software to make the hardware work, then it is to upgrade the hardware when the software decides to support it.

I stopped using my MacBook Air after 9 years. I did a battery swap at some point, and I think I replaced the charger after the cable frayed. Best windows machine I ever ran.

I’ve witnessed a lot of talk about this song- I love me a good cover- and this is the first time I’ve read this quote. Thanks for that, it gives some great context.

I feel like the level of snark in your reply is… High. It doesn’t make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesn’t help make lemmy a nice place to be.

So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what’s the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?

Is it possible to put images in an email without them showing up like this?

Got a link? I find it hard to believe that a process like that would stop because of a few windows machines not booting.

At that size, for that speed, I wonder why wifi was discarded. Depends on the components connecting, I guess, but if each component is custom I imagine adding a small wifi chip to each could be smaller overall?

The dude raises some valid points.

One way to avoid looking like a fool is to look beyond just the headline- This video starts out by saying they have more Linux installs than windows, across various VMs on SBCs.
