When you combine continuing layoffs by profitable companies over the last few years, AI displacing workers, and this beautiful spending bill that cuts services to millions while codifying tax breaks for the 1% and increasing the deficit by 4 trillion, the future looks bright indeed.

They sell access to an online service that lets you mock up and prototype user interfaces, such as a phone or tablet. I assume they can also prototype desktop-type UI layouts. I think they were one of the earliest on-line, web-delivered tools of this type. Now there are quite a few others. And there are even some open source ones.

I wouldn't call gasoline tax a sin tax.

As far as actual sin taxes go, the people most addicted to cigarettes are also the poorest, with the least amount of support to quit smoking, and they will bear the brunt of this tax. It's easy to say "just quit" but much harder to do in practice. So increasing the sin tax is devastating to these people who are already coming at life with a disadvantage.

Whereas taxing electric vehicles is an arguably progressive tax. Just not sure how to best implement such a tax. Could be as part of registration. Or it could be a tax on the electricity used, but that would require special meters for home chargers.

And yet the post you're responding to was specifically talking about "ssh -X," claiming it does not work when it definitely *does* work, and that alone fulfills 90% of people's remoting needs, at least the traditional kind of remoting.

I admit it's kind of neat to fire up X2Go and grab a full desktop on another machine, but ssh -X is far more useful to me, and I suspect to most users. In fact when people complain about the lack of remoting in wayland they often point to ssh forwarding. And for native wayland apps that is lacking still. But any GTK or Qt app currently will run under either remote X11 forwarding, or local native wayland.

Yes it does. I'm running stock KDE on wayland right now on Fedora 40 (so it's even old now) and XWayland is running by default and DISPLAY is set. I am running a mix of wayland and X11 apps, and I ssh -X every day to remote machines. Gnome is the same way.

Why do you say it doesn't work when it clearly does?

And where they go, we follow. Just look at the crazy stuff happening in Alberta now.

On any major wayland desktop on a modern distro, ssh -X works as it always has, because of XWayland. So you can remote apps like you always have.

As for a full remote desktop, both gnome and KDE offer RDP support (which is quite a bit more efficient and faster than remote X11 or forwarded X11). But I don't believe either offer headless RDP sessions like you can do with Xvnc or Xrdp, or X2Go. That is a glaring omission.

Fortunately KDE will run on X11 for years yet.

The leak is so small that I don't think you'd be able to find anything with this method. The leak rate is only about 4# /day. To top it off, the entire station leaks and always has, but at a much lower rate (0.6#/day apparently). Also with an ac system you know where to look. And you can easily do so. Going outside the station is a major undertaking and I don't think you'll be able to even find the uv marker as it sublimates.

Yes. Window shade, whatever you want to call it. KWin is responsible for it, and it can do it for X11 windows, but not Wayland windows. It kind of tries. Not sure if this is a wayland bug or a kwin bug, or both. Also focus-follows-mouse is a bit weird. Sometimes I have to leave the window and re-enter it to get it to focus (or click), and on wayland kwin will not focus the window if I just hover over the titlebar. I have to enter the body of the window itself. I assume this is a kwin bug, since kwin is responsible for drawing the window decorations.

Is setting the record straight "re-education?" ssh -CY works great on my KDE wayland desktop. Gnome is the same I understand. $DISPLAY is set an everything. Works the same as it always has as far as the user is concerned. Apps that have wayland backends use wayland directly. Those that don't use rootless windows with XWayland. Shrug. It works.

That's what XWayland is for, and it works well. It's automatic and transparent on modern distros and Gnome or KDE, and probably others. Did you actually try it before you complain about Wayland? In fact even local X11 apps are supported transparently as well. I have a mix of X11 and wayland native apps running right now. Except for a few minor differences in how the windows are managed (roll-up is not available on native wayland windows, sadly), I cannot tell which is which.

The only remoting I've ever needed to do was X11 forwarding over SSH which works transparently if you have XWayland running, which is automatic on most distributions these days. So it really doesn't matter to me if wayland has remoting of wayland native apps, provided the apps I'm trying to remote still support an X11 backend, which they all do. That will change in the near future, though, as GTK plans to drop their X11 backend entirely soon. So you'll be out of luck if you need to remote a GTK app.

Times are obviously different now, but historically, conservatives have increased the debt more than liberals in Canada. In fact the last time the budge was actually balanced was under Cretien and later Martin, if I'm not mistaken. Harper inherited a brief surplus, but the crash of 2008 erased that pretty quickly and it hasn't been seen since.

Cars essentially idle most of the time in stop and go city traffice. So EGR is a clear win. It's not just for EPA tests. It has real-world implications. And on big diesel engines, EGR is typically on full time.

Modern catalytic converters *do* mitigate NOx. They are sometimes called "three-way catalytic converters" because they mitigate CO, NOx, and unburned hydrocarbons. And of course on diesel engines, catalytic converters use SCR injection.

Air quality is about NOx and particulates. That's the definition of "pollutants" in this case. CO2 is a separate issue that is often conflated with emissions control.
