What non-linux system does not support libinput? It's supported on BSD, and linux. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a functional Windows port as well.

There's middle ground to be had here-
X.org is likely to have support for more input drivers than any particular Wayland compositor- I agree with that statement.
However, Wayland compositors have absolutely standardized on libinput as their input driver, and it does have very extensive support- to the point of being the only input driver used on most linux systems today.

Of course they aren't. Neither are yours, and yet you did the same.
However, I can at least say I'm coming at it from the direction of a software engineer with a bachelor of science degree in computer science, and your opinion is simply one I do not see among my peers anymore. Not since the early 2000s, really.

Sure. So is using réaumur for temperature.

It's used anywhere you need a logarithmic ratio.
However, in optics, stops are used.

Stops is indeed more proper than db. If you had said, "no more or less valid", then I'd have agreed with you.
But since we're talking about propriety, you are flat out wrong.
Stops is the proper unit. Any ratio will work, but you will not be speaking the same language with a domain expert.

Yes. Is 13 not higher than 6?
X11 can only ever have the 6 of a standard display, period, with its current architecture.
It lacks support for a non-gamma transfer function.
This isn't an intractable problem by any means- but it is one that has simply had no motion, and like it or not, HDR is in demand for linux desktops.

Entirely possible. But I will point out your random shift key antics.
This interaction was far more reasonable.

Much xenophobe

So Trump

Wow

Eh.
On one hand, you're probably right.
On the other, it doesn't show up in polling- and polling generally includes the option "maintain the status quo with an eventual goal of independence". This is generally the least supported of the popular options.
I do not think there is good evidence that independence is supported by a majority of young people.

I know. I pointed that out elsewhere.
They also don't understand that the PRC is ROC's largest trading partner, and primary source of tourism. The economic and personal connection between the 2 nations is extremely tight.
While being invaded is definitely something they want to avoid- even if the risk of invasion were nil, there is still not a consensus on even hurting relations with PRC.

ARM, the acronym has not existed for a very long time now.
Arm has been the correct usage in the official architectural documentation, and has been for a long time.
If you need to see it with your own eyes.
Strike 1.

Oh, I agree it's not a fair comparison. I felt that they're the one that made it, not me.
But the claim was "Arm desktop". Are there non-Apple Silicon arm desktops out there that aren't a raspberry pi, or equivalent performance?

Oh boy.

Did you seriously just compare the bottom line Apple Silicon part with the top-end Intel part?
Like, seriously?
Fucking absurd.
Since we don't have an M5 Max or M5 Ultra yet, we'll have to use the M4 Max, and the M3 Ultra.

M4 Max: (43995 multi / 4582 single)
M3 Ultra: (74152 multi / 5119 single)

If we want to amuse ourselves, we can point out that the 20% lower multi-core performance of the previous-generation architecture top end vs. current top end intel architecture comes at a 62% reduction in power during full load.
Expect to see the M5 Max lay fucking waste again, as the M4 Max did.

That's true of any thing. That's like saying, "you can compare a shovel to a machine gun, because which one is best depends on the workload".
Very insightful of you.

See above. What the hell are you talking about?
The 2-generation old Ultra chip handily lays low today's top end Intel desktop, at a quarter of its power usage.

Better summary:

When I moved to Macs, there was nothing in the PC space that compared. Nothing. Not even close. The decision to move was obvious. Market share growth values reflected I wasn't alone here, as Mac laptops exploded in sales while everyone else lost them.

Now, there is comparable hardware. I shop for PC laptops now, because frankly, I'd love to get back to linux on my laptop. I'm very much not a macOS fan.

That's just it- the side effects to the market as a whole were a benefit. PC battery lifetimes have flown through the roof.
AMD provides some very good CPUs in the high-performance, low-power space . They're not Apple Silicon level, but they're not like the delta was when the Apple Silicon bomb dropped.
Note, I didn't say "Apple Silicon" was revolutionary. Just it in laptops. It crushed the mold for Apple laptops, and that always cross-pollinates with PCs.

I brought all of my gear in a work backpack long before I moved to macs, so it wasn't an additional complication for me.
I already had multiple serial dongles, ethernet dongles (in my line of work, one ethernet interface is for kids), and docks.
I do agree that for someone who was not similarly outfitted, who a machine had ever existed for that could work for them without dongles, not having dongles would be valuable as hell.

That is simply untrue.
Their actions are completely open to review.

It is true that they are protected in the case that they are "doing their job in good faith".
If they are not, they are wide open to State prosecution.
This has always been the case for police brutality- the difference between now and then, is that courts grant that protection (accept the good faith argument) less and less.

It is simply a fact that court tolerance of police shooting civilians is the lowest it has ever been.
Brutality at the hands of Federal authorities is a new problem to tackle, but rest assured, it will be.

No, I'm not. From what I saw in the last election, there's at least 15 million of me ;)
I'm not the one who's tense. Those losing their shit over politics, doomers, protofascists worrying about the country being invaded by... fucking Central and South Americans- these people are tense.
The group now inventing fantasies of stolen elections to explain my group, and the group that did it the election before that- they're the tense ones.

I have no intention of fixing it all. I have every intention of pointing out you morons for what you are.

Not remotely.
It has shown us that 2 parties, with no real ability to strategically stop the other's war effort will devolve into a modern version of trench warfare.

Wrong again.
War isn't accounting, and your capacity to build more drones is not limited by money.

You're a fucking moron.
The Houthis caused no damage, and lost a whole fucking bunch of people in retaliatory strikes. That's what's called a infinity to fucking 1 kill ratio.
If you are saying, "kept losing people and drones until we had to go resupply, since the mission didn't have logistics built in" equates to losing, then all I can say is, "lol."

Calling it warfare is being too generous.
The only thing separating the Houthis from being fucking glassed is political will in the States.
In the meantime, they continue to tune our ABM, CWIS, and SAMs for us at a dollar amount relatively speaking, approaching zero.

Except... they couldn't, now could they? They tried.
I love how you think in a ground war with the US, the opposing side would have drones after day 1.
What, pray tell, was the Houthi aim? To have a bunch of people needlessly killed attacking a bear with mosquitos?

Your delusions are amusing.

No argument, and not remotely incompatible with what I said ;)

Ya, I heard they also gave some guy on one of the escort ships a heart attack.

Christ, you fucking morons.

Thinking that a quantity matters without a reference- i.e., context
Seriously, did your father skullfuck you as a child? What the fuck made you so goddamn stupid?

Another day, another google debunk failure on your part.
Not one single one of those links demonstrated that it was a serious problem.
You'd know that if you had actually read them instead of googling and copying links like a fucking dipshit.
Each one of them provides a handy number of households for impact gauging- and oh my god, I'm here to tell you that I think Arizona will survive the loss of the annual water supply of 45,000 single-family homes. Especially since it has about 1.3 fucking million of them.

We sure do. Like your gasoline. And letting them rot. Both of which subsidized by your government. Both using many hundred times the water in question here.

You never get tired of being a failure, do you?

No, it wouldn't.
Is that how you think analogies work?

Well that depends, doesn't it?
If you put a V8 in a car, not so revolutionary. Put an RB-25 on the back of it? Pretty fucking revolutionary.
So, putting a motor in that dramatically changes the characteristics of this thing vs. what existed before- can be revolutionary, can't it?

lol. Are you trolling?
Arm (it's not capitalized) chips with power comparable (not to mention better) than any PC mobile-class chip were absolutely new when they made the switch.
Hell, they're still the only game in town, there.

Oh, totally. Your shitty Raspberry Pi is completely comparable to a device that performs 14x better than it.
Come the fuck on.

One wonders if you know what a quantum CPU is. Given how ignorant your comment was, I'm going to go with no. I won't explain to you why there'd be nothing revolutionary about putting a quantum CPU into a computer, any more so than putting a water faucet in place of the motor in your car.

Apple Silicon CPUs in a laptop put the power of a workstation-class laptop in the power envelope of a netbook.
To this day, you cannot find a comparison of a PC and a MacBook that doesn't sacrifice every shred of intellectual honesty the person has,.
You can have better performance, if you don't mind 2 hours of battery life, and you can have half as much battery life as the MacBook, if you don't mind the performance of a Nintendo Switch.

There's upping things a notch, and then there is smashing through the glass ceiling, and that is revolutionary.

That one's a little tickly.
You're undeniably right that the pardon power definitely makes it so that consequences of ignoring an injunction are nil, I personally wouldn't test it to too much extent. It's basically a constitutional crisis. If the Supreme Court considers an injunction legal, then it is, by definition, legal. If the President ignores this, he is, by definition, a criminal, and has violated his oath of office. Not saying it can't technically happen- but realistically- it doesn't happen.

There's also the problem with non-Federal courts, which the Executive has no pardon power over.
