Yes the male did do this shortly after this shot.

What do you use? What is your setup like?

I see we have moved the goal post to a “technical recession” now.

Ah so the health care system is so bad we have to fight for it now. At this point it is only a matter of time until they make us pay for it. Then it’ll be further enshittified. Things are great 😐

Time to use Firefox mobile with ublock origin

It also tears significantly in my experience, which is pretty unusable…

Docker is just the new apt

What lens and camera did you use for this?

Unfortunately not… They tend to not venture too close and not as common as the goose

It is indeed a Canadian Canada goose.

I use gnome, and it has a lot of pain points:

• fractional scaling with multiple monitor sucks. Now it sucked with X too but this is not that big of an improvement.
• fractional scaling single monitor sucks with the upscaling system for xwayland. X is also bad with tearing, but with a single monitor you can just font scale.
• gnome fractional scaling sucks as it can cause artifacts like lines and dots to appear at edge of screens. Presumably some sort of division rounding problem but idk. Probably gnomes fault but doesn’t happen on X. Also not Nvidia issue as I run Intel GPUs.
• Wayland gnome has a number of performance and usability problems. Waking laptop from sleep: the mouse cursor will stutter (wtf!) for around 5-10 seconds before behaving normally. Not an issue with X. There are general performance problems with gnome tho so more than likely it is gnome’s fault as usual.
• sometimes when you unplug from monitors, the screen will stay blank for 30-60s, frozen, until it figures out. Probably also a gnome problem but it is not like this on X.
• dragging from the archive manager to decompress file into nautilus doesn’t work under Wayland. May have been fixed, but not in Ubuntu 22.04
• screen share support is broken
• global shortcut is simply not supported because of “security reasons”.

Also the other pain point is how no one cares and how people are like… well it works for me, or they don’t care about stutters, or they say their distro and desktop environment is better, and blaming the user.

Same. I only effectively use one monitor but occasionally I want to plug my laptop to another monitor. It is frankly ridiculous that we have all these monitors with HDR, hidpi, VRR and high refresh rates. We also have technologies to daisy chain them. And Linux, Wayland or not, basically doesn’t support any configuration other than 1080p 60hz sdr everywhere or a single monitor.

At this rate we will be lucky if we can get one of these things well supported in the next ten years. Sometimes, I wonder if technology development rate will accelerate fast enough such that it will reach escape velocity with respect to Linux display development speed. It already feels like we have regressed, and I wonder if it will get worse.

I wish Wayland is not so trash because it is the only place where you can get fractional scaling with multiple monitors kind of working. The gnome implementation is especially trash too, but I use it anyway…

“I hate configuring Linux distros which is why I use arch btw”

How is the battery life?
