Not just license. You also need to link to it as a shared library and allow users to replace it with their own build of the library. Meaning you can’t use stuff like DRM and anticheats.

deadcream@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•A surge of Russian demand has made China the world's biggest car exporter1·2 years agoLada doesn’t really exist anymore. Before 2022 it was just assembling cheap Renault cars with Lada branding (and actually owned by Renault). Now it’s nationalised and assembles some obscure Chinese cars (or plans to. Not sure if they managed to set it up yet).
Sure, it’s hard to craft a perfect solution. However the status quo for a long time was that applications were doing it themselves. And Wayland took it away without providing a replacement.
I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strength was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?
It’s literally the opposite. Windows aren’t allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it’s unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn’t have that.

deadcream@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you follow any youtubers that talk about film, tv, animation or vfx?21·2 years agoDial the Gate. Series of interviews with people involved in making of Stargate TV show (not just actors bit people at every level). It’s over 200 episodes now.
Well GTK does not have theming anymore, though it still needs some way to configure fonts and icon theme.

Nah, this is patented by Sony.
deadcream@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Looking for FOSS android TV (or something like Kodi, but dumber)6·2 years agoGoogle-certified Android TV devices aren’t known to receive security updates either.
Does it really matter? It’s the usual corporate intrigues/power struggle/backstabbing/whatever. Just for some reason leaked into public view instead of being behind the scenes like it’s normally done, probably because someone is stupid.
deadcream@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there any point in having the dislike button at all in YouTube when nobody but the creator can see the dislike count?81·2 years agoAlgorithm favors videos that are highly upvoted or downvoted. Anything that gets emotion/reaction out of you - doesn’t matter whether positive or negative - is brought to the top.
deadcream@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Canada bans WeChat, Kaspersky applications on government devices142·2 years agoKaspersky is closely tied to Russian government. The dude himself (founder and CEO) has a government position as one of Putin’s advisors or something. Also he believes that anonymity should be purged from the internet, and every user should be personally indentified, enforced by the government. In the name of “security”, of course.
Low effort tickets are ignored because they are bullshit.
High effort tickets are ignored because devs are lazy and can’t be bothered to deal with complex and boring issues.
Well, at least that’s how I roll as an open source developer lol.
deadcream@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session31·2 years agoIt’s still not enough time for KDE devs to fix all major issues with Wayland. It requires at least another two years in the oven.
deadcream@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session811·2 years agoI wonder if they consulted Plasma devs about it. Sure they said that they aim to make Wayland ready for Plasma 6, but it didn’t sound like it was an actual plan for 6.0. After all they got their hands full with Qt 6 porting, and there are still major roadblocks with completing Wayland support, while 6.0 is about to have its alpha release already.
Knowing Fedora devs however, I suspect they didn’t. They switched to Plasma Wayland by default several Fedora releases ago, when it was in no way ready. I guess I will switch to a different distro when this time comes.
deadcream@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Alan Wake 2's PC requirements may leave AMD RX 5000-series and Nvidia GTX 10-series users high and dry374·2 years agoI don’t mind them raising minimum requirements if they actually use features of newer hardware (cough unlike Windows 11 cough), but requiring upscaling is never a good sign. It’s just a cost-cutting strategy that allows them to spend even less money on optimization work while reallocating that money to marketing budget or exec bonuses or whatever, at the cost of visual fidelity. It doesn’t benefit customers in any way, quite the opposite.
deadcream@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Pixel 8's Tensor G3 GPU tests show weak performance but decent efficiency2·2 years agoExynos Samsung batteries. Tensor is based on Exynos, and S23 has only Qualcomm variant. That’s why Pixel 7 drains battery faster than S23.
deadcream@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Pixel 8's Tensor G3 GPU tests show weak performance but decent efficiency111·2 years agoI don’t care about gaming performance on a phone, but battery life in Pixel 7 have been worse than in competitors like Galaxy S23.
He was pretty clear in Quran on that topic.
