I think Wine has had WOW support for some time and it seems it will be the default at some time (arch moving to wow64).

Edit: What is WOW64

WoW64

All transitions from Windows to Unix code go through the NT syscall interface. This is a major milestone that marks the completion of the multi-year re-architecturing work to convert modules to PE format and introduce a proper boundary between the Windows and Unix worlds.

All modules that call a Unix library contain WoW64 thunks to enable calling the 64-bit Unix library from 32-bit PE code. This means that it is possible to run 32-bit Windows applications on a purely 64-bit Unix installation. This is called the new WoW64 mode, as opposed to the old WoW64 mode where 32-bit applications run inside a 32-bit Unix process.

The new WoW64 mode is not yet enabled by default. It can be enabled by passing the --enable-archs=i386,x86_64 option to configure. This is expected to work for most applications, but there are still some limitations, in particular:

Lack of support for 16-bit code. Reduced OpenGL performance and lack of ARB_buffer_storage extension support.

The new WoW64 mode finally allows 32-bit applications to run on recent macOS versions that removed support for 32-bit Unix processes.

“How am I going to be racist today? OOH, the parallel command is pretty woke”

All these “concerned” comments about systemd, wayland, etc, always seemed dog whistling to me. I have critiques about these projects, but the specific things this specific type of people says always comes coded in some form of racism/transphobic/mysoginistic rethoric. Just changed from gamergate to linuxgate.

So i’m not surprised that they turned mask off like this.

Look at any anti-systemd channel, the comments are always the worst thing ever. Some lkml reading channels have these comments too.

I tried before, but I made my life hell on earth. I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.

If it was that simple… I agree that we need to get off Meta, but this country runs on Whatsapp, if I don’t have one, I can’t even talk to customer service or talk to anybody really.

Living in Brazil without Whatsapp is hell, you lost 150% of you communication with the world and people just assume you’re a serial killer, because you don’t have social media.

The proof:

Got an ad for amazon on whatsapp just now. Fucking hate this company.

Yeah, I think a fork fits that purpose too.

About Lunduke 2.0, Idk, but i feel a mixture of distrotube (like the gun video) + luke smith + a lot of people from that era maybe.

Yeah, I see that the fight is a bit ambiguous, CoC, etc, but even linus himself got to him in 2021 because of mRNA vaccines. His work was important, but breaking things in a project that’s so old, and with so many things depending on it (like my old computer), and turning into Lunduke 3.0 seems very bad.

This happened in a release version and in the git version too, I tried the git version after seeing the problem in the release version.

Edit: Idk, but this blunder might have make xorg deprecated a lot faster than even before this.

“There was also a revert to avoid unnecessarily breaking the NVIDIA driver. It was also commented by NVIDIA that some additional requests for other reverts are coming too.”

Did this dude break resume/suspend on nvidia in x11? I think last year x11 on nvidia just stopped suspending at some time (I was trying some things on x11) and in wayland it worked, I even moved to xorg-git, but the errors persisted. If this is related, dude was/is the worst developer ever.

I deleted a post because it was the dumbest shit ever written by humanity. I was drunk at the time…

The anti-systemd manifesto on the website: we should have 5000 different packages with no integration whatsoever to manage the OS internals like ntp, services, timers, dns, etc.

I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.

Most healthy phoronix discussion in the comments, systemd, x11 and rust too.

In my opinion systemd helps a lot, dns becomes a lot easier (like managing dns-over-tls), managing services becomes fine (even managing zram on distros without the zram configuration package), etc, so I see why they would want to change some internal stuff to use systemd, less chores on the devs.

These cards have different informations inside of it, so checking for credit card number + the secret number is different than the cell phone number + carrier information, etc, so it gives mumbo jumbo to the reader if it’s not the same type, but people already know that. Sorry for commenting irrelevant information.

But good to know that a credit card can’t just have a random cell phone information hahaha.

Yes.

Pqp, fui descoberto.

My tablet draws 4.5w at peak, at low loads it draws almost nothing (x86_64 tablet), maybe it’s the design of the laptop/tablet, but mine just consumes the same even with waydroid on, maybe setting efficiency in the BIOS help, but idk. On windows it just consumes a power plant every minute, linux is just efficient.

Idle power usage is not a lot higher…

Waydroid is a android translator(?) for linux on wayland, it runs android applications in a translation layer (android has linux under it), so you can install a ROM (there’s a default one without google applications like google play services, but you can search a ROM with it) and run android applications like any phone with a custom ROM.

Edit: The tablet with waydroid running:
