My old monitor died recently and I bought a #CRG9 to replace it. I have a #AMD#Radeon 6500XT, I run #Arch#Linux with #Xorg and #EXWM and the #Compton/#Picom compositor. I bought the monitor for productivity issues as I'm not much of a gamer, the only games I play these days are Tagpro, a simple capture-the-flag browser game, and Chess.
After plugging in the monitor everything seemed to work perfectly (including Chess, which becomes relevant shortly) until I started playing Tagpro. The game seemed to stutter at times. After playing around with the monitor settings some, I noticed that when I dropped the monitor from 120Hz to 60 Hz the stuttering stopped. Everything else worked fine until I started playing Chess.
When I was playing Chess, on both Lichess and Chess.com, when I picked up a piece by mousing down and I dragged my cursor the piece position seemed to lag behind my cursor position, which was not normal behavior. I played around with the settings some more and found that if I turned the freesync settings off, I neither had the mouse-lag problem or the stuttering problem with Tagpro, but I got occasional screen-tearing.
So I'm lost about what to do. I fix one thing and something else seems to break. On the other hand, this seems to indicate that maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions on what I should try?
Relentless pressure from middle school kid about how literally everybody at school is going to skip the entire day Monday to see the eclipse (which is partial here). This whole line of argument is going about as well as one might imagine...
I'm trying to use #orgmode as a replacement for #jupyter. I'm wondering if others use Org that way, and what their solutions are for getting inline plots/images. Ideally I'd like to be able to get regular stdout output and plot output from the same code block as you can in jupyter, and then have the image show up inline at a reasonable size without having to manually mess with filenames, image sizes or adjust headers every time I want to do that.
In this video, I'll give you 5 reasons why I think you should learn Scheme this year! Regardless if you are a programming beginner or an expert hacker, there is a lot to be gained from learning this language.
Sounds great, I'd be up for a course, but the link seems to be down. It'd also depend greatly on what time this is happening. Between the job and the kids, I would unfortunately be pretty limited to when I could attend.
I’m reading Star Wars Ahsoka (trying to finish my books TBR this month) and I must say I really like her. It’s an interesting character and a nice addition to SW stellar crew. But I think it’s so upsetting all this discourse of “not being a Jedi” just because she doesn’t belong to the Jedi Temple Studio 54. So, to be a Jedi you must be a member of a country club and that’s it? #starwars#ahsoka#books#reading@bookstodon
The central question here seems to be what makes one a Jedi? To me it seems to be learning the ways and philosophy of the Jedi and the light side of the force, commitment to the order, and then to be a knight passing the trials. Ahsoka fails #2, having renounced the order. To me, she supersedes the order in #1, and #3, I suppose she never officially passed the trials. But her commitment to the light-side of the force is unquestionable.
All in all, I think it's fair to say Ahsoka is not a Jedi. In fact, she says it herself (spoilers obviously if you haven't seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9k3zy-Rr8c To my mind, she is something beyond the Jedi, especially after season 7 of The Clone Wars. I have an unreasonable attachment to my childhood heroes of the original trilogy, but I think if I had grown up today Ahsoka would be my favorite character.
Can someone help me understand what's wrong with X that #wayland was necessary? Or in what ways does wayland improve on X? Are there noticeable differences from the user's perspective?
While I appreciate all the work #ublock has done, my preferred way of watching #youtube has been with #qutebrowser launching #mpv when I click on a video.
I like that workflow as well. Using #EXWM with #Emacs made it pretty easy -- I just have a single tab per window, set my buffer name to the title of the X-window, and I'm able to fuzzy search using my completion framework.
