"I share monitors between systems using x2x. How will this work under Wayland?

Screen sharing with Wayland is in the preliminary stages. Currently, the most progress has been made in Chromium where pipewire and xdg-desktop-portal can be leveraged for screen sharing in WebRTC."

Ugh. What?

"WebRTC PipeWire support must still be enabled in the Chromium flags, as can be found by entering in the address bar: chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer" 😵

@pettter

Come to think of it, what I'm describing would just be x0vnc with a vncclient on the phone, not x2x. x2x would have the same issue as the remote mouse.

(and how would you even drag the "pointer" off the screen on a touchscreen?)

@pettter Oh. Neither direction is possible? I thought I had seen a w2x or x2w, but maybe I dreamed it.

I understand that Wayland is more careful with permissions, whereas on X everything can spy on everything, so spoofing keyboard input etc is no issue on X.

Not the same thing, but I would love to be able to use my tablet as an external screen too and extend the desktop onto it. I've seen only proprietary solutions for this.

@pettter

@pettter I've used x2x and x2vnc! Glorious.

Would love it if this were possible for Android, either direction. Changing subtitles on the computer with my phone instead of using the wireless mouse and squinting to make out the tiny icons on the TV would be nice.

Resting my phone upright on my keyboard and screen, and mere seconds later trying to move my laptop cursor onto the phone screen.

Security issues aside, would be neat if screens and their devices actually worked like this, like they do in stuff like Trek, you just grab objects and fling them in the geographic direction of other screens.

Kid, suddenly, while we're on a walk:
"I want to learn Lua now"

Any good and fun interactive Lua tutorials out there? He enjoyed Scratch because in a visual language everything is discoverable, so he could teach himself while staying within the tool and only going to YouTube when something was extra tricky.

He found some promising tutorials within Roblox itself, but they turned out to have internal consistency issues, like asking you to create a local variable without first having explained the concept and syntax.

As a guiding principle, the notion that 'bees don't waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit' has helped me filter out a lot of opinions.

"This location has really convenient access to the wet market. Do you go to the wet market?"
"No. I guess I should. I should eat more fresh vegetables."
"But you said you cook??"
"I cook stuff I get from the supermarket."
"Hah! Yeah, you Westerners are like that."

Real "tok tok, these Romans are crazy" moment. 😅

"Hi! I recognize you! You're the guy who came in here two years ago to meet [colleague who doesn't work here anymore] and could speak a bit of Cantonese! You're living upstairs in Tower XX, right?"

@Ruben You answered. 😊

Thank you for clarifying which one is your main!

I don't remember, but I'm assuming I picked which one to ping based on which one had more posts that were recent.

♲ @tregeagle@mastodon.sdf.org: Matthew threw it in. He moved away from the cultural wastelands of Surfy Sawtell and into a Melbourne where I guess he gets his kicks from the immediacy of the city life. We have resorted to texting these days. He's even slacked off on his blog!

#TShirtSpotting

@Stefan Sperling Thanks for the info! Thanks for allowing me to be lazy. 😊

@Forgejo

It's out let's goooooo!

I just upgraded and yep, we got the comments back!

♲ @forteller@tutoteket.no: Yes, finally a new version of #NewPipe is out, which fixes both that constant error message on every single video and comments not loading! It even adds support for comment replies.

Thank you devs!

Go get it while it's hot.

"Tom Holland and Zendaya are considering marriage"

"They will take her last name. So he will be just Tom."

support for the SHA-256 hash function in Git

Oh! So this is finally a usable thing now?

Does git build a parallel merkle tree with sha-256 and is the sha-256 reference a usable replacement for the sha-1 reference everywhere?

#git

♲ @forgejo@floss.social: #Forgejo v7.0 was just released! Get it at forgejo.org/download/. 🚀
