Does anyone know how to test a Wayland session with a Kubuntu 24.04 live USB? I'm testing it out now, but I see that it's using an X11 session. I'd like to test how the laptop would work under Wayland instead, before installing Kubuntu or Ubuntu for good.

Some web search lead to this post, which gives quite involved instructions but it's from 2020. Hopefully it's more straightforward now?

Cheers!

lack of global hotkeys in Wayland, graphics tablet support issues, OBS not supporting embedded browser windows, Japanese and other foreign as well as onscreen keyboard support issues that are somehow worse than on X11, no support for overscanning monitors or multiple mouse cursors, no multi-monitor fullscreen option, regressions with accessibility, inability of applications to set their (previously saved) window position, no real automation alternative for xdotool, lacking BSD support and worse input latency with gaming.

All things that don't matter to modern users.

Cheers! Great project.

Is there a link to the thing itself? Or a non-video presentation?

I believe it's just his usual, crucial boredom, coming from his raw power... How interesting can it be to listen to some guy babbling about a better organization for fighting monsters and inspiring heroes, when you could easily annihilate a planet full of monsters with one punch, and other heroes call you "caped baldy"? 😂

Commented Bringhurst thus:

Use spaced en dashes – rather than close-set em dashes or spaced hyphens – to set off phrases.

[...] The em dash is the nineteenth-century standard, still prescribed in many editorial style books, but the em dash is too long for use with the best text faces. Like the oversized space between sentences, it belongs to the padded and corseted aesthetic of Victorian typography.

Used as a phrase marker – thus – the en dash is set with a normal word space either side.

(The Elements of Typographic Style, 2004, § 5.2.1)

Would it have any effect?

This was a cool chapter from so many points of view indeed!

spoilerAlso the Darkshine moment.

And the Serious Series of course!

Looks like an item from a PC or NPC of the Charlatan class...

It mentions "greyskull", maybe some connection with She-Ra or He-Man as well?

PS: are the recurring ones per month or per year?

[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you so much! If I understand correctly it's around 80 donors, counting recurring and one-time together?

Cheers! Then it'd be quite cheap if every user gave their 10c/month. Let's see what they say about actual donor-users.

Interested in trying out Bayesian nonparametrics for your statistical research?

I'd be very grateful if people tried out this R package for Bayesian nonparametric population inference, called inferno :

https://pglpm.github.io/inferno/

It is especially addressed to clinical and medical researchers, and allows for thorough statistical studies of subpopulations or subgroups.

Installation instructions are here.

A step-by-step tutorial, guiding you through an example analysis of a simple dataset, is here.

The package has already been tested and used in concrete research about Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, drug discovery, and applications to machine learning.

Feedback is very welcome. If you find the package useful, feel free to advertise it a little :)

[Solved thanks to @tal. See instructions below.]

I'd like to subscribe and occasionally post to some usenet newsgroup like sci.physics or sci.physics.research. It's difficult! I tried to simply enter "sci.physics" in Thunderbird's Newsgroup reader, but apparently it doesn't work simply like that... Even subscribing to news.eternal-september.org didn't help – I think my understanding of providers and groups is very confused.

Could anyone kindly help?

This is quite new. Just wanted to share. (The link is from Sci-Hub, so the whole thing seems legit).

Edit: but, if I'm getting it right, they're just replacing paywalls with another paywall?

 

Does anyone have some thinkfan setting for Thinkpad X1E4 (X1 Extreme gen 4) to share? Cheers!
