i, uh, have questions

did they ask ChatGPT to write the text and then also ask it to find the images? lol

Well, my new AMD RX 7900 GRE GPU seems to be causing crashes and locking up my system after 40 mins of gameplay. I opened a drm/amd issue[1] with all the dmesg dumps, but this leaves me wondering what to do.
I still have a few days to return the GPU. But what's the alternative? Other new AMD cards also seem to have random issues (looking through drm/amd + anecdotal). Get NVIDIA and suffer a half working driver (as a Wayland compositor dev)?

I swear, every single time I'm preparing release notes for one of my projects I randomly stumble upon a completely unrelated bug that's been sitting there unnoticed for months. It just happened again with niri 0.1.4, I hit a timing based crash in the screencast code that must've been there from the beginning. I'm actually glad because it means I can fix it right away, but how does this keep happening lol

@npub1d76…897u synching-gtk in a flatpak but it's kinda bad, I think I should just use the web ui tbh

Interesting, so I've bought an HDMI=>USB-C dongle, and it turns out that two of the USB-C ports on my laptop "plug into" the iGPU, and two other USB-C ports "plug into" the dGPU. How are you supposed to find this out?

Wow I didn't realize how good Xwayland integrates with relative-pointer and pointer-constraints. So you've got your typical X11 3D game which warps the pointer to the center of the window every frame, right? Xwayland will transparently wrap all of that with an X11 virtual pointer in such a way that the game will think it's warping the pointer and receive the right events, while the Wayland compositor outside is passing relative motion and locking the pointer in place. Even rootful Xwayland!

wayland global window coordinates protocol, but it's GPS coordinates and they change as you move your monitor around

GitHub Sponsors expanded its countries three days ago, so I decided to try making a page: https://github.com/sponsors/YaLTeR

I've released a new version of Identity where you can now see the pixels! It also comes with memory leak fixes and better format support, like AV1, WebP, semitransparent and 16-bit images and videos.
Download it on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.gitlab.YaLTeR.Identity

@npub19zq…u4m5 have you tried scrollable tiling before? The thing with normal tiling is you are constrained by the screen width, which results in very awkward layouts frequently, or realistically just maximized windows everywhere. But with scrollable tiling there's no width restriction

@npub19zq…u4m5 idk my brain just Agrees with scrollable tiling on the desktop, i've been digging it

Decided to try writing a Wayland compositor for fun. Took me a few days to get things going to a video-able state.
This is scrollable tiling, heavily inspired by PaperWM (which I'm still using and very much enjoying). You've got an infinite strip of windows that you can scroll through.
It's also got dynamic workspaces which work like in GNOME Shell (the Correct™ way to do workspaces), but all monitors have workspaces.
The repo is https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri if you want to peek at the code
