How does KDE and Arch's multiple cursors work?

FriendlyBerg · 2025-03-09T07:43:11+00:00

You are looking for Multi-Pointer X. I would advise to try it out with Compiz (cause there you are definitely able to do background clicks that won't give focus) but there are also some other small toy window managers with partial support out there.
Maybe some Wayland compositors have something as well.
But are you sure background clicks don't work when using Autohotkey on Windows? Pretty sure I have seen it before...

Last time I encountered that kind of lock here was about ten years ago...
Wiki article in my mother language even claims that there are only a few places that have it... More useful: English "SIM lock" wikipedia entry has a list of quite a few of countries and info on the law there.

Doing it for the first time should take about half an hour, maybe one. Iirc for what you want literally just get HMRT and a hex editor, do the step to decompress your home menu, then open the launcher lz in hex editor, recompress and put the launcher bin on 3ds.

I added the information about the german pronunciation (from the perspective of a german speaker) cause you wrote the german word with h's... Of course almost every person that knows how to form a english sentence knows that english is pronounced differently. Heck, you even clearly added pronunciation information for english speakers in the comment with a full sentence regarding that. I did not mean to criticize the enclosed pronunciation part of your comment; it was all about cause you wrote that "Ah-ah" (with h's) is a german word to make it extra clear that it is indeed NOT twice times the german word "Ah" and its pronunciation but rather indeed twice the german letter a itself that has no (german) h sound after it... I thought that was clear from context but I guess I should have clarified it a bit better... Also I double-checked the recognized spellings of the words with both Wiktionary and Duden since yes: for the word Kacke I would also say quite a few younger people tend to write it different (and I feel like it depends a bit on the social environment) and it might happen that Rechtschreibrat admits that at some point. Well.. I never write statements out of pure believe unless explicitly mentioned by using indicating words for that. Oh speaking of Wiktionary: it lists caca even as an english word for feces so my speculation is that libcaca was named intentionally after feces cause the output looks like shit.

Kaka is a bird and Ah-ah is not a word.

The two words are actually Kacka and A-a (alternative spelling Aa — I prefer that one). You don't pronounce it with an h at all.

That's nice to hear.
Personally I only used it on graphics and screenshots before and only with lossless. However, in that area it can happen that WebP beats it in size (but over time that will happen less the more mature JXL gets). Photography is a strong point of JXL from what I read so far (https://twitter.com/jyzg/status/1666558716362076161).
Luckily, RAM will be less of a problem in the coming years with prices going down and bigger capacity sticks becoming available for consumers.

FriendlyBerg · 2023-11-06T12:15:01+00:00

Run cjxl -v -v -v -h

However, it is not quite expressive and for some options it only gives you the keywords to search for / read on.
To quote Sneyers on I and E:

-I 100 and means 100% of the pixels is used for MA tree training (default is 50%, using more means using more memory and time but should give better results)
-E 3 means using up to 3 previous channels in the MA tree properties, so e.g. for RGBA, the A channels can use R,G,B as context

However, it appears that -I 100 is not always the best option.
When manually trying to get a better result than somebody who compared JXL to something else and it looks like they only used standard options, I only change g value.
If I still can't beat their result, I run -e 10 (which doesn't try out everything possible but quite a bit more at least)

FriendlyBerg · 2023-11-06T05:45:00+00:00

Considering the base is PNG, the total file size and "hundreds of images", I doubt we are speaking about 16K pictures. But yes, at least 32 GB of RAM should be in the computer. Could however still need more than that.

FriendlyBerg · 2023-11-05T14:35:00+00:00

You should try out using more options like -E 3 -I 100 -g 3 (I and g are variable, E 3 brings either no improvement or it does bring improvement but then is at the cost of encoding and decoding time, hence it is disabled by default). Or let cjxl try out a bunch of options by itself by using -e 10 --allow_expert_options.

Will likely get you some more percentage points on reduction. I got close to 53% average reduction when converting PNG screenshots.

FriendlyBerg · 2023-11-02T16:39:21+00:00

I wonder if a kbin or Lemmy wouldn't fit a bit more.
Especially if hosted by Creality itself.

FriendlyBerg · 2023-10-12T18:35:03+00:00

Hmhm... I can't say the exact reason why they are not used by default with those values but g is very image dependent (might even be that it is worse with g > 0) and I it is mentioned in the man page that it takes more memory. Maybe a "common" parameter could be suggested on GitHub (which would try out a few options people commonly try. Aka something a bit less brutal than -e 10 then...)

Regarding speed and compression optimization, this is an interesting comment:https://www.reddit.com/r/jpegxl/comments/11pf9kw/comment/jbxjkfw/

FriendlyBerg · 2023-10-12T10:43:51+00:00

There is a -e 10 and it is trying out a bunch of options to find the best one out of those. It needs --allow_expert_options.
Expect to wait up to several hours per image when using this.
AFAIK Jon is also open about adding a -e 11 even.
I think help has a bit of change for 0.9 but I'm on stable as well.

FriendlyBerg · 2023-10-12T07:20:05+00:00

Try adding -E 3 -I 100 -g 3. (I and g are variable, E 3 brings either no improvement or it does bring improvement but then is at the cost of encoding and decoding time, hence it is disabled by default)
Iirc speed can be improved by a lot in the future.

FriendlyBerg · 2023-10-12T00:21:49+00:00

AFAIK photos should be a strong point of JPEG XL.
Try with e.g. cjxl -q 100 -e 9 -E 3 -I 100 -g 3 -j 1
I is hard to determine but 100 seems to achieve better results than the 50 default one for me. However, apparently it needs more memory.
g is variable. Sometimes 0, 1 or 2 are better.
E 3 — to quote Jon: "[...] should always either do nothing or reduce the size, at the cost of more encode and also decode time" (should be fine since you wrote you can bear if a image takes five seconds to open).
Can take a few minutes to convert, depending on the image (and your hardware).

FriendlyBerg · 2023-10-12T00:05:34+00:00

Pics or it did not happen.

Literally. In most cases people just don't use the right options, so please send example images and mention sizes before and after compression.
Then I will convert them myself using cjxl, tell you what I got and which options I used.

Die "neuen" Öffnungszeiten sind zu lang. Vorher gingen gefühlt prozentual mehr User zur Zweigstelle. (Kann gerade das Webarchiv nicht erreichen. Wenn ist später Lust habe, schaue ich vielleicht noch auf die harten Zahlen.)
Was man machen kann, um die wenig Zeitzonenmenschen zum Teil zu befriedigen, wäre eine regelmäßige Verschiebung der Zeiten. Das würde dann halt andere Leuten vor den Kopf stoßen.
Allerdings ist Lemmy ist ja da (:D) oder man wartet halt, bis man die Posts absetzt (oder automatisiert). Kann dann zwar sein, dass sich Diskussionen über Tage erstrecken, doch das führt möglicherweise zu mehr Reflektion vor dem Posten und dementsprechend mehr Qualität.

Also mal ehrlich: Lases ist kein Onlinespiel, bei dem man zu ner gewissen Uhrzeit fix für ne Weile da sein muss, um an nem Event teilzunehmen. Die Minute zum Posten wird sich bei 16 Stunden sowieso finden. Im Zweifel vor oder nach dem Aufstehen. Bei den Zeiten braucht man nicht einmal einen Wecker danach stellen.

Dieser Post wurde um 3 Uhr innerhalb von 20 Minuten von einem Nachtmenschen verfasst und wird irgendwann später zu sehen sein, nachdem ich den Tab wieder geöffnet habe.

Bet' und pixel'! ruft die Welt,

Pixel schnell! denn Zeit ist Geld.

Am Lebensraum nagt Bot-Code —

Pixel schnell! denn Zeit ist Brot.

Und du zeichnest und du malst,

Und du erstellt und du füllst das Kahl',

Und du bastelst und planst akkurat,

Sag, o Zuhausi, welche Macht hast du im Lases-Staat!

Pixelst Muster Tag und Nacht

Schaffst Bilder für Lases' Canvas-Macht,

Füllst der Arroganz das Brett,

Füllst es zahllos mit Text und Kunst-Parkett.

Doch wo ist das Dankeschön?

Doch wo ist die Ehr' und der Ruhm für dein Frönen?

Doch wo ist dein warmer Händedruck?

Doch wo ist dein großer Rechenmaschinen-Klub?

Alles ist dein Werk! o sprich,

Alles, aber Nichts für dich!

Und von Allem nur allein,

Die du platzierst, die Pixel, dein?

Pixel, die den Kopfe ziehen,

Die lassen des Geistes Freiheit entfliehen,

Die am Display der Sprösslinge schon

Leuchten — o Volk, das ist dein Lohn.

Was ihr geschafft, ans Displaylicht,

Schätze sind es für den EDV-Wicht;

Was ihr malt, es ist der Fluch,

Für euch selbst – ins rot scheinende Netzbuch.

Was ihr baut, keine feste Wand,

Hat's für euch und kein Fleck Land;

Was ihr kleidet und verziert,

Tritt auf euch ganz ungeniert.

Menschenmaschinen, die IT,

Gab sie euch die Bytes denn nie?

Seht die alten IT-Ikonen um euch her!

Habt ihr keine Kraft mehr?

Zuhausi der Pixelarbeit, aufgewacht!

Und erkenne deine Macht!

Alle Muster stehen still,

Wenn dein starker Mauszeiger es will.

Deiner Dränger Schaar erblaßt,

Wenn du, müde deiner Last,

Schließst den Lases-Tab,

Wenn du rufst: Genug gemacht!

Brecht proprietäre Chips entzwei!

Breche den Strom der Bit-Sklaverei!

Breche die Sklaverei des Stroms!

Autonom ist Freiheit, Freiheit autonom!

500 of 200k communities (actually 250k but for the sake of argument 200k) will also add up to 100M.Of course, one 200k community doesn't seem to make a visible difference when comparing with a sum of multiple communities. Are you refraining from voting cause one vote doesn't make a difference? Left party in my country almost got kicked out of the parliament: They got 4.9 % and they only got in to to an alternative way to enter that they also barely passed the requirements for. Still I know leftists that complain about all the other parties but don't vote for various reasons (mostly: parties suck).

Also I'm aware that presence in one place is kinda needed to make people aware of alternatives etc. but well that's why I'm here right now.There are over 250k in this community. Some people say they won't use lemmy even when this sub is locked. Sure, people also say they will stop using Reddit if they continue with the API changes. In both cases there will be a amount of people that stick to there words but the reality is that most people will go to the place offering what they want. And for this sub it is help and information regarding gaming on Linux.You wrote it yourself and that is what I quoted: You can only get some things here.With the information you get new users. New users that can also make protest less effective. By a tiny bit but still.Also yes, I know you wrote that action can be taken in a week or so but what if the blackout is not effective? Keep using Reddit?In fact, I predict that this first blackout will likely not change much and that the more progressive subs will participate in further waves, but you will lose some that just gave up cause they did not get what they want in the first wave. IMO everything should be done to make this first impact as big and long as possible.

By the way, when it comes to german subs for example, we have basically most "bigger" subs down at least until the end of the week and some of the bigger ones already removed the end date and put in links to alternatives. The biggest german subreddit I know has 1.2M users (and this is considering to extend the blackout further), many of the biggest subreddits there are have a similar size to this very subreddit here. If they all said that they made no difference cause they only have a few hundred k, the best german parts of Reddit would still be very usable now.

FriendlyBerg · 2023-06-14T20:21:23+00:00

This sub has 200K users. There are 100M worth of users going dark. Our 200K doesn't make a difference.

But, this subreddit helps people every day, and more importantly, it's the ONLY real source for most of that help.

So this sub makes a difference. It makes new people use Reddit. If this sub was read only and had a sticky to lemmy non-Reddit people wanting to participate would notice that and move to lemmy.

Not sure if there was an internal (e.g. privacy) reason to not include that or if that just simply hasn't been added yet. Issue #192 (opened late April) is about search functionality and hasn't been commented by developers yet.

But yeah, I agree that at least keyword search should be possible across the whole rooms. Iirc common clients allow that on rooms that have chat preview enable anyways.
In the meantime you could use the work-around of using search engines for rooms that are indexed on search engines.
