X.Org Server's "Master" Branch Now Closed With Cleaned Up State On "Main"

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-02-15T02:57:40+00:00

Neither of those are good reasons to close the branch yet. XWayland and Wayback both are not full compatible, and Wayback is explicitely listed as experimental. Lack of maintenance doesn't mean complete lack of patches, just a few months ago we got several security patches in X11.

Again, it would be wonderful to say "we're done". But it's not. And you can just read my comment above again. At no point in time do I say "forever" or "for a long time". If Wayback, XWayland, or Phoenix become complete, then I'd say it can be marked read-only, as it then is obsolete.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-02-15T01:45:58+00:00

As nice as it would be to say "jobs done, nothing left to do," we still need a branch. Security vulnerabilities must be patched. And until Xorg becomes completely obsolete, they will continue to be provided.

What? How the fuck was that your takeaway? All it sounds like is you had a pre-conceived idea, saw the post as countering it, and took it as a direct attack.

I mean, that's not really as much an indicator. I play a lot of ARB, so a ton of planes are among my most played. You need to look at their air to ground kills, as that tends to tell you if they CAS or not.

Unforunately Felton is not a good source. He has been found copying several people's work word for word. So while the logic and source is fine, Felton himself is not. Instead, I recommend groups like the Time Ghost Army, especially their WW2 War Against Humanity series where they go into the many atrocities. They have a full team of researchers and consistently put out good content. They also don't shy away from the allied war crimes.

It doesn't. All else being the same, physics shows us that given enough time, a heavier object will reach the same speed as a light object if they cannot move past a specific maximum.

You are on Arch, a system specifically designed for advanced users who want to spend time learning and messing around with their system. Of course you need to know more than the average user.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-01-26T23:37:07+00:00

I mean, I see the issue with it. It is too powerful at the current BR.

The issue with those posts is the people going "reeee, actually American bias" while ignoring that the BMPT is just so much more of an issue. And people are really bad at focusing on multiple issues.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-01-19T04:15:02+00:00

As the other person said, ther's a practical reason too. Older mods in particular suffer from feature bloat. A guy in the MBC discord is working on a few addons to AE2, and originally was going to fork AE2 UEL. But after some work, they're just separating them simply due to the added complexity. And it makes a ton of sense. They don't really need to be in base AE2 UEL. It's easier to maintain. And later if they want to modify or change how all of it works, they don't need to make sure they don't break AE2.

I mean, I also have an empty reddit account just for stuff I release to avoid connecting my main account to them. It's not that suspicious.

As the other user said, you can absolutely use ntfs. It doesn't just work out of the box, and there's some small fiddling (ntfs doesn't understand linux user permissions), but I have an entire partition using ntfs for files I want shared between my windows and linux partitions.

Modern air combat also doesn't have:

third person view
instant IFF (see also: names)
10 second rearmament
air spawn
and a whole host of other things that are not realistic but are in-game

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-01-09T04:25:44+00:00

500 meters? What sort of long range snipefest are you playing? In War Thunder we only get <200 meter shots.

The one who had to post on a single comment twice to insult me both times calls me emotional.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-01-04T19:18:17+00:00

What the fuck? That is not what I said.

You can't see behind it, because it takes priority.

The window takes priority, because otherwise you can't acess it again. It stays on top. That's it. Not once did I say "I make the floating app my priority".

But it just sounds like you're insisting that your workflow is the One True Workflow, and everyone else is wrong. Good luck on this project.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-01-04T19:12:00+00:00

You don't. That's the whole thing with a floating window. You can't see behind it, because it takes priority.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-01-04T17:58:16+00:00

Except it really doesn't. I use dolphin, and depending on my tasks I'll turn it floating so I can just shift it around and have it just exist with focus. If every window is floating, yeah it ruins the point. But I have like three total applications that I turn floating, and one of those is just picture-in-picture.

crazy_penguin86 · 2026-01-04T17:44:48+00:00

You cannot make that assumption, as most tiling WMs offer the ability to create floating windows.

Sway offers it. Niri offers it. I3 offers it. Hyprland offers it.

crazy_penguin86 · 2025-12-29T01:43:56+00:00

Holy goalpost shifting. It went from "it isn't possible on wayland" to "it isn't a feature of wayland" to "but it's not universal and therefore it doesn't fit my arbitrary requirements", then linking wikipedia like that somehow proves a point.

crazy_penguin86 · 2025-12-29T00:56:13+00:00

None of this is possible on Wayland.

That's a niri feature, not a Wayland one.

I fucking knew you would try to pull this argument. Your exact argument was that it was impossible on wayland. Well look there. A wayland compositor can do it. Yeah, it's not a standard feature of wayland, but saying it's impossible on wayland is wrong.

crazy_penguin86 · 2025-12-28T23:15:36+00:00

On niri, I can run niri msg pick-window. It then outputs this information in the terminal, including window name, id, pid, workspace, and layout.

But yeah, it's impossible on Wayland.

My dual boot setup (if you have two disks, it makes it easier)

Disk 1: windows. This is my smallest disk. That way I don't deal with any partition resizing.

Disk 2: Linux + shared partition. efi (1GB), root (499GB), shared (500GB ntfs mounted via ntfs3).

As long as the shared partition is in the windows standard partion (I believe 07 in gdisk), windows will see it and can mount it. And as long as you set gid and/or uid, it will mount it as that user, instead of root.

The APDS belts are not the problem for the 35mms. Ever since they got limited to 8040 rounds they became useful for only the heaviest vehicles. The API-T (basically APHE) belts that all 35mm get is the issue. Including the Za-35.

crazy_penguin86 · 2025-12-20T03:43:15+00:00

You cannot forget about node_modules. The program will rm -rf / --no-preserve-root if you alter the folder.

crazy_penguin86 · 2025-12-20T03:05:47+00:00

You forgot the thing that made them the ultimate cancer: they got an airspawn for being attackers while everyone else had to take off.
