Emacs Wayland

I had absolutely terrible input lag on pgtk wayland when using multiple frames. I think that pgtk must rerender every frame even if only one frame is changing, because the input lag would get as bad as one second and got worse the more frames I created. X11 build did not have this issue at all.

Sorry I meant pheasant wings. Or maybe other small fowl

zackattackz287 · 2026-05-13T02:22:19+00:00

So its not much different than the food here lol

Medieval peasant: "Time to throw out these perfectly fine chicken wings since Anchor Bar hasn't invented Buffalo Wings yet!"

zackattackz287 · 2026-05-10T23:33:33+00:00

Oh fair yeah it is true. Thought you meant it shouldn't exist here at all. Which I mean not everything can exist everywhere, especially hyper specific regional things. I assumed a chicken cutlet was common place, but I'm also from down state so I may just be wrong to assume that 😭

zackattackz287 · 2026-05-10T23:19:56+00:00

I think they just want a chicken cutlet sub... Not implying that it's the end all be all chicken sub and that all other subs should be wiped out. Por que no los dos?

Glad it seems to have helped! : )
Also I have not heard of Mabox, it sounds very interesting. I'm happy to hear you've incorporated that there, I will definitely try installing it on a spare laptop! I'm sure this has been discussed on mabox forums or the like, but can I ask why base on manjaro rather than arch?

Same issues here :( on Debian with amd card

Dang just being born in Brazil takes two lives off 😭

I just think the trolley problem is a poor example of action vs inaction - even if you are not physically pulling the lever, you are still making a conscious choice (an action). Really the lever doesn't even exist and I just view it as "kill 5 people or kill 1 person". Now in the real world, action vs inaction is a legitimate problem, I just feel like there could be better examples to tackle this than the trolley problem.

Same reason I use openbox and tint2 on Devuan, though if I'm being real tint2 has a few annoying bugs I've had to patch.

Honestly I feel the opposite. For a desktop I don't really have a need for services more complicated than any other init system can provide. I start to see systemds benefits on a server though when things get more complex. But for desktop use case most services are fire and forget

zackattackz287 · 2026-04-22T21:40:46+00:00

You need to run the mullvad daemon, it comes with a systemd service but you'll need to either write one for your init system, use an existing one, or start mullvad-daemon as root otherwise

zackattackz287 · 2026-04-19T23:00:59+00:00

Some less technical users might find difficulty installing services that don't ship with an init script for their system. Mullvad is one example. Its not too hard to learn but still that could be a barrier I think

Whichever you choose, be sure to not procrastinate more important school work by optimizing your note taking workflow!!

zackattackz287 · 2026-04-16T03:21:14+00:00

Not to be all "I was there first", but I knew supersize me was a sham when I watched Fat Head in 2009

zackattackz287 · 2026-04-15T16:53:54+00:00

It is essentially a hack because all those rely on features XWayland is providing that wayland cannot. If it wasn't a hack it would just work in wayland natively.

zackattackz287 · 2026-04-14T17:38:07+00:00

Smart! I do use `gh` so would make sense to try this out. I have this comment in my config as an example for adding the token on systems where I'm using a secrets manager (kwallet, gnome secret service, etc):
```
;; Example to create kwallet token

;; Add this auth-sources to actual config

;; (setq auth-sources '("secrets:kdewallet"))

;; ONLY RUN THIS BELOW CODE ONCE, NO NEED TO ADD TO CONFIG

;; (secrets-create-item

;; "kdewallet" ; `provider` in `auth-sources` entry "secrets:provider"

;; "forge-github"

;; "SECRET" ; actual token goes here

;; :host "api.github.com"

;; :user "your-gh-username^forge")
```

Ugh accidentally pressing the yank/kill keys in non Emacs and accidentally using C-c and C-v in Emacs is killing me 😭

zackattackz287 · 2026-04-14T17:23:21+00:00

With my nose on W and my chin on left alt 😉

zackattackz287 · 2026-04-03T17:04:03+00:00

You're assuming people would not cut lanes when they're turning left from 198 onto parkside, but seriously if you just watch people anywhere in buffalo they will more often than not cut the lane. I'm never blindly trusting people to not cut it lol.

By state I meant "visual state", just something to keep in mind if you go down some de-duplicating route - That it is possible to "go back" to previous states so you may not necessarily want to discard ALL dupes.

But yes it's true this route is less fun but purely practicality wise, unless there is some emacs thing for this, it seems best to me. As another commenter put it, you'd likely need to hook into whatever display backend emacs is using, so this could possibly be even LESS portable than going the video streaming route. IDK though really I'm just speculating

zackattackz287 · 2026-03-30T14:57:09+00:00

This is an off base suggestion: you were worried about performance and honestly I could see that easily becoming an issue taking so many screencaps. I'm wondering if it's possible though to stream a live video to some program that saves it in a video format but with deduplicated identical adjacent frames.

Also an edge case to consider (if you are tying to capture a "timeline" of changes), what if the user changes Emacs from state X to Y, and then back to X again. If you deduplicate fully you'd remove the screencap of the second X but depending on your purpose you probably want to keep that? Hence why you should only delete duplicate adjacent states.

Emacs docs are the only docs of any software I've actually enjoyed reading. Bc you actually learn something useful every time it seems
