It is now, haven't you heard? Computers are reserved for LLMs only.

Well no because it's not actually compatible with X11


To be fair, it's all "junk insurance"


Wow you're right, a massive coal plant would be much more ecologically friendly.


Nah, burning an entire field of panels produces less heavy metal contamination than a day of coal.


There is some activity in the mozilla bugzilla related to the gecko ios port, who knows when anything will be usable though.


While raw C is not super helpful for generating nice bindings, I think you could get most of the way there if there were annotations for everything, e.g. like how the __counted_by__ attribute was added.


Damn I tried the bee movie script, they got me.


got how?


if you paste contents which contain a very particular string ("intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey"), the contents are replaced with the phrase "the bee movie script? really? how original"


Also got got. I assume the Bee Movie script is the first choice for a lot of people needing an ad-hoc big block of text. It also compresses pretty well.

How is that a thing? Guess I shall go down the rabbit hole.


Also for me the first time i hear about this. There goes the next hour.


Please report back, as many of us don't have an hour. We rely on soldiers like you! Thanks!


It's mostly what heliodex said, that it's a copypasta when ppl need big text. There's also a compression meme around the bee and other movies (on yt: bee movie in 10s or it gets faster everytime X). But unlike i thought in the beginning it's not a zlib specific joke.


Yeah, the movie became a bit of a meme at some point and somehow shoehorning in "the entire bee movie script" into random places became a part of that.


What happened to lorem ipsum?


not easily compressible, i guess?


It should really normalise whitespace before that check, because the version of the script I found split the line :)


Um, sorry, I don't really get it. Is "the bee movie script? really? how original" a comment?


It's the resulting string the tool gives instead of the actual compressed string info. You can see the result directly by putting some text which contains "intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey" into the input text box.


Thanks. So only for this tool - not zlib normally?



Those two attributes are not contradictory.

I guess the Guardian journalists believe that ethnically cleansing is an inherently right-wing endeavor, even though left-wing regimes have practiced this a lot and often with the blessings of communist intellectuals.


It's 2025, just use meson


Completely useless in an airgapped environment


Could you elaborate on that?


I'm guessing it needs internet for everything and can't work with local repositories.


Not really a fan of Meson but I doubt that that's the case as it is very popular in big OSS projects and distributions aren't throwing a fit.


No?


What? Wayland is a protocol. Not an API.


The OP wants to decouple the compositor from the window manager and have them talk over a protocol. Totally doable, but not with the current Wayland protocol or (AFAIK) any proposed extension. (Although I guess the shell protocol has the start of something like this?)


I mean a higher level, window-manager specific protocol. Skipping all the lower level controls.
