@debacle@framapiaf.org @typst@mastodon.social For what purpose? I'm a contributor to all three and maintainer of one and find they all have a place in my production work, but none is universally better at everything.

@Okuna@social.tchncs.de I doubt your problem is the choice of ISO. It sounds like your problem is Virtual Box. Either you don't have the right CPU settings in there or perhaps in your BIOS you do not have virtualization extensions enabled.
What host OS are you using? Is it possible you used an i686 host OS to run VB?
Same CPU in a FW13 here by the way, and I've tried tones of images on it without much hiccups. Arch for primary of course but have booted many other images on it. Great system.
#firefox development has manifestly lost the plot.

@khaled@typo.social I don't speak a lick of Arabic but seeing your work sometimes makes me wish I had some publishing work to do in it just for the excuse to use your fonts :)

@Natanox@chaos.social @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org Again? My 12th gen 13" has removable RAM. I think you're mixing up the desktop mainboards with the laptops.

@GrapheneOS @make @josephcox I think this completely missed the point of the question. The notification push service is irrelevant, this is about local notification caching on device. See recent iOS Signal message retrieval fiasco.
Averaging my observation of developers over the decades I can say there is a significant direct –but not universal– correlation between those who have historically produced the sloppiest commit message histories and those who are now embracing the vibe coding mentality.

@BrianJopek@mastodon.world Not a single word as to why or how this altercation happened? This is so patently propaganda — without any context for what lead to the pose the picture actually says nothing at all.

@britter Check Arch packages, I did that that too. I also objected upstream and it sounds like it might get changed to opt-in for self builds and only enabled be default for their binaries.

@guy_bockamp Yes. I have the FW13. Surprisingly tactile for the profile ... not like '90s era laptops with 7mm travel but still nice action. And blank caps are chefs kiss since I don't use standard layouts anyway. The FW16 I understand has nicer firmware with a GUI to remap keys, but the FW13 actually has a programmable firmware too, the only catch being a bit cryptic commands to get there and you have to do it after the power is on each time since the changes don't survive power off.

@guy_bockamp The best laptop keyboard I've owned, hands down. Not perfect (my desktop input is a Keyboardio Model 100 if that tells you anything) but definitely a top-tier option as for as laptops go.

@valere This is the first positive development news on Firefox I've heard about in a hot minute — lately it has been mostly ‘AI’ cruft being added.
Replying to
@frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org Bah! Whats the point it upgradable systems if you come out with overhauls this big? I want one but my current FW13 already fits my use case.
What part would I have to upgrade to get the battery life?
Replying to
@seanpm2001@techhub.social No, as a general rule shaping can only be applied to glyphs inside a single font. Styles like italic and weights are identified as different fonts. If you really need to accomplish this you need to subset both fonts then combine them again with mix-matched subsets to put all the marks you need in the same font face. Then just hope the mark anchors are in the same place across faces.
Replying to
@slint@fosstodon.org A hard call but probably the right one. I would keep the pathways open for people to contribute to the native styles even if you only officially concentrate on one style.

@zormit @teamtype @sanchithhegde Not to my knowledge, but it is still interesting because the editor UI itself uses a collaboration protocol internally so you can open up multiple editor instances editing the same file. It isn't just a headless UI either, it's using a collaboration protocol internally for collaborating between editors which would map 1-to-1 to between users.
@webbeef @servo It is frustrating to watch app after app struggle|e to reinvent tiling — as if tiling window managers didn't exist. I grant there is some use for an additional layer of tiling (I use tmux panes and vim splits and other app spacific side-by-side views) but these browser tiling implementations always seem to start with the assumption the window manager has nothing for them.

@aperezdc@oldbytes.space 47 minute build time on this end. Yes that's a bit of a chonker! At least for now there is a copy in my user repo.

@googlefonts@typo.social @tobestobs@typo.social insert "always has been" meme here.
'Static' has always been a misnomer for decades since there has been a Turing complete language built in. It's just a lot accessible and expressive now. Same story for WASM shaping 'tables'.

And thereafter:

Replying to
@whynothugo Ha! I've bumped into at least two projects with exactly that scenario — when I was comparing parsers for use in a vim plugin. Several projects started with that is the main goal then got sidetracked without achieving it.
Replying to
@webbeef Hey just a post script ... I should have noted who my frustration was directed *towards*. I failed to communicate well there. Given that most apps I've seen try to do this are primarily targeting platforms without sane window management this really isn't on them. It's squarely on Apple & Microsoft for keeping nice things away from their users. Linux has pushed forward many different window management paradigms and some flavor of tiling has now ended up in almost every major DE there is.
Replying to
@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Apparently somebody posted the same sentiment in German a few hours before me:
https://social.tchncs.de/@kuketzblog/116390234954585588
Given the official response to that seems to be an argument that it is necessary and blaming Mastodon threading instead of even considering backing off or acknowledging we may have a point it looks like I may have to unfollow as well.

@Okuna@social.tchncs.de The AMD Ryzen in an x86_64 architecture. The error you showed indicated that it was *expecting* and couldn't find an x86_64 hardware platform. Instead it found a 32 bit CPU that last released in the era of Intel Pentium and AMD Duron chips! In other words the AMD ISO you downloaded is correct for your actual hardware but what you gave in in the virtual machine was 32 bit and it is completely understandable that a modern distro ISO labeled AMD would not support it!

@ActionRetro if that special pairing isn't hooked up to a 45 pound IBM mechanical keyboard with clicks loud enough to wake the neighbor's baby then color me disappointed.
