Sunshine should be able to do hardware encoding for that GPU, it has support for VA-API

Pretty much lol. If I remember correctly his reason for leaving was them adding moderation tools

he left Bluesky around 2 years ago

I think it comes from the fact that a lot of communities and projects use Discord basically like they would with IRC, with voice chats often not even existing in some servers. I have to assume the people who recommend Matrix are only ever in that kind of server.

I’m in 2 or 3 servers with different friend groups and of course each one is full of friends of friends of friends. Even the smallest is over 30 people, but I only regularly join VC with 3-4. If I had to call all of them to be in a voice call I would literally never do it.

Same goes for chats, in Matrix the closest things to channels and servers is rooms and spaces. The difference is that you don’t join a space, you just view rooms in the space and join them. Most of my servers have a ton of different channels for different things, I want to be able to see what happens in all of them without having to join each one, announcing to them that I’ve joined.

I like Matrix for FOSS project discussions, but I don’t think it’ll ever be the right pick for just hanging out with friends.

This is just a link to the branding repo. There isnt much to maintain in there.

Drop-in voice channels are a requirement for a discord alternative, Matrix does not have them. AFAIK you still need to call an entire channel to start a voice chat.

This is true that some blurs could be undone, but the ones used in the files are definitely destructive and cannot be undone. Grok and any other image generation tool is also definitely not capable of doing it. It requires knowledge of how it was blurred so you can use the same algorithm to undo it, models simply guess what it should look like.

I’m not super familiar with sysext, but from my understanding, you’d need to create an additional sysext to include, or find an existing one for DMS (I couldn’t find one).

Your other options would be using rpmtree or a custom image. Theres already a few images out there that are based on Bluefin with Niri + DMS added.

Tbh I’m recalling struggling to find good documentation for sysext. Asking in the ublue discord will probably get you better answers.

“read the changes before installing a major update”

Obviously I dont think people need to read every change log for every piece of software. I do think its a good idea to read the release notes for a major update of your DE thought, since its the piece of software that is going to effect you the most.

And once it is no longer on and has become a setting, they can just remove the setting and force people to drop gsettings and then remove it completely.

What reason do they possibly have to do this? The setting already exists and is feature complete. It doesnt require maintenance. They also noted in the merge request that many RHEL users use it, so RedHat has a financial incentive not to remove it.

They could also instead ask people on first launch. Some people enable telemetry, so they will find out how many people prefer to keep it, which I bet will be most.

They could also just make it a setting. I really dont think it makes a big difference. They can also still use telemetry to see how many users enable it. Based on this thread, I really doubt it will be most.

The first time startup wizard should be kept relatively short and minimal. This just seems like a very unnecessary thing to include.

This is AI generated garbage with no sources.

It will break their workflow for a few seconds before they change the setting back. Or they could read the changes before installing a major update and change it before even doing anything.

Maybe in the future it will be added to the initial setup guide along with stuff like mouse acceleration, but I really dont think its that big a deal.

Do any DEs still have 1 click folder opening by default?

If you add the shortcut at the DE level it definitely should work in every program. Idk if Gnome actually let’s you bind copy and paste though.

It already is configurable, theyre just defaulting it to off. You will be able to turn it back on.

It’s very easy for a user to accidentally paste private or sensitive information somewhere dangerous if theyre unaware of this feature.

The FreeDesktop specification refers to this feature as an “easter egg”, and something like this should absolutely not be an easter egg.

This change would mean disabling it by default and adding a settings entry that actually explains it, making sure users are informed before they can accidentally use it.

And that is the exact reason that was given in the gnome merge request. A user being able to accidentally paste a bunch of text they didnt even know they’d copied incredibly design.

It’d be so easy for them to just add “by default” to the end of the title.

The project already has some paid options with more features: https://xpipe.io/pricing

AFAIK some HDMI to DP converters can be used to work around this. Since the converter is handling the VRR management in its own code, then converting it to DP, there’s no need for a FOSS implementation
