Try to disable extensions first, maybe one of them messes it up

It’s gnome 47.4, arch linux

I can’t reproduce your issue. I just sent a 256x256px white png, and it looks like this:

How big is your icon in pixels? Maybe it can’t scale up small images, it only scales down big ones. Scale it up manually in an editing software.

What is PT?

New video was posted today about the current state of touch on kde and gnome: https://lemmy.wtf/post/16791767

It seems like kde is in a bit better shape nowadays, but both still far from the usability of Android.

@Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe: Take look, Unfortunately touch Linux is not in a state a big manufacturer like Lenovo could put it on a mainstream device.

If I were you I would by a 2.0 cable just to rule this out. As I see you didn’t got a lot of tips.

What cable do you use? 3840x1080 @ 60Hz is 6.18 Gbit/s. You need at least HDMI 1.3 cable, 1.0 and 1.2 max is 3.96 Gbit/s. If you want higher fps, you will need at least a HDMI 2.0 cable for that resolution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Refresh_frequency_limits_for_common_resolutions

This can be a reason why smaller resolutions are fine, that data can be transmitted on the cable.

Afaik windows on arm is still very limited, a lot programs still only support x86.

And touch ux on linux is not very convenient, I have a touch laptop and have used it with gnome for years, and it has a lot rough edges. Can a linux enthusiast use it? Sure. Would I recommend it to non computer savvy user? No, they won’t enjoy it.

I tried xfce about a year ago on an old intel atom x86 tablet, it was not usable at all. I read Gnome is the most advanced in touch support, I don’t know how touch friendly is kde nowadays.

So on windows a user would be limited to basic apps, android has much more options.

Where is the source code? Is it closed source? As I see only releases are on github

Don’t use .local as an internal domain it can cause problems. Use .internal, it was recently reserved for this purpose

Current eink devices are much more responsive than older ones, so there were definitely some improvements over the years, we need some more decades for this technology to become a viable alternative in the devices like this.

I tried that recently. I didn’t like that it doesn’t have a widget, and the downloads and current playlist are completely separate. Also there was no option to automatically continue when connecting to a headset (this was working in Ultrasonic 4.8, but not in 4.7.1 I hope they fix that bug sometime…) So after some weeks use I switched back to Ultrasonic.

My offline android music workflow:

• Server: Navidrome but any music server supporting Subsonic API would work here. Navidrome has a nice UI, and reads MusicBrainz IDs, and can scrobble to ListenBrainz, that’s why I settled with this.
• Mobile app: Ultrasonic, on Fdroid. There are a lot of ways you can set up caching. I set up that it should automatically download everything from my “Now playing” playlist, at home on wifi I just add a bunch of albums and playlists to the “Now playing” list, it takes a while but it transcodes and downloads everything in a couple of minutes. It has very good Android Auto support, and a widget. Due to an annoying bug I had to downgrade to version 4.7.1, but otherwise I love it.

I have a K750, the battery is about 15 years old with daily use. The original battery was dead when I opened it, I just bought one when it was new, and it’s still going.

In another thread some days ago others shared similar experiences as you, so maybe I’m the lucky one.

I live in a bright flat, and my computer was always near to the window, it’s charge never went below 80-90%, so maybe that’s the reason for its longevity.

So they actually want to build a dead internet? Why?

Dead internet wasn’t a goal. It’s Torment Nexus again:

base64 image is just text…

How do you stop someone posting base64 encoded CSAM. And as it is “censorship resistant” you can’t even remove it… It was even a problem here in Lemmy, assholes are around the internet to destroy anything.

Also cryptobros:

The captcha service can be replaced by other “anti-spam strategies”, such proof of balance of a certain cryptocurrency. For example, a subplebbit owner might require that posts be signed by users holding at least 1 ETH, or at least 1 token of his choice.

The more I read about this it sounds more and more terrible.

From the whitepaper it seems like you cannot comment at all? Or each comment is a post also, so you need a server, you need to host it to be able to reply? I don’t see a mention how an upvote/downvote system could work.

How this is even similar to reddit? From what I could find it’s much like a topic based microblogging, and it’s a very one way communication. As it’s similar to IPFS and torrent, which are also very one way communication. Seems like an interesting idea, but I don’t see why it was compared to reddit.

Personal opinion, IPFS clones are reinvented about every year, and because they sound very good on paper, but noone could figure out a legit usecase - maybe except piracy - they fail after a while. Maybe if we would become an actual InterPlanetary species with colonies on Mars they could be useful, but until I don’t really see a point trying it again and again and again…

I won’t watch that neckbeard’s video, only watched the first few minutes. Sorry it’s very annoying.

In the problematic article everything is in conditional tense: would/could/theoretically. Yes, it’s a clickbait shitty “article”, but if you read carefully, nothing is presented as a fact, pure speculation, even the title is “would kill kernel-level anti-cheat” not “will kill”. There was nothing to fact check in that article because it never contained any facts.

And that’s the news section not the in-house reviews. It’s terrible that current tech journalism is this clickbaity, but your comment on an unrelated, and very in depth review is just spreading FUD. If you would comment this on a Notebookcheck news it would be valid criticism.

Why? They have very in-depth reviews. Were there some controversy recently?
