for the semantically inquisitive folk.
It's worth noting if you are using this on an arm device, this isn't a "virtualization VM" any more, as you are using the emulator backend, so this is far closer to a traditional emulator then anything else.
While the term virtual machine is extremely poorly defined, it could still apply.
also TCG is as slow as molasses, it's a good demo, not actually usable for much, at least unless it's a super beefy phone.
how much of that is due to people actually being able to actually buy a s24, or because that just what happens to be their phone carrier's option? when selling phone it's extremely important distinction, most people can get their phones "significantly cheaper" so to speak, via their carrier.
As an ex cellphone salesman I have never seen any carriers here in canada selling phones in like, pretty much the last decade almost now. Canadian here. Rodgers, Bell, Koodo, Fido, off the top of my head, none sell sony phones.
Now I did often try to sell cellphones to folk out right since IMO it's far better to own the device and pay for a cheap plan, but to do that, phones need to actually be affordable.
Why People Arent Buying Sony Xperia Phones
because they are fucking expensive
Well, tracker2.postman.i2p just told me upon loading it that it’s under heavy load. In the past few days it seems to have a steady 1-2 dozen new torrents a day. The site has statistics but seemingly only for the past day, however this is roughly what I expected, or maybe less.
Im talking more about the total amount of users/swarm size. it didn't have much list I checked, aside from a couple really popular torrents hitting around maybe 2-3k peers.
I mean piracy activity wise, it seems fairly head. maybe im just remembering differently since pirating was a bit less popular, but it feels like it was more healthy in the past.
is i2p even worth it anymore? I checked a while back and it seemed pretty dead. not too many people at all
I'm not defending x11, both wayland and x11 are trash, it's just whichever trash pile you find yourself most comfortable in.
On x11, fractional scaling is more or less just handled by the gui toolkit. It does suck that you need to set an env var for it, but IMO that isn't too bad.
the multi monitor stuff does suck for sure. It's not an issue for me personally. One thing that is a massive issue for me is x11's terrible handling of touch, I use touch screens daily so that's a massive issue for me, wayland compositors are also typically quite a bit faster then x11 + wms on low end systems now too (not to be confused with total resource usage/lightness).
Wayland has a lot of things going for it, but it also has a lot going against it. Both are terrible. Arcan save us (oh how a man can dream)
This is actually one thing that doesn't involve wayland, as pretty much everyone is using at-spi. It's not great, but it does work.
for one, it's missing a good chunk of A11y stuff, activity watch requires something to monitor the active window, there is a PR for that, still not merged, this has been an issue for years
It's missing protocols that will let applications request to be a privileged application, which is necessary for applications to use other functionality.
Missing protocols to control always-on-top / layers, which is needed for OSKs to function, and a couple other A11y things off the top of my head.
It's not just a11y either, Window positioning still isn't merged, which means if your app opens two "windows", you cannot currently select where to open them, or to even bind two windows together (Android emulator does this for instance).
There is a LOT wayland is missing, it IS getting better, just at a snails pace.
Because Wayland is STILL lacking a lot of things that people need.

color management is actually super hard to do, so making sure it's done right is very important, so this is one of the few times it actually makes sense. I mean, just take a look at windows, it still looks like shit over there.
