This reminds me of No boiler plate's video on plain text. I have to agree that the diff-ability and support of version control are one of the best features of plain text.
My biggest reason for using it over gnome terminal is osc52 support https://ali.anari.io/posts/osc52/ which lets you copy paste using a escape sequence. Meaning you can copy paste when ssh'ed into another machine. Gnome terminal doesn't support this currently and there is a discussion on whether they will because of security concerns https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2495
Curious what bigger screen and keyboard you found. I was looking for similar stuff and struggled to find larger square displays. The closest I could find was spare blackberry passports screens, but you'd have to reverse engineer the screen connector.
In the original post about dropping RISC-V support chimera Linux mentions that this existing hardware is too slow realistically use for build machines. They specifically mention the JH7110 which powers the framework board and the spacemit k1/m1 that powers the DC Roma laptop.
So yeah there is hardware available but expect raspberry pi 3 or lower levels of performance.
We're an open source consultancy. Generally customers hire us to work on some part of their stack that is open source software, where we fix bugs, add features, or help with maintenance.
From what I see Igalia is like the closest you can get to pure good in the space. They work on open source software to make it better, they make money while doing it, and from what I can tell all their employees really seem to like what they're doing too.
I think the implication is that the hardware is being constrained by what software is able to run on it. That there is a wealth more of Vulkan applications that a user would want to run, and they are currently unable to do that, since MoltenVK cannot support everything a Vulkan application may need.
I understand and that would make sense. Personally, I absolutely loath the font rendering on macOS, and I just installed the Asahi Linux a year or so ago myself because the fonts are much easier on my eyes, or my ability to control the font settings that is.
I do miss subpixel antialiasing on large screens that are 4K or lower.
It annoys me that Apple picks a non-integer scaled resolution by default, but HiDPI 2x looks great on a MacBook Pro and on 27" 5K and 32" 6K. If only there were more, and more affordable, monitors in those two spaces...
A lot of modern mobile GPUs have hardware plane support in the display controller. These kind of act like more versatile hardware cursors that can display any kind of data and also apply transformations to it. Afaik this is used for hardware cursors now.
I wish the US would change their tax laws. I'm a US citizen who was born in Canada. I've never lived in the US, I can't vote in any US elections, but I still have the burden of filing US taxes every year and making sure I don't make financial decisions that the US would tax me on. All these great "benefits" for the privilege of being born to a single parent who is American.
I've kept my US citizenship this whole time as I wanted to keep my options open to move to the US in the future. But the older I get and the more settled I am in Canada, revoking my citizenship seems like the best option.
