@Viss @lwn not if you subscribe :)
@Viss @lwn this is intentional - subscribe to read it now, or wait to read it for free after a while. It's how LWN has worked and funded their operations for a long time.
@asie update (note that we're 2/3rds into March, so it'll probably land around 2k at the current rate)
@domi impossible, sorry, the irssi crowd actively hates humanity
@quad this is the same limitation as on the iPhone 16 (same chip). It might be that the display controller is cut down/too slow to drive higher resolutions, especially that earlier M1/M2 chips had weird hardware limitations in the display controller dependent on the SKU. (Or yknow, Apple doing Apple.)
@mupuf @elly @whitequark I installed some hardware and cable/dongle/pendrive holders on those pegboards at home recently and it's great - if someone came up with a rolling shelf full of pegboard walls with a spacer to stop collisions, mmm, one can dream~
@domi @wolf480pl @valpackett it helps a little that X11 hasn't meaningfully changed for the past 20 years -_-

@domi nah, I don't think it'll kill small compositors. The existing "meta" of X11 WMs will very likely die because it's a massive effort to detach a project like that from X11, but with libs like wlroots, swc or smithay the bar to clear is muuuch lower than reinventing the whole userspace display stack from scratch again.

If anything, X11 has to finally die for real instead of being kept on perpetual life support for those smaller WMs to kick off for real.

@Foxboron @domi it's nice how the proposed solution for plaintext secrets over SPI including the active interposers looks a lot like TLS
