Framework 2880 x 1920 (new) display review

Framework 2880 x 1920 (new) display review - Lemmy.World

Wuuttup. I’m here complaining again about Framework’s Linux unfriendly display. The new one this time. https://frame.work/products/display-kit?v=FRANJF0001 [https://frame.work/products/display-kit?v=FRANJF0001] # Old display, 2256 x 1504 (3:2) ## GNOME 100% scale - Nothing looks blurry - Everything is tiny - Unusable 100% scale + large text accessibility - Nothing looks blurry - Most apps scale appropriately - Some apps don’t respect GNOME’s large text setting (Alacritty) 125% scale - Most apps look blurry (Picard, Firefox, Spotify, Alacritty) 200% scale - Everything is way too big - Unusable ## Plasma 100% scale - Nothing looks blurry - Everything is tiny - Unusable 125% scale + Apply scaling themselves - Nothing looks blurry - Most apps scale appropriate - Some apps can’t scale themselves and look tiny (Picard) 125% scale + Scaled by system - Most apps look blurry (Picard, Firefox, Spotify, Alacritty) 200% scale - Everything is way too big - Unusable # New display, 2880 x 1920 (3:2) ## GNOME 100% scale - Nothing looks blurry - Everything is tiny - Unusable 100% scale + large text accessibility - Nothing looks blurry - Most apps scale appropriately - Some apps don’t respect GNOME’s large text setting (Alacritty) - Everything is tiny 150% scale - Most apps look blurry (Picard, Firefox, Spotify, Alacritty) 200% scale - Everything is way too big - Unusable ## Plasma 100% scale - Nothing looks blurry - Everything is tiny - Unusable 150% scale + Apply scaling themselves - Nothing looks blurry - Some apps can’t scale themselves, but look a little better here? (Picard) 150% scale + Scaled by system - Most apps look blurry (Picard, Firefox, Spotify, Alacritty) 200% scale - Everything is way too big - Unusable # tl;dr In the old display, GNOME at 100% + large text was the best compromise. In the new display, Plasma at 150% + Apply scaling themselves is the best compromise. Interestingly, Picard scaling itself looks super tiny in the old display, but in the new display it looks… better. It’s still not correctly scaled like native Wayland apps, but it’s better. # Warning If you can’t stomach moving from GNOME to Plasma, then 🚨 DO NOT BUY THE NEW DISPLAY 🚨. The new display is worse for GNOME. # Once again I am once again begging Framework to just give us a damn regular DPI display that works! Without workarounds. Without forcing users on specific DEs. Without forcing users to stop using their favorite apps. This new display has basically all of the flaws as the previous one.

How does renouncing citizenship work?

How does renouncing citizenship work? - Lemmy.World

Let’s say I become a citizen of a country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. During naturalization, new country B tells me I have to renounce citizenship from old country A. Does that have any effects back in country A? How would country A know? Would country A even care if they found out?

Suggestions for above ground sprinkler valve enclosure?

Suggestions for above ground sprinkler valve enclosure? - Lemmy.World

I’m currently working on my sprinkler valve box. It sucks ass. It’s dug in the ground. I’m on my knees trying to replace a Hunter valve. This is the second time I’m back here this week because replacing the diaphragm didn’t fix the leak. I think I’m gonna have to replace the whole valve, but the stupid valves are in the stupid valve box. So now I have dig out the box anyway (which is something the valve box is supposed to save you from). I don’t get why people think valve boxes are a good idea… It’s making maintenance a bitch. It also hid the leak from me for a while. I only found this problem because I had a HUGE helldivers2-style bug breach here. Which makes sense: the box provides shelter and water. I’m thinking of redoing this part of the Irrigation system and having the valves stick up out of the ground. Obviously now I have to protect against the weather, but that seems like a decent trade off for easy maintenance, easy malfunction discovery, and less potential for a bug infestation. (Don’t give a crap about looks.) Does anyone have any recommendations for above ground enclosures? The main weather I have to protect against is sun. I don’t get snow or crazy wind. I just need something like a wooden crate or something to cover the valves.

My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

Framework vs Dell display comparison

Framework vs Dell display comparison - Lemmy.World

In 2024, with GNOME 45, Wayland, and 1.25 fractional scaling, regular DPI displays still look better than HiDPI displays. This is a photo of Discord on two laptops side by side. The blurry one is the HiDPI display from Framework. The sharp one is a regular DPI display from Dell. Both laptops. The difference is even more stark in person. Even the screenshots from the Framework are blurrier than the screen shots from the Dell.

Can I block posts about Reddit? - Lemmy.world

I’m starting to get tired of people talking about Reddit on Lemmy. I personally don’t care about Reddit anymore and am not interested in Reddit news. I already blocked c/reddit that helped. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to hide posts that contain a keyword?
