@algebraicterror don't, the keyboard is absolute rubbish - and if you're not gonna use it then why you getting a laptop in the first place?

#wayback, a small project gluing together wayland components to turn Xwayland into a full X environment, is now published: https://github.com/kaniini/wayback

there's definitely a gazillion bugs, which will need work across the entire stack to solve.

however, unlike Xlibre, this is a sustainable path that is intended to reduce the number of X components in distributions.

@Mae @ariadne There was no need to do it as long as xorg server was being maintained. I remember researching this a couple years ago when we (xmonad) started talking about what to do about Wayland, and yeah it seemed like it'd be easy but also fairly pointless at the time - you'd mainly just get a different compositor, but it'd still be X.

(and yeah we definitely should have tried, but too many excuses not to; I envy people who still haven't completely burned out and still enjoy computers and have the energy and drive to spend their weekends doing cool stuff...)
@pony possibly burnout, overwhelm, depression, something like that? I've been there and came out of it a couple times
@sesivany I was just confused about "as an owner of an old Kindle I'm pretty much forced to buy English books on Amazon"

If KOReader ran there, you'd have more options. Not that there are many - an awful lot of authors only publish on Amazon, but that's not caused by you owning an old Kindle, that's just the shitty world we live in.

I've used DeDRM in the past with books from Google Play and Kobo and maybe a few others. It's about as bad as Amazon *without* an old Kindle - usually broken every time I try to do it. Last time I had some success with libgourou (https://github.com/liskin/dotfiles/commit/57b95d3047d30eb43639ccf241f3bef4e85afe44) but it's been a while.

@sesivany so old that KOReader doesn't run on it? 😲
@mirek I wish it made any economic sense whatsoever to hire folks in London. I'd love to go back to RH but my cost of living here is at least 4 times more than in Brno 🙁
@pony that's a bold stance - get fat, get an SUV, get a license plate mocking the 5 heart rate zones athletes use to analyze their training
@ljs "Cadence lock is a phenomenon where a GPS watch's optical heart rate sensor mistakenly tracks your running cadence (steps per minute) instead of your actual heart rate. This happens because the sensor detects the repetitive motion of your arm swinging as you run, which can be similar to the pulse pattern of your heart, especially when the watch is not fitted snugly or when there are fluctuations in blood flow to the wrist."

Strangely I tend to experience it more with cycling - perhaps because the cadence is very close to the actual HR at the beginning of the workout (90-ish). Or I don't know what's actually happening. Seems strange that I'd be pumping blood to my hands by pedalling hard, but the numbers look like that
@ljs I've heard about cadence lock of the optical HR sensor but never in the context of weight lifting lol
