@kit perfect

@kit yeah it takes kind of a long time to reach Peak Martok unfortunately. j.g. hertzler is just too good

@kit worf is the harbinger of general martok and more klingon episodes <3

@kit they say they're running sailfish on a nexus

@kit i can ask for the details if you want

@kit my pet is running some non-android kernel on their phone which looks really really nice but i doubt that i'm enough of a phone or linux wizard to pull that off

@kit this is death too, i have a droid inc one that i love and want to use but cyanogenmod i do not love and want to use

@kit the more i think about what's going on in my laptop the less it makes sense lol

my best guess is that it's like an FPGAish that lives between my CPU and GPU and turns it on and off to save power along slightly stranger lines than simply "is running a program that supports hw accel"

@kit the funky new power efficiency co-processor getup that nvidia and intel slapped together for my laptop has absolutely no driver support, and EFI/UEFI stuff also increases the asspain for even putting a linux kernel on there in the first place. linux on laptops has always been bad but it's currently getting worse unless you have a mainline (for linux core users e.g. thinkpads) laptop

@kit absolutely cannot wait for the day when low power screen technology becomes ubiquitous myself, and at the same time the more power efficient laptops become the less fun or useful it is to run linux on them :'(

@kit yeah i've definitely seen that with the advent of e.g. chromebooks, although i feel like it's an evolutionary cul-de-sac unless someone does some drastic paradigm shift within web browsers overall

and now it feels like the only thing driving computer hardware to be better is games, the people who make them, the film industry, and like. scientific research/medicine. big yet esoteric stuff

@kit is it just me or has computer hardware gotten like, pretty stagnant in recent years?

also lol yeah i wanted to mention *nix but i didn't want to be one of those people yfm

@kit mine blessedly does have this key combo but i hear ya. MS hates letting users have control
