I didn't realize zswap also uses in-memory compression. It might be a combination of poor naming and zram being continuously popular.

Could it be that Germany was the only nation willing to help Finland fight the Soviets?

From Wikipedia

> Interim peace > ... > Defensive arrangements were attempted with Sweden and the United Kingdom, but the political and military situation in the context of the Second World War rendered these efforts fruitless. Finland then turned to Nazi Germany for military aid.

Nobody's going to buy monitors where they need fractional scaling or multiple monitors with mixed DPI if they know it's broken.

You have a year to open and comment on Wayland bugs for them to get fixed

Imagemagick also does it in the terminal. Chances are about as good as ffmpeg that you have it installed already

Last time I checked (~half a year ago) Garage didn't have a bunch of s3 features like object versioning and locking. Does RustFS have a list of s3 features they support?

IIRC Windows still uses the sRGB curve for tone mapping of SDR content in HDR, so you have to toggle it on and off all the time.

KDE Wayland went the better route and uses Gamma 2.2

Most laptops have included Windows 10 or 11 licenses, which are valid for this use

Do you have a source for that? I only know this [1] site laying out distribution of Steam keys

You're even allowed to sell your game cheaper on other platforms (not Steam keys, separate keys for those platforms) so by all means charge the 30% more on Steam if you need to.

Most of the issues with the database are old sins from Emby. With 10.11 the Jellyfin team finally managed to clean up that mess so they can move forward with a clean implementation. Their blog post on moving to EFCore [1] and version 10.11 release post [2] have more details.

Your comment is missing how the project initially presented itself and the main dev being an anti-vaxxer certainly puts those words into a bad context.
