AFAIK, Mopria doesn’t develop universal printing standards actually. The IPP standard was developed by Printer Working Group of IEEE. Of course, its members are almost same as Mopria. The standard Mopria developed is eSCL, a scanning standard. eSCL has a competitor, WSD, which was developed by Microsoft.

The big round corner is unbelievable ugly… at least in my opinion. If right angle is not popular in modern UI, the small round corner like in URL bar is acceptable to me, but this one is too huge…

Only GIMP can’t cover all usages of Photoshop well. For image editing, GIMP is a good replacement; for painting, Krita is better.

1. IPP Everywhere also include full autodiscovery stuff (mDNS and DNS-SD, of course, Apple call this combination as Bonjour). So I said raster is the only difference.
2. Raster is unimportant in Linux situation because CUPS support both PWG Raster (It’s actually a subset of original CUPS Raster) and Apple Raster. Whichever one your device supports, CUPS will work fine.

In anicent China, the writer and statesman Su Xun (蘇洵，苏洵) wrote a article named “On the Six Fallen States” (六國論, 六国论) about why the six states (韓、趙、魏、楚、燕、齊) were conquered by Qin (秦) during the Warring States period (戰國時代，战国时期)? The following is an excerpt from the relevant paragraph.

今日割五城，明日割十城，然后得一夕安寝。
One day five cities could be ceded, and on the next day, another ten cities could be surrendered just so that a certain person would have a single night of good sleep.
起视四境，而秦兵又至矣。
But in waking up and looking around, Qin troops again were approaching.
然则诸侯之地有限，暴秦之欲无厌，奉之弥繁，侵之愈急。
However, there was a limit to the available land of the lords and callous Qin’s avarice could never be satiated. The more there were giveaways, the more earnest Qin’s aggression would become.
故不战而强弱胜负已判矣。
So, even before going into battle, the odds-on-favorite and the most likely victor had already been decided.
至于颠覆，理固宜然。
As to the ultimate toppling, that was a forgone conclusion.
古人云：“以地事秦，犹抱薪救火，薪不尽，火不灭。”
Ancient people said: “Using land to serve Qin State would be like carrying firewood to put out fire. As long as there’s firewood left, the fire would not be extinguished.”

In ancient, the six states use land to serve Qin state; in modern, the people use money to serve the companies provide subscription. The more people who pay for a subscription, the more power they have over price increases and control over your data.

I think network printer made by big manufacturer recent years should be fine with IPP driverless. They found Printer Working Group of IEEE, this organization maintains IPP standard and IPP Everywhere™ Certification. AirPrint can be treated as Apple version of IPP Everywhere, the difference between them is AirPrint requires Apple Raster but IPP Everywhere requires PWG Raster (and JPEG JFIF file format if color printer).

Iosevka, of course.

and even without it, you’ll get 150mA @ 5V by default out of the USB 3 host upstream and up to 900mA with some pretty basic USB negotiation in a protocol that dates from USB 1.0

That’s wrong. With USB Type-C, you can get the power up to 3A @ 5V with just two 5.1kΩ resistor on CC pins.

Yeah. Because 2.5GbE was invented far later than 10GbE (from 2002 to 2016), and never popular in data center.

NVS 3100M has codename NV50 (Tesla), so you can see the feature matrix.
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/FeatureMatrix.html
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/PowerManagement.html
So you can see almost other things has been done but the power management especially Automatic Reclocking still unfinished. So the feature set and stability should be fine and the performance will be bad.

EDIT: I figured out that for whatever reason, the Flathub version just doesn’t function properly. When I install the tarball from Yubico’s website, the executable DOES work right,

It looks like because the sandbox of Flatpak prevent the program access the unix domain socket of pcscd.

but I can’t seem to figure out how to make the .desktop file install into the programs list.

There is a document on Arch Wiki.

Use a git repo and stow tool. For updating, you only need run git pull (and stow if you create config for a new software). If you modify some config, just git add && git commit && git push.
With this way, you can also record change history of your config.

Oh, my bad. But OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 is also not suitable to 2023. Hope the developers can make driver support Vulkan 1.3.

OpenGL 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 in 2023? It’s so terrible!

The way to support Nvidia 20x 30x 40x series GPU.

Yes unless both my phone and headphone support LE Audio.

Firefox only uses wayland by default in nightly. You can enable it in stable version by setting environment variable MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1.

• GNOME removing Server Side Decoration support in wayland.
• MultiMC author rejecting people build it from source by themselves although MultiMC is under Apache license.

There is a benchmark use https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html

• X11 + Intel card, 1080p 60fps, GPU fully utilized, one third of frames dropped! 4k 60fps is about the same. It turns out that the focus is not on the resolution (the GPU isn’t used to its full capacity anyway), it’s on the frame rate of the video.
• Wayland + Intel cards, 4k 60fps, not even dropping frames, let alone anything else, and the GPU is used for about half of the graphics calculations.

For hardware decode, when I switched to wayland, it was only implemented in Wayland. After they implememted EGL on X11, they implemented hardware decode on X11 as well.

For mixed DPI, applications can implement it use screen information, but not all applictions will do this. But wayland ask them to implement this feature.

It’s reference implementation, but isn’t suitable for daily use. Because it lacks some convenient features. It’s used as a behavior reference when some one develop a new compositor.
