I have my Linux box running my TV and it works great, but I'd like the ability to treat my Chromecast as a desktop window for streaming without switching inputs, multitasking etc. I have an HDMI capture card that works great with a Switch, but the Chromecast detects it's not HDCP (DRM) compliant so it won't work. Is there a way to outsmart that detection with software or hardware?

I've heard some knock off hardware confuses it enough to work but it seems like the info is old and I'd rather not roll the dice on hardware that's otherwise garbage...

I wonder how many in game days a speedrun would be while still destroying the Caretaker's Array? I want to dunk on Janeway's time to the alpha quadrant... Unless I have to run my engines on nucleogenic aliens like the Equinox.

Seriously. I want a personal HUD for navigation and reminders that also corrects my vision (like normal glasses), not to become a walking surveillance device / info mine.

I don't think AOC has that baggage. Democratic voters want someone that isn't a corpo-centrist running like being not-Trump is enough. Every argument that can be made against AOC could have been made against Obama in 2006 too, but he had a message that resonated and won. AOC could be in a good position to do something similar. I'd sure vote for her, even if she's become more mainstream she's still miles ahead of every other likely candidate.

I agree the Metron connection didn't need to be made so explicit. Would've been better if it was if-you-know-you-know about the lights, but I guess that would be unsatisfying to anyone unlikely to wiki things after the fact.

Anyway, also agree this was a great episode regardless. Couldn't help tear up when the Gorn died, which is not where I expected to be today.

I don't really care what color they are when they are long as your palm and flying at your face.

Agreed. It's one thing if it's climate change or something where we at least need to put a plan out there even if there's zero chance of it happening, but for basic common sense stuff like this don't bother. If we ever get back to trying to make average American lives better with the government, this is low hanging fruit.

This is about Linux kernel driver maintainership... It's all open source.

Yeah, they all are, even though they probably would have been fun. I'd watch Bakula as Archer again too, I just think there's zero percent chance it would be greenlit.

I can't wait to put this on my shelf next to Enterprise S5-S7, Captain Worf, and Star Trek: Legacy.

Glad you're still with us, hope you're doing well, that crash sounds awful.

Yes. It has basically the same issue that any compatibility layer is going to have. It will either faithfully reproduce X11 so well it will bring all of the nonsense Wayland was meant to do a way with (everything not directly related to displaying graphics, like font and geometry rendering from the '80s, network transparency, insecure event handling) OR it will attempt to get a reasonable subset working for modern X apps and it won't be compatible with dusty old binaries and X forwarding etc.

Right now it looks like a shim for Xwayland so it's the first one, but as it matures we'll see.
