Ah, very good point! If we all had the dedication for UX like you do, Linux would be so so so perfect.

“Verified” doesn’t mean too much to privacy advocates. There have been incidents. I indeed want to check what my app is going to access before installing it.

As a professor I have to say… the site admin skipped the class that taught them to include always the color bar.

Remote desktops. I think the main complaints are the performance. To me the issue is that with x11vnc you could remote into an existing display, even the login screen. Recent Gnome finally seems to have it for wayland, but afaik KDE still doesn’t have it.

My online activities. I don’t want the attacker to identify them with me. Well, it’s never perfect, but yeah. I don’t really care about personalized ads. m

I’d even prefer them over stupid semi-pornographic ads for the average person. I don’t know other countries but nearly all Japanese websites are full of such semi-porns to the level I wouldn’t screen-share my webbrowser…

Agreed. And I do understand wayland is the future, having done studies around X11 a bit. The problem for long time users like me is that there are still expert apps and use cases that aren’t covered by wayland, at least for now. And because the current benefits of wayland are not obvious they will complain if their distros transition to wayland too soon.

The question now is, when will they remove it?

What’s the advantage of using wayland at the moment?

Conversely, I’m annoyed by anti-AI nontechbros

Company asks me if I use Oracle Java. The problem is, how would I know I’m 100% clean?

If every library dev start doing this we need a horrible amount of extra work to make sure the system is clean…

Why are so many Linux posts about “Why Linux” these days? We already use Linux. Isn’t there news on Linux anymore or what?

Okay I will learn more about self-hosted streaming options and hit spouses on the street.

Great, but wasn’t it the case that majority in the EC supported it? Did it suddenly become a minority position?

All spouses can

Sorry, did you sleep with my spouse or what?

My experience is that nix package configs are tested on NixOS. I used it on other OSes, and I easily encountered misconfigurations and such. The problem is that they are understaffed.

I ended up combining a few package managers due to this, but I’d have preferred to use another manager solely.

Problem is, wife is the one who insists on having TVs and I know she won’t use Jellyfin.

Did we ever agree on AI training with our Reddit comments btw

Fucking hypocritic idiots.

Stupid regulation, honestly. Exact matches are implementable but further than that… Aren’t they basically banning e2ee at this point?

Now I see why Signal will close in EU.

My bad. But that phrasing is super stupid, honestly. What company would want to promise to detect new child sex abuse material? Impossible to avoid false negatives.
