  • Indian here. Redditors say that Indians say this a lot. I’d like to tell you that while Indians do use this sentence, it’s almost always placed only after a long, somewhat-gone-off-tangent-in-some-places conversation that explained everything well.

    Maaaaaaybe it was to convince you without describing tasks, but… mostly, it’s not so.

    Also, I don’t remember hearing it IRL at all. Just felt like I have heard it at least twice in my 18 years of humaning around.











  • I’m unfortunately not aware.

    What I do know is that D-Bus (and not “DBus”) apparently doesn’t work with MIME types directly. I may have been misinformed here - but this is some information I have received.

    Essentially, the data sent cannot be assigned a type or format.

    On the web, all data sent by a server has a MIME type (“text/html”, “image/png”, “video/mp4”).

    Android’s system for inter-process (“running program”) communication, intents, does include.
    …Even Windows does, with its whatever complicated APIs.
    D-Bus doesn’t, so Tuxes too, don’t. …Yet.

    D-Bus is apparently also not secure enough. Probably not as bad as X11, but not good enough.

    So far, KDE and GNOME have had their own " wrapper" systems to allow using D-Bus through a layer of their code to cover little inconveniences like this.
