Wayland is the new protocol and will be the one that everything uses in the long run

If Wayland works for you, then that’s great, don’t use X11

The main reason you’d want to use X11 these days is for compatibility. But that’s getting less and less of a concern as time goes on

Yeah lmao, that’s the worst possible argument he could give I think

“Have you forgotten your economics class?” And then compared public research to a private newspaper

Like, lmao

It’s always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings

Reddit let trumps subreddit stay up for years, not to mention all the other vile and bigoted places

I do not put much faith in that reddit actually cares about homophobia

And calls for violence has always been selective. Has reddit ever banned anyone for supporting a state to kill people? For example, supporting death penalty, supporting cops shooting people, supporting Ukraine/Russia to kill Russians/Ukrainians, or supporting Israel killing Palestinians?

The whole subject of “calls for violence” has always been biased, because we see state actors being violent as justifiable, but non-state actors as not, so it’s not right to say they don’t support calls for violence, they only don’t support selective ones that they are not entirely clear about. They don’t support the people

…now the question is do we want to implement a command for that

I have like the exact opposite issue. I’ve used windows for most of my life but it’s so so much harder to actually fix issues in windows compared to Linux

And for me, the big reason for this is because windows is a black box, Linux is not. You are always able to dig however deep you’d like in Linux compared to windows. Now, that might not be relevant for a layperson directly, but what it does mean is that someone else can understand the system component intimately and help you.

Meanwhile on windows the amount of “run this command that we auto-post to every issue report that doesn’t work” I’ve seen is ridiculous, and it never solved the problem. And then I try to dig into how to actually solve it, and really struggle so much more.

Also, Microsoft just sucks as a company. Recently I’ve wanted to clone a windows installation to an external drive. Should work fine, right? I could easily get that to work for Linux, and any issue that popped up I could fix. So, tried to use clonezilla, didn’t work. Ok fine, let me reinstall. Turns out Microsoft dropped support for windows on an external drive. Well that’s garbage and dumb, as I’ve used this to my benefit in the past. But turns out, people say it still actually works, you just need to use a third party tool. Which doesn’t inspire confidence, but whatever

And it did work in the end, but it took me many many hours of extra work of trying to figure out what the problem was, giving up, then looking for more information on alternate solutions, then finally finding something that worked, albeit with more work on my part

But if it was a Linux installation I’d have been finished in an hour probably, because I expect that cloning a drive would work without much issue there

I don’t think it would be worth it, as the thermal conduction would be far too low to be useful

However, it would be a useful ability in extreme environments, such as space or Antarctica or something like that. So your chances of becoming an astronaut would massively increase.

i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats.

I can’t even get them to use mastodon or Lemmy, they’re not gonna go to an alternative discord

Okay, great, now convince 30+ other people I chat with on the service

Yes I know it sucks and will just keep on enshittifying, but it’s not so much as it being a replaceable social media for me, as it is a primary way for me to keep in contact with partners, friends, finding out about and participating in arrangements, and meeting new people in my local area. Stopping using discord is effectively cutting myself off from the local communities

Everyone in my social circle uses it, and will keep on using it. Maybe once some breaking point is reached due to ever increasing enshittification people will start being interested in alternatives, but we’re far from that point still

I do

I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible

A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency

Browser zero days are some of the most valuable exploits in existence, so I highly doubt it would happen in practice

Why would it never be easy? There’s no fundamental reason for why it can’t work as well as on windows, or any other operating system

Ok but this is very simple. Everyone can set up something like this using home assistant and a few sensors connected up to it

Maybe you just don’t like MOBAs, to me it’s one of the most promising upcoming pvp games, but I am someone who likes MOBAs and shooters

Maybe the Dems will finally learn that listening to their base helps

I’ve had bitcoin transactions that literally took several days to process. This was also using an average fee. The more people using bitcoin, especially to handle common every-day transactions, the worse this problem would get.

Fusion is likely the end-game power gen tech for humanity, assuming no new physics (and excluding Dyson structures). For the long term, it likely will be the most useful way of generating mass amounts of electricity you can get, and access to more energy enables more possibilities of all sorts of things, enabling even things that are extremely impractical today due to their energy needs

For example, carbon capture becomes a possibility, and stuff like mass desalination. And then you could, in theory, go even more extreme with stuff like terraforming mars at human timescales, with enough energy. Of course this depends how practical and efficient fusion reactors actually would be, but with enough energy you can do so so much

Even if it was just a “small thing”, how many “small things” that are all individually excusable has Microsoft added now? When would it be too much?
