Regions give manual tiling possibility though, which is actually how I prefer it. I'm testing a new patch that someone recently did to support focus based on region, which is nifty.

labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.

There are a bunch of environment variables that I set this time though, which may have contributed to a better experience this time.

You need training material for negative prompts too.

If I were a new user, I'd consider using such a tool. I guess I'll see myself out. ;-)

That indeed changes things, potentially introducing much more bias. What motivation would somebody have to install this tool and run it? Is it being marketed/advertised somehow? How, where, and to whom? :-P

People who voluntarily report usage are more likely to be new users, experimenting with Linux distributions etc. Greybeards like me will check out new stuff every few months or years, and won't shout about it one way or another. We'll probably not send statistics when prompted, either.

PFS matters where a party hasn't already been compromised. Not so hard.

Read up on perfect forward secrecy and TLS.

And yes, a jurisdiction could compel them to break their security, depending on laws and ability to threaten.

IF TLS is used AND configured optimally on both ends, THEN the in transit message contents should be very secure, in that transient session keys were used.

I would be interested to know how often those two preconditions hold true though.

Of course, this is only one small link in the chain. There aint no magic bullet.

Yawn. I guess everyone who doesn't tow the party line and join the two minutes hate is censored here. My commentary was reasoned and appropriate to the comic.
