I think Wayland should have been approached differently in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Because Wayland is in active development. wdisplays and wlr-randr use wlr-output-management-unstable-v1. Why should GNOME and Plasma implement an unstable protocol for a use case they support out of the box?

I find it hard to understand what I'm supposed to address from your monologue, but I'll go with one thing that stuck out to me.

What does this have to do with app developers? GNOME, Plasma, Wlroots, and Smithay use the Wayland protocol. If app frameworks use the Wayland protocol, then they're compatible with GNOME, Plasma, Wlroots, and Smithay. Apps won't work if GNOME, Plasma, Wlroots, and Smithay were compositors with their own, separate, incompatible protocol. Or the Wayland protocol in that hypothetical world is so poor that Wayland compositors deviate so much from each other that app frameworks must support each compositor individually.

Flatpak permission system also. Flatseal ftw.

They don't break accessibility. Electron fares better in accessibility than some native app frameworks.

The War Thunder forum has once again been used to share restricted plane documentation - this time about the F-117 Nighthawk in c/[email protected]

They should learn to link to unclassified but not free to distribute manuals instead of posting them directly on the forum.

Unity plan pricing and packaging updates in c/[email protected]

No, it's the former EA CEO doing EA things in Unity. The one that called developers stupid for not using microtransactions.

Godot also has first-class Linux support, and built a solid foundation that allows for Wayland support in the future. Developing Unity games on Linux has been broken for a while now.

Vendors also re-use MAC addresses to cheap out on costs.

What feature/utility/app are you surprised is not installed by default in Linux distributions? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

You've never used a minimal Linux distro for cloud servers then. Some don't ship any text editors. Others ship only nano. Part of the reason why I think learn vim because vi(m) is everywhere argument is retarded. It's factually incorrect.

Craziest/most "exotic" devices able to run Linux? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Windows ones are fun. I especially love it when the McDonald's terminal bug checks, and safe boots into a desktop. Or when the train station terminal app crashes, and an employee restarts the app remotely. Or that time when someone hacked into terminals at a particular train station, and played porn. Some people weren't amused.
