I hope she's not sent to a death camp before a court have a chance to say anything, because that's also a thing that can happen.

The "private" chatroom from a while ago seems to indicate that, indeed, they believe their own shit. It would be worrying to have these people in position of great power, wouldn't it?

vim can't use the kde/wayland clipboard to copy/past properly, you have to script it through something. I've read it's related to non foreground app not being able to manipulate the clipboard or something close to that, which a CLI app will never be.

There are "solutions", mostly overriding vim behavior to write/read from that dedicated program, though. It's not a show stopper, but not every software allow this kind of flexibility.

Still won't handle popup menu correctly, still won't allow copy/paste with CLI programs without using an extra, implementation-specific, piece of software, still won't allow some window to correctly detect their position.

Wayland might be interesting, but between blind haters and blind supporters, it's really annoying. Forcing people to switch while some basic features are "mostly working" is not helping.

I get the joke, but I'm getting tired of these very, very old memes being reposted ad-nauseam when they're so outdated. I did not have to open the xorg.conf file for at least a decade, probably more. It was a very annoying thing to do, yes, but hasn't been an issue for a lot of install in forever.

There's a resurgence of these "but it's very weird/difficult/annoying" outdated memes these last few weeks on a lot of websites, and at this point I'm wondering if it's just people discovering them or just some people bashing linux systems based on their experience from the last century.

The cases we hear about? Sure. The others… who knows how many cases happened without media attention for each ones that gets some attention.

Jack Dorsey hasn't been around for a long time.

Sounds like an upside.

something buzzing on my wrist all the time would drive me batty

It's the same when it's in your pocket. I'd say the issue is not that it buzz all the time on your wrist, but that it buzz all the time. I disabled most notifications, except for a selection of people and apps. When I get a notification, it is usually important enough that I should check it. Everything else (including non-emergency work stuff) is checked on my own accord, when I feel like it.

Having the notifications pop on my wrist, with that system, does not feel like a shackle more than a phone constantly turning its screen on to tell you you have unread whatever.

Is it a crisis when it's been that way from before the beginning.

It's interesting. As "regular" people, years ago, we already had this mindset of only having disposable electronics to visit the US, and the situation wasn't as dire as today. I wonder how much of this is actual news.

So, someone plastering boobs on his truck is a missile target, but a musky orange tanking the world economy for a pump and dump isn't?

Disable automatic updates

Unless your offline don't do that. Even on windows that's the worst advice one can give.

Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that's the destroying left sickos.

You know, being neutral and all that.

the existence of the thing remains unchanged

I fear they're menacing the existence of people down the line, so there's that.

Which is the biggest joke, them starting a "research" effort, already knowing the outcome, or knowing when it will be completed ahead of time?

Real hetero cis men only have sex with other real hetero cis men, preferably more than one at a time, to avoid lowering their male-ness. That's the only way to keep our society alive, obviously.

Pfffrt. These jokers are such idiots.

Then you missed the point that what you think does not have to be universal when it comes to reading material or movies.

Hardware support is not really the province of distro, to me. Which makes them even more ridiculous.

They started it by pretending to want to connect with artists.
