For starters I'd like to see ssh-agent not being replaced with gpg-agent. Those who need it should install it themselves.

I strongly recommend you try adding a center channel to your viewing setup, also a subwoofer if you have the space. I had issues with clarity until I did that.

Do you really expect a downmix of eight channels into two to sound super clear? New content especially comes with more channels, more channels that will get muddled into your two for output. Do you spend the effort of specifically selecting

YouTube very likely has only a 2.0 stereo mix, TV shows and movies are mostly multichannel. Something tells me it's about the source material being a poor fit for your setup.

Do you have a stereo setup? I suspect downmixes to stereo and poor builtin speakers might be heavily contributing to the issue you describe. Anecdotally, I have not encountered this issue after I added a center channel. Nor do I have any is

Not "Film mode", but "Filmmaker mode". The latter is a trademark with specific requirements. Game mode will indeed likely turn off any expensive latency-introducing processing but it's unlikely to provide the best c

Why should a bank be ever able to dictate what the user does with their device legitimately? They can't do so on the web through browsers, that is fine, why are we excusing this on phones? Next up banks will start requiring out MDM enr

That's incredibly primitive. It's about time some countries implemented proper digital IDs that would deprecate garbage approaches like these.

Use the PIV applet for SSH and signing Git commits instead? Git supports S/MIME and SSH can use keys over PKCS#11 basically out-of-box on OSs that don't ship gpg-agent (that just interferes with SmartCard usage in general).

Just a joke that if indeed GPG predates and was not inspired by corporate security theatre then the opposite must be true. That corporate security theatre was inspired by GPG/PGP.

Debian and most Debian derivatives have HTTP-only mirrors. Which I've found absolutely crazy for years. Though nobody seems to care. Maybe it'll change this time around. Though this type of juggling knives is not unique to Linux.

This goes against what Stallman believes in, but there's a need for AGPL with a clause against closed-weight models.

My point was that "lack of investment" doesn't explain the standstill. If that would be the determining factor IRC should not have seen or should not be seeing any progress either. But we actually do have IRCv3 extensions and

I think you're partially correct. People are upset at the time it takes to land even the most basic of fixes. Replies being bright red might be one of the most indicative examples. So while the work towards public sector deployments ha

You say that but has XMPP really improved over the past 10-20 years? The same issues plague it still.

I don't this makes business sense in general. I do however think that there are quite a few bugs that might be triaged as "easy" but if worked on would reveal much more serious problems. Which is why some random selection of
