I am aware. The complete rhetorical question was: > "why would anyone bet on X.org when wayland has been ok for a decade now?" Valve saw problems with the Wayland protocol evolution process. Their solution was to build on top

Am I missing something? I don't see where it's mentioned that Valve is exhuming the corpse of X.Org.

This seems like a worldview borne from an era where the PC was _the_ definitive, ubiquitous computing device of choice for the layperson. These days, that crown is taken by the smartphone. If you need a PC in 2025, you're probably a f

To me the value prospect of Proton falls down even before that - how can e-mail ever be a secure medium of communication if only one side of the conversation is secure, given how ubiquitous Google and Outlook are in the space?

Tildes has replaced HN and Reddit as the site I default to for news aggregation. I do feel like it is a bit light on the technology/programming front, otherwise it has a well-rounded mix of interesting topics. I feel like its decision

I did my fair share of DE hopping in my younger days, but now when I use the Linux desktop in anger I've found myself returning to GNOME. It's the only desktop environment on Linux that actually feels like an opinionated, cohesiv

Any social media site that delegates moderation responsibilities to its users will eventually run into these sorts of problems. At a certain scale, you're almost guaranteed to get moderation via populism simply because the friction for

This is something that most people engaged in internet discourse could learn as well. It's often not productive to write a long response to a pithy sound-byte argument. Not only is that losing the engagement economy, but onlookers to

I think most people have lost their minds over the hypocrisy. For decades people have been raked over the coals for piracy, but now suddenly piracy is okay if your name is Facebook and you're building an AI model. Either force AI comp

I feel like the lack of marketing push is for two reasons. One is that it feels like Odin simply doesn't desire the kind of attention the other two languages have. Two is...I can't speak for Rust, but I feel like Zig punches wel

I'm not trying to downplay the inordinate amount of media coverage transfolk are getting. However, effective propaganda needs an audience willing to listen and accept the things they're being told. I don't think that propaga

Linux does support Secure Boot, and I believe Red Hat offers RHEL with signed bootloaders, kernels and kernel modules. However, I don't know how secure the secure boot environment is in practice, and I'm pretty sure Secure Boot s
