Exactly this. Somehow the wayland evangelists don't seem to understand that it's not acceptable that something that was trivial to do and reliable for decades is suddenly buggy and broken half the time. I RESOLVED IT by using

Agreed. perhaps 1% of the time I've asked an LLM to write code for me, has it given me something useful and not taken more time than just writing the thing myself. It has happened, but those instances are vastly outnumbered by it s

Ha! Not just "the next PR", in my experience about 30% of the time you tell it "hey this slop you gave me is horribly broken because <reason>", and it says "you're absolutely right! I totally 100% underst

Dovecot + postfix + spamassassin for mail. radicale for CalDAV/CardDAV (calendar and contacts). Squirrelmail for webmail used to be ok (though I haven't used it in a long time). Or there's an embarrassment of riches out there

I agree that this is shitty, but my first question is "why are you using gmail in 2025 if you don't want all your data slurped?"

It's only a lost cause if you decide to let it be. Plain text email continues to work just fine for me every day.

Yep! I've been known to type it occasionally, 23 years after I switched my primary pc to Linux, and at least 15 years after my last windows machine.

by antisol 1y ago
Indeed. I've seen tons of things that specifically require nvidia and support nothing else - more and more in the last couple of years. Some proprietary games don't support anything but the nvidia proprietary drivers on Linux.

lol. I think you need to jump onto the repos for about 500 ML frameworks and tell them that the only hardware they support well "isn't worth the money". At this point I think you're just arguing in bad faith and you have
