Xdotool is just one of many tools for automation on x11, it's not part of xorg. There's also Xautomation, AutoKey and others. What's the difference? There is absolutly none. Where is there more fragmentation? I'm not ref

by boudin 5y ago
That's just bad faith now, your definition of fragmentation does not match the dictionary one.

I get your confusion, there is one screenshot API that abstract the compositor but it lies in xdg-desktop: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/master/da... The portal for xdg-desktop takes

None of those comments have an actual example. I still have no idea what you complain about, there's really not much difference between using gnome on wayland and gnome on X11 or Sway and I3. In the wayland counterparts though some of

The benefits of Wayland are: - Much better graphical stack (no more tearing, weird graphical glitches, fractional scaling support without blurring for Wayland native apps) - Much improved security (on x11, any app has access to all your inp

What is flawed? The difficulty arise from the complexity of the problems to solve. In a x11 world, the assumption is that everything that a user runs is fully trusted, any software has access all the inputs, all the audio, everything that i

In Wayland the data of the clipboard stays in the app where it was "added" to the clipboard and only transit between the application where it was copied to the app where it is pasted when pasted. I think the issue was at this tran

Absolutly not, Amazon is a horrible shop, it's full of random crap, terrible ui, full of deceptive practices to try to get you buy some stuff like prime or whatever. When searching for something, half of the search result is always sup

That's good to know. I never thought about exchange/365, that's a really good point.

Which other major provider uses this list? Uceprotect is attempting to racket me from time to time. While I'm blocked i try different providers to guess the ones using this, I only found Hotmail blocking me.
281.
by boudin 5y ago
UCEPROTECT is a scam. Blocking innocent people and asking them for money has nothing to do with security. The good thing is that most email servers do not use it because it's just bad. The bad thing is that Hotmail uses it (or at least

Screen recording and sharing works as well and it has been for a while.

Nvidia just fixed its driver this year, and it's still not in great shape. You can only blame Nvidia for that. We have quite different experiences I guess. On my side I just see that the recurring graphical issues that I had with X11 a

Screenshots works in Sway, it has been there for years. Tray icons as well (it depends of the bar you use though, but it works with the included bar swaybar and waybar). you can use grim + slurp for screenshots https://github.com

Debian is definitely not a good distribution to test Wayland in its current state. A lot of packages are quite a few stable version behind, and the whole Wayland ecosystem is moving really quickly (for example, Gnome 3.38 instead of Gnome 4

No, where did I say that? Having clear regulation and forbid this kind of practice that apply to everybody, not just the poor. A tax would not solve anything, it would just give a free pass to the wealthier part of the world to pollute and

by boudin 5y ago
I don't think this kind of solution works to be honest. This creates a right to pollute or generate waste more than focusing on solving the original problem.

I do use Lineage base OSes and I'm really thanksfull to its contributors allowing me to extend the life of my devices for years, but there is still a tradeoff in term of security, the firmware blobs which are closed source cannot be up

I really hope there would be some regulations enforcing a decade of software support, not just for the operating system but also to provide drivers for hardware. After that, having to continue providing support or provide the source code wi

Ubuntu LTS is on x11, not wayland. So pipewire is irrelevant here. Pipewire and xdg-desktop are fairly new but not changing every day at all, that's just pure lies. Now that's it's supported by almost all software but zoom, i

It was definitely available in distros like arch and gentoo. Fedora as well when then switched to wayland by default. More conservative distro might not have included it though, but they are on X11 by default so it's not needed in the

Pipewire has been there for more than that, I've been using it for a few years now. You might be mistaken with the audio part of it (that replaces Pulseaudio and Jack).

by boudin 5y ago
No, Pipewire and xdg-desktop have been there for ~3 years. OBS supported Wayland for ~2 years (maybe more, but I've been using it for ~2 years), but you had to install a third party plugin for it, and the app itself was running in Xway

You mean 3 years ago? It is a while. Definitely enough, lot of software implemented it in the meantime. Zoom is actually the only one I know that didn't LTS distribution before that are on X11, so this discussion doesn't even appl

We're not talking about supporting things years ago though, we're talking about supporting it now which is a few years after, when it's been stable and supported across the whole ecosystem for a quite a while. That's the

Most people uses intel igpus no? There's a good nvidia population but it's not the majority, especially in a work environment. The good news is that Nvidia has finally decided to fix its drivers, it's still beta though.

by boudin 5y ago
At the same time, it's because they don't care much. I'm quite sure that if Microsoft or Apple would change the way screen-sharing works between version of their OS, Zoom wouldn't wait 2 years to look at it. I understand
