Not that I disagree with Alexander here, but sometimes it feels like I'm taking crazy pills - this kind of integrated model has been WHO standard for over twenty years.

Thanks a lot for the input, that's quite enlightening - seems like I have been browsing everything but the "Platform" target... Puh, yeah, I see what you mean, much the stuff in [2] and [3] is rather...bespoke, especially com

That's where a desk mount monitor arm comes in. Even a high-end model capable to hold those 49" 32:9 monsters will likely be significantly cheaper than a custom desk.

We're still talking about Linux, are we? Snark aside, it's still orthogonal to my question. I wasn't questioning whether it should be done centralized, but why it's supposed to be part of the display server protocol&#x2F

But why are management and handling of language-dependent input methods supposed to be in Xorg? What happened to separation of concerns? "Do one thing and do it well"?

Maybe not exactly what you had in mind (sounds more like a street view-like timeline of changes, if I understand you correctly), but https://maps.arcanum.com/ has a great selection of historical maps.

Yeah, that's one of the primary characteristics I tend to use as well - as someone ages ago on some forum put it: avatar-mediated action vs player-mediated action.

"playing different roles" is kind of nebulous, though - and especially historically, it doesn't really mesh with what has been considered an RPG. Depending on your strictness of definition, quite a bit more than "a fe

I agree that one should refrain from ever using "guarantee correctness" in context of type systems outside of Coq & co. But "extremely basic properties" is IMO similarly exaggerating in the other direction. Take the

Historically, true, but nowadays it's pretty much standard for all the big OS. Being able to get exclusive access/bypass the system via certain means (ASIO would be another) doesn't make it go away.

We will never know how it would have played out (and yeah, there were no small amounts of stupid things beforehand), but the actual collapse was induced by pouring gasoline on the burning platform.

Well, as long as Google doesn't do something similarly stupid (like, say, announcing discontinuation of their search and suite or whatever and that they will offer a great new Bing/O365 integration experience in a year), they will

Here's the Austrian: https://teletext.orf.at/ And it might be tempting to brush this off as just an anachronism to amuse ourselves with, but IMO this undervalues it quite a bit. For example, the Austrian teletext still

The site also shows how simple it could be, though - it respects the DNT flag: no cookie banner, no tracking in this case.

Wow. I'm not certain whether you're just being facetious, but you...probably shouldn't accuse others of putting words into Chesterton's mouth. You're suffocating him with what you've stuffed in there.
