Here are a few ways off the top of my head that don't require exploiting Wayland or gaining access to the `input` group (or whatever group owns the /dev/input/* events), using nothing more than a local shell under your u

Just because you don't see the politics at work doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. Thanks for proving my point about /r/linuxmasterrace, btw.

Except, I've seen this same exact song and dance routine played out already with systemd. Some RedHat developers make a thing no one wants to use, so they tightly couple many orthogonal concerns into one giant hairball, and they go on

Yes, I do. I very much believe that the Wayland architectural decisions are motivated by non-technical reasons (look at who pays them, and who stands to benefit by controlling the majority of commits across the whole fd.o stack).

It's security theater. If I can run a process on your machine under your user account, you can bet I can keylog you, X11 or no.

Exactly! It astonishes me that Wayland folks think that replacing the whole graphics stack is somehow easier than using an X extension that already exists. Really speaks to the profound immaturity of the project.

Is it open-source yet? I can't seem to find any source code anywhere.

> A hard fork in a decentralized cryptocurrency is democratic, users chose which of the 2 new chains assets' they want to keep. Show us the votes, then. Did a majority of miners and/or coinholders vote to hard-fork?

If a majority of miners wanted, they could block those BTC from moving.

Oh they can and will sell some , and I never claimed otherwise. My point is that they won't sell enough that the buyer(s)' token production rate through staking will exceed their own.

Who cares what Satoshi wanted? He/she/they do not control the system.

It doesn't, obviously. But that's not what you were asking.

If the choice is between having my country's wealth destroyed by military invasion, versus being destroyed by someone mining blocks somewhere, I'd take the latter. You asked, not me.

Just do the following: * Implement a universal carbon tax. Make CO2-based mining unprofitable. * Require KYC/AML checks and tax reporting from all exchanges, and prosecute/block those that don't. Wholesale banning cryptocurre

I'd rather that happen to my country's wealth than have it bombed out of existence.

The one thing that stops me from getting a Librem 14 is the utterly hateful decision to have a tiny right-shift key to the right of the up arrow. Like seriously wtf Purism?

> Correct Bear with me here, but I strongly suspect that this is not the case. Because PoS doesn't need miners, it seems the system can transition to PoS at any time and there's nothing miners can do to stop it. So unless the

The EVM is TC in that you cannot determine if a snippet of code will halt, given sufficient gas. EVM code is undecidable, whereas Bitcoin script is not.

In Bitcoin decisions are made on the principle of one CPU, one vote. Rules only change with overwhelming hash power. Developers take a back seat. In Ethereum, developers run the show. They decide what gets pushed to miners via the All Cor
