Sadly, even interfaces that do support keyboard navigation tend to implement it poorly. Microsoft Office is probably the gold standard here, almost everything can be navigated using mnemonics, all keypresses are buffered and the user seldom

Tech debt, primarily. Flatpak is designed to be able to package apps not designed with it in mind. If neither compatibility nor resources are of concern then integrating true Mandatory Access Control into both the UX and the entire tech sta

Source uses licenced middleware such as Havok so SDKs are likely all we're going to get officially. Source 2 might be a different story if HL3 releases one day since Valve replaced audio and physics with in-house technologies.

It's part of "What's been keeping Linux from having good UX up to this point?" Making good products means lots and lots of drudgery, just for fun volunteers aren't going to touch that, and the stereotypical FOSS con

At best it'll take over Steam hardware survey as the standard spec of PC gaming. I can't see anyone other than enthusiasts buying it over a normal console or Windows laptop.

It's likely allowed in some miscellaneous permissions file from a bygone era. The lines are probably over a decade old now.

Most works GNOME did are somewhat invisible to users. GNOME is the main driving force behind immutable OS and containerised sandboxed apps, both are intended to make the OS maintain itself and simplify software management to single/zer

If you ban IPsec ESP people will start using WireGuard on random ports. If you ban WireGuard using DPI people will start using SSL VPNs. If you ban SSL you ban the entire internet.

Wayland is a bunch of amateurs trying to be strict and secure and the end result is everyone opening their own security holes to make it usable. It's working now, mostly. KDE got some kind of video bridge recently which is an insane wo

It might be the year of Linux gaming systems. The desktop went from terrible to bad and is still at least a decade behind unless some organisation invests dozens of millions and gets themselves an actual professional dev team.

Right now AMD is the better choice due to support from Valve. It might change in the future due to Red Hat's effort.

On mobile the map prevents the user from scrolling down, you need to drag the padding area instead. Google maps embed doesn't have this issue as it requires two fingers to pan.

To solve the issue from the source, you need to enforce security through means like mandatory access control. The problem is that existing desktop and server systems are too mature for that to be practical, you'll have to rework almost

In many ways non mobile computers are very much still stuck in 1999. Android is significantly more secure than other Linux systems because it's much younger and had the chance to integrate mandatory access control into the entire stack

What truly made Wii/DS and Wii U/3DS era Nintendo OSes great are the built in games and mechanics that extend into other games as well. Loved collecting houses in ACNL and receiving Wii Mails from a Toad.

Whether a longer or shorter cache TTL is considered a downgrade depends on the context, so the title is ambiguous to laymen.

Nintendo uses web UI a lot. The Switch eShop is notoriously a web app running on WebKit without JIT. The Action Guide in Super Mario Odyssey is web despite everything else being native.

NAT also solves the dynamic address issue. With GUA I need to deal with both dynamic prefix and randomised suffix that can be changed by seemingly unrelated things when opening ports to the internet.

From my understanding the goal is to prevent pirates and hackers from modifying the game's binary. I have no idea why would anyone want to do that on Nintendo Switch though, Switch 1 doesn't have any headroom and Switch 2 OS secur
