Didn't necessarily say they is something wrong with them :) Though in this specific case the ones I skimmed did not look very useful, and in general they are organized quite differently than FOSS projects usually organize their code, w

The jump from JS to the microsoft world is always hard. Hell, jumping from anywhere into microsoft environments has to be hard. No surprise that it was a difficult transition if that wasn't in your background so far. The docs alone wil

From my experience this is wrong. If you set a transparent background in wxwidgets/gtk it will show you a grey background. And gtk3 even removed the ability to query the x background pixmap. So if there is better support for this at an

Fake transparency is still a thing, for desktops without compositor. Not only in terminals, but also in docks.

VW might actually make this move because of regulatory pressure. There was a recent decision of not allowing the use of Tesla's touch screens in Germany [0]. So if VW had continued with their touchscreen-only design they might have got

When Pipes died I saw all the comments and wondered why no one built a successor project. When after a few years that still hadn't happened, and after an idea on how to get it to work had popped into my head, I built it myself: https:

According to https://www.justice.gov/archives/atr/competition-and-monopol... it does not have to be about adjacent markets. Maintaining a monopoly alone can be illegal, depending on the means. Blocking all other m

You are correct. I indeed remembered that not even the ambassador was summoned, but according to https://www.dw.com/de/nsa-sp%C3%A4hangriff-us-botschafter-ei... at least that did happen.

Why do you think that? Germany didn't even protest when it was revealed that the USA spied on the phone of chancellor Merkel, the BND sent siphoned german internet traffic to the NSA in an act of treason, and flight passenger data is s

It's not FUD, but simple facts. The project accepted that behavior for years - for me that's something I want to know before using software. Similar as to why one picks FreshRSS and not tt-rss.

Behavior akin to a paranoid delusion. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4To-F6W1NT0 . The developer is gone, so no need to avoid the project completely, but CalyxOS is an interesting alternative anyway.

CalyxOS is a ROM with a similar focus and does support some more phones, including the FP4 and with the FP5 marked as upcoming, see the device list on https://calyxos.org/ . It is the more reasonable choice to GrapheneOS any

Oh, that's a close example I didn't think about at all. Maybe! Though I'm not sure what makes this subsidiary an inherently better structure?

Oh, you are not wrong. It's perfectly valid to also blame Gnome and Ubuntu for this. The Wayland session should not have been the default in either project before such a basic functionality was working. Still, the result is the same: I

To be fair, I actually ran a system recently (Surface Tablet with integrated intel graphics) where the screen tearing on X just wasn't solvable. Neither with settings in the xorg.conf nor with a compositor could I get Youtube videos to

To the section about lack of features, highlighting screen sharing: I completely ran into this and it soured me on Wayland even more (than my experience with Pulseaudio did before for big desktop changes). On an upgrade, Ubuntu switched to

I can only support you there. Imho, it's fair to see diversity efforts as highly problematic since they lead to discrimination, but on the other hand, what women have to endure in academia is astonishing. One example from someone near

Thanks for the link! Completely unacceptable explanation to me, but at least there is a writeup of their position.

That's correct, their earphones were released first though and do not. My issue is more with the completely unnecessary and never explained by the project removal of the headphone jack. Well, and that the timing was pretty obvious prof

Big words for a company that got rid of the headphone jack in their phones the moment they had bluetooth earphones to sell, without a user-replaceable battery that is.

I'd back you up there, and maybe go one step further: Blogs are the worst use case for a ssg and you should focus on writing first. It's the articles that make or break a blog, and you might actually want the comforts of a dynamic

I ran into problems with that on the server back then, but always only some edge cases - so that might work mostly now. But mentioning games was no accident - a slow translation layer won't cut it for them, and you can't recompile

Will we have a working ARM Windows version next year? A translation layer in Windows and Linux to run x86 apps, like games? If not, and I think we won't, then the Qualcomm chip won't be a relevant alternative to the Ryzen processo

The evoluent mouse often pop up in this space, quite expensive. Not sure they are worth the price. I had a different r-go mouse in for a small test, felt OK, but not better then the cherry. The Logitech MX Vertical should be the mainstream

There are wireless vertical mice, e.g. the cherry MW 4500, cheap enough to just test it. I really like that model, it comes with a dongle (so likely better latency than if it used Bluetooth) and uses regular batteries, so it can be powered

Some games do or did specifically block proton. Roblox was one example. But it is some, not many, a usually widely critized exception. Linux and the steam deck specifically are not regularly specifaclly blocked - why would they do that? It
