The page certainly isn't black for me. Its QNX's usual marketing fluff about being embedded in a wide range of cars.

Easier yet - it can be controlled in software. Turn it up, down, off. No extra software required - uses the standard APIs.

Parts of AT-SPI are impossible to implement under Wayland. > Wayland has no concept of global coordinates or global key bindings. The protocol itself is designed around atomicity which is a nice concept, but is fundamentally in conflict

The standard was Extended Window Manager Hints [0]. Above X11, implemented by GTK and everyone else. Right. However... Wayland makes it impossible to implement EWMH. Which means the enrire EMWH standard needs to be tossed, and everyone need

Until Wayland actually has an accesibility story, X is really the only choice. Don't think most grassroots projects will have that.

It might not be supported by the consortium, but python2 still lives, slowly, in one place or another: > The RHEL 8 AppStream Lifecycle Page puts the end date of RHEL 8's Python 2.7 package at June 2024. https://access.re

Both of those are from over a year ago? For future, I wouldn't think that's "top" of any discussion. The strange font sizes and setting reset was mostly fixed as part of the 2020 massive refactor [0]. There are still som

I don't see it at the top of the discussion on the forums I checked. So can you expand why you think the text tool, is bad?

The virus-infested computers caused by scam versions of Neopets, are not dissimilar to Windows today. Live internet popups you didn't ask for, live tracking of everything you do, new buttons suddenly appearing in every toolbar. All of

Well, this is some fun irony. An attacking comment, for offering an explanation, and acknowledging the prevalence of that particular cultural item. You just attacked an explanation, including personal slag like "anyone who doesn't

The average person will not click through a security warning. And if they do, they don't know what they're expected to do on that settings page. They are trained _not_ to bypass security.

Um... No? [0] A $400/mo Patreon does not exactly outweigh somewhere between 18-35 million sales on a single one of the platforms it supports. I would not call that the "upper bound". [0] https://steamdb.info/a

And so many exceptions to that. One example? Stardew Valley. Runs on everything, not just "viable" OSs, made by a single person, and easily competes with an entire genre of gaming to pay the author.

Those are my _only_ options? Wow. I guess Steam must be bankrupt and surviving off just four games. And I guess Epic and Steam just don't compete. And itch and GoG are just irrelevant with no market impact. Sorry for the sarcasm, but g

It also involves around three or four "I know this could be dangerous" click-throughs. That is harder to get an audience of everyday, than settling for paying someone you are probably already paying.

Many of them already do this. [0] It is a much easier problem to solve than you would expect. No need to drag in a data centre when heuristics can get you close enough. [0] https://sources.debian.org/patches/unzip/

That, I have certainly seen. But that is about attacking success stories, not about attacking you for not knowing something. I know you said reverse, just spelling out they're different. Win an award? Get a callout for effort? Rest of

I assume they were referencing ISM-0518. Which mandates all ISPs _in Australia_ to have IPv6 before January 1st, 2026.

Money laundering? Certainly. Black market goods? Of course. Avoiding taxation? Absolutely. Day to day purchases? Not that I've seen.

I don't think Altavista came before the bubble burst... They directly competed with Google and Yahoo.

That's pretty standard where I am. Every Telstra router comes with IPv6 enabled.

Advertising is predicated on it _not_ working for everyone. Voting with your wallet is simply not enough if it can still influence others. This is a field that requires regulation to see any difference.

The original SGML standard in '86 might not have had Markdown, but it did have partials and includes. Also framesets and frames.

IBM Aus discouraged it, Accenture, Concentrix, EY, CommBank, ANZ, and others all encouraged it, for myself. I wouldn't say discouraging it will be the norm across most places in Australia.

The complaint, today, is it doesn't have much adoption. So the question always being around kinda does suggest there's difficulty. Unless it's somehow become widely used?

That would fail on a user supplying a multiple where you don't expect. > If multiple fields are used (i.e. a variable that may contain several values) the value returned contains all these values concatenated together with a newline
