I don't understand how you're having those issues. GNOME has never had the option to have both CSD and SSD. When GNOME apps used GTK2, SSD was the only option. When GNOME apps started moving towards GTK3, CSD became the only optio

I don't know about this latest video but the previous video that got this person banned was a video suggesting that trans women are rapists using a crude stereotype of trans women. I've also seen a number of other comments made by

The drug trade seems to be heavily bolstered by crypto. It seems like the US could hamper both the drug trade and the crypto trade just by increasing taxes on crypto. A significant number of ETH nodes are in the US so they could also mess w

Just a short followup. Searching youtube, I see several videos at the top of the results with several perspectives, some of which agree with you, and some which don't: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=transg

I don't really see how they are ridiculous. I'm familiar with this person's content and it's pretty much all cruel, hateful and spiteful "jokes" if you could even call them that. It's like the classmate wh

To me the problem with blockchains is that they don't actually do anything except cause environmental externalities. That seems to be their entire purpose, done in the service of keeping the currency deflationary so the early investo

The US government can also swoop in and ban or heavily tax ETH exchanges and that cuts off the majority of those would do transactions. There's no need to take down every node; I can't see how any of those translate to killer feat

I'm not sure what is objectionable about that or who is being disenfranchised, most of those policies seem to be based around restricting gifting of illegal or highly regulated products which would also be illegal or require extra comp

That doesn't follow though. Your thesis is "the problem it solves is making money" but then in the second paragraph you say the problem is already solved in other ways that don't involve any web3 or cryptocurrency. Maybe

You might consider reporting those crashes, it's possible they're driver issues.

On the projects I've hacked on, a lot of time has been spent trying to replace bash and autotools in the build process and reduce its usage. They are brittle and nobody really likes to maintain giant shell scripts filled with fragile r

All of those systems have a way to install the GNU utils and I have seen that they all do so when compatibility is important. https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/x86_64/coreut... https:/

I'm still not sure I understand. If there is a working proof of concept for the exploit that is published, would you still consider that an invisible hypothetical? To me, it's not, I would like to have those patched. As with meltd

In terms of developer velocity I think it has already reached critical mass. I can't comment on any particular missing features in GNOME, to me it is probably more likely that a GNOME contributor is working on getting those features po

Neither are really good options for graphical applications. The focus now is on using container sandboxing, at least with things like flatpak and snap anyway.

I'm not sure what you mean by attacks in the wild. I don't have any news stories talking about how companies lost millions of dollars due to an X.org-based ransomware; but I hope you can see how it's not a good idea to wait f

I don't think so, the X.org server would likely have to be rewritten entirely to get some of the improvements of Wayland. And at that point you might as well use Wayland. People have written alternate X servers before but I've nev

Are you asking when the X server has been exploited? There have been a lot of published root priv exploits published over the years. A few were just published yesterday: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2021-Decem

by shatteredgate 5y ago
It's not really a rumor, if you check upstream you can see that nearly all work on new features is now happening in Wayland and Mesa and then eventually might get backported to X. That's what the article is about.

I doubt this will get done on Xorg any time soon, there is very little incentive for anyone to do it when it's already working much better on Wayland. The problem is in finding someone who will do it, it's not really a problem to

But you don't actually want to parse them though, that's the mechanism by which you receive the data but the real end goal is you just want the data in its canonical format so it can used programmatically; in powershell there is n

It doesn't really make sense to have unix commands output json or yaml. They're already doing a form of parsing internally, you're then asking them to encode the output in another text format so you can parse it again. Why? Y

I just saw your edit and I'll respond to it separately. I don't understand what you mean by "because of Red Hat". Maybe Fedora and RHEL are shipping libinput but other distros don't have to do that, it's their

Can you please share the email or issue where the proposal was made and where it was rejected? I still can't find it. I'd like to continue this conversation and discuss what can be done about it, but we can't discuss this muc
