The reason for the lack of interest is that local politicians don't have enough power. If all the local mayor decides about is whether the town hall is going to be blue or green, people don't care. If he can decide if people are a

GDPR is aimed at local small and medium businesses. They will get destroyed by fines if they save the email address of their customers wrong according to some very complicated elaborated made up rules by the unelected EU commission. Big com

Maybe there will be a magic pill that makes everybody much more intelligent. We are only using a few percent of our brain after all. Until then I assume that the evidence presented by mainstream psychology is correct which says that between

No, Proof of Work does not need to be equally distributed. Even if just one entity does all the work it is incentivized that its blocks are accepted by the community otherwise all the work was for nothing and the miner makes a loss.

There is no shortage because across the board wages are rising much slower than inflation. Considering software developers specifically: The wages in Europe are much lower than in the US. We are talking about less than 50% after taxes. And

No reason to feel sad. Simply move back to your own country and start fixing problems. Your country needs you. Germans probably feel sad too about the fact that their country is turned into a generic settlement area for economic opportunist

No they are a US vassal state. If they only cared about themselves they would have zero sanctions and Nord Stream 2 would be pumping cheap gas in vast quantities.

There are several "unopinionated" tookits out there already. Nobody uses them because it is all a matter of popularity. The most popular toolkit by far is called HTML+CSS+Javascript. You might hate it but the point of no return ha

I think XResources are great. As a programmer you don't have to design a new configuration language and write a parser for it for every new program. However, what makes XResources better than all other configuration systems out there i

As somebody who lives in Europe in a country with one of the lowest reproductive rates in the world I can assure you that is is entirely true.

No, "society" should encourage smart women to reproduce. It's as simple as that.

No they already have farbfeld which is superior because it is not tied to a specific compression algorithm.

Prioritizing "diversity" over doing good Physics is the best way to sabotage science in western institutions. Our Chinese competitors will love it.

The composited image of the desktop is only available to the compositor. Hence it needs to be solved at the compositor. Since Wayland is essentially nothing more than a multiprocess negotiation protocol for video memory access it is exactly

> long time Considering the age of Wayland it's not that long. Besides that, Pipewire is not part of the Wayland protocol. This means external protocols now have to jump in fixing the deficiencies of Wayland.

It's not silly. The target market for GNOME is nobody (except maybe GNOME developers themselves).

Yes a protocol that has no standardized way to share screen content. And as such it is completely usless for todays workflow which is dominated by video call meetings.

AMD64 contains everything up to SSE2. AVX2 only exists since 2015. I doubt many applications require it.

The AMD64/x86_64 ISA patents expire 2023. This makes RISC-V kind of pointless since x86 has a vastly superior ecosystem. I would prefer a solid x86 system without IME, Pluton, secret microcode, EFI cripple bootloader and all the other
