As an aside, you talk about wayland as if it were one thing. But the wayland protocol is intentionally minimal. Each wayland compositor picks and chooses between different third party libs to support various features. So you never know if s

The government doesn't want to actually stop these things. They just want to make everything that people do normally illegal. Enforcement will only happen if you rock the boat.

Feeds in general, and RSS in particular, are far from dead. But one thing that could kill them quite suddenly is the rise in javascript/etc dependent ostensible "anti-bot" or "anti-dos" MITM services/front-ends

Yep. I feel the same about all the various wayland compositors. Even 15 years on none of them have managed to implement accessibility support for existing linux applications. No screen readers support on any but GNOME's compositor and

Another huge gap is accessibility. No wayland compositor has managed to implement screen reader support that works with existing applications yet. And no, GNOME's wayland compositor did not achieve this. In typical GNOME fashion they t

The local anesthetic is topical and for the surface of the eye itself. It definitely helps. The pain comes from the burning of the back of the eyeball/retina and the nerves there.

So what stops malware from disabling the mitigations? This is the same issue that Firefox had re: requiring all add-ons to be approved and cryptographically signed by them. If it were possible to disable it it'd be useless. So 99.999%

I hope it also means they've managed to do what no wayland compositor has managed in the past 15 years: have working accessibility (screen reader support, etc) that works with existing applications. Otherwise this is just another toy&#

I wish them luck. But going waylands only instead of supporting X11 means they're throwing away all accessibility support that is integrated into all linux software. Their toy distro won't be ADA compliant and I certainly won&#x27

Wow! This site uses anubis with the meta-refreshed based challenge that doesn't require javascript. So I can actually read the article in my old browser. It's so rare for anubis deployals to be setup with any configuration beyond

It wouldn't be the worst event of that type or even unprecedented. HTTP/3 is not even TCP and barely HTTP anymore. HTTP/3, QUIC, was openwashed through the IETF by google/ms/apple and can't even connect to a we

Sideloading is a propaganda word. The sentence you meant to ask actually answers itself, "Is it possible to allow installation and keep users safe?"

It's not a fine distinction. It's orwellian propaganda. Installation is the normal thing that is the status quo. Having a locked down corporation controlled system that only lets you install things they approve should be called so

Sometimes, often even, Dreamwidth can do the right thing like this. I fully support them in this fight and hope they win. But let's not pretend banning huge IP ranges for years at a time is new to them. Dreamwidth has been at the foref

Oh, you can be sure any new protocol approved by the IETF today is only going to reflect the needs and use cases of large corporations (see HTTP/3). We gotta work with what we have.
