Looks kinda similar to https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd/ , which is open source and free software. Always worked very well for me on Wayland, but seems to be working on Xorg and macOS as well.

It doesn't conflate anything. The inclusion rules weren't given to us by God, they were created by humans because they thought, rightfully, that people will be interested in that as a product ("prefer"). As the market ch

Thanks, I very much agree with your points. I do however think it sounds very different to say "democracy has some prerequisites" and "democracy is not necessarily the best form of government for a nation. One can still think

Can you elaborate? What's unique about the nations for which democracy isn't the best form of government? What's unique about their people? And is it still relevant to call the view that democracy _is_ the best form of govern

The essence of the this story is still true: many non-Americans are choosing non-US tech/products/services whenever they're faced with an alternative. Living in Sweden I see it around me all the time, and this is something no

Sorry, I should have made it clear: my comment is about the general population. It is about why Firefox is losing market share. Not about IT people, privacy-conscious people or alike. It is about why the average Joe stopped isn't using

This is nice in theory, but literally never have I heard a friend saying "I tried using Firefox, but it was too slow / too power hungry / had bad sandboxing / wasn't configurable enough". Not once. What I did h

People often think that Firefox is losing because it doesn't do this one thing they want it to do, and if only Mozilla listened to them they'd see Firefox skyrocketing. Seems like the truth is that Firefox is losing because users

How does things like this work in terms of bookkeeping? How do they label the expense? Can a company send huge amounts of money to an unknown crypto account without needing to explain anything to the tax authorities?

Works fine from Sweden. But worry not, you're not missing anything. It's another American .gov joke website.

I guess YouTube doesn't really have any competition, i.e it's not like you're going to switch to the competitor video platform and search there. Your only option is to watch through multiple other videos before finding the on

For me the best solution was to use smart switches (mainly dimmers) and dumb lightbulbs. People can use the switches like any other if they want, but I can still have my automations and remote control.

Thank you for saying this. Power users love to complain about how GNOME took away many settings and options, and just made some hard decisions. I left GNOME many years ago since I miss these options, but I'm going to refer to your comm

Iran tends to lie about these things while Israel usually says the truth, at least after running an investigation. It's pretty simple: one is a dictatorship without free media, and the other one isn't. It's easy to lie when y

Not surprising - people don't count deaths in the Middle East if they're caused by fellow Middle Easterns, except Israel. Living in Europe I've never heard about a protest against Saddam (250,000 - 1,000,000 dead), Khamenei (
