Until yesterday I would have said "my toaster". But after about 25 years of service or so the heating element finally broke and there are no more spare parts around. So I guess it's time to lay it to rest. It served me well.
Sorry, but log files can contain any amount of PII that is absolutely unsuited to be sent over an unencrypted channel to a person/company that should not even need some details.
I sure as hell also skim over logs before I send anything out and remove anything that I don't want to leak.
Ron is a caricature. So if he uses such a comparison it's basically being criticized as being a bad and insensitive one. So this meme does already condemn the use.
True, I only focused on the "Frankenstein" comment. The initial comment wasn't this condescending. It was quite cynical, but I am not sure that warranted these many downvotes.
Anyway: there was an intesting article recently that explained the architecture, and it makes sense. But it also shows the downsides.
I also currently have more problems with Wayland than with Xorg and find a few design decisions highly questionable, but that's no reason to completely talk it down in the way you do. You don't have to like it, you can criticize it, but you should stay civil.
I guess it depends on what the base line is.
When reading a large news paper for example, I presume most people hold it steady in their hand and move their head to progress. Which would be the "traditional scrolling".
If you assume a large scroll of paper (ancient egyptian style) I guess moving the scroll and keeping the head (mostly) steady works fine or even better. That would be the "natural scrolling".
But yes, in modern times I can't think of an equivalent of the scrolls to explain why we would consider that "natural", if we don't do it outside of the computer.
But you typically can't influence time, while you can influence distance travelled. The faster car will get you further in the same time than a slower car. So IMO distance (travelled) is the better measurement.
I used Bitwarden a lot but it pissed me off that I couldn't add new entries while offline, that accessing attachments requires me to be online as well, and that attachments are not part of the backup.
I switched back to Enpass due to that, which has even a slightly better UX IMHO. It's not FOSS though, but uses the FOSS sqlcipher library for storage. So if push comes to shove, I can still exfiltrate my data without relying on the vendor.
At least "communism" and "socialism" have theoretical definition. But yes, they were so heavily pulled into propaganda warfare, that they basically are used as synonyms for "enemy", as opposite of "democracy" and "freedom", and so on.
Btw "free speech" is another term that is watered down more and more. Also again by the right wing fuckers who complain that whenever they are criticized it would be an attack on "free speech". Which is also bullshit. You can say (mostly) what you want without being suppressed. But you can't expect those that hear it to just swallow it.
Not a professional either, but I was also curious and learned:
It's a layer of which the properties/filters apply to all layers below. So you can basically try around and manipulate the visible image without having to combine the layers first.
Take a look at PhotoPea then. Needs nothing more than a browser. Runs fine in Edge and can be installed as PWA. That should work fine even on a locked down machine.
I hope you mean the UX. I think attacking it's functionality would be unfair. It does everything good and right .... technically.
If the UX is objectively bad or "just" subjectively might be hard to find out. I would assume if there are objective UX mistakes, some contributor might have been able to deal with that by now. But of course it doesn't change anything if a majority doesn't like it for subjectice reasons. It's part of UX design to deal with subjective aspects.
