Why is X.org not suing bird site X.com?

  • I recently noticed that micro is getting more powerful. It seems to have some LSP support now.

  • No, there isn't a plugin system. Things like LSP support are builtin and it uses external LSP server binaries that must be installed on your system.

  • AVIF is slower, has a way smaller maximum resolution and doesn't support progressive decoding as well as lossless JPEG recompression.

    • Migrated from Windows to Linux. Decided to share list of answers/statements I was looking for before did it (and could not find).

  • GNOME introduced its support in version 45, AFAIK there isn't a stable distro release yet that ships it.

  • My comment above should be taken with a grain of salt.

    broken

    It works in many cases. From a privacy/security standpoint, it is a nightmare since any program can just access all other windows. Multiple monitor setups with different scaling don't work at all. …

    unmaintained

    While the git repo receives some commits, most of them are fixes for xwayland. Most X11 contributors that are still active are working on wayland now. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commits/master and (not so serious) https://floss.social/@XOrgFoundation/110769221673585385

    • I'm probably going to get a lot of explanations in the comments

  • The thing about Ubuntu and snaps is that they are pushing it and “forcing” its users to use it.

    You can uninstall it using sudo apt remove snapd but if you then try to install eg. firefox using sudo apt install firefox — voilà! — snapd is back.

  • Xorg bad?

    It's not bad. It's just old, broken and unmaintained.

  • Maybe your picture was rotated by changing its metadata (it was not reencoded in a new direction) and pict-rs didn't handle that metadata correctly. If I find the time, I'll try it myself.

  • Fuck YouTube. All my homies use PeerTube.

    Well, at least in my dreams.

  • Containerized applications are applications run in isolated packages of code

    My main point is that a running AppImage isn't isolated, it can access and modify any file that the user has the permission to. So theoretically, an AppImage could read and upload your ssh keys or put rm -rf ~ in your .bashrc.

    A Flatpak app on the other hand needs to either declare specific permissions in its manifest if it wants to e.g. access your home directory or use xdg-desktop-portal to ask for a permission at runtime. This can help when running proprietary/untrusted software or if you want to control what a program can do and what not.

    A more popular example are Android apps which are executed in a strict sandbox and need to ask for permission if they want to read your images, access your microphone etc.

    Note that there were some discussions about adding sandboxing to AppImages: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/152
