Strongly agree. If anything, compromise is necessary for finding the best solution for everyone, especially as we're all different.
That manager thinking that compromise is "giving up" needs to get out of the selfish delusion and come back to reality. Feel sorry for the subordinates!
The sense of entitlement in some of the replies on that post are absolutely awful
As for me personally, I want to love Wayland. It has great performance on ALL my devices, (except one with a nvidia GPU) and is super smooth compared to X11!
However... the secure aspect of Wayland makes it very difficult, if not impossible to easily get a remote desktop going. Wayvnc doesn't support the most popular desktop environments depending on how Wayland was compiled, and the built-in desktop sharing on distros that have switched over to Wayland often require very specific Linux-only VNC and RDP clients, otherwise you run into odd errors.
I really hope the desktop sharing situation improves because it's a pretty big showstopper for me. On X11 you just install & run x11vnc from a remote SSH session and you have immediate session access with VNC from Linux, Android, and Windows. If you want lockscreen access too then you run as root and provide the greeter's Xauth credentials. But Wayland's not so simple sadly AFAICT...
Waypipe is something I've found out about recently though, so need to check that out and see how well it works at the moment. If anyone has any helpful info or pointers please share, I'm completely new to Wayland and would appreciate it!
Adobe already has a product identical to Figma called XD, it would be entirely ridiculous to let them further monopolize the digital design space buying the most popular competitor
international law known as Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), through which private corporations are able to sue governments that implement legislation that constrains their profits.
Why does this even exist ☹️
If, say, a government attempted to force an international fossil fuel company to clean up after an oil spill, or introduced measures to disincentivize smoking, those governments could be sued
Próspera launched an $11 billion ISDS case against the government of Honduras, claiming that its repeal of the ZEDE laws violated the terms of existing international treaties. That amount, $11 billion, represents about two-thirds of the government’s annual budget.
Wow. To be honest, after reading the rest of the article I can see why guillotines are so appealing.
Truly a sad state of things when a billionaire has the freedom to legally bully goverments smaller than them. This will just end up hurting the country IMO, as the govt's legal money needs to be pulled from somewhere

Hope those new ex-C suite billionaires enjoy the damage they've done to a previously reputable brand and product 🤷♂️ glad I went with libvirt for virtualization instead 4 years ago when rebuilding my homelab
I was a bit pissed when I got the pop up though - I was remoting into another machine running at a pretty small 800x600 resolution, and it was a pain to scroll around to the No Thanks 🤦♂️
Only one additional thing that came to mind - get a phone with lots of storage! My two previous Android devices died as a result of EMMC failure, and they had a pretty small onboard capacity (16GB, and 32GB)... my current device is 64GB and I now keep most of my data on a 512GB sd card.
Lots of empty storage space allows the EMMC firmware to perform wear levelling as needed, prolonging the life of this non-replaceable component. Most well-designed Android devices also run a "TRIM" on the internal EMMC storage when the device is idle, a kind of self-maintenance procedure that allows the firmware to keep track of how much space is unoccupied.
For Android users who are curious about the details (or have rooted devices and want to run a trim manually) see here
Do report these on the FP forum when you encounter them, the staff seem pretty proactive at getting these fixed, although it takes them a while... (at least they were for the FP3 - even community requests for a very low screen brightness were honored, and now they're supporting two versions of android for the FP3 due to Google's fingerprint sensor requirement nonsense on Android 13)
If they're easy to get, why not have them 😉
