I hope that Office will be available on Linux in addition to Adobe Acrobat. LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, etc. aren't good enough for documents that use advanced Office features. Same thing applies to Acrobat.
Or neither option: Launch a streaming platform. No, don't morph smth everyone loves into a streaming platform. Plex's marketing for their streaming vision is so piss poor that the only people who know about it use Plex for a use case that clashes with this new vision.
Because Wayland is in active development. wdisplays and wlr-randr use wlr-output-management-unstable-v1. Why should GNOME and Plasma implement an unstable protocol for a use case they support out of the box?
Plex is so bizarre. I consider myself a tech-savvy person, but I can't wrap my head around the concept of “I host Example App on my servers. I host, maintain, and pay for the instance of Example App and servers myself. I also pay for a license for Example App. But Example Company controls my instance.” It's so foreign to everything you can host yourself. It's such an unfair commercial practice that I can't for the life of me explain how such a model can survive. Self-hosting is about regaining control in my books. Yet Plex over here thinks they can not only shove down the maintenance burden and costs of everything down my throat, but also control access to my data. The solution to Plex's retarded ToS violation situation is for Plex to say shit happens, how about we stop controlling everything you do with Plex to such an excessive degree that the media mafia can accuse us of empowering piracy instead of... the person who hosts pirated media on their server? Plex's biggest business liability is Plex's own business practices. They're practically begging the media mafia to sue them.
I hoped that memes stay out of here, but that ship sailed. Perhaps Lemmy will allow people to tag posts in the future, so people like me can exclude memes from community feeds.
Why did you delete this post? I read the post, and it's quite obvious what you asked for in the comments. Besides, it could be useful for others as well.
I find it hard to understand what I'm supposed to address from your monologue, but I'll go with one thing that stuck out to me.
What does this have to do with app developers? GNOME, Plasma, Wlroots, and Smithay use the Wayland protocol. If app frameworks use the Wayland protocol, then they're compatible with GNOME, Plasma, Wlroots, and Smithay. Apps won't work if GNOME, Plasma, Wlroots, and Smithay were compositors with their own, separate, incompatible protocol. Or the Wayland protocol in that hypothetical world is so poor that Wayland compositors deviate so much from each other that app frameworks must support each compositor individually.
They can't detect everything, but let's look at Steam as an example. If the game detects Steam DRM, then the game knows that they should've bought the game on Steam. They can check whether the Steam DRM is a stub and therefore a crack, or get your local Steam account ID and cross-check whether you bought the game with a Steam API.
When crackers don't patch out the phone line, they can.
Edit: Only in some cases, though. They can detect popular ways to crack games, like Steam DRM stubs. If the game has zero identifiable information about the buyer and no or an unsupported DRM, they're SOL.

I'm not sure what you mean. Lemmy already has a test suit.
