Ah, that's good to know. Thanks for the info!

Vanilla OS is moving to Debian with version 2. I don'tthink they have a KDE version, though.

Firefox now supports a setting (in Preferences → Privacy & Security) to enable Global Privacy Control. With this opt-in feature, Firefox informs the websites that the user doesn’t want their data to be shared or sold.

This sounds like Do Not Track revisited. The only difference that I can find (only skimmed the website) is, that there seems to be some legal support for this in the state of California.

Now you can exercise your legal privacy rights in one step via Global Privacy Control (GPC), required under the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA).

I wonder:

1. How does this differ from DNT?
2. Does this this have any real chance to take off? From what I've heard, DNT has been rather counterproductive as it can be used to fingerprint users.

A fart is an ephemeral, gaseous configuration of molecules as they pass through a specific orifice in a specific direction. In short, a fart is not the gas itself.

But if they had such strict access control they also had backups. Right? Right?!

That's not something I thought about. Good thing that you can disable the feature then

How do middle-click-to-paste and middle-click-to-scroll conflict? In Firefox I can click-to-paste if the cursor is over an input field and click-to-scroll anywhere else. Never had any problem with this behavior.

I think with a topic like this, you can't NOT spark a huge discussion. I hope you still got some useful answers out of it :)

Volcanos, Mother Earth's buttholes

I don’t think it’s just a you problem :)

I didn't think so. I guess Reddit has conditioned me to not state my opinion without a disclaimer, lest someone wants to start arguing :D

Btw. I don't think you'll find ZSH more intuitive to program. While it is an awesome interactive shell, the scripting part is Bash taken to the extreme.

Only if thunder is followed by putrid stench :D

Oh, this sounds interesting. I'll have to give this a try.

Thank you for the thorough write-up. I'm surprised the answer is a "(mostly) yes" (Betteridge's law).

Will listen to it as soon as I have time.

Bash script. Not necessarily hard to understand but very unintuitive in my opinion. I've written so much bash script over the years and still have to look up how to do simple things like iterate over associative arrays or do basic string manipulation. Maybe it's just a me problem though 🤷

What does pacman -Qii $PACKAGENAME say about the file in question?

Sounds like currently AMD is a safer bet if one was in the market for a new card.

Thanks for your answer.

if you’re willing to use proprietary drivers it works, but it has some hiccups

Do you know if nvidia still has issues with Wayland or are nvidia and MAD on par nowadays in that area?

… there is probably some benefit.

I was not thinking about the business side but rather about what the customer gets out of it. What bothers me about DRM systems is that they cause problems that you don't have with pirated game, which is the opposite of how it should be. I don't want to struggle to get a game running, when the pirated version does not caus those problems. That being said, I haven't bought any large AAA title in years and my experience is from 7+ years ago. Maybe things have changed but I kinda doubt it.

Why wait a few years and not avoid it completely? I doubt there's any reliable data that confirms a significant loss in sales if they launched without Denuvo and its ilk. DRM is at best useless and at worst "harms" customers.

Yeah, I don't know the exact structure of your translation files but a deep merge of your fallback files and the requested locale file should be enough.
