  • Checking in from Avelon šŸ˜‰

  • Yeah… this shit’s killing me. If walking improves your ā€œchronic painā€ you were just lazy and out of shape 🤣

  • Non linear evolution at it’s finest ;-)

    It’s a lot harder to keep track of than it used to be but (holy crap) we won… mostly.

  • Oh it sounds like you understand it correctly :-)

    Thank you for taking the time to type this all up, you have expertly summarized the situation and I’m very grateful. Even with focused research it can be very hard to gain an objective understanding of complex subjects these days… doubly so when polaring topics like how to do desktop linux right are involved.

    I suppose it would be foolish of the Wayland devs to wade into the middle of those waters if they want their work to remain beneficial to all. And suddenly the abstract technical details in the linked article make more sense to me… they really want to remain abstract from some of the implementation details.

    This does seem a bit grim… and it perfectly explains why my problems could be fixed and one distro/wm and not another while still somehow being a ā€œwaylaid issue.ā€ I suppose the best solutions/implementations will probably at least end up being shared in principle… I don’t really know enough about the current state of either desktop to be sure, I just wanted to say something positive :-)

  • The return of the Disney vaults… I admit I’m concerned, but I’ve watched so much soulless bullshit at quality levels that do nothing but make the flaws easier to see… it’s not as much of a concern as it used to be. We’re whitnessing a spasm, it’ll pass. Good content comes from people that give actual fucks about what they are creating. They will always want you to experience the best version you can.

  • I’m not even sure how long MQA took, but the audio world came around and developed a lossless format that runs on commodity hardware and features a wide selection of popular… sound.

    Yeah, we’re boned.

  • It’s definitely nice to have exactly the copy you want. Plus (and decidedly more on topic) you can rip any extras you want… although the naming scheme is a bit of a headache, that’s the part that really delights me.

  • Good news! You can pirate high quality blueray rips from the internet and since you already own a license to the content it’s not even a crime ;-)

  • That was my take on it too. The vague sense that you’re just going to end up with nothing but circle-jerks if you implement all these suggestions. I could also just be whooshing an attempt a levity, something obvious to a seasoned community moderator.

    Hopefully my shitty attempts at socratic method rate a bit better then trolling, but I often doubt it :-)

  • Slightly more solid advice ;-)

  • People who downvote more than upvote tend to be the ones who get in fights a lot and say snarky, inflammatory and negative things.

    Summed up my whole sense of humor in half a throwaway sentence ;-)

    Seriously though, interesting read, thank you kux… you can really feel the author’s frustration and yet I can’t help but feel that they are interested in a certain kind of idealistic online community. Reddit but with a really restrictive HOA where everyone has the exact same color mailbox.

  • Obviously AI! Just look at his hands, they are normal sized.

    —Q

  • With the headline, yeah… kinda :-) Your answer plus a bit of ā€œthis is why it’s important.ā€ And I would have grunted and gone back under my bridge…

    I’m feeling a bit sheepish about my comment on the other side of the day.

    But I was also hoping for a lot more. Better desktop security… and that’s underselling it because my understanding is we’re pretty much coming from zero, so this was always going to be rough.

    I have yet to run into an insurmountable issue, but I’ve just hopped distros rather than (successful) troubleshooting. Always makes me grumpy ;-)

  • Because it’s so complicated that given a page (page and a half) to answer the simple question, ā€œWhy does Wayland support still give you more problems than solutions?ā€ We had to describe it like the summary of a PHD theses in client server architecture?

    Come on with that load of hot trash 😭

  • Everything everyone else said + cuckoldļæ¼ porn… that stuff that’s like ordinary boring porn with a description about how cool it is that you’re getting turned on by looking at someone’s imaginary wife.

  • Granted it needs at least one more wall, and more diverse diatary options* but it’s a start šŸ˜‰

    *books are vegan though!

  • There are two broad groups of monkeypox virus that cause mpox infections: clade I and clade II.

    This is… what even is this? A confusing attempt to destigmatize the diseases name? I think they should have gone with bigpox ;-)

  • Full melee, only the strongest survive!

  • Not if they live in the orphanarium šŸš€
