How close are we talking?

Ah, I've almost always used a single monitor setup, so my use case wasn't weird enough to break X11. That said. Even Wayland is wonky on my multi monitor setup at work, though that's probably more a GNOME thing than a Wayland thing.

I do still think the approach they took with Wayland is a tad odd, in that everyone has to implement it themselves. But hey, if it works, it works.

I think it's another fine example of Canonical pushing its own products rather than supporting and enhancing existing standards (flatpak and appimage), which people are getting tired of. Also, as I understand it, the snap store itself is proprietary and is therefore controlled by Canonical.

Realistically, you're probably not utilizing a good 90% of your operating system's features on Windows. Is this backup crap good? No, but it's also a drop in a bucket.

Old doesn't mean bad

broken

Is it?

unmaintained

Is it?

I use Wayland personally, but I've had almost zero issues with X in the last decade, maybe with the exception of minor screen tearing several years back.

My understanding is that higher frequency == more refraction, visible or not. So in theory, x and gamma radiation should also experience more refraction. Though I wonder at what point (it any) something too high energy can somehow "pierce" through a medium rather than refracting.

I feel like the sets of people who have passports and people who frequently seal stuff from stores have a very minimal overlap. This probably won't do much.

Isn't that because blue is higher frequency and therefore refracts more than the other colors?

Lmao, people are just adopting HTTPS in the last 5 years? This article is trash.

No, but you can at least choose who you distrust the least with a VPN.

The build approval process actually stripped out all comments via a script.

Thanks, Satan.

Or create a service running with limited access to specific resources, and create an API for users to make requests to that service.

So if we ban social media, people will return to the real world and socialize, rather than wallowing in an online pit of rage and despair?

Meanwhile, I want them to stop releasing shit. IMO Android peaked already, and it seems like every update over the last 5 years has made things slightly worse.

Have they made improvements? Yes, but each improvement has come bundled with several UI regressions.

Lol, whatever.

Security is about understanding reasonable threat models. 99.99% of reasonable threats to your machine involve theft or loss of the entire machine and personal data or accounts being accessed..

A thief is going to steal your computer and gut it, not apply liquid nitrogen to your RAM and attach a bunch of instruments with hopes of extracting a crypto key so he can have a small chance at accessing potentially interesting data.

If you think a thief is going to do more, your threat model is very skewed. I suspect that you think you're much more interesting than you actually are.

Your cute statement about child porn is tasteless and thoughtless.

But it was cute.

Finally, someone reasonable.

Lol, holy hostility, Batman.

I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. That's why I purchased a TPM for my machine. Anyway, if your intent is to prevent someone from sticking your HDD into another machine to extract your data, FDE ticks that box. If you're worried about highly advanced attacks to find your kiddie porn collection, then you probably are justified in your paranoia.
