This really sends me

Ice Cream Sandwich was the best release IMO

IDK I think Wayland will be great some day. But right now we’re between x11 and Wayland an both options suck.

I’m just over here trying to record my desktop and take screenshots haha.

“it does not do that on purpose for security reasons”.

I understand the motivations here but my priorities do not align with this. Not once in my life has someone recorded my desktop without my permission. I support the idea of having a secure environment but its just a pretty bad UX in the meantime.

Dont take this the wrong way. I think Wayland is a good idea in general. I just wish there was something else to hold us over in the meantime and x11 isnt really that.

X11 and Wayland can unfortunately both be kind terrible.

I build cross platform desktop software professionally.

Because of this I have to use and pretty deeply understand the inner workings of every OS.

I can state as absolute fact that every major operating system including Linux is an absolute pile of hot garbage.

The difference is that macOS and windows are garbage on purpose. There were deliberate decisions to enshitify them for profit. They spent time and money making the OS worse on purpose.

On Linux most of the shitty parts were designed with good intentions but just kinda suck (Wayland for example).

IIRC Pipewire isn’t really designed for pro-audio / music production. So if you want to do these things, Jack is still kind of unavoidable.

I think it depends on your app I’m not really sure.

But it should be pretty safe to just post it here. If not I can give you my pubic key and you can encrypt the link?

Only true factory game for the working class.

Human rights issues are not political. The attempt by the right to cast them as political serves to suppress discussion and progress by making the very act of discussing these things at all be seen as taboo. We can’t let that happen.

That point aside, libre software is pretty much inherently political.

Piracy isn’t stealing regardless.

Stealing is to deprive someone of something they posses.

It’s not possible to possess something that doesn’t exist yet. Your copy doesn’t exist until you make it (by downloading the file).

If you chose to not support creators by paying to copy thier work, that’s maybe unethical but it’s not stealing.

If you hack into a Sony server and copy an unreleased film, then delete their copy, that is maybe stealing. Anything short of that is just copying.

IMO support indie creators when you can. Aside from that, ahoy!

I’m looking on behalf of my partner so I’m not 100% sure the podcasts they want are American but they are English for sure.

The best is when you find people who also communicate like this and know how to reply to messages with multiple questions/points.

Just launch the game from steam

windows just worked

This is not how I remember windows

Aphabtasia isn’t real.

INB4 any comments whatsoever.

This last part sent me. That’s so true it hurts.

No LLMs are not a solution to this problem in any way shape or form. This is a human problem that needs to be solved by humans.

Siiiiick

This is a neat idea and it will totally work, but they need to be the EXACT same files down to the checksums and file names. This could be harder to pull off than it sounds but it’s absolutely possible.
