SteamLink not allowing me to stream just my desktop (rather than a specific game) on Wayland is really the only thing keeping me on X11 at the moment. I use that feature almost nightly to keep watching something from my PC while I cook dinner

Been tried, already died.

“Glimpse”

Even Endeavour comes with Discover installed, and stuff like Octopi exists and is pretty bug free these days.

If you’ve never had to dig into a registry file or obscure hidden folder path in Windows, you aren’t enough of a power user to ever have to in a Linux distro either.

Endeavour is a great example for gui only users for sure.

Source: they made it up

That whole timeline is insane, and the fact that anyone even found this in the totally coincidental way they did is very lucky for the rest of us.

It’s essentially just a remote desktop app, so yeah kinda. Depending on your screen resolution it’ll be either be more or less annoying to click on smaller UI elements, but it’s certainly possible.

I keep my Bluetooth headphones connected to the PC, and there’s maybe a split second delay. Otherwise it’s perfect, because you can still navigate your PC with the touch screen as a mouse, and it even nicely supports my 3 monitors at once.

Still holding out for desktop streaming via SteamLink to work on Wayland. I use it almost nightly to mirror my screen to my phone so I can watch what’s on my PC while cooking dinner via my phone.

Duly noted, thanks.

Interesting stance.

So, not to throw around too many hypotheticals, but it sounds like by your logic you also would have been opposed to our participation in World War II as well?

I’m just trying to parse your train of thought here.

They must fight their own battle…

To what end? Is this stance worth losing a free nation to Russia if only supporting via arms isn’t enough anymore?

I’m honestly curious why you feel this way.

For me, generally, I don’t really enjoy the idea of sending our military into places like the Middle East; at best we’re teetering on the line of actually being the aggressors in those conflicts, and at worst actually are just clearly at fault. But I kind of think, for once, the issue at hand in Ukraine is pretty cut and dry at this point. If push came to shove and they really desperately needed support from allies, I can’t think of a more righteous use of our military than to defend Ukraine.

lol totally fair

Sure, but that’s not the only benefit to having full control over the entire tiling interface. I enjoy building out the features and visuals I want in python. It’s fun to have that level of control.

Yeah I also use KDE on my desktop, though I have my laptop running QTile because the tile hotkeys are much more convinient than navigating with the trackpad.

Ever considered trying out a tiling window manager?

A little more nuanced than that, at the bottom of the article it says:

According to a 2014 Gigaom interview with Paul Kane, then chairman of the Internet Computer Bureau, the domain name registry is required to give some of its profits to the British government, for administration of the British Indian Ocean Territory.[23] After being questioned as a result of the interview, the British Government denied receiving any funds from the sale of .io domain names, and argued that consequently, the profits could not be shared with the Chagossians, the former inhabitants forcibly removed by the British government.[24] Kane, however, contradicted the government’s denial.[25][26]

Any clue if this one addresses the impending 6.6 Kernel changes in response to how Nvidia was breaking the license?

They were already scanning every message and DM for data tracking and whatnot to sell anyway, the only difference now is they’re using it for TOS violations.

Privacy-wise nothing has changed, but actual consequences for actually bad things like racism / transphobia / csam / etc. is good. The only real issue is what if they decide that sharing a music file is piracy and now your account is penalized? What about uploading an NES ROM to a friend via a DM? Or sharing a link to an anime piracy website?

It’s the kind of thing that has to be a balance between making sure users aren’t doing stuff that is strictly against Discord’s rules, but also about making a good-faith attempt to limit things that can get Discord themselves in trouble from companies who are becoming more and more aware that Discord has been used as a piracy-safe haven for quite some time now. (Like how they’re limiting their “using discord upload URLs like your own CDN” issue last month.)
