I managed to work through all those issues using XDG portals & necessary software/configurations when using Hyprland & Arch, but I’d think that major distros & DEs also had solved them as part of their installs. Maybe I’m wrong. It is sad if they haven’t, because they are solvable. If this was 2 years ago, I would understand the frustrations more, but if there are still issues then I am more frustrated at whoever is packaging the crap & sending it to end users without thinking to address these problems using the available solutions.

It has improved, but most developers working on Xorg have moved to Wayland. I’m not saying Xorg isn’t still useful at times, like forwarding over SSH, but Wayland has more isolation & security considerations, which can be seen as both an advantage & limitation. However, Wayland compositors have implemented most controls & protocols now to fill in the gaps.

I’m sure some people do, but for the most part it is much better than X in that regard.

I understand where you’re coming from, but Democrats need progressives to win. If they leave Democrats, it will be Democrats that will follow them, not the other way around. I don’t think trying to emulate MAGA is such a great idea. I know there are lessons that can be learned there, but I am still confident that a new party with popular progressives & populist policies would do more than trying to change a broken party from within.

This is pretty much the most accurate response here. People like Andrew Tate are a symptom of a problem we have in society as a whole. The cure isn’t to block the symptom, because the disease is still there. The solution involves hard work & holding our own politicians accountable.

Funny how vocal Wayland haters used to be until they tried Wayland.

The same Democrats that barely won the previous election by telling people not to focus on them but Trump. Imagine funding the murder of kids, ignoring the housing crisis & then thinking you could just pull out the previous playbook with a dementia patient, then anointing Kamala Cheney at the last minute.

Truth there. I’m from a dark blue area yet city government here couldn’t act any different than if I lived in a dark red state. In some ways I actually think they are worse. All they have to do is put D next to their name & the voters will support them regardless of their actions.

Lol, and this was the establishment Democrat response:

Hilarious that Carville claimed progressives have purity tests in the same breath

Its fine let them keep losing. I honestly don’t care anymore. At some point progressives like Bernie, AOC, etc. will finally wake up & realize they don’t need Democrats to win. You want to see people passionate about voting again then it is time to leave the establishment behind. Anyone remember Bernie’s crowds in 2016? It was obvious he was may more popular than Clinton having to pay Beyonce & Jay Z for people to show up at her events.

Because the teacher’s aren’t learning it did quick enough.

You know what would help prevent things like this? Unions.

Unions are what companies in the tech industry fear the most.

Damn Mexico is going to be more progressive than the US soon if it isn’t already. I’ve been frustrated with house prices in the US too.

Uhm yeah the Trump admin is basically saying ignore all Rules of Professional Conduct & risk being charged with contempt, else we will punish you. I’m of the belief that most attorneys don’t have souls, so I don’t think it’ll be hard to find others claiming they could have done better for the right price, but knowing Trump this one was prob severely underpaid cause of his last name, where it didn’t make sense for him to risk losing his career.

He actually did them a favor by playing dumb instead of saying… “Oh yeah, my client intentionally ignored you & has documents showing they knew they were breaking the law.”

Finally, Mozilla is finally doing something innovative for once. Stalwart is freaking awesome.

They think some master manipulator told her how to do her job because she’s a woman. They envision some scene from 3 Body Problem of an alien race communicating with her on how to do it.

This is what happens when you try snorting Pirate’s Booty kids.

The first thing that can be destroyed in a great ceremony once these losers are kicked out.

ROCm has made a lot of improvements. $2000 for 48GB of VRAM makes up for any minor performance decrease as opposed to spending $2200 or more for 24GB VRAM with NVIDIA.

It would be less if NVIDIA & AMD wasn’t in an antitrust duopoly. You can get two XTX for less than $2000 with 48GB total VRAM.
