Wait, wait, going via a wayland protocol means each piece of software requires you to opt into what it collects, on X11 they can just read everything all the time no matter what, spyware in X11 is trivially easy, it's much harder when it goes via a wayland protocol.

Also, is what you're describing on gnome or KDE? As I understand it, KDE separates those parts out, so one shouldn't block the other.

So, it does work, just not the way you would prefer it to?

https://superuser.com/questions/1189467/how-to-copy-text-to-the-clipboard-when-using-wayland#1377550 In KDE, you can rebind the keybinds for anything, it's under system settings in the keyboard section, I'm not really sure what you're talking about. You can add custom ones to run any command, too, if the app doesn't register a keybind, so you could, for example, send a dbus signal to the app. The way it's done in wayland is different, but KDE supports all the stuff you mentioned in wayland from what I can tell.

Yeah, but LLMs still consistently don't follow all rules they're given, they randomly will not follow one or more with no indication they did so, so you can't really fix these issues consistently, just most of the time.

Edit: to put this a little more clearly after a bit more thought: It's not even necessarily a problem that it doesn't always follow rules, it's more so a problem that when it doesn't follow the rules, there's no indication it did so. If it had that, it would actually be fine!

What's your proposed solution? Open source can't really fix this - distribution of proprietary games isn't really geared towards FOSS. If all competing products are worse, why would anyone switch? Valve isn't using any underhanded tricks to keep users on Steam, they don't need to. Their competitors actually could catch up, theoretically, valve hasn't pulled up the ladder. It's just a matter of, y'know, making a product nearly as good as Steam, which is a monumental undertaking.

I don't really think steam is anti competitive, their product is just so much better than the competition that they've earned a monopoly position. Whenever another company has tried to dethrone steam, it's lacked features or didn't allow refunds or didn't run on Linux or didn't work as well with controllers - valve is just so far ahead on steam, it'd be monumentally difficult to catch up.

Okay, but, did you actually watch the video? It's based on Homestar Runner and how they intentionally mispronounced something - the mispronunciation is entirely intentional.

That is, in fact, how "dogecoin" is pronounced (doj coin). Here's one of the two creators of dogecoin saying as much (and why!): https://youtu.be/kVDcOI0-gdQ

No snapd on mint at all.

Try the auto tab discard extension on Firefox. That'll reduce firefox's memory footprint.

This response is entirely unhelpful. Yes. Fuck nazis. I get it. This adds nothing. Nazis are bad, but we must coexist with them, lest we round them all up and get rid of them, which isn't gonna happen. If it were that easy, we'd have done it already!

I agree in principle, but you're not going to win any battles with that mindset. They'll just respond with "so much for the tolerant left". Victimization is a beloved pastime for them.
