It's been a while since I've watched it myself, but remember them going into the ownership structure.

There's basically no way for them to not make it a subscription model.
You can cancel when receiving the first reminder, or probably also immediately. Good initiative though, I might do the same.
I'd change
Except it's barely in your hands because your surroundings have vastly more influence over what you actually become.
What a metaphor.
Good to mention that (in the Netherlands) when you've provided fingerprints for a new identification card, the fingerprints are wiped from any system after you've received the card, remaining only on the card itself.
Interestingly, as ChatGPT might be trained on these ELI5 questions and as a result they are asked more infrequently, it might get worse over time or out of date on these types of questions by its own doing. I especially wonder how bad this influence will get on subjects that you'd normally search stackoverflow for.
I wonder if internally the emoji's are added through a different mechanism that doesn't pick up the original request. E.g. another LLM thread that has the instruction "Is this apologetic? If it is, answer with exactly one emoji." After this emoji has been forcefully added, the LLM thread that got the original request is trying to reason why the emoji would be there, resulting in more apologies and trolling behaviour.
Using Garuda Linux with KDE. Installed this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git
Wrote some scripts that performs the switching like it's being done on ChimeraOS & the Steam Deck. Want to release them in a repository some time, but they're awfully hacky right now.
Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.
Explained by someone that doesn't know the technical side super well.
1: It's a new protocol for displaying. The main difference from X11, as I understand it, is a simplification of the stack. Eliminating the need for a display server, or merging the display server and compositor.
2: Some things impossible (or difficult) with X11 are much better supported in Wayland. Their not necessarily available, as the Wayland protocol is quite generic and needs additional protocols for further negotiation. Examples are fractional scaling & multiple displays with differing refresh rates.
Security is also improved. X11 did not make some security considerations (as it is quite old, maybe justifiably so). In X11 it's possible for any application to "look" at the entire display. In Wayland they receive a specific section that they can draw into and use. (This has the side-effect of complicating stuff like redshifting the screen at night, but in my experience that has fully caught up).
3: If you're interested, are in desktop application development (but I have no experience in that regard) or have a specific need for Wayland.
4: I think X won't die for a long long time if "ever". I'm not super familiar with desktop app development, but I don't think it requires more work to keep supporting X.
On the other hand, most of the complaints about Wayland I've heard were ultimately about support. At some point, when you're a normal user, the distro maintainer should be able to decide to move to Wayland without you noticing, apart from the blurriness being gone with fractional scaling.
Here's why
Human rights
If what the first commenter said is true. They will just implement RCS or an alternative in the EU and make up some reason why they can't or won't for the US market.
