Dismissiveness?

If you need that for aggressive anticheat stuff to run, that makes total sense. I personally don’t need it since proton is so good, but I also don’t understand why anyone would hate on you for that.

Most of them, sure. Every single one until proven otherwise, yes. Every single one, no qualifiers? No.

Brands like Shelly allow you to completely disable the cloud, which AFAIK makes them stop phoning home completely except for update checks.

I think a lot of “Home Assistant certified” brands are good privacy-wise, as that means that they don’t care about pushing you onto their proprietary cloud.

Collectives are better. Share risk, responsibility, and reward.

I’m OK with jumping through more hoops – once.

Once I told the device that I know what I’m doing, it shouldn’t be more than a pop-up per install.

Idk if that’ll make you happy. The different POSIXy shells have so many subtle differences and footguns that I personally feel best

• using nushell as a daily driver, as it’s sane and makes sense and errors out when it should
• using bash when forced to interact with things that are written in bash (I don’t know anything written in fish or ZSH)
• using Python or Rust or so for scripts living in projects that are written in that language

I can’t be bothered to look up the weird arcane sigils that make bash not shit itself when e.g. using arrays as command args or so, so I will author only the most pedestrian bash scripts where pipes are already a bit much.

See my rant about Zoom here: https://vger.to/lemmy.ml/comment/22183939

tl;dr: if there’s any issue with Zoom, you can always bet that it’s Zoom’s fault. Its bug density is just so much higher than anything else you run on a regular system.

I’m using nushell, which is also written in Rust.

It has the added advantage of error handling that actually makes sense!

Absolutely not fine, wtf are you smoking?

You didn’t read the link. Otherwise you’d know that’s mentioned.

Plasma devs are currently focusing on input devices. Ideal time to offer them to help test your device and get amazing support out of it.

Or you could sit on your ass and do nothing, which is essentially gambling that they’ll happen to support it (or your next device) when you’re forced to switch at some point in the future.

Hmm, especially GNOME devs are definitely very opinionated, but “running a Wayland session on halfway-contemporary hardware” is definitely something all DE devs want to support.

So if you give them workable information, you won’t be dismissed.

You said “no screen sharing software”.

1. That’s wrong
2. It’s pretty much impossible that you don’t know that some screen sharing software works on Wayland

Consequently, that was a lie. Or you suck at expressing yourself and meant something different than what you wrote. But as written, definitely a lie.

Fair, although I never understood why people choose Mint and so on.

Plasma is so configurable that you can just make it look and act like you want, right?

So I guess it’s getting the GNOME experience (everything is simple, no setup) but with a classic desktop paradigm?

The issue is that in the political landscape, that word has shifted away from its social meaning. “Conservatives” in the US and parts of Europe are actually reactionaries, i.e. people pushing back against the status quo wanting to “return” to some idealized past that never existed like that.

So using the word “conservative” in its original sense might not be understood by people.

People who just complain and stay in some deprecated tech (instead of reporting bugs and working with the new way) will have a rude awakening when it’s just no longer supported.

I’m not saying everyone should be a early adopter, but this timeline was more than forgiving. People who did nothing but keep using the X11 GNOME session might run into Wayland session bugs now that they could have reported years ago.

I was an early adopter years back, so I reported bugs while I could still switch back when I needed to (which ended up being once to screen share with Zoom)

If you had done this, you wouldn’t be forced into a buggy environment now.

Almost everyone uses it. We just never make posts about “our configuration works effortlessly, give us attention”

Only people with a bone to chew and shit to stir feel the need to post such things. Back in the day it was people who felt superior for debugging their steaming pile of init shell spaghetti, now it’s people who just can’t live without diving into X11 configuration files.

Liar. Proof by contradiction: Everything I use works (KDE Plasma).
