ridiculous, the vast vast majority of people just plug in what the ISP provides them, and thats it.

perhaps you could explain how its such a new paradigm and mental model that it simply confuses people? because I dont buy it, its without exaggerating a smaller difference in so far as this goes, than when people get a new microwave oven, and substantially less difference than when people switch phone brands.

redeeman··on Android May Soon Restrict On-Device ADB
no, its a cve if the app can just do it automatically, it is NOT a cve that user goes through 5 steps that they very explicitly do, including unlocking hidden menus to open up developer options, and then allow it.

seriously, get real, please explain how your train of thought works here

nobody suggests they should be, the ONLY difference is that the routers will block inbound connections by default, and you open your port in the firewall section instead of the shitty router instead of the nat/port forwarding
redeeman··on My security camera shipped a GitHub admin token in its login page
how is it a different mental model? instead of opening the port in NAT via forward feature, you open the port in the firewall. it is in fact significantly simpler while overall being the same actions you take when you want to "forward"

you fling around words like "network maintainers" quite casually, dont you? :)

its really extremely simple, just dont NAT, is that really so hard? just because you dont NAT, doesnt mean you have to let the traffic pass through, that is also an extremely simple concept, no?

redeeman··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
i didnt say i think its gonna happen, im saying it should happen
redeeman··on Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM
thats very very obviously not how it works or was intended. then they could just come up with "rules" that are not laws, and then rules say cannot have arms.

all these insane and VERY OBVIOUS attempts to bypass the constitution should result in official doing it be put in jail FOREVER

redeeman··on LG to ban residential proxies from smart TV apps
very very stupid yes, and there are some other high profile softwares encouraging this brainrot, but, still not most.

anyone doing this should really take a very very big look in the mirror

redeeman··on LG to ban residential proxies from smart TV apps
the method you describe is clearly only done by people that are irresponsible and most probably stupid.

and no, this is not how most software is installed

and this is very clearly unconstitutional. "shall not be infringed" is very very plain and simple

no, that is a ridiculous line of reasoning
redeeman··on Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux Floss Drivers
i was in the market for a drawing tablet. I looked at huion, wanted it, but realized the driver situation was not on par with wacom. I now have a wacom device.
redeeman··on Danish privacy activist Lars Andersen raided by police
but all he does is things the politicians thinks are perfectly okay to do to the "plebs" they are supposed to represent.

when they do it, its A-OKAY, but if he does even 1/10, its the worst catastrophy in the world.

redeeman··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
there might exist some programs that do it, but this might be why they changed default from alt to win key.

in either case, that appears to be the very extreme minority of cases you have to move a window

redeeman··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
can you provide ANYTHING to back up that claim?
redeeman··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
everything I have on steam works fine with xwayland
redeeman··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
this take is ridiculous, of course remote wayland will work, there are still some things missing, which are gonna come shortly in KDE atleast.
redeeman··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
are there really multiple confliction extensions? I thought they finally actually agreed on a protocol to do it?
redeeman··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
assign yourself permission to the device(may or may not happen by default depending on your distribution), and you can actuate it in /sys/class/leds/inputXX::scrolllock/brightness.

probably also exists other tools to do it. this is then generic linux LED framework

redeeman··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
alt + left mouse button anywhere in the window (maybe win button or something is default now).

using the titlebar for moving a window is extremely backwards and productivity killer.

that being said, I agree with you, and I think its an outright abomination to put the tabs in the titlebar, and its disgusting how crome and firefox by default removes the real titlebar

it works for us now
redeeman··on A Wayland Compositor in Minecraft
so what you're basically saying is that with the exception of a very few individuals working on xlibre, the developers of xorg, KDE, GNOME and several others are essentially lying about the feasability of continuing with xorg? that, or too incompetent to make the same realization you did?

edit: what are you gonna do if it turns out you cant avoid wayland? have you considered actually reporting the bugs you might see in wayland instead? because the future very much looks like A LOT of things are gonna go more and more wayland, its gonna be with reduced functionality to stay on X

it couldnt have been done without breaking compatibility. not while actually solving problems.

This is what the actual X developers are saying, which coincidentally are also the wayland developers, and several downstream projects like gnome/kde.

SOME of the issues could have some solutions implemented, but far from all. just look at xlibre, before they even came to functionality they broke stuff in changing things - which they admittedly have fixed for now, but lets follow that and see how far they go.

on one side we have all the developers of Xorg etc saying one thing, and you(and others, that I presume are not involved with Xorg) saying another.

Wayland could have also been 10 years earlier, but because most people just coasted on xorg, which I agree has been kinda reasonable, nobody really took it serious until recently.

you are also moving the goalpost in regards of net benefit. Just because SOME things could be done in X, doesnt mean its not also a benefit to have it in wayland.
