I mean, this is of course bad for people using BSD, but you can’t really fault devs for not supporting what you want. It’s FOSS. You support what you want, or you take what you get. Maybe support will come eventually, until then stick with SDDM or some other alternative.

Well, I don’t know whether it’s by default, but systemd does so - if the program doesn’t close in a timely manner (or there is an exception configured)

You can copy-paste commands tho. Writing a concuse GUI tutorial is more work. Whether I want to do that depends a lot on who that work is for

I recently noticed that the logging framework I use does not limit the log’s length. I don’t know how exactly I filled the memory so quickly, but I did

Valve has by no means a monopoly - they have lots of competition. They are just, hands down, the best game distribution platform available, and by a huge margin. People actively choose them over alternatives that do exist.

Point being: They are not a monopoly that isn’t bad, they have the influence they have because they are pretty darn good at what they do

If you would have spend the time it took you to write this rant on research, you would habe probably realized there are TUI front-ends for GDB.

Bazzite works pretty well out of the box and with new hardware (n = 1)

ChatGPT can just about summarize a page, wake me when it starts outsmarting anyone

Give me a compositor with at least some of the capabilities of Awesome

KDE Plasma.

and some none alpha-quality VNC solutions

The one from KDE.

And before you call me uninformed, please explain to me why per-window custom shaders are a necessity (i.e. overwhelmingly useful and irreplacable) for anyone. And furthermore, what anything you said has to do with me questioning the necessity of not maintaining, but reimplementing X.

I never said anything about Awesome or any X WM, I didn’t even say anything about people sticking with an X environment. I commented on a post about a new X implementation, because I wondered why people go out of their way to keep X around, after its own maintainers declared it abandonware.

I don’t get why people cling to X so desperately. You get no benefits and downsides on top. Wayland is becoming the default for all major and even some smaller DEs, so good luck avoiding all of them and backporting features so Wayland native apps don’t break.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do stuff like this for fun. You can do anything for fun. I don’t get why of all things you would do that for fun, but go ahead

Rust is an unreadable mess to you because you can’t read it. It has a steep learning curve, but the reward is one of the most reliable and efficient languages ever created.

The most important thing is using Rust, be it only to avoid calls for a rewrite in Rust by people like me

No matter where you stand on distros, one has to admit Sparky is just neat. Literally Gamer’s Debian

You can do USB control over browser, at least enough for Keychron to do their keyboard configuration stuff as a web app. It’s pretty cool actually, no need to install anything, even works on Linux

I wonder why so many people bundle Electron when you can make your app run in any browser. Like, you can totally write a program that just launches the browser and makes it load a site from lokal storage

Catgirls? That’s news to me

Honestly, the preinstalled spyware aside, Edge is a pretty good browser. It’s, like, Chrome but better

How do you think they lost their virginity?

My guess is because that idea became tied to secure boot respectively chassis intrusion quickly, which makes encrypting every last bit unnecessary. There is true FDE baked into SSDs tho - they can store their key in a TPM.

I’m curious whether that user name ends with “series” or some variation of “sex temple”

Edit: It was series, I’m relieved yet a little dissappointed
