@thomasfuchs True, though some of those things are security vulnerabilities that go from unknown to known over time. Honestly that's the one thing that I would say goes bad about software. Other than that, a lot of the "going bad" is mostly UX devs justifying their salary.

That's never happened before. I went to do my periodic check to see if Pleroma needed upgrading, and for the first time ever I was already up to date! :D

@Paultron-3030 @deprecated_ii Subarus are one of the few that don't use the lousy Nissan/Jatco transmissions, but instead one that they themselves designed, but you do need to change the fluid every 40k or so or they'll eventually slip, and that ruins things in the transmission.

@union Besides, it's unlikely to happen by Nato invading, the only way they'd go after it is if Putin decides to tell Belarus to attack the Suwałki Gap. Then it would be absolutely obvious what's happening.

@union They've threatened that enough, with enough red lines that have already been crossed, that nobody believes them anymore.

@union Preparation for Königsberg Reconquista?

@anime Already read it. Is good.

@union Disappointing since we do have our own uranium mines and had long had enrichment here, but like China with so many other things, it couldn't compete on prices, and the environmentalists go nutty and make everything much more expensive.

@thibaultamartin Standardized formats and protocols would be another thing that would help, except every provider seems to be all in on proprietary lock-in solutions.

That's why I self-host for the moment. That, and that it would be hundreds of dollars per month to store my data on the cloud at this point.

@technobaboo (That said, I certainly agree with implementing Wayland in as many things as possible, I even use it with Hyprland, but I don't believe in trying to kill X11 entirely.)

@technobaboo This is why the Steamdeck uses Gamescope, a Wayland compositor in handheld mode, but uses X11 when it kicks over to Desktop mode. Use what is best and most mature for each task.

As for "It wasn't just devs trying to impose some ideology, it wasn't some corporate takeover.", it can be two things. It can both be a good solution for many tasks they're pursuing, AND be something that Redhat is trying to jam down everyone's throat because they don't want to keep X11 around in their OS anymore, and if they were the ones removing it alone and nobody else was, they would get criticism for removing it.

@zaitcev Waffle House IS very good. I don't get to go to it very often since the closest one is like a 5 hour drive away.

@AlexLW @Cheeseness Some Australian group mobbed the credit card companies about it, and the credit card companies caved to their demands to get some specific adult games banned from Steam and Itch.IO, but because Itch doesn't have the bandwidth to vet every NSFW game and make sure it doesn't have the specific things the payment processors are asking them to remove, they've apparently delisted all of them at least temporarily.

Mangadex is doing something that is messing with my normal way of using their site... Normally I open up the Updates folder, then just open everything in a new tab. Now it whines about too quick of requests and then won't let me read any more for hours if I open things in tabs.

@zaitcev @kakafarm @sun Very common misconception then, because I searched through a couple of pages of search results and found no other attribution.

@SecurityWriter So, it's a corporate thing. They want a corporation to sue if something breaks, and they don't want to assure something in house.

@SecurityWriter The cloud first thing is baffling to me. Libreoffice runs on almost everything, and you can sync things through Nextcloud... Maybe they're just leaning really hard into the "the people don't actually own any computing and we control everything."

@SecurityWriter Cloud is crap, use native? I suppose the point is that the major tech sphere, Apple/Google/Microsoft/etc, is moving towards "you don't own your computing" model while Linux, FreeBSD, etc is still trying to work in the "you own your computing and can do everything locally" model. I have my netflix equivalent, my dropbox equivalent, my google calendar equivalent, etc all running in my garage.

@zaitcev @kakafarm @sun Apparently, that was Stephen King.
