For what it’s worth, I regularly switch depending on what I’m doing (AwesomeWM for X11 and Hyprland for Wayland)

If you’re fine with Wayland, go with Wayland. There are lots of reasons still that people might prefer X11 but the list has been getting shorter.

• The security model of Wayland is more restrictive than necessary for many users and means things like screen sharing and desktop toys are harder and not universally implemented or doable.
• Wayland effectively requires many things to be handled by the same process, preventing traditional modular environments (e.g. separating window manager from compositor no longer possible)
• Explicit compositor support required for more features, meaning having a feature complete environment in small projects is much harder, and the design of Wayland tends to promote a few large desktop environments rather than many small window managers.
• NVidia’s support for Wayland is still improving
• Wayland can’t rotate your screen to be on an angle to maximise the length of a line
• Several programs I rely on don’t support Wayland well yet
  • Steam doesn’t stream from Wayland
  • Transparent bits of FreeCAD show the background instead of what’s behind them
  • Code-OSS required a very silly workaround for decent font rendering, although I think this might have been fixed in electron

Mono is owned by WineHQ

And there are other tools that use the same database format. I use keepassDX and keepassXC

You can also do that in Tubular, if you prefer a FOSS option

Catima can also handle pkpass (Apple wallet) files now, although last I checked it chokes on “pkpasses”, the zipped collective version

How about Usenet (1980)?

Mozilla doesn’t run Thunderbird

I really hope this doesn’t impact the client too significantly. A substantial part of why I use Thunderbird is to keep out of these “ecosystems”.

In essence keepass is an open database format and a bunch of different software tools have been written to interact with it. You can quite happily share the same keepass database between different software, e.g. synced between desktop and mobile

You might want to wait until after the May election to see whether Australia is immune to the rise of fascism.

You don’t happen to know what whereabouts in legislation that’s detailed, do you?

Every character there is working class, so I’m imagining in this case “regardless of class” is implicitly “regardless of perceived class”

The closest thing I’ve seen is Combobulate

Bit of an interesting contrast with Amazon, who encourages leaking

Among other things it lets you define the return type in terms of the arguments to the function.

Guess my aeroplane mode is never turning off now.

For the topic of the thread I’ll throw in “toilets that are so bad at flushing that you need to keep a plunger next to them”

The only time I’ve owned a plunger was in a house with a broken clay sewer pipe that was about to kick the bucket.

Wordless instructions make the world a more equitable place by making everyone equally frustrated

Radeon Open Compute Mplatform

I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were “good now”. I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and…

I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a “new hardware” issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.
