I think the argument is pretty solid as an alternative to writing PKGBUILDs yourself. Sure it doesn’t hold up for people unfamiliar, but Arch is build on the idea of getting yourself familiar with it.

I have some days off until new years. Will try to put it up and update this comment. Interested to hear what improvements people come up with!

Using Garuda Linux with KDE. Installed this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git

Wrote some scripts that performs the switching like it’s being done on ChimeraOS & the Steam Deck. Want to release them in a repository some time, but they’re awfully hacky right now.

Explained by someone that doesn’t know the technical side super well.

1: It’s a new protocol for displaying. The main difference from X11, as I understand it, is a simplification of the stack. Eliminating the need for a display server, or merging the display server and compositor.

2: Some things impossible (or difficult) with X11 are much better supported in Wayland. Their not necessarily available, as the Wayland protocol is quite generic and needs additional protocols for further negotiation. Examples are fractional scaling & multiple displays with differing refresh rates.

Security is also improved. X11 did not make some security considerations (as it is quite old, maybe justifiably so). In X11 it’s possible for any application to “look” at the entire display. In Wayland they receive a specific section that they can draw into and use. (This has the side-effect of complicating stuff like redshifting the screen at night, but in my experience that has fully caught up).

3: If you’re interested, are in desktop application development (but I have no experience in that regard) or have a specific need for Wayland.

4: I think X won’t die for a long long time if “ever”. I’m not super familiar with desktop app development, but I don’t think it requires more work to keep supporting X.

On the other hand, most of the complaints about Wayland I’ve heard were ultimately about support. At some point, when you’re a normal user, the distro maintainer should be able to decide to move to Wayland without you noticing, apart from the blurriness being gone with fractional scaling.

Seems like they at least could’ve made the page have a no-cache header so you don’t have to wipe the cache & history by hand.

Here’s why

Human rights

Do I understand correctly Deutsche bank got immunity from a 156 million euro fine for its information that lead to a 26 million euro fine for Rabobank? Seems weird they got immunity for a (way) higher fine then resulted from their info.

If what the first commenter said is true. They will just implement RCS or an alternative in the EU and make up some reason why they can’t or won’t for the US market.

Alternatively: Hauk

(No idea how they compare)

Yeah, I fear we might have to go for something like that in the long run as well. Feels bad when the browser is capable enough to handle it but is just missing the interfaces.

Ik ben het eens met je analyse, toch zie ik de risico’s en uitwerkingen wat anders.

Jammer dat ik nu geen mailservice kan selfhosten. Maar ik ben wel blij dat ik mijn mail bij protonmail kan afnemen en nog steeds gmail addressen kan bereiken. Die situatie in socialmedia land is nu nog erger. Je kiest voor 1 bedrijf en that’s it. Als dat in de toekomst meer als het huidige email wordt; een aantal grote bedrijven die de grootste instanties draaien, misschien wat kleinere bedrijven die kleinere instanties draaien en je persoonlijke instantie daar mee verbinden is niet haalbaar. Lijkt mij de situatie niet zoals mijn ideaalbeeld, maar wel beter dan nu, dan kan je tenminste een beetje kiezen.

Dat dat dan een slechte invloed zou hebben op de instanties zoals deze, snap ik niet zo goed. Iedereen die hier zit, neem ik van aan dat ze met reden van reddit af zijn gestapt (of nooit op hebben gezeten). Die willen niet dat dit in handen is van een aantal grote bedrijven en ik heb er vertrouwen in dat we koppig genoeg zijn niet allemaal naar threads toe te gaan zodra ze instanties gaan weren en/of features maken die niet in de standaard zitten. Er kan ons niks worden opgelegd.
