There was no blowup, Reddit both received more funding and their advertising earnings increased. A 21% revenue growth in 2023, I’d say also active user growth but I’m not entirely sure.

But it was the X protocol that needed to be replaced.

I think usually people need it for a specific use-case. I maintain a GUI app for Linux, Windows and macOS. All I need to do is generate and test a binary sometimes.

I think that we don’t know the whole picture but if they’re canceling VPN, Relay and Monitor it’s because they’re not making enough money on those services. I also think the new CEO feels they’re spread too thin and need to focus resources on core products, which might be a good thing. They’ve gotten a lot of flak for trying different things.

Just be careful about trying to run your AppImages on a distro with for example only FUSEv3, because there are system dependencies.

I tried out Arch for a while. The AUR is a bit of a wild west and at least I found it important to vet packages before installing them. It was a hassle. The same reason I only use one package from the OBS on Tumbleweed now.

I don’t believe iOS and Android use immutable filesystems to the extent some Linux distros do, like openSuse Aeon, Fedora Silverblue, Nixos, etc. iOS and Android just make it more difficult to gain root access.

Today I was looking up how to do something in a game I’m playing, there were some videos about it, usual formula starting with “Sup guys!”, intros, ads for the channel, and fluff, “remember to press like”, oh and a bunch of videos that may or may not contain the answer.

The answer could be written in 5 words, basically what key to press.

Well, LLMs base their answers on content scraped from the web and those same online forums.

Interesting question. If a binary is available you can sideload already, you’d have to put the phone in Developer Mode and use either XCode or one of the 3rd party tools for macos or Windows to install it. Main question is how easy it’d be to find a trustable official Mozilla binary.

I don’t really care but I have a 512GB drive, a few extra GB of NVidia packages or whatever means nothing. I just enjoy the containerization and not having to give it my root password to install things. I’m not on an immutable distro and not having an app invade my core system (in whatever way the packager felt necessary) feels really good.

I’m watching the immutable space though, once it matures a bit more might try it. openSuse has an elegant and simple take on it with BTRFS snapshots.

Also they’ve submitted not only bug reports but numerous fixes in many components not even belonging to them but applicable to any ARM systems and in some cases even AMD64. Their productivity is mad, their attitude awesome and they’ve benefited the entire open source community. Thank you to the Asahi Linux team!

There won’t be a joining of efforts but COSMIC seems like it may be the DE that many are looking for, it has a way to go though, we’ll see.

It’s a human thing, this is all social media. It’ll happen here as well if enough people join a conversation and especially if the userbase expands. Everyone just want to have their say/get attention without checking the other comments.

because it’s unsafe or something

It’s one of those bits that haven’t been done yet. The protocol extension is being discussed as there are a lot more different use-cases than one would think and a number of ways to do it. Wayland is great but nothing is perfect and this is one of its weaknesses: evolving it takes time as we’re afraid of getting it wrong.

I prefer Linux and I’m OK with macOS. Windows on the other hand I dislike, it has bloated complex middleware and tries to control me like a hand puppet. I can work on it but given the choice I go elsewhere.

I’m not sure OP sounds like someone who into reading Arch News, learning about pacnew/pacsave, etc. that’s more for hobbyists. An ubuntu flavor or something like Zorin might be better for them and then stick with it and solve any problem that may show up.

It’s most like due to power governor and scheduler behaviors. If there’s background activity impacting the test it would more likely be Defender.

Kinda an Apple product. I was hoping for the Schlage Encode Plus with Homekit support. I’m quadriplegic and locking/unlocking my front door is really physically difficult. And maybe a Homepod that can function as Thread/Homekit hub.
