So for 20 years, it wasn’t possible for anyone but BlackBerry to manufacture phones with the revolutionary technology of… checks notes… keyboards, and now that it is irrelevant to modern devices, is free for anyone to use.

Patents should be abolished.

With those stupid sunglasses.

Yes, mainly Analytics, sometimes Maps.

Imagine having access to most of the world’s herbs, spices and meats, yet the only culturally significant meal of you country is fish and chips.

We are farther in time from the release of Odyssey than the release of Odyssey was from the release of Galaxy 2.

She would arguably be better, because she doesn’t provide gambling services to minors.

Right, but neither Cyprus, Turkey or Canada have territory in Europe.

There is precedent (Cyprus, as well as Turkey previously wanting to join).

Why? My mom is 70 and has used Mint for a decade. She isn’t computer savvy but has little issues with her laptop. It works mostly the same as Windows, and is fine for her usage (Web browsing and emails).

But… but… Epic funded the game, this means they physically cannot put it on Steam! Nevermind the dozens of games on Steam published by owners of competing platforms, such as UbiSoft, Activision, Sony, CDPR, EA…

Global hotkey handling, copy and paste, screenshots, etc are part of the protocol but need to be implemented by every compositor. X is better for this; the server handles all of this and delegates window management to the WM.

org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts allows apps to request a global shortcut binding from the compositor.

A hypothetical Wayland server could implement the same protocol, so apps would talk to it instead of to the compositor, which would then focus on managing windows instead of implementing all of Wayland.

It’s still vaporware but most compositors implement all features now.

As for colors, HDR works with AMD GPUs.

from the compositor

Man, in only there were a way to have all essential features in a centralized Wayland server, with compositors only handling window management instead of everything including copy/paste or global hotkeys… Alas, the technology just isn’t there yet.

This is a genius move by the creators of Wayland. By not having any feature whatsoever but instead relying on compositors to do anything even if not related to windows management, they can deflect all criticism!

I can’t believe an objectively true claim gets downvoted.

Not in languages where you don’t manually handle memory, such as PHP, SQL, Python… Higher-level languages using 0-indexed arrays are letting the abstraction leak.

I just checked, and OSM has it as Persian Gulf, with the alternative name Arabian Gulf.

Is this another ReactOS situation, or does this have a chance to actually become usable as a daily driver?

Why does the knife have fresh blood on it if the victim is already buried? 🤔
