I don't think the regular user even knows what WebGL and WASM are, they will just wonder why their browser game isn't working and then google the cryptic setting that they have to change to get it to work.
No. I don't want to continue this discussion based on this line of questioning, sorry. Let's be good people and not fight, I'm sure you're a kind soul.
>but the integrity questions still remain. For those previous elections? No, they don't. The elections themselves are settled. You are asking questions about something different which is future elections, that's an…
I've read about plenty of this, all of that is completely normal. Every election people will try to game the system. It happens. We deal with it on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes we do a better job than other times.…
>It's like a blueprint for what to review further. Why? Something going viral on social media is not proof or evidence that it happened or not. And as you know, without these policies anyone can spread false information…
>You could strip out systemd and put in a custom init system that doesn't conform to the typical Unix daemon startup expectations. I actually don't think you can do this, or would even want to. Systemd doesn't really do…
You spent a lot of time explaining this and I agree with everything you said. But that's a really long-winded technologist's way of putting it. I'd personally phrase in a simpler way: music is useless and has no value.…
I tried really hard to like SerenityOS but I think the decision to make it a UNIX-like POSIX system is a mistake. The POSIX API is outdated and broken in a lot of ways. I wish people would stop making UNIX-like…
With a reputation system you'd still want to do your due diligence and manually check things. Even the most trustworthy people make honest mistakes sometimes.
Blind people can also get malware...
Not sure about other browsers but this is incorrect for Chrome and Firefox. They both have flags to disable WebGL and WASM. Please be careful not to spread misinformation, we owe it to ourselves to research our posts…
Well I don't usually need to connect audio from Firefox directly into a DAW or synthesizer. And technically that could still be done with Jack, it's just a bit harder to do because you have to create additional…
Sorry, I don't mean the article is trolling or bad-faith. What I mean is that the author seems to have been trolled and the article is only responding to that trolling. That's just my guess after seeing this 4chan wiki…
I'm not a GNOME developer and I have no idea what you mean by self-righteous. I don't particularly care what the "right" way to do things is, I can only notice areas where there are problems and then give suggestions.…
I think they break third party apps because it's a real pain to keep maintaining a bunch of incompatible old versions of an API forever. Also your last paragraph doesn't follow to me because the whole reason these apps…
>Really? You think programs can't just load all of the libraries in a given directory? They can't, a library implements a specific API. >except they still boil down to the exact same interface. "Button X was pressed...…
I can't agree, ever since jack2 I actually never had any problem getting it to work with pulse. You may be thinking of jack1. Pipewire does make it easier to do this though.
In my opinion, that article is pretty insubstantial and is mostly just responding to the same 4chan trolling mentioned in this wiki. It's just not a productive line of discussion and doesn't make any sense in the actual…
>Your assumption that everyone cares about this is false, there's no "misconceptions" here. The only misconception is the one that GNOME is the center of the Linux universe... which is tacitly untrue. I never said that…
>I understand that you use GNOME and are passionate about it, but your insistence on right and wrong answers is absolutely not what drives the Linux community. So your statements here aren't correct. Please avoid…
>Not every application needs a UI toolkit. There are also a lot of UI toolkits. Now many of them struggle with the fairly unimpressive task of displaying a window with reasonable looking borders. That's not a good user…
I've noticed a lot of smaller creativity/productivity apps are not available in distro repos. They're far too niche to get attention from distro packagers. However a lot of them are in Flathub and they work on any…
Sorry I misread your comment, ignore me. Although I will add: It might be possible that someone gets high-DPI working eventually in XWayland. It's unlikely that X11 will ever support multi-DPI in the same way as…
If this is working correctly on other apps, then it's probable that Chrome's Wayland support is not complete yet.
Use of the term "alsa" is confusing here because ALSA refers to both the kernel interface in /dev and the userspace API in alsalib. The ALSA userspace API is mostly not relevant to applications, new apps probably will…
