I did read it and it is honestly not that complicated. The SEC is being generous here. They could make the argument even if there were no validators. But I hope this is the start of them shutting down the validators too.
ETH is operating and trading with the US. It falls under US jurisdiction. The line of "we are not registered anywhere therefore we don't have to follow laws in any jurisdiction" is pretty weak and farcical. And sorry to…

If you take that angle then crypto will still never be a legitimate investment class either way, because all of it (including BTC and ETH and everything else) is a giant fraud predicated on the falsehood that it is…

You might also want to note that the fantasy of being able to use the same protocol to drive the local display and also operate over a network, is long dead. It seems like a clever idea but it doesn't actually work. It…
You can make all the arguments you want but it won't do anything meaningful. If those 1000x people expressing opinions have the necessary domain expertise, and aren't just tossing out their feelings on what they think…

But GNOME has zero reason to implement server side decorations in Wayland. All GNOME apps use client side decorations and have done so for years. The other major toolkits (Qt and Electron) have also added support for…

That's not really relevant. You can personally choose to not use Electron apps, but many people cannot or do not want to choose to do that. Like it or not, it's a thing now. I've noticed a lot of developers seem to have…
That is a correct conclusion, in the same way that many issues with X features are not actually issues with the X server. Over the years a lot of things have been moved out of the X server into client libraries, or into…
That's not a good comparison because it would be even harder to write your own X server. And yet X is still extremely fragmented. And developing a new compositor also does not require wlroots. Originally there was…
This is a result of them learning lessons from X history. The lesson from X is that mouse configuration absolutely does not belong in the display protocol and should not require futzing around with editing a root-owned…
>You're being vague here, but I suspect by "biased results" you mean they produced a racial (and perhaps gender) makeup you don't like. No, you are completely and utterly wrong on that. This is more of the same…
No, it is not the opposite. That suggestion is just restating the question. They already tried to build a system that uses merit and qualifications alone, and the complaint is how doing that has led to extremely biased…
If by "the DEI people" you mean "students who were only able to be there because someone made a conscious effort to do diversity outreach" then yes. They would be opposed to someone suggesting that they should stop the…
Lightning network and other Layer 2 solutions are a joke. Those are only created because the Bitcoin network was intentionally designed to be slow and congested, to make it artificially expensive, and waste ridiculous…
Most of your comment is pretty bad misinformation. X11 was not designed to use Xrender. That was an optional extension that came later. And on many drivers, the drawing of XRender is still not actually GPU accelerated…
Sorry, I didn't clarify. The bug was fixed with some use of pixmaps, in other situations it's still broken. It sounds like the vast majority of apps you use are very old. Even plain productivity apps benefit from GPU…
That flag has been broken for years: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70387 I doubt it will ever be fixed, because it offers no benefits when the application itself uses actual hardware rendering with GL or Vulkan.…
You can still do that with systemd though. If you want to swap out some components then just don't use those features in your unit file, instead have your unit file run a shell script that uses your components. The…
