They/Them
I will be forced to, but x11 is no longer being developed, so its not very secure to do so
additionally, Wayland is going to be default on kde, and Im not sure if that means that it’ll be default for me too if I update
not to mention that with it default on KDE, I’ll be running into more and more bugs that just, will not be fixed, because “use Wayland” will be the new response to bug reports (GNOME actively does this with a critical GTK4/libadwaita bug)
the point is, Wayland is being rushed and was never ready for default
still frustrating as all hell, these programs just worked on x11
also Synergy/Barrier/etc dont work yet and would need “non standard” protocols. Pretty critical for me
I am an enduser and I just expect things to work, but one of the most critical things of my setup wont
sighh, that sucks
does this go for pretty much all programs, like say an email client too? or is there a limit to this?
wait so you’re telling me I’m gonna be forced to use spectacle on wayland if I use KDE?
I’m told screenshots now work on wayland. The idea was that spectacle would not have worked on wayland because of how locked down it is
that’s something
I’ve heard that synergy/barrier/etc doesn’t work though and that is critical for my daily workflow so I won’t be switching until it is supported
oh I see you’re that kinda person
No means no
can you not do this? lets keep this disingenuous behavior over on reddit
no its not, consent is important
I do not consent to having my bodily waste be enjoyed by my toilet
Every time I learn more about what Wayland can’t do, I learn of even more critical stuff that doesn’t work
no screenshots? really? who approved this trashfire as default. That’s about as ridiculous as no global hotkeys
I’m not so much in favor of IP law as I am in favor of informed consent in every aspect of the word.
when posting photos, art and text content years ago, I was not able to imagine it might be trained off by an AI. As such I was not able to make a decision based on informed consent if I agreed to that or not.
Even though quotes such as “once you post it, its on the internet forever” were around, I was not aware the extend to which this reached and that had my art been vacuumed by a generative AI model (it hasnt luckily) people could create art that pretends to be created by me. Thus I could not consent
I think this goes for a lot of artists actually, especially those who exist far more publicly than I do, who are in those databases and who are a keyword to be used in prompts. There is no possible way they could have given informed consent to that at the time they posted art/at the time they started that social media profile/youtube channel etc.
To me, this is the real problem. I could care less about corporations.
exactly this, I’ll use it when it works with no questions asked. I.e: when it becomes invisible to me as an enduser
as for now, it isn’t, far from it
fucking what synergy doesn’t work on Wayland? welp. I use that daily and no, that’s not optional, its rather critical for my setup
can’t violate the prime direggtive
you’re right, I kinda let past experiences cloud my judgment for a bit there, and missed that you were doing the right thing,my apologies for that
sadly the fact that I did does point to the very problem I described.
that said I hope you can get somewhere and improve things, my apologies for the mix up
because a lot of foss devs, contributers and even users are so extremely hostile when suggesting ux improvement/report bugs/etcetc for end users not like them that frankly I dont wanna bother. Same reason I don’t report bugs
maybe first tackle that situation before you ask people to throw themselves into what effectively is a lion’s den to mauled by fossbros who can’t get over themselves
I’m not a she but otherwise yes I agree
for the end user, that is irrelevant
the day it got leaked I tried it and I can verify that it works. They probably fixed it already I’m guessing
