  • The demographics of those affected are particularly useful politically.

    • The Lawfare Podcast - 20231010 - Special Edition: Noah Efron on the Awful Quiet of This Moment

    @19m58s - Noah Efron

    …the outpouring of grief has been universal and completely undifferentiated, I mean, to be really crass about it, the thousand people who were killed are—almost all of them are the kinds of people who you would see at a protest on a Saturday night. They’re almost all leftist, they’re almost all secular

    @26m24s - Noah Efron

    …people will be judging every move that the army makes and every move that the government makes: is it humane or inhumane, is it effective or ineffective, is it too weak; and they will be screaming one at the other, they will be dissatisfied, they will be angry, and then within the country as well it will not be long before—and in fact we have already begun to see some of this—before some people in the government say, you know, the reason why Hamas launched a thousand people with handheld rockets and with automatic guns to go house-to-house and murder children and their parents is because those left-wingers who are protesting every week gave them the idea that we are weak

  • No, it isn’t. Wayland is a toy for people who play. X11 is a tool for people who work.

    The concept of work is relative. See below.

    Won’t be long now before your your favorite DE’s will only be available on Wayland, and be missing features because of it.

    That doesn’t concern me at all personally—and if I wore your temperament on my sleeve, DEs should get the fuck away from X11 altogether.

    My use case requirements have never involved DEs, and if I ever want to flirt with that kind of casual experience it may as well be with new boobs like Wayland.

    I could huff “get off my lawn” just as hard as any other, but why? Let people choose whatever they want.


  • It does not FULLY replace X11 functionality, and they have no intent to fix that.

    No kidding. That’s the entire mission statement of Wayland.

    Why go backwards and break what works for our daily jobs?

    Nothing is stopping you from using X11 outside of company policy, which is an entirely different problem.

    It fucking moronic.

    No it’s not.

    I’m a longtime user of X11 and vastly prefer it for what I do, but I’m not going to force the opinion of my preference on others with different use case requirements.

    C’mon, the *nix world is big enough for choice.
