  • False. Browsers can announce themselves as desktop or mobile, or even advertise pre-determined fake window and screen sizes for this purpose (in Firefox it's called "letterboxed" in the hidden settings). There is no need for a server to have any of this information anyway - either the design of the webpage should be responsive by default, or the server can send specifically whichever files for styles the browser specifically asks for, perhaps falling back to a "all.css" or something.

  • My use case is pretty much having a normal, usable, standard desktop environment where I can do workflows supported by features such as:

    • using a screen recording program to, ya know, record the screen;
      • ...without having to buy more into the so-called portals cartel (that is also adding age verification);
    • opening programs with their windows being opened in the workspace, screen and at least approximate positioning where I last used then;
      • being able to drag-and-drop or relocate windows across screens, workspaces or any such entities;
    • launch graphical applications as a different user and have them interact natively with the rest of the desktop (eg.: fullscreen correctly);
    • have a fucking clipboard!;
      • with the Linux-classic middle-click alternate clipboard, too.
    • assign a hotkey or keycombo for an application, that can be fired from anywhere else in the desktop;
    • being able to manufacture input events for keyboard, mouse, joystick etc... for when there are issues;
    • being able to launch the window of a program opened remotely;
    • programs using the graphical theme I've assigned for window decoration, instead of inventing their own titlebars and min/maximize buttons;
    • being able to drag-and-drop files from one window to another;
    • and many others.

    The last time I tried Wayland was in 2023-ish. The fucking thing could not even finish the startup for a desktop session in my machine. It's honestly the worst vaporware I've ever seen, and I've been around since the '90s. I feel like these things will never ever be truly fixed, because from what I understand of the Wayland model, it is intrinsically about treating the user as an enemy:

    "We're treated like hostile threat actors on our own workstations" [1]

    [1] https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d1f2277

    Which is, ultimately, worrying. Things like Pulseaudio, systemd, Wayland, ..., feel like they are making Linux less for the user and more for corporations. It's enshittification, and comes from a culture of enshittification (Potter-ing etc).

  • With all the crazy stuff going around in the world, "Wayland adds an actually useful feature that is basically core to a system tasked with managing windows" was not in my 2026 Bingo card. Kudos to them for finally doing it I guess.

    Maybe by 2038 this thing will finally be usable, just in time to roll over the 32-bit grave.

  • Linux kernel maintainer says Al has suddenly become useful for devs: 'We can't ignore this stuff. It's coming up, and it's getting better"

    Jump

  • It reduces the foothold available for AI-free projects, in particular once "big enough" projects like Firefox or Linux get infected. Since there is significant inertia to switching to, or even developing, an alternative (a web browser might have been casual dev in 1998; right now it almost requires a Corporation to coast the development). Also it normalizes the idea of having AI in development, which is in itself dangerous.

  • With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready?

    Jump

  • A fair warning when joining Piefed: they incorporate a number of CCP-style "Social Credit" underhanded measures, so any criticism of eg.: "tankies" from that side is if anything at least negligently myopic.

  • With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready?

    Jump

  • A local community also makes it much easier to check humanity vs botness. Just summon the members to an open meeting at the local cat café and exchange GPG keys or something, like in the good ol' days.

  • With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready?

    Jump

  • chances are worse than not that there’s no activity in the community built for that one game.

    Bold of you to assume there even is a community instead of just a random mention in !games@insta.nce !

  • Linux kernel maintainer says Al has suddenly become useful for devs: 'We can't ignore this stuff. It's coming up, and it's getting better"

    Jump

  • Unfortunately AI has gotten ahold of several projects so it's not as easy to ignore. And with Linux itself being on the list, it seems the time comes for the community to migrate to Haiko or BSD.

  • "FOSS" and "GNU Linux" do not automatically mean "for the community" or "for human rights"

    Jump

  • Sure, evil people already don't respect licenses, but also ATM we don't even have a legal framework to take the fight to them. With an Ethical Use of Software license, we would (getting us the actual power to use that legal framework is left an exercise to the political reader).

  • "FOSS" and "GNU Linux" do not automatically mean "for the community" or "for human rights"

    Jump

  • And that's why such a license would be for. For when we manage to organize and revolt into a better world, that we actually can use the power to pursue infringers. Call it prep work, if you would.

  • What’s your opinion on tags.pub?

    Jump

  • "Hashtags-as-a-service"? I can't see why we'd need this. Hashtags already exist.

  • We're catching strays at the No Kings protest!

    Jump

  • Fun thing.

    Back in the day, I left Fedora and RH-based distros in general precisely because of the racist attitude of their communities and official sites towards Latin American users, including attempts at profiling on their community support channels. I guess not much has changed since then.

  • "FOSS" and "GNU Linux" do not automatically mean "for the community" or "for human rights"

    Jump

  • The GPL licenses, as written, forbid developers from forbidding their software to be used for evil.

    We need a new model, something like Ethical Software Freedom licenses.

  • MX Linux Takes Clear Stance Against Age Verification Requirements

  • Fedora is literally the "the first dose is free" of Linux enshittification under corporate (RedHat), plus is legally tied to US jurisdiction. They've never been trusworthy.

  • Is there a way to turn on the screen programmatically in Wayland (KDE Plasma 6)?

    Jump

  • Hahahaha! Wayland sucks so much you users can't even turn the screen on or off.

    Welp, time to return to physical switches I guess!
