gnasches teeth at $something because of $article subscribe now for more teeth gnashing goodness!

Dialup deathmatch FTW!

labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.

There are a bunch of environment variables that I set this time though, which may have contributed to a better experience this time.

One of these years my children will discover the PS3 hidden unused in the entertainment center since they were born, and there’ll be 2mil+1. Muhaha.

If I were a new user, I’d consider using such a tool. I guess I’ll see myself out. ;-)

That indeed changes things, potentially introducing much more bias. What motivation would somebody have to install this tool and run it? Is it being marketed/advertised somehow? How, where, and to whom? :-P

People who voluntarily report usage are more likely to be new users, experimenting with Linux distributions etc. Greybeards like me will check out new stuff every few months or years, and won’t shout about it one way or another. We’ll probably not send statistics when prompted, either.

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/caps-lock-behaviour-wayland/79868/8 seems relevant.

PFS matters where a party hasn’t already been compromised. Not so hard.

Read up on perfect forward secrecy and TLS.

And yes, a jurisdiction could compel them to break their security, depending on laws and ability to threaten.

IF TLS is used AND configured optimally on both ends, THEN the in transit message contents should be very secure, in that transient session keys were used.

I would be interested to know how often those two preconditions hold true though.

Of course, this is only one small link in the chain. There aint no magic bullet.

Probably not your issue, but high dpi mice and some wine games don’t mix well. I bought a cheap low dpi usb mouse after discovering this.

If you want fast GPS coordinates, then you give more location hints. Local privacy regulations apply.

As a primary Linux user who wrote his own X tool to do exactly this and has been missing this functionality on Mac - thank you!

I’ll send my unpublished code your way soon. It’s just Go, relying on the WM (run command shortcuts) to call it. Move+Resize and Focus functionality.

It won’t work on Wayland, which seems to require native compositor support - labWC is halfway there.

edit: check your PMs

I’ve had the most luck with heroic games launcher for Epic. I guess anti-cheat will be problematic for multiplayer games on epic.

Can confirm. I’ve been using Linux for nearly 30 years… I don’t post questions on forums. Bug reports for OSS projects, on the other hand…

And how does MuseScore compare to a pen & paper and upright piano in terms of quality?

Also a dbus notification daemon (whichever you use) may be having problems. Things hang inexplicably if it’s not running.

TinyLinux (booting from DOS), Slackware, Debian for many years, Ubuntu, Debian, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch for 10+ years.

RH/CentOS/Amazon Linux for work these last 20 years.

I switched to Arch because ubuntu & debian started asking too many interactive questions when upgrading packages, instead of just upgrading. Arch gets out of my way, and has great documentation if something unexpected should break.

Excellent. Now I don’t have to evacuate for category 5 hurricanes anymore. That will save me some stress.
