trakt works fine for me

How is that an obvious databreach? It was just bot spam, something every single public site has had issues with.

I couldn’t find a source for all of this, specifically the lapse in bodycam footage or that the backpack was brought to the precinct prior to the search. Still, if what his lawyer alleges is true, it should be ruled as an illegal search.

I havent used vscode in while but I do remember having a lot of issues with the Microsoft C++ plugin, especially in large projects. I switched to clangd very quickly.

Plus you can always just use clangd. Its what I’ve always used with every text editor that has LSP support.

This guide is pretty good, but I’ll also explains the basics here.

You pay a provider for access to Usenet files, which you locate through an indexer, and download through a client such as nzbget.

Picking a provider is the most complicated part. The guide explains how to choose one and r/Usenet has a page in their wiki for good provider deals. I use NewsDemon and they’ve been fine.

Indexers are pretty much the same as torrent indexers, they can be free or paid, public or private. NZBGeek has been great for me, and AnimeTosho is nice if you want to download anime.

The download clients work similarly to torrent clients with the addition of configuring the connection to your provider. Whichever provider you choose will have instructions for connecting to it.

Downloads aren’t peer-to-peer like torrents, so a VPN isnt as necessary, just make sure you pick a provider that doesnt keep logs. It also doesnt hurt to use one if you already pay for one and its not too slow.

One you’ve picked your provider and indexer, setting everything up is super easy.

Use Usenet instead, way faster downloads. Also lots of clients can stream torrents, so as long the torrent its being seeded well enough you can watch right away.

Worst case just go to one of the 100s of sites with free streams of basically every popular show and movie.

Thats all fair, I’m not trying to say their a better option for you or developers in general, just that they do offer features and benefits targeted at developers. I disagree with the idea that theyre only made for users with very simple needs.

Ive never run into any issues trying to build random projects or run random tools is distrobox, but I also haven’t used it as a main development tool. I prefer Nix for that.

Those tools are definitely great too, they just don’t offer the same purity because they dont handle external dependencies. Guaranteeing a reproducible build environment is something I find very valuable.

I think most users just don’t really know much about atomic distros. A lot of people in this thread don’t seem to really understand the benefits and mention downsides that don’t really exist in most of them. I think eventually (and by that I mean in a VERY long time) atomic distros will become the standard. AerynOS is an upcoming one that seems to have a really amazing blend of it’s atomic features without disrupting the user experience people expect from more typical distros. It won’t replace Nix for me, but I hope it’ll convince a lot of people to try it out.

I don’t think that’s a very accurate assessment at all. NixOS, VanillaOS, and Bluefin are three of the first atomic distro’s I think of and they’re all heavily aimed at developers. All of them offer features to help separate development environments, which improve reproducibility of packages and environments. I prefer the Nix approach to containers, but each one definitely offers benefits for software development.

I do software development and need a ton of tools installed that aren’t just “flatpaks”.

Every atomic distro supports distrobox and other containerization tools, and many support Nix and brew.

These distros are good for people who want to treat their desktop like a phone, but flatpak kinda lets you do that on any distro. Atomic distros are great for those who want to use tools to separate development environments for purity and tinker with the ability to easily rollback.

Atomic distros dont stop you from breaking them, they just make it easy to undo breakage

It looks like this works by following accessibility standards. I’m not sure if an accessibility standard for input fields on Linux, but if it does it should be possible.

Wayland supports global shortcuts using the global shortcuts portal, so it should be possible. There’s an app called espanso that automatically expands text on Wayland, I imagine similar methods could be used for this.

I would definitely recommend trying therapy. Self help and meds will both help, but, for me, therapy made the biggest difference in the long run.

Fair enough, I haven’t worked in an industry with requirements like that. Can you share an example of software you would use for a setup like that? I’m interested in learning more about it. I wonder how many companies are currently using a solution like that with Linux.

Wayland itself isn’t doing anything to prevent those solutions from working, but nobody has chosen to create a solution like that supporting Wayland. If the companies working on and funding Wayland need a solution like that, then they can make or fund it.

Right now, Wayland is good enough to be used on employee workstations for most peoples day to day work, because most people dont work at a company using a solution like you described.

After 15 years, Wayland is lacking some things X11 has, but has also far surpassed it in many ways. Linux is now usable on HiDPI and has proper color management. Companies like Redhat aren’t picking features at random, they’re prioritizing what their biggest customers need, because thats what makes money. Again, just to reiterate, Wayland supports the usecases you’ve described, but companies haven’t made software for this usecases that works with Wayland.

Wayland may not be a better replacement for you, but is sure is for a ton of users and organizations.

A lot of brands make extra creamy versions that work better in coffee imo. Some sell a barista version which is also extra creamy and designed to steam well for lattes. Theyre more calorie dense though, so you kinda lose one of the main benefits. My favorite milk for lattes is ultra-filtered whole milk.

SpeedRunners, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Duck Game, Towerfall Ascension, and Stick Fight are some of my favorites. Crawl is also really good, but a bit more complex so depends on the age of the kids. Also can never go wrong with a platform fighter, Rivals of Aether 2 is great.

Rustdesk is an alright remote desktop option, although it definitely far from perfect. Wayland offers the support remote desktop needs, this is just up to someone wanting a solution enough to make it.

I agree that the “every frame being perfect” thing was dumb, but tearing support exists so its not really a complaint anymore.

Nvidia does work fine on every major Wayland implementation.

Screensharing works fine.

I understand the disappointment in how long Wayland is taking to be a perfect replacement to X11, but a proper replacement should absolutely not be rushed. X11 released 40 years ago, 15 years to make a replacement with better security and more features is fine.

Wayland has put a huge emphasis on improved security, which is also one of the biggest reasons some features have taken so long. This is a good thing, rushing insecure implementations of features is a horrible idea for modern software that will hopefully last a long time.

In its current state, Wayland is already good for the large majority of use cases.

What issues do half of your X11 apps? Ive never had an issue with an X11 app running through Xwayland, although I also dont have many X11 apps left.

Plasma and Hyprland already have one
