Damm. What colour is girl pee then?

Maybe, but I don't think Musk is running twitter for money. He's probably doing what every billionaire is doing. Buying media to shape public opinion. Turning twitter right leaning to build public support for conservative policies that will benefit his other business is probably the play.

Why worry losing 20bn when he could gain 50bn for SpaceX(SeX. Just seen that...) and Tesla? Sounds like a good return on investment.

Let's keep burning our fossil fuels. Keep going on air travel. Concrete everything. Deforest it all. Keep not investing in green energy. Not cut down on waste. Not reduce consumption, but let's stop eating meat. It's all down to us. It's all on us. Not industry.

Environmental issues used to be multifaceted and commonly accepted that environmental impact was baked in at design phase, but nowadays it feels like a vegan religion. A purity test. It doesn't bring people on the journey, it just pushes people away. It's better everyone cuts 30% emissions, rather than 1% of people cutting 60%, and the rest not caring after being constantly shamed and told what to do.

Social media seems to have really dumbed down this issue.

A community for this works. For example !community_requests@lemmy.ml I think. Just needs someone to request and someone with access to respond. For that, it doesn't need to be built in. Long term, it's probably a handy feature though.

That sounds like a great education setup. Hope we mirror that in the west.

It doesn't and other software should and will fulfil those purposes. It has for many users and with a few years, will have for most. How do you think some distros run only on Wayland? What are they missing?

It was actually created because of design issues in x11 that prevented certain solutions to modern problems. I think there was also certain security concerns. I did read a blog about this previously.

No one spends their free time writing software for years out of frustration only. I gather you don't make open source software...

Do you have evidence it is unmaintained?

Last commit years ago?

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Over complex software that does everything is potentially stupid. The fact x11 devs went to build Wayland. Its funny how those that build x11 can be critical of the software they build but users cannot. When software becomes a religion.

They don't need to think about display servers. Just update and it will resolve itself. You're overcomplicating things and scaring people away from Linux.

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Very good point. Mr x11 expert maybe seems pissed he's gotta learn a new tech and refuses to, so will bash it and hope it goes away. But if they were an expert, they'd probably know the things you mentioned.

It is designed to lack features. It has a purposefully limited scope. Bashing it for it's goal is weird.

It does give anti-SystemD "why make new when what we got now is good vibes".

Their Java bashing was more a criticism of design patterns than Java, but fell into the meme bashing of tech based on one example. Find an old bug and say tech is dreadful as a result.
