If a certain group of workers is too critical to be allowed to strike, then they're too critical to be forced to work in poor conditions. "Back to work" legislation should not exist to bind the workers, but bind the companies.

"Sorry, you're too important to Canada's infrastructure, you can't be allowed to mistreat your workers. As punishment for letting it get this bad, you must agree to ALL of their terms, and in return, they'll begin working first thing tomorrow. Guess you should have been more agreeable BEFORE the strike."

I dunno, forcing strikes to end in any situation seems dangerously close to forced labour. But maybe I'm just a dirty commie.

Yes, it would be best to make requests directly on GitHub.

I've used Libby without a SIM card.

I really like antennapod. It works really well for all of my podcasts.

Agreed. Except the part about 4:3 video. That's just upsetting to think about. "Widescreen" (anywhere from 16:9 to the 1.85:1 often used in movies) is acceptable, 4:3 is far too cramped for a pleasant viewing experience.

If you're watching on anything other than certain laptop screens, you're likely to have pillarboxing which is just wasted space that could be beautiful landscapes, helpful information, or artistic framing.

Truly a person of refined taste.

Check your local bike shop. Most brands have good offerings, it mostly depends on what's available nearby. Giant, Norco, Trek, Specialized, Marin, Cannondale, all have good offerings, and there are great smaller brands too.

If there are any really specific features you want, then you should choose a model first, otherwise, ask the salespeople, that's what they're good for!

Keep in mind that these transitional periods in software can be painful, but generally the replacement is aimed to be painless.

The nice thing about Wayland is that development is mature enough that we can see where it's headed, even if it's not all complete. Most of the available options that use Wayland make it pretty seamless. You won't have to relearn much between sway and i3. You also won't have to relearn anything switching to Wayland in the future if you are already using GNOME or KDE Plasma, for example..

[–] T0RB1T@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The reason is Wayland.

Largely the only difference between i3 and Sway is that i3 is built for X, and Sway uses wlroots, a Wayland compositor. Sway was designed to function as a drop-in replacement for i3, your config should even be 99% compatible.

Since X is essentially a dead project, and Wayland is supposed to be the next step... some people want to make an effort to move away from X... Some people don't.

But it's not really about "visual stuff". It's about technical debt, and a bunch of stuff I don't understand.

YaST is the reason that when I'm considering distro-hopping again, I don't.

I'm pretty sure I'm legally required to post this anytime someone says they use Manjaro.

Manjaro was the first thing to get me to stop distro-hopping, so it pains me to admit that historically, it's been a very messy project. I've since moved onto openSUSE Tumbleweed and love it (I've also dabbled in NixOS, but it's a lot more hardcore).

If anyone wants the ease of Manjaro, with an Arch base, my understanding is that you should consider EndeavourOS.

Also, if you like i3 but want to use Wayland for any of its superior features, consider SwayWM.
