Ah. The Big Lie again, eh?

There's no pollution problem; there's no issue with plastic; the seas are as full of fish as they ever were; the bees are happy as Larry; Europe and North America are not cooking. Everything's just fucking dandy. And science is all a fraud, of course.

Why do you bother lying about stuff that we all know? Do you think we're just going to be magically persuaded by your bald assertions in the face of simple observable reality?

There are a lot of generalisations, but that doesn't make them false. I do assume that the poster I replied to is a lazy cunt, but I'm pretty confident in that one. His post has many superficial and false assumptions baked into it too, wrapped up in a knee-jerk phrasing to pull in sympathy from the hard of thinking.

Writers spend time writing - much more than you do reading the output. They need to eat and that time is an opportunity cost unless they are compensated for it. Sure, there are problems with the system and many abuses, but that doesn't make copyright law "bullshit".

Low gravity can't keep things in place, so the water drifts off to where gravity is high enough to hold it.

If you imagine high gravity as a deep well, the low spot is a spike sticking up.

How many of your books are on there and how do you propose to eat without an income?

Where "better" means "not well enough".

"The problem is we made too many great products"?

Fuck off.

Shit scripts, bad direction, re-writes by people that hate the source material, and movies that are anything up to an entire hour longer than they need to be. Not to mention the depiction of women as perfect god-like beings that never fail unless it's because of some man, which manages to be incredibly sexist to men and women at the same time!

But, no, the audience just had too many fantastic offerings from Disney to decide what to spend their money on.

Riiiight.

So X-session security isn't an issue, then.

I have no faith in sandboxing protecting me from that anyway. I mean, why would I? I don't have a different keyboard and screen for each app.

Wayland is just a waste of time. It's the dev's own time and as long as they don't want to force me to waste my time too they're welcome to do whatever the fuck they like instead of something useful.

As soon as I see "freedesktop.org" I know it's going to be shit.

Sorry. The Internet is a very hard medium for sarcasm and irony.

Remote access is not a minor thing. It's a must-have.

I wish these funded FOSS teams would spend less time replicating the flaws in Windows and get on with producing better stuff.

It doesn't fix any problem I care about - yeah, yeah, security of X-sessions like that matters to anyone - and doesn't reproduce the one really big important feature of X11, which is remote access. Which I do care about.

Wayland is a toy project for its dev team. They're having fun working on it, sure, and it's useful in a limited number of scenarios. But it's their toy, not mine. It's certainly not good enough to replace X11.

Have you always been this dumb or is this a recent thing?

The people who own the studios. In fact, the shareholders don't even do a day's work and want "dividends".

Paid once for eternity or not at all? Big fucking difference.

Has Google announced the shutter date for this project yet?
