XFce is using GTK3 currently and the change is in GTK5. Hopefully, as more users have the sad realization about Wayland, GTK5 will be end of the line for GTK.

GTK's decision isn't that surprising, they've been part of freedesktop for some time, so they've bought in on the plan to cram Wayland down people's throat with a stick if necessary, much like RedHat in general.

This has been going on in China since before the pandemic. Five or six years ago it was already a common occurrence to find taxis that didn't want cash. Even street food vendors wanted to get paid electronically.

It's certainly an interesting way for Big Brother to have the ability to know EXACTLY where everyone spends their money AND to have the ability to instantly cut someone off if they want to.

No thanks.
 

You do realize that defunding an already underfunded program is objectively worse than not increasing the funding, don't you?

You might be tempted to mail these company execs something to express your displeasure. Just remember this important phrase if police might question you:

"OOps, my bad, I must have mixed their address up with Cologuard when I was addressing my packages..."

BZZT. That's a dodge and I suspect you damned well know it. LIE LIE LIE. You did successfully repeat the big lie, I'll grant you that.

I am quite sure it was understood that the people complaining were referring to the simple act of forwarding the X server connection to the remote X server (display) either directly or through ssh. I was lied to directly after being quite specific that that was what I was talking about (that would be the calling out). It was even a shade worse than Clinton's "I didn't inhale" (because it was in brownies). Truly a mis-direction worthy of a politician. Also known as a lie.

I remember history quite well.

Indeed. A big fat "So what?"

Best,

If it's within the magnetosphere, that's easy enough. But it wouldn't actually be reactionless.

As opposed to San Francisco where nobody takes anything stronger than an aspirin ever?

In the early days right here on /. and on wayland's project blogs.

The claim was that X11 doesn't support remote display. Then when the foolishness of that claim was loudly called out, it was "Well that isn't REALLY remote support". Then that was called out and the claim was "it'll be implemented any day now..."

That was enlarged that it would be through an external proxy. Then that external proxy would be 3rd party. Then it would be started any day now.

Lie after lie after lie. Not a good look for open software.

Wayland is much much worse. IPV6 actually can do anything IPV4 can do. Wayland is still lacking, it's just that the Wayland boosters will try their best to gaslight you into thinking X can't do those things either, even as you watch it do them.

I have to support Ubuntu for commercial reasons. I am relieved to note that Ubuntu is NOT Wayland only. It's just that the latest Gnome only supports Wayland. So all I have to do to keep X11 available is not use the desktop environment that I despise anyway.

Wayland and Gnome are now so far up their own backsides, they will disappear into a singularity any day now.

Never invite a vampire into your home.

You mis-spelled "goons".

That seems like the fast path to destabilizing the mortgage backed security market. Crypto valuation can (and frequently has) wildly swing. What may seem like a million dollar asset value could be a $200k or $100k or zero value asset that would be unable to help a creditor if they needed to liquidate assets to cover a loan payment.

I'm all for fixing the GSE situation (stupid to have TWO agencies that do the same work and are both owned by the US Treasury so why pretend there's competition?), but this seems reckless.

Best,

Traditional vocational training (welder, plumber, electrician, etc) are likely to be more financially viable than a CS degree these days. Those seem a bit more resistant to both Skynet and bottom feeder labor taking over your work.

Best,
