And for me it's important to be able to change the screen resolution from the command line.

I have some old games with a low resolution and 4/3 aspect ratio running through wine and the only way to play them well is to lower the screen resolution.

Something really done with xrandr, that I put in the scripts I use to run those games, and which lowers the resolution at launch and resets it when the game is closed.

Last time I checked, it was still impossible to do in Wayland, with the response by some Wayland fanboys being "no Wayland doesn't lack functionality, you can still change the resolution, you just need to go to the settings and click"...

So I don't have much hope, and it will remain a blocking issue for me.

I agree, hence the "(or shouldn't, at least)", but tell that to my country's leaders...

But those who aren't satisfied with the current status won't (or shouldn't, at least) be satisfied with that 99%.

When you think about moving nation-level strategic data to a cloud, it doesn't matter if the probability of it leaking to the US gov is 1% or 60%, as long as it's not 0, it's an issue.

That's weird, right? Maybe it's similar to Georges Lucas with star wars: people were allowed to tell him "no" during the first movies, and he didn't have much power. Then for the newer ones, he was completely unchecked.

It maybe the opposite, he had freedom at the beginning, but now big mouse has a day in the scripts.

I was hopeful when I learned he'd return, especially with Tennant for the specials, but then said specials were released and that hope was obliterated.

I don't know what happened, but something did.

As a guy who never watched the old series (I was a baby when it ended), I find your take on the new one rather surprising, but also interesting, especially as I had hope when it was announced that RTD was coming back.

You seem to put all of the new series in the same bag of awful, and while I understand why you wouldn't like any of it since it changed too much compared to the old, I still find it odd you don't differentiate between the first seasons and the latter seasons of the new series.

Like it or not, the first new seasons were successful, and made the show a global phenomenon, with RTD and then Moffat running and writing most of it.

The show took a deep dive when it was handed to Chibnall.

What really surprised me though, is how it continued, and maybe even accelerated that dive when RTD returned as showrunner and main writer. I thought maybe disney had a hand in the change of quality of his work, or maybe that he was just old, tired, or went full political correctness, but your comment sheds an interesting light.

You pick and choose the revisions you like. There was always debate on that page, but most of the time, it said he was a retainer, or at least mentioned the diverging opinions and sources.

You're right that edits were locked once hordes of racists pieces of shit tried to change it. You're just wrong in assuming only one side is racist. If you think the afrocentrists who push the narrative that there's is absolutely no doubt he was a samurai aren't racists just as much as those who claim it is certain he was just a curiosity, I have a bridge to sell you.

The page should mention the variety of sources, as it did before, showing there's debate about whether or not he was made samurai. The fact the admins caved to one racist horde and purged all the dissenting information doesn't make it a good thing just because it's the horde you like.

What makes them unreliable in this case is the insane cherry picking of sources, and the fact the wiki article even cherry picks sentences from the already cherry picked sources.

They use very few supporting sources, and exclude sources that argue he was not a samurai.

One of their primary sources is encyclopedia Britannica, which states that he was a samurai, but that the claim is disputed.

But the wiki article has no mention of said disputes and presents him being a samurai as certain truth, when it is anything but certain. And when for example people in the talk page asked why the wiki article doesn't mention those disputes, the answer is that britannica doesn't sources those disputes. Fair point, maybe, but when other commenters then provide disputing sources, they are either ignored or told their sources are unreliable, with a double standards so thick it's not even funny.

I have a stake in that I don't want to live in a world where history is rewritten to justify something as insignificant as a creative choice in a video game.

In a world where ordinary people are not only the victims of that, but also the perpetrators.

Ubisoft should have said something like "yasuke's history is interesting and a good starting point for our game's story. The game isn't meant to be perfectly historical accurate, we took creative liberties."

But no, they had to go "of course yasuke was a samurai, it's proven", and five even more ammo and motivation to afrocentrists and other self proclaimed progressives obsessed by race to further their entreprise of manipulation of history.

By the way, that wiki page is locked in edition, but even the talk page is locked to shut down the discussion.

Wikipedia isn't reliable anymore on that kind ouf topics.

Yes there's a page. Now look at the history of that page. Look at the talk section, too.

It used to say Yasuke wasn't a samurai. After ubisoft announced it and started catching flak, that page was rewritten to fit the new narrative, based on one controversial guy's book.

This is literally rewriting history to push an agenda, it's eerily reminiscent to 1984.

Noone would have batted an eye if Yasuke was an important NPC, but ubisoft had to make him the main character, and alter history for it, to push their agenda. People are tired of having agendas pushed onto them. Doubly more so when it hijacks a beloved franchise, like AC or dragon age. Triply more so when it happens on the Japan episode fans wanted for years. And even more when said episode is riddled with micro transactions and battle passes despite being single player. Especially in a franchise that used to try to be reasonably historical accurate.

Mate is affected by gnome's antics, because it uses gtk. I got bitten by it when they switched to gtk3 and lost some functionality because some gnome dev had a sensitive mouse and decided to unilaterally remove the "scroll on tabs to switch them" functionality...

Indeed, flatpak, snap, appimage and others are all bad solutions to a problem that shouldn't exist is semver was respected. But of those, appimage is definitely the least bad.

Yeah, it's fishy. With the current, albeit flawed system, the mfa is linked to the phone number.

I can change phone, I can lose it, I still have the phone number.

With this, it's tied to the phone itself. On top of increasing the risk of lockout in case of phone loss or theft, it will tie your account to your phone in a much tighter way, with all the privacy implications.

I use different google accounts, one for my phone and nothing else, one for my main email address, one for my junk address.

Can I use my phone logged with one account to authenticate the others? How tired to the os is it?

Once again, a new shitty idea by know it all idiots, who will definitely not solve the problem while making the worklow more annoying and lowering our privacy once again.

Google is really the worse company on this planet. On a planet where facebook and nestle exist.

Agreed, that seems especially true in my country for bootcamps and other reconversion programs. Less for actual schools.

You can see the difference, the people who went to bootcamps have been taught basically how to glue npm libs together.

When they need to do something a tiny bit less trivial, they can't even use the language's api correctly. Ask them to code an actual algorithm like a sort of you want to see despair.

My point is that it's ironic, and incorrect, to call someone thin skinned when he said he held his tongue at pronouns in email signature when the whole article is about a guy who threw a tantrum in public, demanding the removal from the project, and reeducation of a dev, over an expression in an email.

And yes, I don't care about pronouns in signatures, and I think probably most of rightwingnutjob's opinions are bad.

Those aren't exclusives. And I'm here because I thought your comment was wrong and responded, that's it, stop trying to read more into it, there's nothing more to read there.

Also, would you please tell me how I was aggressive in my opening responses? Because I don't see it.

And yes, from the moment you put words in my mouth, I'll do the same to you, although again, I don't really see where I did that except when I said you seemed to be projecting, which was in response to you putting words in people's mouths.
