Shouldn't this be basic knowledge for journalist?

Why would it be if nobody trains them on it?

There are several groups out there that train journalists (and others) about digital security.

That doesn't obviate the practical reality that "nobody trains them on it". Someone can be available to train them but, if that resource is not utilized, then the fact remains that they weren't trained.

People train to become journalists, wouldn't these practices be part of the curriculum?

A lot of people are doing that. Every protester against ICE is doing exactly what you described. Some have been murdered for it.

wrong amendment

If we need to fall back on that one it's going to suck. It isn't going to be glorious or something to celebrate being a part of - it's going to absolutely suck to live through and where we end up at the far end is very much up to chance @see myanmar.

>that one it's going to suck.

Absolutely, but you can't make someone believe that things like trans athletes, DEI, multi race populations, and whatever else are all extremely minor things compared to how good your life is, until that good life goes away. Its exactly the same thing as with all the anti vaxxers who were dying on respirators saying that they were wrong and begging people to take the vaccine. Everyone needs a reality check.

And on the other side of the isle, people need to realize that is not just political opinions, some people are truly just evil.

We are already there.

The middle class of America has got to be the most spoiled, pathetic group in all of history.

You are totally free to work on whatever you want to. You don't have to use the software that the Wayland devs (and other developers that like Wayland) produces. You can use and code whatever you want.

Oh good! This is great news!

So you've managed to get redhat to commit to continue to package an X server, then? I'm impressed by this achievement and send my thanks for your efforts - they've been trying to drop it for a while now, it's only wayland's continuing status as unusable vapourware that stops them.

You don't have to use Red Hat's products or code if you don't want to. There are plenty of competitors that might suit your needs and desires better.

Oh, I don't? This is news.

So to be clear, you're saying that you've spoken to the management at my company and convinced them to switch away from redhat?

If you could post a link to a copy of the email from the higher-ups, just so I have it in writing, that'd be rad. Thanks! :)

You accept money to work on Red Hat products, that is a choice you make. The owner/manager of the company you work at is free to decide what systems to use and then pay people to carry out her strategy/direction. You probably don't get to decide what kind of office chairs you buy either.

Right. So in other words you're now saying that I do have to use red hat's products, even if I don't want to, if that's what my customers want.

(and just to head off your next comment, no, it's not my choice, because I happen to like food and shelter)

Thanks for playing

So you want to force Red Hat to keep maintaining the xorg stack because you are unable or unwilling to change jobs?

Who said anything about redhat maintaining anything?

What a constructive comment. Are you a Wayland developer by any chance?

Clarification: The AMD iGPU driver (or Chrome) on Ubuntu 24.04 has bugs on your hardware. You could try a newer and different distro (just using a live-USB) to see if that has been fixed.

The beauty with Free Software and Linux distros is that "they" don't have to do it, anyone who wants to (including you!) can do it.

In theory. In practice, every app is designed for X11 or Wayland, building your own means you need to follow what most people use anyway if you want to have any working app on your system, or rewrite every app yourself

5-10 years ago there were no apps designed for Wayland. If you build it they (app developers) might actually come!

yep, that's why I stuck with x11, as it still does everything I need it to do. it's actually never crashed since they stopped fixing it.

I only have horror memories for trying to integrate with Acumatica as well....

The article defines quality as being as close to the source as possible. AI upscaling adds detail that wasn't there in the first place.

Yeah, it is almost like that complete OS should be called something else than "Linux".

Then you only support 1 distro. If anyone wants to use your software on an unsupported distro they can figure out the rest themselves.

No, they come online and whine that you didn't package your software for <obscure distro>, that your software is shit and you're incompetent.

What is the point of automating another UI/Desktop than the one you are actually using? If you allow people to build different type of systems you can't expect them to function the same and have the same API.

This is obtuse.
