I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strength was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?

It’s literally the opposite. Windows aren’t allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it’s unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn’t have that.

Dial the Gate. Series of interviews with people involved in making of Stargate TV show (not just actors bit people at every level). It’s over 200 episodes now.

Well GTK does not have theming anymore, though it still needs some way to configure fonts and icon theme.

Google-certified Android TV devices aren’t known to receive security updates either.

Does it really matter? It’s the usual corporate intrigues/power struggle/backstabbing/whatever. Just for some reason leaked into public view instead of being behind the scenes like it’s normally done, probably because someone is stupid.

Kaspersky is closely tied to Russian government. The dude himself (founder and CEO) has a government position as one of Putin’s advisors or something. Also he believes that anonymity should be purged from the internet, and every user should be personally indentified, enforced by the government. In the name of “security”, of course.

Low effort tickets are ignored because they are bullshit.

High effort tickets are ignored because devs are lazy and can’t be bothered to deal with complex and boring issues.

Well, at least that’s how I roll as an open source developer lol.

It’s still not enough time for KDE devs to fix all major issues with Wayland. It requires at least another two years in the oven.

I wonder if they consulted Plasma devs about it. Sure they said that they aim to make Wayland ready for Plasma 6, but it didn’t sound like it was an actual plan for 6.0. After all they got their hands full with Qt 6 porting, and there are still major roadblocks with completing Wayland support, while 6.0 is about to have its alpha release already.

Knowing Fedora devs however, I suspect they didn’t. They switched to Plasma Wayland by default several Fedora releases ago, when it was in no way ready. I guess I will switch to a different distro when this time comes.

Russia already has national root TLS certificate that’s must installed on all devices (basically government-mandated MITM). The next step is to start severely throttling (and optionally blocking) TLS connections that don’t use it. Some popular foreign sites like Google can remain functional by replacing their certificate at ISP level (all ISPs are already controlled by the government).

I’m sure shit bags are someone’s kink too.

I don’t know.

That’s how they do it. They send their “proposal” and immediately implement it in Chrome (with work on that being started long before “proposal” is made public obviously). Then they start using it on their own websites (with compatibility for now) and start propaganda campaign to push webdevs to use it too (which they do of course). Then they start complaining that other browsers’ developers are slow to implement this new “standard” (at this stage they won’t call it a “proposal” anymore) and are “stifling development of the web” or being actively malicious because they are jealous of Chrome or something. Then compatibility mode on their websites is first subtly broken so that users once again will witness how Chrome is superior browser and then removed outright. Boom, we have a new web standard!

Yeah I hated how they shrunk Lan’s shoulders and made him look soft.

Google Maps is just trash.
