Hail the victorious devs!

From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?

They won’t. Don’t download random shit and if you’re worried, run it in Flatpak

What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?

Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel’s graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn’t the case, the kernel doesn’t delete any code that anybody uses (that’s why 30 year old programs still run)

The first comment on the request

For the sake of all of our sanity, I’d really appreciate if FESCo could decide on this one really quickly (e.g. putting out a statement) and avoid what could be a most unpleasant flame-fest on this mailing list.

Help I use Debian on the desktop and don’t understand the implications

If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it.

Why? They don’t need more money. Jellyfin proves how much of their service can be done for free

No lol

You can dual boot it

I saw that MouseKeys for Wayland got merged. Is there any chance we can do more scriptable bindings in the future? I’d love to see things like “hitting 2 jumps to this x,y pair”, “hitting 9 goes 75px down and 75px left”, etc

Yes, it’s the “original” instance

Have you considered applying for a FUTO grant?

I’ve donated plenty to Lemmy with crypto, and the article you linked addressed none of the reasons I use it (privacy, anyone?). So while it’s cool you’re passionately against crypto, I think Lemmy is getting more out of it than it’s lost

If the Lemmy admins adhered to everyone’s request to “stop doing X and I’ll donate”, they would end up with zero more donations because people will always give another reason for not donating

There are donors from both of their communities

The lemmy.ml instance costs like 30$/month to run. Your donation isn’t going to that; your donation is going to develop Lemmy itself

Lemmy default UI should seriously consider a daily donation goal, similar to old Reddit. Implement a backend API to fetch the daily amount needed and the current amount donated, and stick it on the right hand side by all the trending communities. As a stats nerd, this would seriously motivate me to donate more.

Btw I would recommend leaving a note on the desktop saying something like COMPUTER_SPECS.TXT. I had Linux on my computers in school, and I was thinking “holy crap Linux is slow and old”, but it turned out to be cheap hardware (and I didn’t know better, back then)

Eh. He’s done more for Linux than you, I, or anyone else in this thread for that matter.
