I guess ideally we should have an open standard for software “storefronts” that should allow for multiple stores to be plugged into the same app.


that’s too fast, you can barely go to the bathroom, let alone eat your lunch


Not very. X11 is still widely used and works fine. Wayland is the future, but you’ll probably be fine either way.
I copied this table from here: https://www.linuxteck.com/x11-vs-wayland/
| Feature | X11 | Wayland |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Multi-program chain (X Server + WM + Compositor) | Single unified Compositor handles everything |
| Render Method | RAM multi-copy — pixels duplicated per frame | Zero-copy GPU — same buffer start to finish |
| Security Model | Open trust — any app sees all input and screen | Isolated by design — apps see only their own window |
| Screen Tearing | Common — vsync not guaranteed by protocol | Eliminated — compositor controls frame delivery |
| HiDPI / Fractional Scaling | Inconsistent — requires per-app configuration | Per-display — clean scaling built into protocol |
| Multi-Monitor HDR | Limited — retrofitted support only | Full support — designed from the ground up |
| SSH Remote Display | Native — X forwarding works out of the box | Needs external tools (e.g. Xwayland, RDP) |
| GUI Automation Tools | Rich ecosystem — xdotool, wmctrl, AutoKey | Limited — protocol restricts cross-app access |
| Legacy App Support | Full native support | XWayland compatibility bridge |
| NVIDIA Driver Support | Stable — long-established | Good — driver series 495 and above |
| Battery Efficiency | Higher overhead — extra RAM copies per frame | Lower overhead — GPU buffer reuse |
| Development Status | Maintenance-only since 2024 | Actively developed — expanding scope |


Asian countries import the most oil through the strait of Hormuz (https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=65504), makes sense that they’d get hit hardest first.


"The data found 25 per cent of gay and bisexual men would vote for Reform, with 33 per cent of straight men also pledging support to Farage’s party.
By contrast, Zack Polanski’s left-wing, pro-trans Green Party was the second most popular choice for gay and bisexual men at 19 per cent. However, amongst the straight men surveyed, only 7 per cent support the Greens.
For lesbian and bisexual women, the Greens were by far the most popular choice, with more than a third backing Polanski (37 per cent). This was not reflected for straight women, with just 11 per cent saying they would vote Green and the majority of their support going to Reform (29 per cent)."
I guess Reform is just really popular :c
In fairness they would eventually find their balls and be the only party voting against Hitler being given dictatorial powers
I dunno, I think it makes more sense to compare the US to the EU than to individual European countries, given that European countries are more the size of US states.


True, but you could also band together with the other rich people and lobby for the inheritance tax to be abolished for a few years so you can give your children the inheritance before the tax gets reintroduced. A wealth tax doesn’t have that problem.


the plausible deniability is getting thinner and thinner - this time it was that the whole video was jungle themed, so obviously it had nothing to do with racism!
specifically the drive to maximize engagement by focusing on intense emotions, then?
