labwc has it :) I use it with XFCE, integration is pretty rough but will hopefully get there over time. No crashes so far!

If I have to cross reference info from two windows I like to have one floating and always on top. In that case its nice being able to roll-up the window to see whats behind it. Minimizing would be similar but it feels more permanent than rolling up.

So there is no shading on KDE Wayland? This feature works in Labwc. Death by thousand papercuts…

Google itself. GrapheneOS bridgea the gap but still…

No, there is no modern smartphone like that, yet AFAIK.

I understand security implications but I’ll be getting Fairphone 6 with /e/OS over Pixel with GrapheneOS. For me FOSS ranks higher than HW security features, and buying Google device goes against FOSS principles.

Its nutjobs like them that are pushing progress further. State security apparatus doesn’t want to work by law. That can be observed worldwide.

French went after Telegram even though it doesn’t market itself primarily for security. It was just that some public channels went against their strategic objectives and they felt the need to bruteforce their way.

So GrapheneOS is very right to be nervous and pack their bags before they come knocking at the door.

GPLv2 vs GPLv3 matters. At least to corpos. You can’t just brush this away when they have a clear position on this.

Compare Ubuntu and MacOS. MacOS ships ancient version of Bash because its GPL2 which allows for coexistence with proprietary software on sold machines.

So if Ubuntu gets rid of GNU coreutils and sudo what else stays GPL3 on a barebones system? You can swap Bash with Zsh like Apple did. And just like that you got yourself a corpo friendly distro to ship proprietary software. Just like Android, and look where that got us.

I think general pessimism about future would stop if people knew that pet raccoons await us in the future.

Good points!

I’m using runbox with custom domain. No issues.

I think this intiative is spot on. I would describe current approach of 2 major OS vendors, Google and Microsoft as such:

Microsoft demands standardization at firmware level via UEFI, ACPI etc. because they bring OS kernel and userspace.

Google demands Linux API version and brings just userspace.

In theory Google approach better facilitates open ecosystem but each OEM treats Linux kernel as just a firmware blob so the end situation is actually worse.

On the PC we have standardized firmware while Android chases Linux API levels each release and thus undermines the whole ecosystem.

I think lesson is different. Even with isolation, apps can escape it with side channels.

Apple is ok with GPLv2 Bash. Linux kernel is GPLv2, GNU coreutils are GPLv3. Systemd is curiosly also GPLv2. Striping GNU out of GNU/Linux might not be so innocent.

A new online crusade. Once again heavy accusations with very weak supportive evidence. It became a pattern already.

imo cultural diversity is still strong. Even within EU there are a lot of differences. Cash vs card, covid vacciness, lots of examples.

Oneday they will find a reason why its necessary for the greater good.

I’ll be going with Fairphone 6 + /e/os as my next phone most likely. Seems like a very decent path forward.

Gmaps often tries to be clever and recommends you to go off the main road onto some smaller one. This might be ok in USA but where I live its annoying at best. OsmAnd is much better in this regard.
