But you don’t understand! It’s not straightforward!

They totally care about the employees there. It’s definitely not about the profit they made that had them paying 33m in taxes to Russia last year.

I’m sure they offered to relocate the employees and not you know, just leave them working in the country to get conscripted.

LOOOOOOL. Did he just snag the dated and always terrible logo from Xorg and think it was cool and modern?

Lol. Just for shits and giggles I want to entertain this for a second.

You’d probably want to pay hackers in a country that isn’t friendly with the US to do this. Russia, North Korea, China, Iran.

Three of those countries are heavily sanctioned right now. I wouldn’t want sketchy money flowing to Russia at the moment even if it didn’t technically fall under sanctions since money flow is being scrutinized. Same with NK and Iran.

So that would leave China. I think you could get away with it there pretty easily.

And lo and behold….

:tinfoilhat:

With that said though. Getting that info leaked out would be extremely damaging and totally not worth the risk.

Aaaah I understand.

What do you mean by the cost? Because you didn’t want to wipe out your Windows OS? I’ve been running distros on my personal PC for 23 years now. Can’t say I’ve ever spent money on it except for some cheap CDs. I think I even got distro cds for cheap that came with linux magazines.

You and me both. The worst is I have to use Teams for work and Ctrl+Shift+C is the shortcut to call the person you’re chatting with.

No, I’m grateful for the rant. It’s been driving me nuts and with the apps I need to use for work not supporting Wayland whatsoever it basically makes me stuck on X, which sucks because Wayland feels much better for me other than XWayland.

It’s a really bad issue for me, it makes XWayland completely unusable. Like, characters appear in different order as I’m typing. The cursor sometimes looks like it’s a character behind. It’s obnoxious that such a huge bug is stuck in politics.

Sorry I have to laugh at this. If you have to write a script for it even if the script is easy there’s no way I can consider it “not hard”. Not hard is just being able buy it like anything else.

I get what you’re saying though.

I’m not super sure what exactly causes the XWayland funkiness on Wayland with NVIDIA’s driver. The Phoronix article mentions “DMA-BUF v4 Wayland protocol support”

Is that possible this would help with that?
