XWayland 24.1 Released With Explicit Sync, Better Rootful Experience
  • It is being discussed because we're in the middle of the transition from X to Wayland. Before there wasn't much discussion. In a few years when it settles out there probably won't be much discussion.

    Windows and Mac have never had a choice. There might have been significant changes to a window manager layer, but it would have been part of a larger version upgrade. Like between windows 3.1 and 95 or OS 9 to OS X. The visible changes would be closer to desktop environment like KDE and Gnome in Linux.

  • Raspberry Pi Connect: an easy-to-use way to access your RPi remotely, using just a web browser
  • While I generally agree that they should, I disagree that they should have to.

    SSH and then some sort of VPN for remote terminal access isn't too bad.

    It has been a decade or more since I tried setting up VNC, but I never could figure out how to connect to an existing X session. Has that setup gotten better?

  • Breakthrough promises secure and private quantum computing at home
  • Maybe not once quantum computers become more common.

    Our current encryption methods can be represented as wave functions. This allows a sufficiently large quantum computer to solve for the keys in very little time.

    There are new algorithms being developed that should defend against this. So you may still be correct.

  • Team-Kodi PPA officially retired, switches to Flatpak
  • Except they can be hosted by the person/company making the software. This always seemed more trustworthy than AUR to me.

    Of course there are also community PPAs that would need the same scrutiny as AUR packages.

  • Mozilla released a Firefox Nightly test build with vertical tabs - gHacks Tech News
  • I used to use Chrome at work. When Edge added vertical tabs I jumped to that immediately.

    Now that IT is allowing FireFox I switched to that with Tree Style Tabs. I am missing the tab groups from Edge, but the tree is worth it.

    Yes tree tabs with groups would indeed be perfect.

  • A phone with 94 days of standby!
  • It is amazing how long a phone lasts without many apps installed. I put Lineage with gapps on my old pixel 3 and didn't install much. I think it would last a couple weeks if I just changed it up and left it alone.

  • The Google Pay app is shutting down in the US
  • There was a payment app (maybe wallet?). Then they killed it and forced everyone to Pay. It was terrible, and everyone hated it. They gave up on that and brought back Wallet. They are now ending Pay. This is a good thing.
