Ultrakill dev says it's fine to pirate his game if you don't have money to spare: 'Culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it'
  • If that involves stifling other's creativity and harming society, then I'd argue no.

    Realistically, it is a balancing act.

    Copyright, patent and even trademark laws should promote sustainable creativity and societal progress. They try to achieve this by granting some extra (non-intrinsic) rights to creators.

    That these are regularly abused to stifle competition and creativity in the name of profit is a cancer deserving treatment.

    And faced with an imperfect world: If any law or its implementation feels unjust, then most people will feel morally OK with breaking it.

  • Wayland tiling compositor that will work okay with nvidia?
  • labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.

    China-Russia relations: Putin and Xi no longer have a partnership of equals
  • In Tiananmen’s shadow, two leaders met, A show of strength, yet a tale of debt. Putin’s cap in hand, Xi’s gaze afar, The echoes of Ukraine, a haunting scar.

    The Red Army's songs played, children cheered, But in Xi’s eyes, the future’s not cleared. A hug for the cameras, words held at bay, Xi knows the game, it’s a cautious play.

    Russia’s strength, now frail and thin, Exposed by war, the cracks begin. China stands tall, the senior hand, Guiding the course, on shifting sand.

    Economies entwined, yet paths diverge, Xi’s balance act on the world stage surge. A pariah’s plea, a friend’s restraint, In whispers, their true sentiments faint.

    For China’s gain, Russia’s plight, An alliance of need, not equal might. Xi will nod when the moment is right, In shadows, he maneuvers out of sight.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • That indeed changes things, potentially introducing much more bias. What motivation would somebody have to install this tool and run it? Is it being marketed/advertised somehow? How, where, and to whom? :-P

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • People who voluntarily report usage are more likely to be new users, experimenting with Linux distributions etc. Greybeards like me will check out new stuff every few months or years, and won't shout about it one way or another. We'll probably not send statistics when prompted, either.
