Can confirm, have a cat and don't have that issue. Because I lock the screen when leaving the machine unattended.

Eventually people will have to get new hardware. That's the moment to avoid nVidia, that's how simple this can be.

Also, the problem is nVidia giving shitty Wayland support, not Wayland providing no nVidia support. It's nVidia who has to write the drivers since they themselves opted to keep their implementation details a secret. There's nothing the Wayland people can do except plea, beg and shame. If nVidia then decide not to care, then I say fuck them.

Not GP, but: Realplayer compressed everything to hell, the quality was absolutely atrocious. I believe it was buggy as well.

Quicktime was a behemoth that took ages to launch. To speed things up, it liked to auto-load and be active in the system tray, slowing system start down even further and taking up precious ram on the off chance that you might want to watch a quicktime video. It also liked to register itself as the video player of choice for other formats, because why would you use a decent player if you can use a shitty one that was made by Apple? Fuck quicktime.

They're five months early for April fools.

Most don’t even know what an IR is.

I'm glad I'm not a terminal emulator or I'd feel personally attacked.

That's all too abstract and too emphatic. They have the power and the money and so far any problem they've had, they've been able to solve by using either their power or their money. Clearly, they believe that will be the case in the future as well. And so they cling to their sources of wealth and power because they think those will keep them safe.

That indeed doesn't bode well for our future, whether it's about the climate, AI, nuclear power or anything else.

I don't want to link to them because fuck them, though the current top comment contains a link to that site.

The interesting thing is that you get this error message on /us while when you remove it, you get redirected to /global and there is no such message. They went out of their way to collect the data of US citizens while still complying with the GDPR for other users.

For context, the total Dutch government budget for 2023 is 395 billion. So this represents 9.5 per cent of government spending.

Great allies ❤️

Thanks for the clarification.

The last sentence of the article however, shows why that's not much of a consolation:

In other words, it is activist hedge funds and modern executive compensation practices — not corporate law — that drive so many of today’s public companies to myopically focus on short-term earnings; cut back on investment and innovation; mistreat their employees, customers and communities; and indulge in reckless, irresponsible and environmentally destructive behaviors.

If nothing else, the smiley can be taken as a hint that it's not serious.
