If this was done by multiple people, I'm sure the person that designed this delivery mechanism is really annoyed with the person that made the sloppy payload, since that made it all get detected right away.

Then they'll just identify you by the sound of the printer being audible from down the street.

TIL there are Linux people that don't use OpenWRT. I always assumed everyone in the Linux community used it. It's great.

Works great with mt7621 based routers if anyone ends up looking for something compatible.

I use gnome for the most part. I have been checking out kde recently to see how the newer versions stack up (gave up on it during the 4.0 days). As you mention kde supports dpms changes on wayland because they have their own protocol extension for that.

That's actually my biggest gripe with wayland - the huge amount of fragmentation it has caused. I'm pretty confident that almost all the missing features I talked about are possible on one or two of the compositors, but not all of them. And definitely not on the one I use. I'm sure once some pragmatism takes hold that all the issues will be ironed out, but my plan for now is to stick to X11 until that happens.

For me it's a million little details that just don't work. Stuff like positioning windows, removing decorations from a window, remapping buttons on a trackball, setting a graphics output to tvrgb, disabling a display via ssh and enabling it again, etc.

It's not just about hardware compatibility. It has to be compatible with existing workflows, and it's currently very limiting.

set -euo pipefail at the top of every script makes stuff a lot safer. Explanation here.

They're doing this at the OS level, so Firefox can't protect you from that, the issue is with Windows. They could do the same to Firefox, they just don't bother.

Not sure what you mean, they've always used Snapdragons? The S23 from 2023 uses one, and the S3 from 2012 uses them in some models, and most galaxies between those do as well.

Seems it's exploiting vulnerabilities in some software called "Ivanti Connect Secure VPN", so unless you're running that, you're safe I guess. Says in the past they used vulnerabilities in "Qlik Sense" and Adobe "Magento". Never heard of any of those, but I guess maybe some businesses use them?

I love how the complaint makes even less sense when you look at the KDE mega announcement from yesterday. The third thing listed is a new wallpaper.
Love KDE, but they have some really annoying users.

It actually seems common for less developed countries to have better internet than the more developed ones. Germans always complain about their internet, for example. I believe the reason is simply that your country laid down lines relatively recently, so they're compatible with high speed internet, while Germany laid down their lines 30 years ago, so they're fairly shitty in comparison. It tends to be a lot harder to convince governments or bosses to replace something that seems to work fine, and it can be costlier too.
