As well as Denuvo please also make it rely on Windows-only bugs so that we can be extra sure that those dirty Linux users are kept away, and it's not fair that foreigners get to enjoy things in their own language so make sure there's no localization for other countries. And I'd rather not have to know that disabled people can also play so make sure there's none of that "accessibility" crap in there slowing things down. And I heard that telemetry makes everything better so please make sure it records everything we do and reports it all back to headquarters, that really makes games better. Also it'd be nice if there were more ads to keep us entertained while it loads. Okay thanks. You guys are doing a great job. — Signed, a perfectly normal user

There's a very long history of calling things like lemmy communities "groups". In my case I'm old and the habit comes from Usenet.

Most of the fediverse already has polls, and can post things to lemmy groups. So yeah it would be nice to be able to see them properly.

Wow, cool, even NBC is catching on to the Fediverse now?

... nope, it's just another blockchain fueled social media system, the main use of which so far seems to be as a haven for QAnon types (according to Wikipedia,) rapidly burning up venture capital. Good luck to them, I guess.

Sure, or IFS=`echo "\n"` if you like

That's quite a lot of comments so far with nobody saying
IFS=' '

Whp is this "Lennart Poettering" character, anyway? I suspect he might be secretly working for Microsoft.

The first concrete example mentioned (18 minutes in) seems to neatly sum up the difference in design philosophy.

X11: Four different keyboard input focus modes, where two would suffice.

Wayland: Only one input focus mode, where two would suffice.

I don't think pleroma or misskey were ever mastodon forks. They're just better alternatives that do something approximately similar.

If you're thinking of it in market terms, then it being a "solved problem" should mean that it's effectively a commodity and nothing radical or game-changing is needed at all to eventually break the monopolies and win all the market share. All that's needed is to offer the same old thing at a slightly lower price, and wait for people to catch on.

But I disagree; there are plenty of unsolved problems.

Certain technologies aren't permitted to be shared outside of USA unless you go through the ETAR

I'm guessing you mean ITAR, if anyone's having trouble searching for it.
