SteamLink not allowing me to stream just my desktop (rather than a specific game) on Wayland is really the only thing keeping me on X11 at the moment. I use that feature almost nightly to keep watching something from my PC while I cook dinner

I have cd && clear aliased as home

Lazy aliases unite!

I wrote one that printed a fake “memory cleared” screen so I could keep my stored stuff saved even if the protectors wanted to see us wipe the storage.

I wish I had even half the braincells required to understand the installation for this.

Been tried, already died.

“Glimpse”

Does Spectacle work well with Wayland?

Even Endeavour comes with Discover installed, and stuff like Octopi exists and is pretty bug free these days.

If you’ve never had to dig into a registry file or obscure hidden folder path in Windows, you aren’t enough of a power user to ever have to in a Linux distro either.

Endeavour is a great example for gui only users for sure.

It was honestly the one thing I still have never found a feature parity Linux alt for after years; it will always bug me no matter what other “it’s basically the same” suggested player I use instead.

That said, currently I’m making do with Quodlibet, and I have no major complaints. But nothing is an exact replica enough for me not to constantly compare it to Wimamp & complain.

Not a serious suggestion, but I can confirm that WACUP does at least have no noticeable issues using WINE

Source: they made it up

That whole timeline is insane, and the fact that anyone even found this in the totally coincidental way they did is very lucky for the rest of us.

It’s essentially just a remote desktop app, so yeah kinda. Depending on your screen resolution it’ll be either be more or less annoying to click on smaller UI elements, but it’s certainly possible.

I keep my Bluetooth headphones connected to the PC, and there’s maybe a split second delay. Otherwise it’s perfect, because you can still navigate your PC with the touch screen as a mouse, and it even nicely supports my 3 monitors at once.

Still holding out for desktop streaming via SteamLink to work on Wayland. I use it almost nightly to mirror my screen to my phone so I can watch what’s on my PC while cooking dinner via my phone.

Same speed, except they’re gouging me for $90 a month over here.

I don’t think the average person even knows GiB exists, since Windows and all the random flash drive manufacturers have mislabeled and confused the two for ages now.

Insane take.

You’re talking about outlawing the equivalent of a lock picking set. This tool is used by legitimate security researchers and professional penetration testers all the time. Making this type of hardware less accessible only hurts.

I made a concerted effort one evening to go into my downloads folder on my PC, rename all the nameless garbage filenames, and then actually move and sort them into my pictures/documents/etc folders.

Was a huge pain in the ass, but it saved me so much effort looking for stuff later on down the line. Also, changing Firefox’s default download setting to prompt me for a name and location every time certainly helped.

And yet all websites seem to still exist using only email verification.

Yes, and unless you haven’t noticed spam comments and fake account are rampant across most popular online services.

that a server admin and a company shouldn’t be asking for excessive security for recreational uses.

And yet most people don’t care, and just add their phone number to their Discord account without a second thought; because it’s not excessive, it’s the norm. You can’t even make an account on Instagram without providing your phone number, and in some cases and selfie while holding up a security code on a piece of paper to verify you are human. I’m not saying this slow creep into collecting user date should just be hand-waived away by virtue of it’s widespread adoption, but the matter of fact is that if it was really viewed as such an egregious breach of privacy by the average person, then it wouldn’t have survived since no one would be using the affected services.

they need to look into other methods of securing their servers

You seem to be willfully ignoring the fact that phone number verification is the answer to this question. Real people tend to have one phone number, fake phone numbers are easy to create but cost money, emails do not cost money.

Do you really not see the intrinsic benefit of requiring a phone number as the strictest form of online security for a tragically spam-laden service like Discord?
