IMO, the main two ways I'm aware of that #Wayland actually messes up is it's pro- stance on CSD (Window decorations are a *system* element, not an *application* element, folks), and its *complete* lack of clipboard security.

@rl_dane The arguments against Wayland were weird. A 105% scaling setting in KDE isn't Wayland's fault. Scrot is an X11 screenshot tool, it shouldn't work the same in Wayland since Wayland was designed with security at least as a backburner concern.
And the resource utilization is usually better under Wayland, right? Could be a KDE or driver issue.

Why is #Discord using 2% CPU when it is just in the system tray and taking over a terabyte of virtual memory :/

@Ki3_Games That's great 😆

@Ki3_Games But in 60FPS :]

@bemmesr For sure, keeping the truth as the goal takes discipline and is easy to mess up.

@bemmesr based on Mastodon, though they've been blocked by a number of servers due to allowing mostly free speech or something. I remember the whole rigmarole where people were trying to get them widely defederated.
You need to be in STEM to join Qoto though, I think....

@bemmesr I feel like debate fits forum-style social media... but the problem is, which platform? I know that there are Fediverse alternatives to Reddit (Lemmy and Kbin) but I've never been on those, so I can't vouch for them.

There's qoto.org. Might be worth a try. On their page, they advertise themselves as a place for civil discussion. They have a post limit of 65,535 chars (as opposed to the typical Mastodon 500), so they're better fit for bigger discussions. They federate and their code is

@hollowone@graphics.social They do call it "social" media for a reason :)

@ColinTheMathmo I answered Even, though I'm pretty sure it is technically / officially(?) considered neither even nor odd.

I think I usually think of even and odd being two patterns, where if you add or subtract 2 you get a number from the same pattern. Like, even and odd numbers are every other integer number, and since we are saying 'every other' integer, there are two patterns (interleaved).

@bemmesr But I'm learning that arguing, for humans, is fundamentally a cooperative process: both parties need to be striving for the *truth*, or else the process is highly unreliable.
These are my thoughts. Don't let me tell you what to do :) [2/2]

@bemmesr I have a text file on my phone with things I'm learning about arguing with people who might suddenly reveal themselves to be arguing in bad faith and you don't know when or if ever. Part of it: "When it is time to disappear: when you reach the point of no return, where you realize they are arguing in bad faith or are unreasonable or not listening. Stop then."
I mean, in this case, they blocked you so I suppose it's different. [1/2]

@bemmesr I'd like to point out, if I may, that microblogging platforms in general are pretty allergic to civil discourse. As far as I can tell, Mastodon has much less of a reputation of being this way, but it still has a problem, epecially when arguing against something left-wing.
