@adam I wish almost everything was designed in this sort of way.

@rl_dane " Third, again, this is bad nod toward "simple" atomic distros, the Flatpaks and all that, whereby system and applications are separate. Nope. Wrong implementation."
I *completely* disagree with that, but yeah this guy sounds like me sometimes too ๐Ÿ˜†

@rl_dane
IMO, the main two ways I'm aware of that 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 using 2% CPU when it is just in the system tray and taking over a terabyte of virtual memory :/

Don't buy flowers at a monastery. 

@jimsalter it does feel as though we've gone from say little, do much to say much, do little in rather short order. But I think that's because we've also moved to a system that rewards those with fancy words, and the ability to motivate and/or otherwise stimulate people.

@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 :)

@ProgressiveLurker @TomSwirly @GeePawHill Mastodon is chockful of micro-celebrities huffing and puffing beyond their reach.

@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).

Been having a discussion, and thought I'd have a quick poll. Please boost to get this beyond my bubble.

Is zero:

@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]
