It's not aggressively unpleasant, but it feels… A BIT weird 😂

I don't really like having formed this habit TBH — but it work, it's still better than sleep pills, booze and other such things.

I have my favourite YouTube comedy show, I know nearly every episode of it by heart. I usually set mpv to stop in an hour and it helps me fall asleep really well. I usually use a laptop, but I think I only need the audio and I can use a phone too when I'm not at home.
Yes, I do have all of its episodes on my phone with me, but I've also made it available over HTTP so I can access it from anywhere without using YouTube 😂

Это лучший комментарий к новости Нейромедузы за последнее время! 🤣

This means that either they had the IP addresses Telegram servers are using or otherwise had means of separating its traffic, meaning they could block it as well. And this is coming from the one who was taking part in the protests against Internet censorship in Russia — I wouldn't stop using Telegram without a good reason. For me this alone has the cover blown — even though I don't have papers proving it's operated by KGB or something like that 😅
@intermobility @bascule

@johndoe
I don't trust Telegram for similar reasons: I don't have direct proof, but there is an hint that would be unwise to ignore. Remember when Russia was still officially blocking Telegram? At the same time, in the later stages of it, but before they had the ban officially lifted, Rostelecom — a state-owned telco owning a cell carrier operating under Tele2 brand in Russia had a paid-for option to exclude Telegram traffic from your plan.

Yeah, deafness is pretty common for albino cats, and you are right, it might be a major contributing factor 😹
I hope they will find a way to get more comfortable with each other eventually.

@thatguyoverthere
There are a few tricks to make two cats cooperate, it all boils down to making them eat together, but you don't have to force it and start doing it gradually, like leaving the door half-open.
I'm not sure whether that would work with cat and dog though.

@kaia @moth_ball
They are both okay. Would make a cute couple 😊

@sotolf
Instead you resort to swearing and… this. What you are doing looks precisely like what you're accusing me of — doing whatever it takes to have the last word.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf
You don't have to reply to me, you don't even have to read my reply — that's entirely up to you, denying me the right to reply — I don't have to comply with that.
I'm not barging into your private conversation, all the posts here are public and I'm just replying to a different branch of a thread I was already participating in. I might have misunderstood you and I have asked you to correct me, by now a couple of times already.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf
But that's not what you do, you just state: "That's not what I mean!"— okay, then what DID you mean? You refuse to elaborate and keep insisting that I misinterpret you on purpose — for no good reason at all. You go further and attempt to deny me the right to reply: "I'm not playing your game", "Get lost", etc. You're in no position to do that.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf
There is a world of difference between misunderstanding, making a wrong assumption even, and misinterpreting you on purpose. You don't have anything to substantiate the latter — I've never claimed elsewhere and even here that it's what you mean. The former happens all the time — people misunderstand each other, often in good faith. Luckily you're here to clear things up.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf
Yes, these are my assumptions — but I'm not pulling them out of thin air, I'm basing them on your replies in this here thread. If by modularity or "being monolithic" you mean something else entirely — please explain yourself.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf
Same as input and output in Xorg do not live in separate processes and you don't interact with them over a network protocol or some clever IPC — they are shared objects that implement a certain ABI, does this make Xorg monolithic? No, it's a *modular* X server.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf
Can this library just not be there? No, it can't — because it's an essential part, same as X server can't "not be there".
Can what this library does live in a separate process so you could interact with it over a network protocol? No, it can't — because dropping the network protocol part was a deliberate design decision. You might not like it, and although debatable, that would at least be a valid point — but it still has nothing to do with modularity.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf
If there is someone who is putting words in other's mouth — then it's you and you are doing it in a rather rude manner, accusing me of attempting to "win a discussion", while I simply don't get what you mean by "being monolithic".
Can you implement a WM without implementing a compositor? Yes you can — you can rely on a library, same as Sway does with wlroots.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf @rl_dane @thelinuxcast
Same way as you have to have an X display server to run a WM — even if that would be headless, WM doesn't exist in limbo all by itself.
Having a library means you can replace it with a different library implementing the same interfaces, or build a different WM on top of that library. You can interface with a library, you can communicate using a network protocol — neither approach is monolithic.

@sotolf
I might've misunderstood you as you didn't really elaborate on what you mean by being monolithic — if I did, you can always correct me 🤷
> can you make a wm in wayland without writing a compositor
Would it even make any sense if display server itself is called a "wayland conpositor"? Again, Sway might be considered a WM — technically it IS a compositor, but it doesn't implement it from the ground up — it relies on wlroots, in this regard it's quite modular.
@rl_dane @thelinuxcast

@sotolf @rl_dane @thelinuxcast
I'm just sharing my experience — if you think that doesn't contribute anything to the conversation, you can… just not reply to me.
And I had to split my reply in four parts because this instance has a 500 character limit, this should've been a single reply. If I did annoy you with extra notifications, that wasn't my intent at all. Sorry for that if that is what you mean.
