Agreed. Also, how dense do you have to be to go on for paragraphs about fragmentation and then recommend a display server used by zero point zero one percent of Linux desktops.

Almost entirely misinformation. Saying that Xorg only used one protocol is amazing. X11 has a billion extensions. It is unusable without them.

Saying that X11 had feature parity with other desktop operating systems is delusional.

But the craziest argument is fragmentation.

Wayland is already on over 50% of Linux desktops. The two most popular desktop environments default to it. The most popular desktop environment is about to remove support for X11. The most popular desktop Linux distribution is dropping support for Xorg in October.

The only popular distro that does not default to Wayland is Mint as Cinnamon is not ready. But it too will default to Wayland within a year at most.

Even Debian Stable defaults to Wayland now.

If you want to minimize fragmentation on Linux, use Wayland.

[edit: I had not read far enough. The absolute craziest argument is “enterprise adoption”. The most successful enterprise distro is Red Hat by a country mile. Number two is SUSE. Number three is Ubuntu. Red Hat and SUSE have both stopped shipping Xorg entirely. Ubuntu is removing it in October. The idea that enterprises want us to adopt Xlibre is next level detached and deranged.]

The Matrix was right, humanity cannot tolerate it when things are good. That is how you get the OP image of 1000 different plots against the status quo.

Humanity performs best when collectively rising to defend against an external threat.

It is a strength that gets used against us when we install leaders that create fake threats to motivate us.

But an actual external threat usually makes humanity better.

Canada is improving right now as the entire country comes together in shared resistance to Donald Trump. He is probably making the EU better too actually.

You know, this may actually change the way I think about him.

I just realized that this is somebody’s actual alias list and not just a joke.

It is not like he put the f on it :)

In an alias like this, running pacman first has the advantage that the true Arch packages install completely before any AUR packages that require slow downloads, package compression, or long build steps.

I approve of this way raising military spending. Good to see it going to real people.

You do not even have access to a wall outlet?

Most people have short enough commutes that an overnight charge on a regular 120 volt socket will get them through the day.

Let me publicly apologize to you for the reaction your comment got.

This guy can eat a dick and I have no idea why we are giving him so much attention.

I fail to see what is wrong with your comment though. I read it several times. Perhaps others are misunderstanding what you said. Or I am I guess.

Eastlink is allowed to piggy-back on Rogers and Bell fibre too where they do not have their own. But they do not have the marketing budget to drum up much demand there and do not have the scale to support such customers. So Eastlink does not benefit from this that much.

So what Eastlink wants is to have a monopoly in the niche markets where they have more fibre than the big guys. They cannot do this if the big guys can use their infrastructure.

The big telecoms have more fibre overall so they do not like the idea that others can use it. So, the both the biggest and the smallest carriers are in agreement that piggy-backing is bad.

Telus is a regional carrier that is big in some places but less big in others. They would love to piggy-back on the big carriers to expand their reach. And in markets where Telus is strong, they have the marketing budget to go toe-to-toe which even Rogers and Bell. So, Telus is all for it.

But who cares what any of them think. More competition and more choice is a good thing for consumers.

This would also make it possible for a well funded new entrant to enter the Canadian market. Again, that can only be a good thing.
