just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.

If you have issue with Bottles, you don't immediately go to the Wine bug tracker. If you have issue with packaged Bottles, you immediately go to the Bottles bug tracker. There is clearly a big difference.

How about that the CEO has shitty views and got ousted for it from Moz?

Alright, do we boycott javascript or is that too much effort?

There is an entire post from the devs on why Bottles is packaged the way it is. [https://usebottles.com/posts/2022-06-07-an-open-letter/]. If you put yourself in the developers' position, it's actually understandable. Distributions ship Bottles package filled with issues or straight up borked, users turn their frustrations to the Bottles developers instead of package maintainers, devs get frustrated and bombarded with issues that they can't fixed. A ton of time, effort and mental health is wasted. I think the wishes of devs should be respected, even though the software is open source and you CAN package it however you'd like.

The creator and maintainer of openSUSE Aeon leans towards support of the decision, as he says "package maintaners can do whatever they want".

I wish I could do that, but sadly the Linux community is barely alive on any instance other than .ml.

Of course, I was comparing it to other "standalone" window managers, not the ones used by GNOME/KDE, since the userbase will be obviously much higher for the desktop environments.

I'm amazed by the amount of work being done by Hyprland devs. I remember how they were just starting not that long ago, and now it's (probably) the most popular Wayland window manager.

Looks pretty great, though I'd never buy it due to the lack of software support. I wish that developers making these phones would just allow easy bootloader unlock and give the device trees needed for custom roms. The community would do the rest, just like Xiaomi phones in the old days.

Wait until the guy hears that nazis drank water and were also... breathing?

My friend just got a new Xiaomi phone. He tried unlocking it a few days ago and got "try again in 168 hours". That happened in Europe. It's an absolute mess nowadays, I remember when they started blocking you from unlocking the bootloader. First you had to wait 24 hours, then 3 days, now it's an entire week. You also need to make sure you're logged into your Mi Account on both phone and PC and do even more weird fuckery to ensure the process actually go through. Meanwhile, on GOOGLE Pixel devices you just type one command after you enable oem unlocking in settings and reboot into fastboot mode. Crazy.

Yeah. As much as I love GrapheneOS and all the security work, sometimes I feel like their "ideal" setup is to just install GrapheneOS on the latest Pixel phone and use only the 5 or so built in apps, as everything else is insecure, brings additional code baggage and can introduce flaws. I don't think anyone can live like that.

KeepassXC + KeepassDX. Have been using them for years without ever thinking of alternatives.
