If you have to sue your provider just to get a normal service then society has already failed. I can only imagine you're an American for litigation to be your go-to solution.

What's your definition of ethnonationalist? It surely can't be as simple as identifying with your tribe, otherwise just about every nation except America would be ethnonationalist. For me the term has specific far-right connotati

Not when you want to write your own patches, it isn't. I think the design of DWM could be improved to make patching easier, but it was a revelation to me when I discovered it: for the first time in my life, I was using open source sof

I guess the term "sandbox" can become overloaded. I'm not thinking of OS processes as sandboxes in this context. > However, that’s a big “if”, since most of the linux sandbox thingies take multiple seconds to spawn a proc

I forgot about those links. No, I didn't look at them. I've taken a quick look now. They seem to be about X and everything that's wrong with it, which is fine, but I don't see much about browsers, and that's what

X11 isn't a sandbox and that's fine by me. I'm not particularly interested in zero trust computing. I'm not strongly opposed to it, but in general I'm going to choose a lightweight app over a resource hog. Howeve

Maybe your knowledge is out of date? Afaict, most (if not all) of the differences between desktop environments have been fixed by XDG. I don't run Gnome or KDE and everything on my desktop works just fine.

I write software for web browsers for a living and I shudder at the thought of having all of my apps trapped in some bloaty, slow sandbox that's different enough from all the other bloaty and slow sandboxes to not actually support all

I doubt that. Most of the WMs available for Linux are way more capable than their standard counterparts. There's a rich diversity of UXs available on the platform. Hopefully their ideas won't die with them if they get left behi

Has this been your experience with writing documentation or are you just saying this because it’s obvious. I only ask because, first and foremost, documentation is for you.
