If clay figures are the price to pay for clean, spaced user interfaces and readable text, then bring it on. This is the first time that I actually like a design trend in the web. Thank god we got rid of those barely readable thin grey fonts

As a touchpad-ignorant person (I have not used Macbook touchpad, so I don't know what I'm missing) Linux touchpad support had always seemed fine to me until distros started using libinput by default. Last time I tried libinput, I

Not even Marx uses that definition of capitalism. Capitalism, as defined by communists is about the "private ownership of the means of production". The term has now been widely adopted, even by its defenders, although we don'

Because I want my profile to be viewed by anyone, including non instagram users, or at least keep the capability to do it. Also, if they do this, it's highly probable that they do other user-hostile things. AFAIK, you can't upload

Yes, I think homomorphic encryption is what I was thinking about, although I didn't know its name until now.

Tangential (and noob) question: Could there be an encryption+compression scheme where: 1. Sender sends an encrypted stream at K bps. 2. Server takes the encrypted stream and compresses it, without decrypting anything. It then sends encrypte

I'd be fine with an "UI dictatorship" or standardization if it gave us better UI and UX. Gnome's "dictatorship" has only brought bad experiences and inappropriate interfaces.

Maybe it would count as dual-licensing it: GPL and an ad-hoc non-commercial license.

I think Fedora is the only major distro running Wayland by default. Debian and Ubuntu are still on X11. I think Cannonical shipped 17.10 (or other minor release) with Wayland by default, but subsequent releases reverted to X11.
