And the alternative to doing that is what? This whole story was started because of windows and windows antivirus being inflexible.

Yeah the pointer is handled differently so the old packages don't work, and I couldn't find an updated package possibly because no one has bothered to write one yet. It's perfectly understandable and not an issue whatsoever.

Trackpads are handled much better though.

My very first experience with Linux last year was switching from X to Wayland to get my touchpad to work properly. The only thing I've noticed that doesn't work on Wayland is that mouse following cat.

Those are supposed to be part of the spoiler tag, but many lemmy clients don't support those yet.

Northern England just got a new nickname.

Even py.game would be better at this point...

There was a comment thread a month ago about the attempted refusal to use gender neutral language because that's political: "This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics."

It's not the same thing, but it does match the pattern. Still take everything with some salt though.

Ladux? Linda? +Linux, pronounced "Add a Linux" -> Ada Linux? LinLace?

Maybe the mark is missed for me because no iPhone in existence is marketed as a standard everyday driver. They're always various levels of "luxury" or "pro". More comparable to a Lexus or a Lincoln.

It's also fixed one of the flaws of the original by increasing the time difference. 2005-2024 is a meaningful difference in the market, but 2021-2024 isn't (unless Apple harped on 2024 specifically for some reason).

A more accurate comparison and one that exposes the weaknesses of the original might be a 2024 BMW vs a 2023 Bugatti, a new upper class car vs a recent top class supercar. Fewer of that argument's flaws are due to exaggeration and more are presented in the original, which would be a better exposition of truth to satirize with.

I agree, this is poor satire.

You could set up your own cloud, yes, but you could also use only 'client' devices, without ever having an off-site computer in the network.

I've been using Blokada, and higher in the comments is Mullivad.
