No, crypto exchanges are only profitable as a result of massive wash trading and scamming. If they had to actually compete the margins would be hilariously low. Probably even lower…

For starters, any of the money laundering crimes that CZ just pleaded guilty to. That's what any of these cryptocurrencies mean when they say transactions can't be tracked.

>Uh... don't expose your X.org server to the internet naked. This is not something the X maintainers can say. They can encourage people not to do it but if they stop maintaining th…

That won't happen and would actually be much worse for Monero because it means everything becomes a giant target for thieves and scammers, even more than it already is. The reason …

"Usable" is a massive stretch. The only way most people will ever be able to use it is through a custodial wallet, so it's right back to bank accounts and centralized exchanges. Bu…

The efficient ones are still outright scams if not blatantly illegal. All cryptocurrencies should die. After more than a decade it's clear by now that blockchains are a useless tec…

>Why do you think people cannot stand writing with VSCode for example? Which people? Every recent study I've seen shows VSCode as the most popular code editor by a large margin. Ma…

>I've never heard of anyone having an X11 security problem in the last 20 years. Here's 6 CVEs just from last month. Check the mailing lists and you'll see many of these going back…

Can you tell me which part of this you're referring to?

No, really. Those APIs are too low level to be useful for normal applications. Nothing in them is useful for games at all. I don't know why you think it's appropriate to put in the…

>Now that's an ahistorical conspiracy theory No? Where exactly do you think I've theorized about the existence of a conspiracy? Because I've actually said the exact opposite: there…

Your comment has nothing to do with the conversation. The reason to have low latency when typing text is so you can correct mistakes. That requires the full response time. There's …

The Subsurface developer did that 10 years ago and it only was because he personally preferred Qt. Take a step back for a moment and consider that in 10 years that's the only major…

This comment is pretty wrong. Vulkan still uses the GLSL compiler.

You shouldn't use raw X11 or raw Wayland unless you're writing a low-level toolkit. If you're working on games, SDL should handle all that stuff for you.

Keyboard/mouse sharing is completely unrelated to the Wayland protocol. Wayland is only concerned with sending input events to client windows. Generating and capturing global event…

I realize it's probably a waste to say this to someone with your username, but getting angry at the situation is futile. You shouldn't use Linux if you're not used to random stuff …

GIMP has about 3-4 part-time developers and no designers. They have no resources to redesign the user interface even though it's been wanted for a long time. It's taken them an ext…

No, that's an outlandish conspiracy theory and completely ahistorical. GTK was always developed on Linux first, and before it was used by GNOME it had a lot of GIMP-specific functi…

Key word here being "might". What actually gets displayed is highly dependent on the performance of the program itself and will manifest as wild stuttering depending on small varia…

The average human reaction time is 250ms. The amount of latency you'd save from that on average is unnoticeable, and in exchange you get the appearance of stuttering and corruption…

Yes you can, what you would do is clip against the main framebuffer and leave the window area transparent by inverting the mask. Then you can have the other plane underneath the ma…

The server doesn't have enough information to do it because it doesn't know anything about window management. At best it could use a heuristic to guess, but one of the reasons Wayl…

If you're writing a video player or a game or something else that wants direct scan-out, then you can disable the round corners in your CSS.
