lol he is not some bond villain, thats just argumentatively bankrupt to say.

The world's first trillionaire. Likely father to dozens of children with various women, based on unusual ideology. Runs a spaceship company. Penchant for extreme politics and fascination with nazism. Pulls strings at the highest levels of government. Weird-looking, with a foreign (ie: foreign to Great Britain) accent.

If he didn't actually exist, Ian Fleming would have to invent him.

That said, this sort of article is pointless because the public know plenty about Musk, and already have decided whether they love him or hate him.


Too much social media and tweeting for a Bond villain. Putin always seems a bit like a Bond villain and has the creepy murderous thing down.

would your book also outlaw pools as some parents negligance have caused kids to fall in and drown?

can you provide ANYTHING to back up that claim?

everything I have on steam works fine with xwayland

this take is ridiculous, of course remote wayland will work, there are still some things missing, which are gonna come shortly in KDE atleast.

are there really multiple confliction extensions? I thought they finally actually agreed on a protocol to do it?

assign yourself permission to the device(may or may not happen by default depending on your distribution), and you can actuate it in /sys/class/leds/inputXX::scrolllock/brightness.

probably also exists other tools to do it. this is then generic linux LED framework


I am aware of sysfs LED controls. They don't solve this problem, because access to them requires privileges (or permissions assigned by someone with privileges). It's not reasonable to expect that, just as it's not reasonable to expect a sysadmin to grant users permission to the keyboard device node before they can type anything.

Moreover, granting permissions on the sysfs nodes won't distinguish between a user who is logged in to the current virtual console and one who is not. Wayland correctly delegates keyboard ownership to compositors, but they have no way to expose the keyboard's outputs (the LEDs) because Wayland hasn't yet defined a protocol for doing so.

X11 has a protocol for this, and X servers handle it just fine. They account for different users and LED states on each virtual console, and do not require clients to have any special permissions. It's an area where Wayland fails to be a suitable replacement.


alt + left mouse button anywhere in the window (maybe win button or something is default now).

using the titlebar for moving a window is extremely backwards and productivity killer.

that being said, I agree with you, and I think its an outright abomination to put the tabs in the titlebar, and its disgusting how crome and firefox by default removes the real titlebar


Alt+LMB drag is impossible to do properly, at least on Windows, because too many applications use that for their own inputs. There are some X11 applications that also use that (Blender?), so while it's cool when it works, it comes with pretty severe problems.

Alt-drag works perfectly well on windows. I use a third party app called alt-drag to enable it. Has worked fine for years.

It also allows you to use it with win-drag of course.


there might exist some programs that do it, but this might be why they changed default from alt to win key.

in either case, that appears to be the very extreme minority of cases you have to move a window


it works for us now

yandex provides objectively better results for many things than google/ddg/bing


The results are kind of weird, but it does have one advantage: either nobody bothers to DMCA them, or they ignore it, or both.


I'm not sure about better but they do censor different topics and viewpoints which makes them an important source to aggregate.


Western companies also bought strategically important Nazi Germany industrial products in the 1930s because they were considered superior. Commercial convenience and technical quality are not moral or geopolitical absolution. Would you buy cheap quality gold if the Nazis were selling it knowing what it supports?


What about Israeli companies or American companies?


if someone sells me 1kg of gold for the price of 0.5kg, I will buy it
