This is a rambling of how Wayland supposedly forces everybody to use GNOME, which is BS.

The rant even includes an admission that the author didn’t even know what Wayland was when it was written.

Please add more examples to the list.

How about an example of Wayland forcing me to use GNOME like this rant alleges? I hate GNOME but have been using KDE with Wayland for like two years now.

Hey, all I want is for Linux hardware vendors to stop selling nvidia’s trash!

Great. I’m not using a Dell. I have a laptop from a company that supposedly supports Linux first. A company I will not be buying anything from in the future either.

The awful screen is one big reason I don’t use my System76 laptop more often. It’s the worst laptop screen I’ve ever seen, has terrible light bleed, and has a pink tint. And this is the warranty replacement they tried to charge me for. The first one had the same awful screen, but kept freezing on me randomly.

And the damn thing STILL has hardware features that only work on Windows 10, five years later (like multi-finger trackpad gestures). I’ll take System76 seriously when they start putting good screens in their laptops and get rid of nvidia.

Ice Cubes, Mammoth, and Mona are on this list either. Ice Cubes is the app that got me to actually use Mastodon regularly.

Cmd+Ctrl+Spacebar on Mac

I agree. I definitely noticed that the event (correctly) targeted people who are still on Intel. A few YouTubers laughed about the Intel references, comparing them to breaking up with an ex, but I think that was the right call.

It'll pick up again, I'm sure. The M1 family fixed almost everything wrong with the Mac, so people were eager to get it, and now we're set for a while. I'm personally going to hold onto my M1 Pro for at least a couple more years.

Yeah, everybody who wants an iPhone has one, and most people aren't upgrading every year, despite what the stereotypes say.

And as far as the Mac goes, most people who wanted Apple Silicon upgraded when the M1 was the hot new thing. People held off on buying a new Mac in the latter half of the 2010s because of the keyboard and thermal issues, and once Apple Silicon was announced at WWDC in 2020, we knew the Intel Macs' days were numbered. Most of us bought an M1-based Mac once the model we wanted came out, since the M1 models essentially fixed what was wrong with the Mac.

Since covid, most coffee shops, restaurants, and other hangouts open at 6 AM and close by 3 PM in my area. My only options are bars.

Sure, because everybody who owns a computer, tablet, or smartphone is a web dev. Obviously.

That would be nice if the instance wasn't always overloaded. Ended up blocking the Piped link bot because of it.
