> Who is forced to use it? Just use X11, as you said (many times) you do already.

Recent versions of gnome session are compiled only with wayland support in archlinux. To change DE or distribution or use custom package is quite a stretch to call it's not forced.


But then it's not Wayland's fault: Gnome decided to move to it and stop supporting X.

I don't like systemd and the fact that mainstream distros push for it, but as a result I use a distro that gives me the choice (Gentoo). Who am I to tell the distro maintainer what they should do for free?


Just because it’s free doesn’t mean you shouldn’t call them out on their stupidity.

I bet Fabrice could write JSAndroid which would provide no lag emulation experience.


I'm sure he could implement JSWindows that would be faster than the Microsoft's version.


Repairability score page[1] looks like a Lenovo advert.

From the bottom of the linked article:

> Full disclosure: iFixit has an ongoing business relationship with Lenovo, and we are hopelessly biased in favor of repairable products.


Actually in Python you could recast (zerocopy) bytearray as other primitive C type or even any other structure using ctypes module.


Naming is atrocious indeed.


It's kinda hard to deliver value in fewer lines.


Thank you for posting it. It's the launcher I didn't know I need! My usage pattern is literally: use first desktop for often used apps and search for everything else. Samsung launcher search is quite shitty and slow and takes considerable amount of gestures to reach.

Installed and toyed with KISS for 30min and yes. It's perfect for me!


> 2.6 One vs. Many Check-outs per Repository

For practical cases `git worktree` allows to have multiple checkouts. Document marks this section as "partly disputed" with an external link. IMHO git worktrees has the same ergonomics as in fossil. This section kinda discredits the rest of the article.


> there's no central King whose greed for wealth can be satisfied once.

King and court and lords are the same amount of greedy bastards. The issue with kings is on another plain, what to do with power transfer to a new king. Democracy try to solve exactly this problem. What to do with individuals bending laws to be new kings is another issue to solve.


I could live with 1-indexing but a closed range array unpack (slices) is quite big toll and breaks nice intuitive invariant.
