    how can we have relatively simpler touch gestures? mostly what I’m thinking about is long press for imitating a right click, but text selection with popup copy/paste/etc buttons would also be useful.

    I would say it’s also inconvenient that we don’t have a good touch keyboard for wayland, but you probably know that.
    maliit is hard to build, afaik not packaged for any distro, buggy and not customizable (or if it is, it is not documented anywhere else than the code), apparently there is no way to limit it’s width, which makes usage harder on tablet sized screens. it has also been abandoned by the devs.
    squeekboard is not compatible with KDE wayland because of missing protocols.
    onboard is X only.












  • The steam store page of a game should to tell on the right sidebar if

    • it uses 3rd party DRM
    • or online-only restriction
    • or requires 3rd party account sign-in

    All of these are marked in a visible yellowish frame below the steam-feature list.

    If it uses DRM that is not 3rd party, I think that means it uses Steam DRM, which is not common in my experience. This one is also kind of easy to patch out, or at least it was the last time I did so which was years ago




  • Anyone who knows networking could detect new device connections on an open network they set up.

    assuming that it will connect to your network. if it connects anywhere else, good luck to figure it out. at that point you can throw a laptop with capturing all nearby wifi traffic and hope you somehow recognize the TV if it appears among the possibly dozens of other devices




  • because cash is issued by the government, or central bank, and is therefore shit

    sorry, I don’t follow your conclusion. Except if you are afraid of price manipulation, which I understand, but that should equally affect your money stored at the bank too

    my reasoning is that we already have it, and it’s already widely accepted as a valuable, while it’s basically untraceable and so private, and also cannot really be selectively revoked or marked “dirty” as it is with shitcoins (yeah, I called bitcoin a shitcoin)
