I seem to recall hearing speculation that the person behind this had their AUR packages deleted because they were posting malware. I've only heard this second-hand so it could be complete bullshit, but it seems plausible given some of the fucking adult babies we have out in the world.

Yeah, that's icky. Machines like the Breville superautomatic ones are way better because they just have a regular fucking steam wand that's easy to clean.

After reading the linked page, it appears that at least some of the security issues are addressed:

Applications will be isolated from each other by default and can only interact with other applications either through a GUI prompt asking for permission, such as with screen recorders, where it will only be allowed to record the window specified or by explicitly giving the application permission before launched (such as a window manager or external compositor).

I'll probably continue to push forward with Wayland, but I suppose I'm pleased that someone is taking a crack at trying to improve X11. The author also mentions potentially using this as a lightweight and safe replacement for xwayland.

Childhood trauma is horrible, I'm sorry ): you deserved a safe home, and it's tragic you felt so scared that you had to call the cops.

It annoys me when people don't at least try to explain the advantages of language features. Like, there are some real advantages to writing "pythonic" Python, but if someone doesn't know then it's better to tell them why this other way rocks and is fucking cool and also happens to be considered best practice.

Also, sometimes you just have to do things in a non-pythonic way. PEP 8 literally says that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, which the pythonic nuts should hold as gospel.

I was also curious, so I looked it up. This was the motivation for developing kiot:

I have a script lower my blinds if I turn on the camera during the afternoon as otherwise there's an annoying glare. My office lights and monitor both have a redder hue at night, but disabling night-mode on my PC automatically disables the main light performing redshift too. I want my screen to turn off not 10 minutes after activity, which is simultaneously both annoyingly too long and too short, but the moment the motion sensor in my room says I've left.

It lets you control various light/sound aspects of your computer via HA. Here's what it lets you control.

I seem to recall hearing that there were genetic/epigenetic components that predispose some folks to those personality disorders. I'm not disagreeing with you and I don't know if the research I saw was corroborated. I just think it's an interesting idea that you're not born with NPD, but you can be more vulnerable to developing it.

Is this skeleton jelly?

I'm surprised the comments aren't worse over there. The Phoronix comments section shares a striking resemblance to YouTube, but I had to go like 2-3 pages in before the chuds really started rolling in.

Oh my god, they finally quit it with the constant giveaways? I could not stand those and completely stopped watching the channel.

Yeah, the Dark Tower series was a big ol' DNF for me. I just wasn't really able to get invested in anything. I stopped at the part with the train.
