Sure, there is a usecase for this. But sperate buffers and varying (and often unintuitive) behavior of software and which buffer is used how is a much bigger hurdle for people not used to it than that “middle-click pasting is confusing” bullshit…
No, what actually makes sense is a proper unification of different copy/paste buffers that is nowadays still mostly improvised and only achieved through very different 3rd party tools (for me using the panel from xfce it’s xfce4-clipman for example that keeps highlighting text and middle-click buffers synchronised with ctrl-c/ctrl-v or ctrl-insert/shift-insert…).
The problem is not accidently pasting something with a middle-click, but not knowing what is in one buffer, what is in another one and which one a program is using.
I don’t quite get why Gnome people see this as a negative.
Because GNOME decisions are correct, always and exclusively so. Everyone who disagrees is obviously clueless and can be disregarded.
That’s basically the GNOME mantra.
GNOME guys complaining about someone trying to force unilateral decisions upon them and being totally uncoopertaive must be satire…
Yeah, the majority downloads a random program to do it for them from some website. Which might or might not do what it advertised, sometimes even without installing a lot of trash ranging from ads to viruses…
I do manage them via git. But I only do it so have settings (and their changes) synchonised between 2 PCs and a laptop.
With just one main device I don’t even see a reason to “manage” anything… a basic backup strategy completely independent of just dotfiles aside.
None.
I use Signal for messaging. In fact I only use it on mobile devices for short stuff.
Any discussion that takes more time than typing s few short sentences (but is usually also less time-sensitive) I do on the desktop app already.
So Signal is definitely not the right platform for me to talk about hobbbies or other interests. That’s not what it was originally designed for. And that’s not what I will ever use Signal for even if it can nowadays cover that area somewhat.
You do a massive disservice to the overwhelming majority of computer users.
By explicitly telling the rest why Bazzite probably isn’t for them?
and never bothers me
For some time… but nowadays I would never go for anything not rolling release anymore.
Because those distro upgrades were traditionally when something broke (or there were just too many changes requiring my attention at the same time), triggering a fresh install… usually combined with trying another distro.
No, why would it bother me.
Some people need to voice their opinions loudly, some don’t. Doesn’t matter much for me.
The number of “I’m switching to Linux” comments or the change in frequency however is a reasonable indicator for public opinion (under the assumption that there is no sudden global increase in extroverts needing to voice their opinion loudly…).
Nazis are only pro-power. Everything else is just a means to an end.
They don’t actually care who they are advocating against. There is only one constant: They are the ones at the top, destined to rule, and the masses need to be controlled by pitting them against some “enemy”. That enemy is always replaceable because it needs to be replaced every time they accidently “solve” a problem or need a change of narrative.
