  • Libs, NDP and Green just need to unify for this election cycle. It's a strategic move they have to make. Can they do that, run as a single ballot?

  • Yes! Every Canadian municipality and provincial department should do this.

  • And on the way down, connected rich people have already shorted select industries' stocks, then will buy in bigtime after the crash to profit on the long way back up.

    The rich get richer.

    EDIT: the way back up won't be so long, as theh recovery will be aided by big bailouts (or bail-ins) at the taxpayers' expense. So we'll get screwed not one, not two, but THREE ways.

  • And the ratchet is successfully set one rung higher than it ever should have reached.

    Until they do it again!

  • Usually in my experience docker puts its images in /var/lib/docker. If your /var is on its own partition, or overall your disk space isn't big enough you'll have a bad time.

    If you have other partitions with spare room, you can move the subdir docker from /var/lib to the other partition/drive, then symlink /var/lib/docker to that.

  • I have particular seething hatred for Scribd. That site needs to die in a fire (after all of its jailed manuals are liberated, of course ;) )

  • And FYI, you can correct your post's Title after submitting if you make a mistake, unlike the old place!

  • No freedom of religion without freedom FROM religion.

    Resist a theocratic state.

  • Surprise surprise, the guy who was already infamous for stiffing his contractors, and then rally venues, might not pay up?! Who'd have thought?

    Money up-front, or no deal with the orange menace.

  • I admit I may misunderstand the situation; I hear there's a compatibility layer or something named xwayland -- will that allow older apps linked against x11 to run on a wayland desktop?

    I'll have to give wayland a try again soon -- if it's stable on my laptops and I can figure out the custom keyboard layout stuff (I posted on another thread recently asking about that -- sounds like there are good solutions for that) then I'll feel comfortable moving to it finally.

  • Things must move on eventually, I suppose. I just really hope they reach feature parity before then. It sounds like most of the annoyances that have kept people from migrating are being tackled, so I'm hopeful.

  • The blog post says they're just deprecating X11 APIs at this point; GTK5 will remove them.

    I'm still very worried about this. Wayland still has many rough edges and I think forcing a move to X11 is premature. One of the main benefits of the Linux ecosystem has always been that it strived to run on hardware far longer than commercial vendors, who have gotten even worse at forcing obsolescence of hardware for purely revenue-focused reasons (looking at you, Microsoft -- Win11 refusing to work on chipsets it is perfectly capable of running on...)

  • I'll look into those, thank you!

    (I currently set up my APL keymap via .Xmodmap with xmodmap, and setxkbmap for X11 terms, and with 'loadkeys' for console.)

  • Great info! I will try it when I decide to trial-run Wayland again, thank you!

    (Some things I had read online suggested that Wayland did not use the x11 configs. If it does, that's good news.)

  • As someone who hasn't yet moved to Wayland, how good is support these days for alternate keyboard mappings? Is this something that each individual window manager needs to support, or does Wayland itself manage them?

    Not just "international keyboard" support, but truly arbitrary keyboard/symbol mapping support. I muddle in programming with APL, which needs its own key mapping with Unicode symbols.

    I recall KDE had its own mapping support which used some system APL layout but I'd rather not have key mappings tied to a specific window manager.

  • archive.is or their mirrors should also be used, as archive.org has proven vulnerable to takedown requests from corporations, wouldn't surprise me if they could be coerced into removing their data by USA govt request as well.
