LibreOffice UI is so awful I'm 90% convinced there is a Microsoft plant that actively disrupts progress.

I don't lurk the github, so I'm just assuming there are a few accounts that disagree with UI improvements just to kill time and fake debate.

But yeah that UI is just awful.

Further, you mention any UI issue on the subreddit and you get banned. Yeah...

Really a shame, Fedora + Google's Office Suite has been a near complete replacement for me. Although Sheets could be improved a bit.

Talk is cheap, did you create any PRs for the suggested changes?

I like the idea, but these tasks seem incomprehensible. I looked at some near me, and one is about traffic lights at an intersection that doesn't have traffic lights, and the others just say "Highway not on ground and no tunnel, bridge or covered tags" under "Instructions" but they're not highways or roads at all (though I guess they are on the ground).

I agree, I looked around my area and found a task on top of a parking lot that says: "These elements have rare (<20 uses) parking=* values." What does this mean? Does it mean that the parking log is marked to have a "<20" value when the value should be a number instead of a string? Obviously I'm not going to go inside the car park and count all the park slots, there could be hundreds!

Very nice. Nit to author: maybe redirect opengist.io to github project or to demo.opengist.io? Right now it shows the ngnix default page.

Generally speaking, if you non-cooperate with the police that’s one class of offense, but if you lie to the police (that’s what this would be seen as) and they catch you it’s a whole ‘nother level of offense.

In general, if you’re thinking about interactions with the police and you have an idea that feels “clever”, it is a bad idea.

How are you lying to the police by unlocking a different profile of your phone? So long as the police doesn't say "oh, unlock this $specific profile of your phone please", you could have different profiles for different purposes (e.g. different set of apps installed, like one profile for work and another for personal settings).

I wonder if there are plans to make it work with X11 in the future, I've yet to see the benefit of trying to switch to Wayland on my desktop, it just doesn't work as-is the way my 8 year old setup works.

I doubt they have the energy to backport bleeding edge tech.

Is the same infrastructure available in Windows and MacOS?
knocte · 2 years ago
From the article:

> What are the limitations?

> At the moment, graphics offload will only work with Wayland on Linux. There is some hope that we may be able to implement similar things on MacOS, but for now, this is Wayland-only. It also depends on the content being in dmabufs.

This threat is far less dangerous than the threat of automatically connecting to certain free wifi ssid's that could be harmfull to one of the thousands of possibly compromised apps.

It's the other way around mate. So long as you use https (and have already accessed the website in the past) you're fine using free wifi hotspots.
