No one on earth has so far managed to get xdg default apps work on Linux. I've been failing since 19 years personally. If you've really succeded then congratulations!

Great. I must be living on the moon then. I guess gnome work great there since it manages this part

> The http.Client docs mention concurrent usage is safe, but not modification.

Subtle linguistic distinctions are not what I want to see in my docs, especially if the context is concurrency.

saturn_vk · 4 months ago

On the other hand, it should be very obvious for anyone that has experience with concurrency, that changing a field on an object like the author showed can never be safe in a concurrency setting. In any language.

I agree. GNOME 2 was simple and beautiful. Then it became completely unusable.

It looks like it's been designed by someone who never has to use a computer.

You forgot „for me“

I don't understand how Wayland is becoming the norm when it can't even restore window positions yet.

saturn_vk · 4 months ago

Why does the display server have to restore window positions?

What a strange title. X11 is still more popular than Gnome, and formulating a wish like a fact doesn't make it so.

Do you have a source for that statistic?

As far as I can tell, this doesn't change when the actual orbital transfer from earth to mars occurs, it just allows launching outside the normal transfer window and then loitering until the window arrives. In this case, what benefit do they have from launching it now and loitering for a year rather than just launching it a year from now?

saturn_vk · 4 months ago

It might be better budget wise, especially in volatile times

The GNOME/GTK devs are on a mission - they fight down all xorg users.

That's not good.

saturn_vk · 4 months ago

There are dozens of you. Dozens!

Wayland is still years away from usable state. You still can't even autotype keepassxc passwords and there are still no good solutions for remote desktop sessions (at least I have not found any last time i checked)

> Wayland is still years away from usable state

… for you, surely. I’m sure there are some wayland users.

> autotype keepassxc passwords

What is that?

> remote desktop sessions

IIRC, gnome comes with an ootb RDP solution that, last I tried, worked as advertised. I’m not a big remote user though.

When I heared that Zed is VC backed, it was a signal to move away from it. Emacs, NeoVim will be here in fifty years from now. VC backed companies don’t have a guarantee. VCs except too much, and pressure founders to pivot if they don’t seem to fulfill the promise for 20x return. See what happened to Evernote. Or SoundCloud.

saturn_vk · 6 months ago

The company is VC backed. Why would the software disappear though? It’s open source, so it can survive even if the company doesn’t

You have the ability to search Google Scholar, I'm quite sure of it

I found nothing. Could you share the links you found, or are you lying
