GNU Taler requires exchanges in order to function, and hasn’t had any so far. What exchange now exists for use in Switzerland? Is it Taler Operations AG?
It depends on wire transfers to move money into and out of a Taler wallet. Wire transfer fees are typically around 30 USD. That’s not practical for most people’s needs, even if covering batches of transactions. Are there plans to support a less expensive means of funds transfer?
Let’s not make things complicated when they don’t have to be.
When the fuck will you people get it??
This is the wrong way to get people to care what you have to say.
A flimsy band-aid over the real problems:
All the more reason to call attention to an easily overlooked alternative, especially if it’s able to serve a blind person’s needs better.
Running ALSA as root had one huge benefit
Huh? ALSA is not a sound server, but a collection of kernel components and libraries. You don’t run it.
With PipeWire or PulseAudio, audio is bound to a user session.
PipeWire has a system-wide mode of operation. It wasn’t well-tested when I last asked about it, but it might be worth a try.
GTK3 broke accessibility for years.
GTK4 released with no accessibility support at all.
This whole article is focused on GNOME and other GTK-based desktops. The only mention of KDE Plasma at all is to say that a certain GNOME fork (MATE) isn’t like it. This seems like a rather large oversight given that Qt, upon which Plasma is built, has accessibility features built in.
So, nearly every criticism here is not about Linux after all, but about a specific desktop family. I hope the author eventually notices that others exist, tries them, and discovers things that work better in them. (And it would be nice if they were to post a more comprehensive follow-up article, or at least rephrase this one so that it doesn’t mislead people into thinking it represents the Linux desktop ecosystem as a whole.)
This is the first time I’ve read of fwupd having firmware that’s likely to be useful to individuals, rather than data centers. Nice!
Do the arena wall features look like a face to anyone else?
Anyone know if the original save games are compatible with the remaster?
How does that work? The code has to be stored somewhere…
The code is replicated by everyone who works on it, and on various public and private servers, so you might say it’s stored everywhere.
I don’t think jobs this hazardous are generally done by plumbers. Sending in a robot instead of a human makes sense.
Especially when the robot is better at finding faults before people’s homes collapse into a sinkhole.
Thank you for summarizing the key points.
Please be at least as good as the first one. <3
The OGs like Wolf3D and Doom did not even have mouse support for aiming until much later.
I don’t think this is true, at least not for the original PC Doom, but I don’t have a record of it handy. shrug
What shooters had you been playing that required using buttons to turn? I’m pretty sure Half-Life didn’t invent mouse look.
