Interesting, thanks. I hadn't even thought about Wayland. I've been using MATE and it runs X by default. I wonder if I can change that. I've never used Wayland and don't know much about it.

I've never had trouble using a USB keyboard with X. I don't think X realizes there are two keyboards. Bluetooth might be different.

Person is doing worthwhile things but has way too much confidence in the fediverse. Welcome to Lemmy though, if the author makes it here.

Old man yells at cloud storage. No, never get any type of "lifetime" online service. It will bite you. Better just get normal storage. Those aren't even good prices. I'm quite happy with hetzner storage box at about $2/TB/mo.

I'm pretty disappointed with the recent "itsfoss" posts in general. They just seem like typical consumer schlock.

Slightly disconcerting that RPI is doing it's own branded line of sd cards, nvme SSDs, and now USB hubs. I hope they don't eventually turn into Apple.

Building a full function browser is a huge project that can really only be done by a big organization. And it's mostly for the benefit of advertisers and other hucksters, so not a satisfying thing to work on for purely charitable reasons. Basically the web sucks. We'd be better off with a privacy protecting fragment that was designed for end users rather than for upstream. See Rfc 8890 for more.

Tech has advanced technically (for lack of a better word) but yeah, it's being used against us more than to our benefit a lot of the time.
