Where is here? You never said where you’re talking about.

The reason why is because historically in Canada people who weren’t white were treated way worse by white people and even though things have improved today, the effects of that mistreatment still affects many people today.

I don’t necessarily think either are great insults tbh and it’d be nice to see dick phased out.

I’m sorry but the cellmate shouldn’t have done that. We shouldn’t punish based on emotion. We don’t want the state to be able to murder people either.

It does for me. For some reason my touchpad has really high scroll sensitivity with libinput. It’s borderline unusable. The only desktop environment that exposes the ability to change this sensitivity is plasma Wayland. AFAIK there’s technical reasons it can’t be done on xorg without hacky workarounds. This is the killer feature for me.

In addition both plasma and gnome only have 1:1 touchpad gestures on their Wayland sessions. Obviously I could use third party tools for trackpad gestures under x11 but those aren’t 1:1.

Also while I’m aware that fractional scaling on Wayland is a mess and hacky but I still find the fractional scaling implementation on KDE Wayland to be the best, followed by KDE on xorg. I need fractional scaling for things to be appropriate sizes on my laptop screen.

For my desktop I still use x11 because of nvidia but I would definitely benefit from the multi monitor improvements under Wayland since I have two monitors of differing refresh rates and it causes issues.

Look, it comes down to the fact that as far as I know, the vast majority of KDE developers are volunteers with their own lives. There was a given explanation for why it hasn’t been fixed, it was complicated code that was hard to maintain. Its not as simple as someone writing code to reimplement the feature, the feature also needs to be maintained which is a lot of work for a project with so few resources compared to proprietary projects that can afford to pay hundreds of full time developers.

People requesting that feature to come back are just kind of rude about it, skipping out on basic manners. Personally if I were a KDE developer I wouldn’t want to work on a feature after all that.

Oftentimes police do nothing when people report sexual assault and rape. Bringing these things to public attention can sometimes be the only way to bring awareness to what happened. You can decide to not believe the alleged victims but there’s nothing wrong with them coming out with allegations.

Damn the people on that bug thread act so entitled for volunteer’s time.

I’m not pretending that every place that Europeans colonized was some utopia before but Colonialism made all of these places worse. On top of that you’re completely generalizing huge groups of people and their practices.

Capitalism allows there to be a wealthy, ruling class that can ruin the world with their greed.

OK so you’re just in an environment where a lot of people disagree. Plenty of online spaces are full of people who are like-minded to you. Lemmy is this way because a lot of anti-capitalists are drawn to the idea of decentralized federation not controlled by a corporation.

I’m sorry what do you think happened before capitalism existed? Do you think that all Indigenous peoples were struggling to survive before white colonists came and enslaved them? Capitalism has created suffering around the globe.

Yeah but blocking traffic is just as valid. Frankly too many regular people just don’t give a shit about climate change. We need to do anything to spread knowledge.
