Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux’s permission prompts
Ok but you know that people don’t care about this part at all when they’re looking for alternatives to actually use, right?
Yes, sadly people are dumb enough to value convenience over things that really matter
To some, convenience matters more than intangible benefits. This is not necessarily dumb.
Yes it is
Why
I wouldn’t call having more privacy as intangible. Everyones heard of the stories where someone sends some dickpick to a “girl” on some chatroulette app or whatever and ball of a sudden they’re sending them screenshots of all their family members’ Facebook accounts threatening to leak . same shit goes for pollution and stuff like that, the then “intangible” benefits of being wary of wtf we burn and throw into nature and wilderness are now more obvious than ever with global warming being a growing problem. Intangible doesn’t mean nonexistent and if one can’t realize that they’re simply dumb and shortsighted
Ok, that’s true. But what I’m saying is that you aren’t considering the value of convenience and user experience at all. It’s possible for those benefits to outweigh the downsides.
Also encryption wouldn’t prevent your first example
I would also argue that it’s “dumb and shortsighted” to not care about user experience, because then you lose the users and they go back to the unencrypted environmentally-disastrous service.
Yea i think u have a point too, one of the main reason i use linux for good now is how streamlined things are nowadays, i just too eager to watch these projects come to fruition and gain more adoption
Truee I feel like open source has really picked up recently and that makes me happy
