    That might be the case in your country, but there are many cultures that are perfectly capable of sharing and keeping common infrastructure in good conditions. Your personal experience isn't generic and globally true.

    A country's land should not be owned by individuals, in my opinion, but used by those who need it and when they do so. A country's land is what makes it a land, so it cannot be owned or sold. Someone inheriting it from someone who took it and maybe sold it should give no legitimate claim to possession.

  • snake_cased snake_cased 8 months ago 100%

    I use paperwm on Wayland gnome. If you like a scroll wm, is extremely easy to find out by installing the extension. It's one click away. It might not be for everybody and has a few glitches, but fits my workflow better than other paradigms.

    It tried out niri and found it identical to paperwm in most aspects. However, I like gnome and its features, so I missed those in niri. On the other hand niri didn't bring me anything new. It is also difficult to install and configure and requires manual recompiling. I'll certainly revisit it in a more advanced stage, should it reach such, but for now I'm perfectly fine with paperwm.

    Landownership is wrong all together.

    If you think about it, it is completely absurd, why anyone assumes the right to 'own' a piece of land. Or even more land than the other guy. Someone must have been the person to first come up with the idea of ownership, but it is and was never based on anything other than an idea, and we should question it.

    After all inheritance of landownership is a major cornerstone of our unjust and exploitative society.

    Shift+Ins vs. Middle Mouse Button

    Why is it, that some applications (namely Firefox and VSCode) seems to place the current selection into the buffer that is accessed with the middle Mouse Button and not the one accessed by Shift+ins, used anywhere else. It seems usually selecting places the content into both buffers, but just not in platform ignorant builds… This often breaks my work flow. Any idea on how to fix this?

    There were all kinds of opinions in that discussion and only a tiny minority or only the op held this point of view (which was called for being unpopular). I hope my assumptions aren't off.

    It is very easy to steer a population regarding decisions that are way over their head and might even be contrary to their naive interests (ie. collect a tax on concrete to subsidize CO2 neutral building). Direct democracy is every fascist's dream.

    But if you are referring to: my $sub = sub { $self->SUPER::method(@_) }; or actually only $self->SUPER::method(@_)

    no, this is seemingly no possible (and what I am looking for, in one way or another) - this is the super() from my pseudo code above and there is no SUPER. This seems to be a bless based feature...

    Sorry, I take that back, $self->SUPER::do_it(); does work!

    Thanks!

    I can do One::do_it($self) or One->can('do_it')->($self), but that seems very ugly and against the pattern.

    In the current Perl class experiment, is there a way to override a method and refer to super?

    I did not find anything mentioning this anywhere, but it is such a basic feature of class based programming, that I can't imagine it is not there, somewhere, somehow. ``` class One { method do_it {say 1} } class Two : isa(One) { method do_it { super()->do_it; say 2} } # or so... ```

    Can't say for testing, but this is s bit of an odd case. In the past Sid received gnome version jumps faster than arch. However, this timee I'm still stuck on 43, receiving all sorts of updates on that version, but the jump isn't happening for whatever reason. So ymmv.

    Stable just means no major version jumps in software that might break your current setup. That's important for operating servers, not desktops.

    I use debian Sid (unstable) at work and never had problems. Most of the time I get updates prior to other distributions I am using.

    At home I use arch (derivates, manjaro), with great success.

    I would abstain from Ubuntu. There, I had problems, it is very opinionated and not in s good way.

    In a general sense I would always chose a distribution that isn't too locked in to a certain desktop environment and provides updates, quickly.
