Actually most of repos you linked have the last activity of months ago. It's pretty worrying though.

Cheap laptop might not have redundancy, so if your SSD dies, you might be in for a rough ride. Best case, you can recover your wallet, worst case you're SOL.

Your comment is written weirdly so I don't really get your point but I think you are being sarcastic and calling the dude you replied to a bootlicker. But that person actually had a valid point here. Login with Facebook is a relatively well received feature for third parties. Why would a first party platform use a bespoke solution?

Hating on Facebook has now become a conformist thought pattern. There's plenty of Facebook to hate if you look, but most people just blindly apply their dogmatic hate everywhere.

Also, I get the view that Oculus is just a video game console -- but I don't think that's how Zuck views it

My impression is that he thinks Oculus/VR will eventually surpass 2d interfaces. So, if they can get away with linking all of their ad targeting information now, in the early stages, then it won't seem weird if they do it later.

To be fair to FB, this is exactly what they're doing with integrating IG and FB messaging. It's just that no one is really complaining about that.

Firefox native support is pretty much here already (I've been using it for quite a time now and it works really well). The only missing piece that is not merged yet is screen sharing unfortunately. It's available on Fedora's Firefox build.

All GTK3 apps runs well on Wayland too.
Qt apps runs well but it doesn't feel as polished (I mainly have issues when I use 2 screen with different scaling).

The last big things are chromium and electron. Once those have ozone merged and enabled in stable, it's gonna be a massive step forward. Those are the last apps I can't run natively on wayland. Ozone is in the beta branches now so, hopefully, it will happen next year.

After, it's not that much of a big deal to run those on xwayland as long there's no scaling. As soon as you're on a hidpi screen or just use scaling, it's when it becomes blurry and is quite annoying.
I personally still prefer wayland over x because the experience is just better. No flickering, it's smooth and feels more snappy.
I was going to assume that I did -- until I actually looked at the PDFs Table of Contents.

I have been using Fedora with Wayland daily for over 7 months now and I it works pretty well.

I see that there are a lot of complains about Wayland here on HN. About input, screenshots and other stuff. But I have not experienced any of that. Input works perfectly and I have no problem with screenshots or screencasts.

Maybe it's that I have well supported hardware (Thinkpad X1C7) or is it something that I'm missing?
> In fact, it has been estimated that the results [for the Scoville scale] from different laboratories could vary by as much as 50 percent.

Not really that important. +/-50% is no big deal. The range is pretty wide. Even with 50% error you're in no risk of confusing, say, a Jalapeno pepper for Cayenne. And those are both way-too-spicy peppers to my mom, or kinda everyday peppers in my household.

The hot sauces that I personally use cover about three orders of magnitude, I'm sure.
For viewing objects I find a turntable style view best in most circumstances. For landscape or architecture (where you're in the scene), mouselook with WASD + vertical up/down.

Neither of these control styles are 6dof; they don't provide a roll control, only elevation, azimuth and position. Roll is rarely useful IMHO and including it in the normal control scheme makes things hard to use. Put roll behind an explicit modifier key, and have a reset-roll action somewhere.

If those are your best arguments against Wayland you are making a good case for it because:

input is broken and inconsistent – what?

screenshots don't work – they do. I use them all the time.

remoting is broken – I know it's supported but I've never wanted to do it.

every WM has to be rewritten or abandoned – of course, that's by design. Wayland doesn't even have WMs.

c&p handling are not yet there – do you mean copy and paste? That works fine; it also has a clipboard manager protocol.
I just spent an hour trying to get it to connect to a VPN via a shell script with no success

sudo nmcli conn up id "VPN" --ask

Works great but there is no sign of

--user-name

Instead I have to write my configuration to a file and read from the that file. Even then I couldn't get it working.

Also `--ask` doesn't ask for your user name.

I mean, sure, it's probably fine when you know how to use it but it has to be one of the least intuitive CLI front ends I have used

I am also frustrated that I couldn't figure it out, which makes me biased
Companies doing clinical trials of new medical devices or drugs require at least statistics to generate the evidence required to satisfy regulators. Calculus may be necessary to identify flow rates, etc.
There exists a dedicated timestamping RFC: RFC3161. And yes, there is a vast number of publicly available (for a fee) service providers that offer this as a service. Even before blockchain, these were in use.
In Germany, there was a law that would require you to store you bookkeeping transactions only with those timestamps applied to avoid retroactive tampering. I.e. if you had received an Invoice as a PDF, you were required to timestamp it in a "secure, tamper proof manner" to be legally compliant. I personally used the free RFC3161 service provided and run for free by DFN ("Deutsches ForschungsNetzwerk", an organization of universities and higher education institutions). The law was abandoned, and it is okay now to store digital invoices without timestamps. If I would have been audited, I am not sure that those timestamps would qualify to met the requirements by law, but I took my chances.
To this day there are still various providers of RFC3161 timestamps, and interfacing is rather easy (you send an HTTP post request by cURL and receive a signed fingerprint by the trusted party).
If Wayland would work out the box, I would love to switch. Last time I checked (a few months ago), it didn't work too well for me and after a week or so I returned to my working X.org setup.

No one suggested OP could do a better job had he used an IDE (and I have no idea if he did). The claim was that NOT using an IDE somehow signals you're a better developer, which is simply absurd.

So your comparison is wrong in this aspect, as the correct comparison would be "Painters who do not use modern tools made specifically to make painting easier are probably better painters. Michelangelo was the greatest master and he did not use modern tools, after all". Would you agree with that??
Or systemd? I've read about complaints regarding it but never had any issues myself on the many dozens of servers that I've managed. On the contrary I find systemd very easy to work with.

Not sure what you're trying to use it for but I've been on Mint for the past 4 years and I've had no problem with it, other than the fact that every time I turn on the computer I have to run a shell script that fixes my resolution. I'm using it for development, I also have a personal Mac and my work PC is Windows and I can say the Linux is miles ahead of both of them. And the Mac and Windows computers have been $1500 and $700 respectively, while the one that runs Mint cost me $300. Linux is #1 for me for development just because of how fast and non intrusive it is, no resources spent on user tracking, no unwanted updates shoved down your throat and so on.
Microsoft Word has a great diff - it's used all the time when drawing up contracts.
> ...intent is factored into the law.

What gets lost or missed is the underlying intent of the protocols and tools being used to share content. An http server serves files independent of the client/user-agent–that's how the web works. If a work is published this way then that's the expectation. If YouTube and the RIAA want it to work another way, then use a different protocol/medium and put the content behind a login and limit access.

I'm not saying people should be free then to republish/share copyrighted works. Just that we are free to use tools to retrieve files that have been served openly via the web.

Natural vs. Artificial Flavors
I think the solution is not Wayland but an X12, that is, a protocol that solves the problems of the aging X11 protocol while also not completely breaking compatibility and requiring the use of a separate Xorg server within Wayland. I wish people had gone that way instead of fully dismissing Xorg.
ChromeOS runs on Wayland, and it is used by WSL as well.
He wasn't. There was a movement amongst wiki engines to come up with a common markup format. c2 was the first but didn't participate in that. They were mostly php, perl and python engines sharing this code.

We had a good common markup long before Markdown, but Markdown got popular with Wikipedia, which also refused to participate. Eventually everybody switched over to Wikipedia syntax, which was then simplified to Markdown. I never saw Swartz taking part in those discussions, we just took his RSS idea.

It is also worth considering your threat model in this case. I am unlikely to face an attacker with nation-state resources, so I actually print out my backup codes on paper along with instructions on how to use them to bootstrap my entire password/auth chain. I then put that paper into a safety deposit box with a copy of my will and other docs my wife and family might need if I drop dead of a heart attack. No passwords to remember, or realize that I forgot at the point where I least want that to happen and secure against the threat models I consider most likely.

Sure, often due to network effects.

But there isn't that much tooling in this area that is actually unique to Markdown (eg. Pandoc handles Asciidoc just fine), and filling in any remaining holes may be interesting projects to tackle.

But the question is: are the supposed technical benefits real or illusory? Which is why I am asking for folks experiences.
I see 1password on HN frequently. I opted for bitwarden after leaving lasspass. Any comments on BW vs 1pass?
Services like GitHub, Gmail, Apple etc allow you to use recovery keys in place of 2FA for this exact circumstance.

The keys are generated by the service and you must make a note of them ahead of time. And keep them secure obviously. You get about 10 possible keys from GitHub iirc.

Also, some services (Google, apple) allow you to perform 2FA over multiple options like one of TOTP, phone call, SMS or other device interaction (in apple's case).

So if the device gets bricked, find a cheap replacement and Bob's your auntie.
Buy a physical U2F key and add it also on accounts where you enable 2FA. Now you're only locked out if you lose both it and your phone.

That is, to be fair, an aspect that could be improved on.

However, how do you do this?

For example, perhaps a large-business exemption where they are required to follow through with legal proceedings if a claimant files a counter-notice (so they can't do the whole claim, counter-claim filed, they don't follow up, like with PopcornTime, usually because the DMCA was bogus).

But then this encourages further litigation, so it discourages people taking the risk to file a counter-claim. But unless they follow through with legal action, nobody can assess if the initial notice was "fraudulent". It's a real thorny problem.
I think a hotness measuring device would be more likely used by enthusiasts who grow their own chilies and want to find out how hot thy turned out - especially since the same breed may be significantly hotter or milder depending on when you harvest and what conditions they grew in.
