In all those years, I've never been prompted to pay.

What kind of stability issues did you run into?

Yeah, I can imagine they'd conduct audits for firmware on the hardware they ship with their own products. I doubt they look at much beyond that though.

Whether or not Microsoft can be trusted is not relevant. It's just very surprising to me that Microsoft itself blindly trusts disk vendors, instead of using their own encryption layer on top.

I did not know that BitLocker relies on hardware encryption if the SSD has support for it. That seems like an extremely dangerous default to have, especially as the implementation is closed source in most (all?) cases.

Looks interesting. It's good to see another note app that also has an open source backend.

I'm personally using StandardNotes (https://standardnotes.org) for note taking, which has been great. If you don't need the collaborative functionality of MonoCorpus, it's worth checking out.

Everything in the Google product suite, clearly.

Now that this is more commonly known, I wonder how long it will take for social media platforms to start filtering it out.

Close, but not quite.

To summarize: short keys are easy to brute-force. Nothing new here.

It means that you can't use sway (or any other compositor based on wlroots) with the proprietary nvidia driver. Instead, you should use the nouveau driver.

>Last time I used Wayland/Sway I couldn't get decent font rendering. Has the situation improved?

Wayland and Sway don't touch font rendering as far as I know. There should be no difference between font rendering on X and Wayland. Perhaps you were getting blurred out fonts due to scaling?

It's not great in terms of performance in games, but it's perfectly usable on the desktop. I've been using sway on nouveau full time for a couple of days now and have had no issues so far.

I don't get it. I click "Start" and then "no" when asked to allow notifications. After that I get a blank page.

Yeah, I figured those might be out of your scope, thanks anyways. I'll open a ticket for the title bar thing in a bit.

Also, thank you for sway and wlroots!

I've been running this for a couple of hours and it seems really solid so far. Feels great to finally have atomic layout updates and absolutely no tearing.

I hope these questions aren't too off-topic:

- How can I get GTK to stop ignoring my theme? It works with Qt using qtstyleplugins, but not with GTK itself, oddly enough. The theme also works fine when using the x11 backend.

- How can I force floating windows to have title bars? Calling 'swaymsg border normal' manually works, but I can't find a way to set a default. Setting 'default_floating_border normal' doesn't help.

- HiDPI support is claimed to be the best in sway, but Qt appears to ignore 'scale 1' on my HiDPI screen and displays it as 'scale 2'.

No, cannabis is illegal in the Netherlands.

I've also toyed with the idea of doing something like this, and would like to know more about this as well. Like you said, the technical side seems easy. I imagine handling legal issues is going to be the bulk of the work. How are you going to handle abuse reports? How are you going to handle requests from authorities asking to turn over user data? And most importantly: how much information about your users are you going to collect to make handling the legal issues easier?

I've always been under the impression that CLA's are meant to ensure that contributors can not retract their contributions once they've made them. I'd be fine with signing such an agreement. Relicensing other people's work, on the other hand, does seem like a dramatic overreach indeed.

Nouveau, on the other hand, works just fine! Don't expect to run any games on it, but if you're like me and you're stuck with an Nvidia card on the desktop, nouveau will suffice. Even modern stuff like wayland works well with this driver.

Please don't recommend installing ancient versions of Chromium.

Is there a good way to view these Go presentations on mobile? I find them almost impossible to navigate on my smartphone.
