Clearly, the Wayland core protocol developers must think exactly like you, because recent versions of Linux (Plasma 6, Ubuntu 22.04, etc) with Wayland have gone waaaaay too far in that direction.
Nothing can ever grab your screen ever. For example, when I click on a link in my messaging app, I get a notification that “Chrome is ready” so I should switch to it. Like… seriously?
So, everything you mentioned are reasons I’ve heard for people to switch from GitHub to GitLab, which is why I explicitly mentioned them both in the question.
So far no one has given me any advantage specific to codeberg. (Keeping in mind that GitLab is already open source, self-hosted, and federated via ActivityPub).
What exactly is the advantage of codeberg over gitlab and github? People just say “miscellaneous privacy benefits”
OMG I was really hoping someone would get the reference and you did!
How would you get the other party’s public key?
Also Kagi has a fediverse lens

I remember hearing something about requiring a multi million dollar deposit or something that made it infeasible for all but the largest of tech companies.
What was perforce’s solution to this? If you delete a file in a new revision, it still kept the old data around, right? Otherwise there’d be no way to rollback.
It has delayed it by several months at least though
It really doesn’t. My girlfriend needed to enable the Japanese keyboard on Kubuntu. That required half an hour of searching documentation and forum posts about how to install/enable FCITX5, then another hour debugging to find out it doesn’t work on apps installed via snap.
I still haven’t been able to come up with a KDE based distro (because it’s way more familiar to Windows users) that actually meets the needs of non technical users.
We don’t have corporations manipulating our feeds
yet. Once we have enough users that it’s worth their effort to target, the bullshit will absolutely come.
It looks like he didn’t brake, which (I assume) would have made the situation worse.
Is the correct action in that situation just to maintain constant speed and hope it straightens out? Or do you need to accelerate?
Nah, you can build algorithms that make depressed teenagers with little to no tracking. Especially if they can train said algorithms from data they already have from the rest of the world.
