  • Cosmic-comp is my second favorite after hyprland so far due to their tiling being quite well thought-out. The problem is, it’s part of a DE and is somewhat cumbersome to configure as a standalone compositor (can be fixed by patching libcosmic, tho), and also it’s quite bare-bones when it comes to features.

    Then there’s pinnacle which looks promising, but I haven’t yet tried to daily-drive it.

    Also, maybe qtile, which has a Wayland back-end.










  • I mean, “give access” and “double your bitcoin” are somewhat textbook phrases for scams…

    Although, I def. see how one can miss it at first. I remember one bank scam call where the thing that ultimately clued me in was a rather unprofessional response along the lines of “don’t call crying back to us” when I’ve said I’m a bit busy to go check the card or whatever they’ve asked to, while what should’ve done this in the 1st place was another textbooky “have u transfered any funds to Joe Shmoe”. Looking back, would’ve been funy AF to pull the Karen on them 🥲

    I kinda hope smth like that would happen. In such case Russia is likely to strike back, and having 2/3 nations with ambitions of world domination minding their own business for once may prove beneficial for the world in general. Can’t say Chinese government is a godsend with all their censorship, but at least I don’t really remember them baselessly attacking other countries as of recently



  • No, they’ve definitely been Chinese last time I’ve checked. It’s just that it seems a bit weird to me to distrust software just because it’s Chinese, since foss stuff from china can be trusted as it’s possible to audit it (say, shadowsocks or xray), and proprietary software from outside of china can send your data wherever it’s programmed to (e.g. windows or chrome). Besides, while it’s alleged China could influence Chinese developers to either hand over userdata or backdoor the software, it’s not like other governments can’t, and for an average Joe the consequences are, I suspect, more or less the same
