The newer version is: https://w3c.github.io/openscreenprotocol/

I used to be on that team at Google and when I left they were working on an open source implementation of it.

Miracast is a separate, older protocol from what Chromecast uses.

Everything in the video is considered acceptable in open source code today. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t have been right there in the code for the person making the video to find it.

Oh please. This comment has the same energy as Dave Chappelle doing a whole Netflix special about how he’s been cancelled.

“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.

From is run by Vogons!

I have no idea what any of y’all are talking about.

You can get in touch with him eventually, but not for anything urgent. For example, I had to rescue his mom when she lost her car key because she couldn’t get in touch with him to help her.

I know a guy who doesn’t have a phone. Trying to get in touch with him is a PITA.

Not if you want to use both at the same time. Due example, I’ve wanted to have a local Gnome session that I leave signed in, and another session with different settings that I remote into.

To give one example, what if someone wants to have more than one set of options for the same app? That’s something I’ve needed before, and it’s really hard to accomplish if the app always looks in one specific place for its options.

Nearly every app should have a warning

So it would be how in the US half of all products have a warning saying they cause cancer thanks to California proposition 65? No thanks.

To be fair, if a naive user is going to get a virus, there’s a very high chance a browser will be involved.

That doesn’t describe me or any other programmer I know.

Yes?

You know you can say fuck on Reddit, right?

Sometimes it works well as a stylistic choice. It’s not pretending not to use a bad word, but rather drawing attention to the fact that you’re deliberately being a little bit naughty with a wink to the reader. It’s like the absurdity of what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps.

The simplest solution is to set up the sudoers file to allow only specific commands your users need. I assume you need more than that, but what kinds of use cases does that solution fail to handle?

I’m a developer and I’ve strongly preferred KDE over Gnome for many years. I find the lack of features and customization in Gnome extremely irritating.

If it’s ok to announce you’re moving to Linux (and it is), then it’s ok to announce you’re moving away.

This. I still write plenty of bash scripts, but I’ve noticed that except for really simple cases, I very quickly reach a point where I would have been better off using Python instead. And when I start with a Python scripts I often end up redoing it in Rust for a variety of reasons. It’s just easy to underestimate how serious a programming project is. At least I’ve never started something in bash that I needed to migrate to Rust.

(I think a lot of people would see Go as the next logical step from Python, but I personally find some things about Go really irritating.)
