People can’t and won’t use it because it sucks. Middle mouse click is for two things:

1. open in a new tab
2. scroll/pan

See how they’re both navigation related? Because the mouse is a navigation tool, not a text tool.

A keyboard is a text tool, all pasting should reside on the keyboard. Eagle-eyed readers may notice that there are actually letters on all the buttons they keep mashing at random, those letters are a hint that the keyboard may be used for text-related operations.

Windows sucks now, but it won desktops for a very good reason initially and as Linux is making inroads into personal computing, there are no reasons it can’t learn lessons from why that was the case.

Old Linux GUIs suck and the user experience in general absolutely sucks on anything before Debian 8. Gnome classic was nuked because it sucked, and new Gnome was an improvement in every way, and it was only very recently that KDE got to a similar level of polish.

No one is saying the feature should be completely removed, just like KDE’s insane defaults of “Peek at desktop” in the bottom right instead of “minimize all windows”, it just needs to be hidden somewhere because 99% of users don’t expect a computer to work this way and with good reason.

Leave the legacy toggle in for people who cut their teeth on OSes made by companies that went bankrupt shortly after making them and expect all computers to work like that until the end of time.

Heck - just for them, create a separate clipboard that always holds the user’s nudes and dedicate left mouse click to a shortcut that emails them to their dad for all I care, because it’s how it worked on a random hack of AmigaOS they used in the 1800s, I don’t care, just leave us out of it.

X11 is a protocol that Xorg implements

This. Only correct comment in the entire thread. Rest are people who probably don’t even use computers and have no idea what a mouse is.

Happens all the time.

Oh cool I didn’t know that

I don’t believe ur mom adds much to the discussion xD

If you’ve never accidentally pressed the mouse wheel while using your mouse you must just not use computers very much, especially not for work

Post literally describes who and how it hurts. You need to read.

It’s so over for Europe holy shit, they would sooner give up Denmark altogether along with any other union member than suffer the “”“economic damage”“” of a US decoupling.

God forbid we have our own arms industry with all the jobs and economic growth that will create here in the EU.

Hey OP, can you try running a nested gamescope session to see if that fixes the issue? I usually always do this as a rule of thumb for all full screen applications due to the many QoL features like real Vsync.

Actually, can you even do that on Wayland yet, or is that Xorg-only?

You’re right of course - it could be a Sway issue, but with Sway being engineered from the ground up to be a Wayland compositor, and conforming to that design, I would still blame Wayland.

To give a comparison: NTFS has many annoying flaws and limitations, but because it’s ultimately a file system created for the NT kernel on Windows, I blame Windows for its limitations.

Besides common sense would suggest that usually when it comes to launching games a display protocol would have more impact than a choice of WM, though Wayland blurs that line because of it’s unusual architecture compared to what we know and love with the X11 protocol and good old Xorg…

I’m kinda curious, why not?

Classic Wayland. Fuck Nvidia tho

£4.30 for bitter swill then. At least Starbucks coffee doubles as brekky

Ive used OpenBSD on my ThinkPad 380XD. It’s slow, but usable in tty mode (original hard drive).

Oh well sorry then, I must’ve misunderstood

Harmless means absence of harm. That we don’t know of any harms does indeed not mean there aren’t any harms to be eventually known.

Therefore, as far as we know it is harmless. Hence why I said exactly that in my original comment.

That would be understandable to commenters ITT if they knew how to read instead of satisfying their dopamine systems with a reactionary outburst straight from the amygdala against a strawman they conjured up in their head, unwittingly making fools of themselves supporting such petty and pathetic authoritarian paternalism.

And additionally, in my personal opinion - it makes plain sense that the longer we study vapes, yet find no harms, the probability increases that they are indeed harmless.

Or at the very least I believe they are no more harmful than the harms caused by our existing standards for e.g. air pollution, in that hypothetical - vaping causes no excess deaths, but may do so if we had cleaner air and lower base rates of lung disease to begin with. Then we may notice increased rates of lung disease and find an associative link, therefore speculate that there is lung disease to which vaping may be some contributing factor and may always have been, but may simply be too minor to notice at present, for instance because people affected by it die of unrelated illness like cancer before they die of any vaping-caused illness or because the lung disease vaping contributes to is also caused by something else more directly that the general population is exposed to, e.g. microplastics or dust particulates from car tires/asphalt.

I’m not an expert nor do I think the above two paragraphs constitute a fact, and I’m more than happy to change my view given sufficient reason, however I also dont think things for no reason or purely because it serves me or brings me some sort of comfort of a lazy mind. Frankly I doubt I would stop using nicotine even if I knew vaping was directly harmful in some way any more than I would stop using alcohol already knowing that it is incredibly harmful (not that I drink alcohol, but that’s besides the point, I don’t do it because I don’t like it’s sedative effects, not because of it’s harms to long term health outcomes).

My reasoning for this is that even with the extremely primitive understanding of both the scientific method and the human body (not to mention technology for the analysis of it), cause and effect around tobacco-caused illnesses was known since the 1700s.

You can check the sources yourself, but for example:

Overview of the history: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1440-1843.2003.00483.x

Here’s from the 1800s: http://w3.biosci.utexas.edu/prc/lincecum/pages/Nicotiana_tabacum-notes.html

Here’s a note of observations between the late 1800s to 1920s

That’s just an example.

I do find myself subconsciously judging pornography creators and consumers, but I would never express such a thing nor act upon it as if it’s the truth.

I’m not so stupid as to think that just because of a personal distaste in my subjective preference that it is somehow objectively bad or harmful, much less that any action should be taken based on something as vague as my own vibes. I’m not a bigot, and I try my best to not trust my “gut” and to think rationally instead.

That, to me, is simply being rational, something that is in short supply nowadays.

That’s very cool! Go Scandinavia!

It’s just like the Quest 2.

It supports some small limited library of games without a PC, but can be used for PCVR for streaming VR experiences over WiFi, exactly like the Quest 2. I have never personally touched any of the on-headset apps on the Quest 2 apart from Virtual Desktop and have only ever used it as a PCVR headset because it’s so cheap compared to the Index etc., and am also looking for an upgrade to the Steam Frame, for PCVR exclusive use.
