I was afraid someone was going to point out that AOSP exists, but it's not very useful.

The Android that everyone uses and talks about is very closed, because everything depends on the playstore.

I don't have the answer to the best form of government, but communism doesn't work. That has already been proven?

And capitalism is actually pretty good, until it turns everything into ads and destroys the planet :-/ I wish there was something better.

So why do so many people seem to think Linux needs to become bigger on Desktop?

Personally I am not looking forward to the consequences: capitalism will make sure there will be something on Linux to make money off. They will try to conquer it, introduce walled gardens, stores you will have to pay for, by watching ads.

Android was Open Source once until Google decided to mainstream it.

I still hate the trend of creating video's of something that can be summarised in 2-3 lines of text. So I can ask, right?

And yes I am also a lazy mongrel. I think. What's a mongrel? I am lazy.

How is that related?

I'm playing "Better than adventure" which has the Beta feel and without most of the stuff that was added afterwards (no hunger, xp, enchantments). Early game is hard! :)

I just reached the Brass age in my Create world (+ some QoL mods).

I've added Rotary Skies to my list of mods I'd like to try.

Based on 1.7.10? Woah. Was there a reason for that?

I could not turn off mouse acceleration, which was a deal-breaker for me.

Actually not Wayland's fault if I remember correctly, something about libinput changing it's format, and my window manager wasn't compatible with it yet. After trying for several hours I found a bug report (can't find it right now). The Devs thought it was a minor issue, but for me it was huge so I decided I'll wait another year.

I must say, Wayland was smoooooth, didn't even experience X as slow until I tried Wayland.

I think that that's on purpose, don't make it so easy to get all enhancements? Getting mending on your tools is a project or if you play on a server: something you can set up a shop for and earn diamonds once you've done it.

Yes, that's how it works. If you change the DNS settings it will send everything straight to proton.

Ofcourse you could also do auto-forwarding. But as far as I know this disables the possibility to send from me@me.

It's annoying, isn't it? :-/

I've also noticed that if you want to send from anotherme@me you have to create an identity with that name first, which cannot be done through the app (you need to log in through the browser first). I typically register at services like servicename@me and when I email them they are always confused that I am sending mail from me@me (sometimes they refuse service because they expect me to send from servicename@me) so I have to go through the hassle of creating an identity.

Sure there's reasons for protonmail to work this way - but it's very annoying. I guess there's always a trade-off between security and convenience.
