@malachai also uh............. UI stability. or the lack thereof. finally decide on one desktop, one UI toolkit, one everything, and things might start actually working
@freya I've been daily driving Ubuntu then cachyos for a long time with basically no issues that I didn't cause myself. Rock solid aside from some self-caused crashing

@freya accessibility as in for disability? KDE Plasma has a massive accessibility suite. :) It's also very pretty and extremely configurable.
@malachai it has many accessibility features, yes, unfortunately the screenreader (which is what I need) is a glitchy unstable mess, and modern UI frameworks make this worse, as does Wayland and Pipewire and suchlike. there's no large amount of funding going into Linux desktop accessibility, and it's such a moving target at this point that getting stable accessibility is really hard

@malachai sure and if you're sighted, that works great. unfortunately I'm not

@freya that's fair! If you can get it working in a VM or something and post bug reports, it will do so so so much to help! I hope it gets better for you so you can get away from the hell company.

@malachai bug reports: all of them. all of the software is either broken, or partially broken, I mean hell sometimes you'l;l go to alt-tab and your screenreader will just go 'lol nope bye"

@malachai I have had better and more consistent accessibility on my Solaris 10 SPARC box than with any and all modern Linuxen

@solonovamax "An attacker could trick a user into clicking a malicious link inside a Markdown file opened in Notepad, causing the application to launch unverified protocols that load and execute remote files."
Why have they made their plaintext editor render markdown??
@Kiloku @solonovamax Because they removed WordPad and then realized they didn't have anything that filled the Niche that WordPad did. And the solution, instead of bringing back WordPad, was to AI Re-Write Notepad into WordPad Featuring AI.

@solonovamax Windows is getting that bad? Crazy what happens when you use ai to code an OS.

And for once, adding AI to the app was not to blame! (Although the issue was introduced in the same batch that added AI, so I'd still count it) -
@solonovamax I don’t understand how this could even happen. It’s a markup language. Are the calling `eval` on the markdown output?

@Kiloku @solonovamax more interesting, how the fuck do you cause an RCE vulnerability in a markdown renderer?

Isn't Notepad supposed to be PLAIN TEXT editor? But oh, they shoved in LLM support and in that same update they added parsing and presentation formatted text.

@malachai @freya That sucks! And this should be shouted at all of the eejits who are pushing for the oh-so-shiny new stuff just because it's new, and it almost works for me, why don't you like it, and the old stuff is old.
Yes, it is old but it works, also for people who need special things, like screen readers and what not. At least in an IT forum I loosely follow some of the residents brought that up, regarding wayland. (and pipwire is a hot mess at least when I tried) -

@paoloredaelli
Molto prima di globo un mio amico ci campava durante università.
Una sola pizzeria, nel we.
Sfruttato pure lui, ma sempre meno che oggi.E ho da ridire anche sulle "borse" lercie che vedo usare.
Non mi ispira vederci uscire cibo da lì.

@ro mah...ogni volta che leggo della disoccupazione più bassa da X anni, mi chiedo cosa facciano tutti questi lavoratori, tra gigafactory che non si fanno, negozi che chiudono uno dopo l'altro...deve essere noioso passare otto ore in un capannone pieno di macchine ferme o in un negozio con le serrande abbassate.

@paoloredaelli Non vivo più a Milano da anni, adesso sono in provincia di Bergamo, e iniziano a diffondersi anche qui... (dove le pizzerie locali tuttavia venerdì e sabato hanno frotte di studenti - non so quanto pagati - per portar le pizze con la loro auto/scooter).
Non ho mai potuto capire come le persone non ragionino sul fatto che è puro sfruttamento di persone che hanno un gran bisogno di guadagnare dei soldini per campare e sono così brave da farlo onestamente....e vengono spremute come limoni purtroppo.

@paoloredaelli condividi, mai usate queste app in vita mia. Non ne sento il bisogno

Tronfio di aver sempre evitato come la peste questi servizi di consegna a domicilio (Glovo, Just Eat, Foodora, Deliveroo) : non voglio essere complice di questa forma moderna e strisciante di schiavitù.
