@freya what's stopping you? Linux is here to love you. :P

@freya what's stopping you? Linux is here to love you. :P
@malachai accessibility, or the lack thereof

@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

@solonovamax it's not April yet what the fuck

OH MY FUCKING GOD
@solonovamax i was going to ask if you were joking but the omfg answers that -
@solonovamax remote code execution or local command injection? the cve seems confused. either way lol

@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 lmao LOVE local user interaction bugs called RCE, this never dies

@malachai accessibility, or the lack thereof
@freya accessibility as in for disability? KDE Plasma has a massive accessibility suite. :) It's also very pretty and extremely configurable.

@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

@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 non vibe coders have a long and lucrative career ahead of them cleaning up this mess

@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.

Tempesta senza fine. Il flusso perturbato che da un mese schiaffeggia mezza Europa non solo non si placa, ma è intenzionato addirittura a rilanciare. Tra giovedì e domenica due profonde depressioni atlantiche transiteranno sul vecchio continente coinvolgendo in maniera diretta anche l'Italia. 1/8
