  • Eh, remember humans invented capitalism.

    The problem is that our brains were designed for eating berries in a cave, not driving industrialized processes at global scale.

    Our range of empathy extends roughly to our line of sight. When people in our social circle are suffering in front of us, most of us will try to do something for them. But people that are far away that get affected by our actions exist only in the logical part of our brains and don’t evoke an emotional response.

    Clearly, the Wayland core protocol developers must think exactly like you, because recent versions of Linux (Plasma 6, Ubuntu 22.04, etc) with Wayland have gone waaaaay too far in that direction.

    Nothing can ever grab your screen ever. For example, when I click on a link in my messaging app, I get a notification that “Chrome is ready” so I should switch to it. Like… seriously?

    It really doesn’t. My girlfriend needed to enable the Japanese keyboard on Kubuntu. That required half an hour of searching documentation and forum posts about how to install/enable FCITX5, then another hour debugging to find out it doesn’t work on apps installed via snap.

    I still haven’t been able to come up with a KDE based distro (because it’s way more familiar to Windows users) that actually meets the needs of non technical users.
