They were an issue because it was the wild West and any app could keylog any other app and respond to anything. Now we actually have UX around this.

Just one year? It’s been working much longer for me.

XDG Global shortcuts portal? Has existed and been supported by plasma and gnome for a while https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts.html

I luckily don’t have to modify scripts these days so I’ll just use bash to run them if there’s no better alternative around. And usually it is, few things are only available as bespoke shell script

1. Types.

   You explode lists manually into items when calling commands on a variable list of arguments instead of “quoting variables” to prevent them from exploding.

   Who came up with the bullshit idea that exploding strings into words is such a common use case that this footgun is preferable to have an “explode lists” syntax?

2. Errors. No more set -euo pipefail; shopt -s lastpipe to beat some semblance of sanity into bash

That’s a paradox. POSIX shells are all bad because POSIX demands bad syntax.

You can have pain word strings without also having weird “variables auto-explode into words” bullshit.

That’s why I use nushell. It has lists. You do cmd ...$some_list to call a command on arguments from a list.

By now there’s an always-enabled service running that updates the keys from time to time. So this won’t happen anymore on servers.

Always have been 🔫

The kind of bullshit I’ve seen here on Lemmy alone.

I think “i have this hardware and want to utilize it optimally” is peak Linux.

That’s the thing: you shouldn’t need to get identical monitors for technical reasons. And Wayland is much closer to that goal.

I hope they also wake up to how much reactionary propaganda affects their life and that e.g. trans people just want to live.

According to the X11 devs, it’s all a pile of hacks to shoehorn in features like this. Some things would have never been properly possible with it. So why it might work for you, it’ll never work for everyone.
