the day it got leaked I tried it and I can verify that it works. They probably fixed it already I’m guessing

[narrator voice: it wasn’t “just as easy as” nor did “everything work great”]

how are you only getting 1% battery drain overnight? my pixel 7 w grapheneos drains 10% overnight and battery saver makes it worse somehow

I would like to know your secrets

eh, ddg is equally bad with it insisting it knows better than me what my query is and “fixing” it, leaving me to have to either fix it or click a link telling it “yes I really did want to search for that and not what you assumed”

DDG keeps changing my search query because its “not returning a lot of results” or because it thinks I typo’d and it is infuriating to me, sometimes it doesnt even inform me that it did, not even giving me a link to click to get to my actual search query

'also noticed that it got worse around the same time google did

yes, using spectacle I imagine

I use different software, apparently that matters

that’s because that’s what happened. Simple mobile tools got bought out by a company known for exactly that: putting ads and spyware in apps

thankfully since its open source, there’s already a fork in the works called Fossify

thanks!

and yet plenty of stuff still runs in the background for me, eating my battery when I don’t need it to be in the background

I will be forced to, but x11 is no longer being developed, so its not very secure to do so

additionally, Wayland is going to be default on kde, and Im not sure if that means that it’ll be default for me too if I update

not to mention that with it default on KDE, I’ll be running into more and more bugs that just, will not be fixed, because “use Wayland” will be the new response to bug reports (GNOME actively does this with a critical GTK4/libadwaita bug)

the point is, Wayland is being rushed and was never ready for default

It has begun

(ps install the fork versions of the simple mobile tools suite, its called fossify)

still frustrating as all hell, these programs just worked on x11

also Synergy/Barrier/etc dont work yet and would need “non standard” protocols. Pretty critical for me

I am an enduser and I just expect things to work, but one of the most critical things of my setup wont

sighh, that sucks

does this go for pretty much all programs, like say an email client too? or is there a limit to this?

wait so you’re telling me I’m gonna be forced to use spectacle on wayland if I use KDE?

I’m told screenshots now work on wayland. The idea was that spectacle would not have worked on wayland because of how locked down it is

that’s something

I’ve heard that synergy/barrier/etc doesn’t work though and that is critical for my daily workflow so I won’t be switching until it is supported

oh I see you’re that kinda person

No means no

can you not do this? lets keep this disingenuous behavior over on reddit

no its not, consent is important

I do not consent to having my bodily waste be enjoyed by my toilet

Every time I learn more about what Wayland can’t do, I learn of even more critical stuff that doesn’t work

no screenshots? really? who approved this trashfire as default. That’s about as ridiculous as no global hotkeys
