> i don't really agree that we should have to trust anything running on our computers simply because we can't all individually formally verify the source code of everything we run.
one also trusts the mechanic to properly fix brakes on the car. of course i can't verify everything on my computer, but i can choose to rely on due diligence from others i trust. if not, i can as well stop using computers (which would probably be a good idea :)
given how common it is for many people to have docker stuff running as root or just #yolo curl | sh installing stuff, the X11 security model is really.. not the thing i'd be worried about.
i bet there are other ways to keylog even with the wayland security measures. the only way to security is to just not run random garbage on your system. unfortunately we're getting there with snaps and flatpaks and docker.
"but it's all containerized!111" - you can also break out from xen hypervisor stuff. those things were never designed for security.

"kids"? was? öffentlich rechtlich ist echt nur noch peinlich langsam.
@thor sorry, just shitposting :)
@thor because you'll likely cut yourself on it :P

note that i'm not a wayland expert..
it's not that the x api is good, more that the choices wayland made are not good, imho. e.g. i think that the way window managers are done with x11 is good. that other client windows can read the screen and input devices on X is based on the assumption that your X clients are trustworthy. wayland seems do think otherwise, missing that anything on your computer should be trustworthy in the first place.
@velartrill i really like drew devaults stuff, but his fandom of wayland is mistaken imho.
@velartrill i think how sane people are has much to do with how distributed, multimedia affine ("sharing" pictures, videos, etc.), and restricted in design a platform/protocol is. a cube of sanity, if you want ;)

_based_ as the kids would say!
@velartrill i think it didn't hurt me, but then i was hanging out in irc and playing team fortress classic, not doing vanity stuff on myspace :) it was _cool_ if you had your own page, not something social media pleb. i knew some artsy photography girls who even did their own pages.

what really is disturbing that the vegan fish sticks actually smell like fish. however they do _that_.
the youtube channel of john campbell is really nice. he is rather good in explaining scientific stuff for the laymen while staying scientific and not falling down the common over-simplification trap (or notices if he does). the nice thing about this his approach of just explaining interesting papers is that, critics can't really argue that he's unscientific :)
state licensed lolbert and hypernatalist with a breeding kink. never watched rick & morty and i'm proud of it.
don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust. Finger über dem Blocken-Knopf.", "Wie gesagt, du kannst der Diskussion inhaltlich nicht folgen."
