Stop spamming LLM slop, OP.

No average user would be able to look up what commands to run? Because newsflash: unlike Windows, searching for a common problem on Linux normally turns up a solution written by a human who knows what they’re talking about.

“Windows doesn’t even have basic package management like every Unix-like OS does so you don’t have to individually update applications and go find them on the Internet, but this one edge case on Linux requires like two terminal commands (the sudo -i is totally superfluous if you just put sudo in front of commands) instead of installing an entire separate tool you’ll ever use one time like on Windows and which an average user wouldn’t even know exists. Therefore Linux is more complicated.”

Incidentally, here’s what Microsoft officially recommends for the “average user” regarding PowerToys:

It’s insane how nose-blind Windows users are to how user-unfriendly their OS is.

Any chance of something like OpenWrt?

Juno was mad, he knew he’d been had…

Funnily enough, that Unidan copypasta is 100% correct. I don’t know why, for as long-winded as it is, though, he doesn’t use more taxonomic names to make it precise: jackdaws are in genus Coloeus, and crows and ravens are in genus Corvus, both under family Corvidae. The apes are the primate superfamily Hominoidea*, which Homo sapiens sits under. There, Unidan; that’s all you had to say.

* To clarify, not “are in” – are. You are an ape if and only if your species is in this superfamily.

For those who might be confused, “daddy longlegs” colloquially refers to two totally separate things. Spiders are of the order Araneae under class Arachnida (they’re arachnids; go figure).

“Daddy longlegs” often refers to cellar spiders, the family Pholcidae within the spiders. However, “daddy longlegs” also refers to another order of arachnids altogether called Opiliones, also known as harvestmen. So if this doesn’t look like the daddy longlegs you know, that’s why; they’re not a “different type” of the cellar spider you’re familiar with.

(At a glance, this article needs some touching up and hasn’t been meaningfully contributed to in some years.)

Also, if you put your image(s) under a compatible license (CC BY-SA or less restrictive), we on Wikipedia also pull from iNaturalist for images to add to Wikimedia Commons. It helps a surprising amount.

Correct, as it has to. In addition to behavior, CheckUsers use IP addresses to help identify sockpuppets. If you could bypass the exemption by just saying “here’s a new account; pls exempt”, it would quickly become common knowledge among sockmasters that all they need is to quickly ask and be accepted days later.

At that point, the block on proxy editing near-completely fails at one of its main functions.

I don’t know what you mean by “identify yourself”. You need an account with a trustworthy history of editing, at which point you can request the exemption.

You can get an exception.

True. Facebook from its inception as Facemash was a way for creepy, misogynist slimeballs to ogle and “rank” women they went to school with against their consent by harvesting public databases. “It was just a prank bro.” —Mark ‘Real Human’ Zuckerberg

A lot of decapods* exhibit heterochely (the claws are formally “chelae” and the legs (“pereopods”) that bear them “chelipeds”). Handedness isn’t even necessarily consistent within the same species.

There’s a popular focus on heterochely arising because of different food types, but there are nuances. For example, this is often quite different between males and females.

In addition to just being different in size (allometry), they’re often also different morphologically (in shape). For example, for crabs who prey on bivalves, one claw’s shape may be more suited to crushing and the other’s more suited to handling, rapid movement, cutting, etc. So it’s not just about how big they are as described in the OP.

There’s often also a major element of sexual selection (Mr. Krabs wasn’t lying), and other major uses of claws depending on species are competition (getting into fights) and burrowing.

Etc.

* Lobsters (infraorder Astacidea, family Nephropidae) are decapods (phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Crustacea, class Malacostraca, order Decapoda) (“ten-footed”).

You are actually correct that Wheel11 had 10 other versions. It just happens that those 10 other versions were released before September 1987.

Not sure how this applies when:

• X11 was the only standard prior to Wayland.
• GNOME is dropping X11 in a short time.
• KDE’s telemetry even five months ago showed 80+% of (that portion of) their userbase uses Wayland, and they plan to drop X11 once they have a concrete set of problems worked out.
• Hyprland and Sway run Wayland exclusively.
• Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce are working on Wayland sessions. Cinnamon’s is there but, I think, still experimental.
• Budgie is working to go Wayland-only.
• There’s no sign that Wayland will stop improving from a state that’s arguably already much better than X11.
• X11’s actual maintainers barely want anything to do with it beyond bug fixes, and the only person who wants to “innovate” it via a fork is a bigot and a fucking moron who doesn’t know things you learn in CS 101.
• X11’s maintainers are majorly involved in developing Wayland and have been since the start. This is their idea.

It seems like it went from “Situation: there is one standard” to “Situation: there are two standards developed by largely the same people with one set to replace the other”, and then soon: “Situation: there is one standard and one translation layer kept around for a decade or so for compatibility.”

Not every single time someone tries to make things better is this xkcd relevant; this had nothing to do with unifying standards and everything to do with superseding one.

Has anyone so far stopped you from using your outmoded tangle of garbage? Or do you just not like that major desktop environments are switching to more sensible defaults?

If you’re worried about GNOME 50 dropping X11 in the future… okay? Nobody’s obliged to maintain your shit. Linux is all about choice, and it’s their choice not to spend untold thousands of hours working to keep X11 usable, just like it’s your choice to change your Linux to something that does still use it. Switch to any one of the other desktop environments; see if the Wayland Illuminati or whatever gives a shit.

If “the wheel” is achieved by making literally every application you run a keylogger, I’m very cool with Wayland “reinventing the wheel”. X11’s handling of user input is a fucking embarrassment.

Besides just the Steam Deck and Proton, a big reason people are finally sticking around on Linux is because using X11 feels exactly like what it is: a cobbled-together piece of archaic shit that needs to be left behind.

Wayland by contrast feels fantastic to run, and on my GTX 1070 with proprietary drivers, the only current issue I have with it is how Firefox picture-in-picture popouts don’t stay on top by default.
