It looks like this works by following accessibility standards. I'm not sure if an accessibility standard for input fields on Linux, but if it does it should be possible.
Wayland supports global shortcuts using the global shortcuts portal, so it should be possible. There's an app called espanso that automatically expands text on Wayland, I imagine similar methods could be used for this.
I would definitely recommend trying therapy. Self help and meds will both help, but, for me, therapy made the biggest difference in the long run.
Neat, I haven't tried the Jitsi integration so I wasn't aware it had persistent rooms. That's the main thing I need to exist, I'll have to give it a try. Although, I do still greatly prefer the format of servers and channels, rather than spaces and rooms.
Channels that function similar to discords? You can start a voice call in a room or create voice calls, but those function pretty differently from Discord voice channels.
I love Matrix but it really isnt a good discord replacement. It's much closer to Telegram or Lemmy. It doesnt even have voice channels, the main reason everyone I know uses Discord. I hope we do get a proper decentralized discord alternative at some point.
Fair enough, I haven't worked in an industry with requirements like that. Can you share an example of software you would use for a setup like that? I'm interested in learning more about it. I wonder how many companies are currently using a solution like that with Linux.
Wayland itself isn't doing anything to prevent those solutions from working, but nobody has chosen to create a solution like that supporting Wayland. If the companies working on and funding Wayland need a solution like that, then they can make or fund it.
Right now, Wayland is good enough to be used on employee workstations for most peoples day to day work, because most people dont work at a company using a solution like you described.
After 15 years, Wayland is lacking some things X11 has, but has also far surpassed it in many ways. Linux is now usable on HiDPI and has proper color management. Companies like Redhat aren't picking features at random, they're prioritizing what their biggest customers need, because thats what makes money. Again, just to reiterate, Wayland supports the usecases you've described, but companies haven't made software for this usecases that works with Wayland.
Wayland may not be a better replacement for you, but is sure is for a ton of users and organizations.
A lot of brands make extra creamy versions that work better in coffee imo. Some sell a barista version which is also extra creamy and designed to steam well for lattes. Theyre more calorie dense though, so you kinda lose one of the main benefits. My favorite milk for lattes is ultra-filtered whole milk.
SpeedRunners, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Duck Game, Towerfall Ascension, and Stick Fight are some of my favorites. Crawl is also really good, but a bit more complex so depends on the age of the kids. Also can never go wrong with a platform fighter, Rivals of Aether 2 is great.
Rustdesk is an alright remote desktop option, although it definitely far from perfect. Wayland offers the support remote desktop needs, this is just up to someone wanting a solution enough to make it.
I agree that the "every frame being perfect" thing was dumb, but tearing support exists so its not really a complaint anymore.
Nvidia does work fine on every major Wayland implementation.
Screensharing works fine.
I understand the disappointment in how long Wayland is taking to be a perfect replacement to X11, but a proper replacement should absolutely not be rushed. X11 released 40 years ago, 15 years to make a replacement with better security and more features is fine.
Wayland has put a huge emphasis on improved security, which is also one of the biggest reasons some features have taken so long. This is a good thing, rushing insecure implementations of features is a horrible idea for modern software that will hopefully last a long time.
In its current state, Wayland is already good for the large majority of use cases.
What issues do half of your X11 apps? Ive never had an issue with an X11 app running through Xwayland, although I also dont have many X11 apps left.
Plasma and Hyprland already have one
Things like desktop automation, screen sharing, screen recording, remote desktop etc. are incredibly broken, with no hope in sight because the core design of Wayland simply didn't account for them(!?), apparently.
All of those things function on Wayland using the right protocols. If they dont work for you, either the DE/WM you use has not implemented the protocols, or the app you're using has chosen not to implement Wayland support yet.
For automation there is ydotool and wlrctl. Ive also seen a tool called Hawck which seems neat, but I haven't tried it.
I've never seen an issue with screen recording, OBS has worked fine with Wayland for a long time. I use GPU Screen Recorder on Wayland everyday.
Screensharing portals have existed for a while now, I haven't run into any apps that still haven't implemented them. Ive used it just fine on Discord and through multiple browsers.
Remote desktop also has a portal that any remote desktop app could implement. Rustdesk has experimental Wayland support which has worked for me. GNOME and Plasma also have built in RDP.
I use Voyager on mobile most of the time, but still do a little browsing on my desktop using Photon.

Fair enough, definitely depends on your taste! Just wanted to make sure anyone reading didn't think it was legit US Military propaganda lol
Ive seen a staggering amount of students who relied entirely on AI fail out of the masters program I'm in. Cheating only gets you so far.
Whether you like Lemmy.world or not, its probably not a good idea for this community to remain on an instance that is failing to remove CSAM.
Since they refer to it as "very illegal" and say it originates from an attack, it is almost certainly CSAM.
I wouldn't call them undertones and its entirely satirical, unlike COD.
Trouble migrating data to new ZFS pool
I am upgrading my drives and have created a new pool. The original pool had a drive fail, but it has since been replaced. Each drive CKSUM value is at 4.04k and pool had two files with permanent errors. I deleted those, but it now shows this:
undefined
errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files: zfsa:<0x8220> zfsa:<0x8056>
When I try to create a snapshot and send it to the new pool. After a few terabytes, it fails with this error warning: cannot send 'zfsa@zpool_transfer': insufficient replicas
.
CKSUM was always at zero until the first drive failed. The data is not important and I don't care about whatever is corrupt, I just want to get the data to the new pool.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I have scrubbed the pool many times.
Another edit: I've also tried using zpool clear
as well. Despite the high checksum errors I've had no issues outside the two now deleted files. The pool is used for a media server which has been working perfectly.

Issues with SAS controllers and drives
I was looking to upgrade my storage and was recommended to go with used SAS drives and an LSI SAS controller. I purchased an LSI 9211-8i HBA, 8TB Seagate Exos drives, and these cables. The drives are not spinning up at all when connected to the power supply. Are these cables not the right choice for this?
Edit: I have confirmed that a regular SATA drive works if connected with an SFF-8087 to Sata cable. Either I've somehow received 10 dead drives or I'm not powering them right.
Edit 2: I'm guessing its related to this: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/84038-so-your-new-sas-or-sata-drive-wont-start-spin-up/
What an irritating issue.
So my options seem to be:
Looking for advice for media server storage expansion
I currently have a pretty simple media server. It runs on a desktop made of old parts and has 4 6 TB drives in a raidz1 array. It is used by a lot of friends who add a lot of media, so its been nearly at capacity for a while. The desktop has no more open SATA ports or drive enclosures, so I'm not sure what the best option for adding more drives is.
I know the most obvious answer is buying NAS, but I think it might be a little complex for what I need, because no other devices need any access to this storage. I was considering purchasing a DAS, as it seems like a simple option, but I've seen many people say its not worth purchasing a DAS over a NAS. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions! I'm likely going to go with a new case for some extra drive bays and a PCI-E SAS controller, this seems like the best option for the simplicity and price!
A new Proton Experimental change makes modding easier!

Looking for software KVM I can't remember the name of (solved)
Fairly recently, I saw an app that served the same purpose as Barrier or Input-leap, allowing you use one computer to control the keyboard and cursor of multiple. I'm fairly certain it was designed with GTK 4, or maybe 3, and it had Wayland support. I've had no luck getting input-leap working well on my devices, so if anyone knows what app this was (or any other options) I would really appreciate it.
Update: Despite searching for 15 minutes before posting, I found it seconds later, thanks to DDGs reddit bang. It is lan-mouse. Will leave this up in case this software comes in handy for others.

Removing unwanted audio tracks and subs
Do any of you have any software you can recommend for removing unwanted audio tracks and subtitles? Some of my shows and movies have multiple, and the Roku app does not follow the users set default language, leading to it playing the wrong track when autoplaying.
I've tried unmanic, but its unfortunately too heavy for my server, just slows everything to a crawl.

I'm not the creator of this video, but I wanted to share it because Warfork is an incredibly fun game and more people should be playing it. It's not super populated, but you can usually find a good match. Highly recommend trying it if you enjoy (or want to try) arena shooters!

Devs Announce Faceit Anticheat for BattleBit will be compatible with Linux, Steam Deck
cross-posted from [email protected]
Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn't be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.
With this announcement on the dev team's community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.
