    It was an issue with Wayland. Before that we had X11, where global shortcuts wasn't an issue.

    Apple phones used to have headphone jacks, removable batteries, and expandable memory.

    We didn't lost shortcuts to everything. It's only about global shortcuts, all other still work. And given the Wayland global shortcuts are now functional and officially supported, its not the same situation anymore. The difference to iPhones is, that you cannot do anything about it on iPhone. On Wayland however desktops environments such as KDE, GNOME and Hyperland could implement a custom variant (or the draft version of the portal) and have it functional; it was just not a standard.

    So no, the situation is not entirely comparable. We are not at mercy by one single company.

    HOLY FUCK

    This person on the internet gives a shit! Going back to your webshit browser only adds .25 seconds on tiling and .5 on floating. So much time to do useful stuff, like playing your games with strangers on the interwebs!

    Also

    Linux didn't have the most basic voice chat function up to now???? :O

    WHO the actual FUCK submitted voice chat to the Linux mailing list? Was it some @redhat.com guy again? Or was it some LLM owned by Broadcom? Torvalds accepts anything at this point, he got the AI psychosis. Oh, you are talking about Discord, and specifically the .deb files from their website people fuck with to run, only to have another copy of Chromium? Holy fucking shit.
