Sounds like GNOME pisses you off. Try a window manager/compositor that is not designed by lunatics who think the OK/Cancel buttons should be at the top of the window when everything else reads left-to-right/top-to-bottom, and that every application should provide its own window decorations so every application looks wildly different. Maybe you would prefer https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/

Also, X11 is decades of half-baked garbage hacks piled on top of half-baked garbage. Wayland fixes real problems.

    Because the priority is not making secure apps, the priority is not being responsible for security incidents. The lawyers at the company making shitty apps (e.g.: your bank) want to be able to say "We followed industry best practices, which is whatever Google said to do".

    That being said: root, unlocked bootloader, and custom ROMs can all be big security problems. But if your bank's app will not work on GrapheneOS, your bank just sucks.

    That closing the last tab closes the window instead of leaving you with a blank tab. And that there is not even an option in the UI to change this, and you have to go to about:config -> browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab.

    I went shopping with my partner for a lamp. On the positive side, when store employees get chatty, my partner handles the smalltalk. On the negative side, I knew what I wanted the lamp to do; my partner had vague feelings about how they wanted the lamp to make them feel. We did not find a lamp that instilled the right feelings.

    It was not a total loss, I bought a lamp for my work desk so I can see better for writing and soldering. And I got some poffertjes from a street vendor.

    Yet another critical vulnerability in systemd

    This is a critical vulnerability in snapd, not systemd. It sounds like it could also be exploited if something other than systemd deleted the files in /tmp/. Or if /tmp/ was not mounted.

    Are you suggesting that the Working Families candidate running for council of my small city is a Russian asset?

    Are you suggesting that instead I must vote for the Democrat mayor who got busted for not actually living in the city when she admitted it when her ex-husband was busted for selling drugs out of the house that she claimed to live in (and where her children did live), and then got busted for campaign finance violations but was still allowed to run again?

    Or the Democrat state senator who repeatedly defended sex offenders in the Senate?

    Or the Democrat governor who gave a billion dollars of taxpayer money to out-of-state billionaires to build a new head-injury stadium (that the state would not own). And who tried to kill congestion pricing in NYC?

    You and the vote-blue-no-matter-who people can fuck all the way off if you refuse to put good candidates.
