I didn't look into Wayland yet, but XWayland is not the real thing, right?
Is it impossible for my graphics card vendor to do full Wayland support while keeping its driver closed?

Quoting: HoriWasn't "it" the neutral one?
"It" is for things (and most animals, I guess), while "they" is for persons with either unknown gender or where it doesn't matter.

I've got a question too, though. Please take it as what it is - purely an interest in the language and its current usage ("they" for persons wasn't a thing when I learned English in school...). I'm not aware of any gender "unusualities" (trans, demi/diverse gender or whatever) of Ethan Lee and think they're male. If that's right, how "usual" is it to use singular they/them in such a case? What would be the wild guess of native speakers which percentage of people would use these words in such a case?

I just wondered yesterday, reading about Apple's new ARM processor: What will Steam be doing?

33% on GoG (and they also have a Deluxe version xD)
Ha, Also Known As; Game + Soundtrack.
The manual is in the extra edition, too (which I find strange, but I'll probably get the game with manual, but discounted).

I wasn't aware of the slight increase in Linux users. Nice! Still thinking about going back to dual booting after five years Linux only...

Happy holidays, happy new year!
It can't get worse... or can it? X)

Now that's the spirit...! ;)

Quoting: soulsourceI wonder if granting demands still _lowers_ the AI's opinion of you, or if this has finally been fixed?
Hm. :)

Of course it doesn't make sense from a tactical point of view, but if I - which I herewith do - demand a hundred bucks from you, and you would actually grant it, it would really lower my opinion of you. :D
