Xorg is dead, long live Wayland - Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) dropping Xorg

Few times i have tested wayland with KDE and Gnome.. its been a horrible unstable mess.
Since i use MATE as my Desktop Environment, i dont really have a choice currently either, so i dont really pay attention to the hypetrains going on with wayland. Everything i use/need works perfectly on X11 so far so no rush with that.

Will see again in 2 years

So its almost 2 days now, they had a small update yesterday but i dont see the .so file still.
People playing with the old .so file just fine. How come its so hard for them to just fix that issue...

Quoting: benstor214I wish I could do business with you. Your money seems to be accessible enough. :wink:

In my opinion, the fact that this happens repeatedly is even more reason to loose the green check mark.
But of course apologists of giant corporations see it different: it’s completely okay for me to sell you a product that frequently stops working, because I couldn’t care less about you. Can I sell you a car that just stops running randomly because I “forgot” to click a button again? I mean… it would just be a simple mistake, right?

I wish I had a business where I could scam naïve apologists all day long. With customers like you it’s easy to afford a third yacht. :whistle:
I didn't try to defend the devs/publisher at all. I was just saying that those things happen in software world.
It's still shitty thing to happen and that the fix is still not applied.

edit: it was more aimed at the comments like

"Yeah, they intentionally removed the file"

Worked for me.
you found a fix from 2 years old reddit thread? the .so file was updated in february and since then it has had thesame sha256sum

i made a backup of the file before update
$ sha256sum ./easyanticheat_x64.so

people claim it works fine with that sha256sum of the file. I will wait for official fix though, but if anyone is in need of that file.. ask.

People are so fast to talk shit about it imo.
Games break on windows also with updates. Devs forget things, push wrong builds etc. It isn't the first time. taking the verified badge away just for a mistake is kinda weird imo. They are in progress of fixing it.. Taking long time though for a simple file being missing, but shit happens i guess.

They probably forgot it or maybe they switched to the new EOS-EAC which doesnt even require that file.

Here we go again i guess... made a backup of the .so file before game update, just in case

Discord for Linux gets Flathub Verified

Quoting: PhiladelphusHmm, might have to switch over if the Flatpak version actually auto-updates. I'm sick and tired of having to manually download the .deb and `sudo dpkg` it every time there's a version update. "Must be your lucky day, there's a new update!"…no, that's not what's going through my head, Discord.
You can just use the ~/.config/discord/settings.json modifications with
"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true
and keep using it until the repo has an updated version.

looks like the developers fixed it already, so people who play this game can try again:
