  • As an addition to other responses, think that most apps (specially smaller ones) are developed using some framework or set of libraries that might or might not support those protocols.

    So let’s pretend that I have an app buit using Electron and that framework does not support Wayland. There’s nothing I can do on the app side until Electron supports Wayland in this fake example.

    So it actually takes time for the libraries to support the new protocol and then app developers to update their apps to support it aswell.

    That’s why you see that the Wayland migration is incremental and not all at once.


  • Only if every btc node used this binary but because it’s decentralized theres multiple people compiling the source so the affected binary would not be affected.

    In centralized software something like this is way easier. VSCode for example adds proprietary telemetry on top of their open source code and because most people downloads from the website instead of compiling, they ended up using a software that diverges the source code implementation. But even in this case you could use Codium that implements the source code version.









  • Sorry, I’m not following you. We’re discussing if deregulation is always bad or not, and my point is that it can be bad in excess.

    The article points to some corruption that happened at the time, which is correct, but it does not discuss anything about the benefits (or lack of it) for the end user after the deregulation.

    If we could prove that if we kept excess regulation in the market as it was before, people still could have access to telecommunication as we have today, my point should be wrong. But its not the article discussion or what you’re saying now.

    Notice that I’m not defending 100% deregulation, even in the Brazilian example the market is still regulated today, just way less than it was 20 years ago. If we have no data caps for residential internet around here, its because of a regulation, not companies good faith for example.

    Out of curiosity I asked chatgpt to list examples similar to the Brazilian one and it listed a few:

    United Kingdom - Energy Deregulation Japan - Rail Deregulation New Zealand - Telecommunications Deregulation Australia - Banking Deregulation Sweden - Postal Service Deregulation

    Truth is, its really hard to prove that something “is always” good or bad, as it will need to go over all cases and prove the point one by one. Normally economic discussions are applied to a society or sector, so we could say “in the US deregulation is often bad”, which is much more fair and easy to prove.
