I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strength was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?

It's literally the opposite. Windows aren't allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it's unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn't have that.

If they can built space rockets that can carry payload to orbit, they can build ICBMs. First space launchers were modified ICBMs after all.

Does USA not have mandatory safety tests for vehicles?

Does it really matter? It's the usual corporate intrigues/power struggle/backstabbing/whatever. Just for some reason leaked into public view instead of being behind the scenes like it's normally done, probably because someone is stupid.

I don't mind them raising minimum requirements if they actually use features of newer hardware (cough unlike Windows 11 cough), but requiring upscaling is never a good sign. It's just a cost-cutting strategy that allows them to spend even less money on optimization work while reallocating that money to marketing budget or exec bonuses or whatever, at the cost of visual fidelity. It doesn't benefit customers in any way, quite the opposite.

In modern games it's more like finding 100 "Speak to X" entries in your journal and then futilely trying to remember what the fuck you are supposed to talk to them about because you acquired these quests 50 hours ago (often without any interaction from the player) and the game refuses to tell you. Bonus points when it's actually a delivery stage for a fetch quest and when you find this NPC they just say "thanks bro for helping me out" and that's it (last few BioWare games are especially guilty of that). And you have no idea what the hell did you do because it was so long ago.

Potatoes? You mean PCs with < $1000 GPUs?
I'm not touching Starfield until I can play it at 1440p 60 fps with decent graphics (yes, actual 1440p, not "720p upscaled to 1440p" bullshit. Neither that nor 30 fps are acceptable to me).

If Bethesda can't be bothered to fix performance and I will need to wait years until I decide to upgrade so be it - I have plenty of great games in my "to play" list. By that time the will also be lots of mods to choose from to make Starfield worth it.

They are personalised by the "bucket" that data collection companies like Google or Facebook placed you into based on profiling. Browsing and search history is only one of the factors that is taken into account when you are profiled, there are myriad more ways to collect data about you.
And then what ads you see is determined by what advertisers think your "bucket" wants. If you are male in your 20s living in rural USA and advertisers think that males in their 20s living in rural USA are interested in guns, then that's what you will see - even if you never clicked on gun ad or searched for guns on Google.

It's also the home of people being drafted (even more so than for political elite of the country). If some of them want to get the fuck out (yes, from their home) then those thay have elected shouldn't have the right to force them to stay and die.

Microsoft fights very hard to keep governments across the planet use Windows and other Microsoft products (it's very lucrative market because of corruption and the fact that government regulations on what their employees must use are slow to change once established). And they have very close relationship with USA government specifically.

That's how they do it. They send their "proposal" and immediately implement it in Chrome (with work on that being started long before "proposal" is made public obviously). Then they start using it on their own websites (with compatibility for now) and start propaganda campaign to push webdevs to use it too (which they do of course). Then they start complaining that other browsers' developers are slow to implement this new "standard" (at this stage they won't call it a "proposal" anymore) and are "stifling development of the web" or being actively malicious because they are jealous of Chrome or something. Then compatibility mode on their websites is first subtly broken so that users once again will witness how Chrome is superior browser and then removed outright. Boom, we have a new web standard!

Now it looks like it's hiding something.
