...especially when they don't bother to fix years (sometimes decades) old bugs.

Where are my Outer Wilds boys at?

I don't want to step on your workflow too much since it somehow seems to work for you but your main issue stems from the fact that you clearly don't work with your server as if it actually was a server.

You shouldn't really have a desktop interface running there in the first place (let alone as root and then using it as a regular user). You should ask yourself what it actually solves for you and be open to trying different (and more standard) solutions to what you're trying to achieve.

It'd probably consist of less clicking and using the CLI a bit more, but for stuff like file management you can still easily use mc.

If you need terminal sessions that keep scrollback and don't stop when you disconnect you should learn to use tmux or screen or something like that. But then again if you're running actual software in there then you should probably use a service (daemon) for that.

As for whether it's a security issue, yeah it most definitely is. Just like it's a security issue to run literally any networked application as root. Security isn't black and white and there are trade offs to be made but most people wouldn't consider what you're doing a reasonable tradeoff.

As someone using Wayland on a HiDPI screen it's not a great experience with legacy apps. You can't completely rely on application-controlled scaling since not all apps support it and if you switch to system-wide scaling everything looks like crap.

Because there really isn't one, lol.

By the time an attacker has a write access to your boot permission everything else is kinda fucked already.

Ehh there is only so much a single person can care about. If you have a life and aren't effectively an activist/lobbyis by profession you can't care about politics both local and global, preserving nature and ecolody, world hunger & disease, and a million other things like which software company is less evil all at once and follow through 100%, supporting all of the causes meaningfully.

Not to mention we have to make compromises, too.

There’s one and literally only one browser that actually stands for all the things the most vocal people around here claim to care about.

Hard disagree. Firefox had its fair share of controversies, it's still technically funded by Google (while not accepting donations), and Mozilla Foundation as a nonprofit is pretty questionable too.

The leadership of Mozilla Corporation is shit too like any other corp; they lay off engineers and give themselves huge bonuses.

It takes them years to even acknowledge simple bugs, let alone actually getting to fix them.

A huge part of why Firefox lost the "browser wars" is also that they failed to make it easy to build into other apps so it could work more like Electron, while also pissing off users with surface changes that break their workflow.

Overall it's better than Chrome especially if you care about privacy, but it's not a huge win.

Or maybe Firefox should find a sustainable business model.

I love and use Firefox the software, but their nonprofit is questionable, their leadership is scummy, and their business plan is nonexistent. They could, for example, start by accepting donations towards the development of the actual browser, which is the core product of Mozilla.

Well I (not OP) would love me some actual Mass Effect 4, for example. Not really excited for a sci-fi Bethesda RPG though.

Additionally use any report functionality at your disposal, which may cause some mail providers to block them or cause them to offer proper opt out in the future.

All marketing emails are supposed to have a simple opt out without needing anything other than your email address.

And they wouldn't watch Linus video on it going on the wrong gpu.

They absolutely would, it's literally the only video on it in huge part because Linus managed to give away the only prototype without permission, accidentally ensuring exclusivity.

And sure, they'd know he fucked up but it might still sway their opinion, maybe even unconsciously.

Oh and when you ask what Linus is going to do to prevent crap like this in the future (after already tripling down on their stupidity with the testing) is "nothing, it's a one in ten years occurrence".

The guy absolutely can't stop jamming his foot in his mouth.

The irony bring that Reddit itself doesn't ban piracy related stuff as long as you don't outright post links publicly... It's a shitty kind of platform to do that anyway.

The fediverse really needs some kind of universal login and a way to easily migrate accounts between instances.
