Linux@programming.dev•Zoom update triggers privacy risk by slurping Linux clipboards
8·1 day agoI understood that all X11 apps running under Wayland are running inside the same environment, or is that wrong?
In other words, all X11 clipboards are shared.
I’m also not sure about clipboard isolation, since I’d have thought that copy/paste between Wayland and X11 would be expected.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could be any inanimate object in the year 1959, what would it be, and why?
21·2 days agoThe bolt that holds the flag pole unfurling mechanism planted on the moon by the Apollo 11 crew, because it’s likely to be part of human history for quite some time to come.
Also, I’m aware that the moon landing wasn’t in 1959, but I imagine a NASA engineer pulling it out of a bucket of bolts from previous projects, ie. memorable place in history, not particularly noticeable or special.
Disclaimer: I have no knowledge whatsoever of the actual construction of the flagpole or its origins.

On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists who were members of al-Qaeda, an Islamist extremist network, hijacked four California-bound commercial airplanes shortly after their departures from airports in Boston, Massachusetts; Newark, New Jersey; and Washington, D.C. In a coordinated attack that transformed the planes into weapons, the hijackers intentionally flew two of the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, and another into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Learning about the other hijackings through telephone calls, passengers and crew members on the fourth plane launched a counterattack. When the passengers attempted to breach the cockpit, the hijacker pilot, who had changed course toward the nation’s capital, crashed the plane into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, near the town of Shanksville.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed on that day, the single largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil, and the greatest single loss of rescue personnel in American history. Approximately two billion people, almost one third of the world’s population, are estimated to have witnessed these horrific events directly or via television, radio, and Internet broadcasts that day.
