The Linux Kernel & GNOME Desktop Preparing For Privacy Screen Support

Are you serious? I mean, didn't you realize I was joking?

Regardless of your intent, I was just adding some context, in case anyone is unfamiliar with how this feature gets used.

Canonical is part of GNOME.

This is one of your poorer trolling attempts. Canonical has some employees that contribute to GNOME. That does not make them part of GNOME. Canonical is a separate entity that does plenty of things unrelated to GNOME. Get some new material.

Poe's law refers to parodies of extreme views, so extreme to be similar to parodies themselves. The common and most widespread reason to use a privacy screen is not that extreme... and it's not to look at porn in public places (obviously). You described that yourself after all.

Besides, I'm sure that, if Nathan Poe said so, it must be true (I'm joking again): there are plenty of parodies and jokes written in books well before emoticons were even a thing.

Anyway, I'm not a writer, nor native english speaker, so I may well be hard to understand.

Regardless of your intent, I was just adding some context, in case anyone is unfamiliar with how this feature gets used.

Yes, that's actually a good thing, thanks, though I can't imagine anyone not getting it straight from the feature name: "privacy screen".

DanL Calm down would you?

Did you see any exclamation points, caps lock, bold/large fonts, or anything like that in my last post? Nope. Telling me to calm down makes zero sense, as with many of your posts.
