Congrats. If you personally didn't have an issue, that's great. It still doesn't take much light to cause your eyes to stop being adjusted to the dark. That's the main issue, the other mentioned factors definitely didn't help either.

Might be worth looking into and reporting as a bug. I use wayland and very commonly watch a high quality video on one monitor and whole games on my other just fine.

That's not the only comment he left on this post.. And that's not how my comment is meant to be read. More a "Once you get it set up, it runs itself." doesn't matter your skill level. I mention my experience to give credit to my perspective, since I've been a dumbass at this stuff before, so know how it is.

I work in software and manage hosted services myself, for personal and professional purposes. Once set up, it's pretty easy. It's once an issue like this arises that it can become a bit of a nightmare. What I'm going on about is the dude putting in well over an hour, at least, of typing about his little conspiracy theory. Could something sketchy be happening? Yes. Is it likely? No.

As someone who works in security, I don't personally recommend self hosting your password manager unless you're planning on never opening it up outside your network or you're willing to be on top of all potential security issues. These are your account credentials we're talking about. You WANT them safe, and the people paid to make sure they stay secure are likely going to do a better job than you.

A preference for digital media and requiring someone to edit a file then recompile the project are two different things entirely. I don't care for star wars and wouldn't care what images they had from those movies, but even though I'm a dev and absolutely could build the source if needed. I'm quite likely not going to care enough to do that. A user that has never messed with source code is likely not going to be comfortable doing all that.

You gotta remember that your average user isn't a dev. They aren't someone who's used to modifying configs to set something up. They're more like your grandmother who isn't even comfortable looking into the settings app on their phone.

Helps clear up the text, as you won't have two slightly different perspectives trying to read an already straining message

Online voting for the US election allows for much much easier tampering from foreign and domestic powers. It's a method with way to many severe issues to use on a massive scale, as convenient as it would be.

Many of the complaints are that the game released broken and took so long to get to a finished state. Updates and DLC weren't meant to be for finishing an unfinished and broken game post-launch but to improve and expand upon a finished game. If it were launched as a beta, that's a different story, but this was sold and advertised as a finished, functional product.
