Ah, you know, I can't care. There is no hardware issue.
Xorg.0.log has nothing personal in it, unless you count the hostname on the kernel cmdline. As your edition omits that which might confirm whether you might have any hardware issue, I'm hard pressed to think of any more help I might offer to ease your pain, even though I have multiple machines with Intel 4 Series video.
The system itself is personal, because not everyone has the same laptop. Even saying that it is a laptop is in itself an information leak. I'm concerned that there are automated data aggregators that tie all of these things together, much like Google does. If you sign in with 2 diffent google accounts on the same IP-address, Google probably ties them together. There might be other parties that might be interested in even more data. I'm concerned that they are so advanced in this that should conditions warrant it, a complete profile of your person can be had, including the computer devices you use. Any form of public relevation of your computer internals is an information leak. In that regard. The open source promise of random people helping you with computer issues you did not really even ask for, and having to... Like, if you want to report a bug, some sites in the OSS world require you to submit a complete hardware profile. Something that would normally happen internal to an organisation, happens in the open in OSS, including all data that belongs to your person or your computer that is needed for performing the task. It is one reason why I feel OSS is not so great. Even IRC chat logs are all indexed by google. It may be one reason why people are trying to keep those channels clean, including this one. If I search own nicks/names on google I sometimes run into IRC chat logs. That means I may have asked a personal question on computing and it is now public record. That means aggregators can now tie my nick (which is a common nick of mine on IRC) to software I'm using. Harvesters can easily discover what IRC channels I have visited. My profile is available. There are even computers or networks "for educational purposes" who publicly log when you logged in to their system!. With a normal company and its customer support portal, all messages would be confidential. Here, it is even being indexed by google, the most common, non-specialist search engine there is. I know many authors in OSS give away everything they have and are for free; and there is a lot of stealing taking place. Everything has to be "free". There was a dude on a customer support page for a commercial Version Control System for software who demanded that the entire source code of that commercial website be made "free", in other words: given away for free for all who want it. Well, he wanted to pay money for it, but that doesn't change the thing. Their code is worth much more than some subscription payment of someone who wants to hawk away their code and their secrets. In OSS everything is in the open but you also have no privacy and no personal belongings; everything seems to be owned by everyone; publish early and publish often. Even the prospect of cleaning up your release history (rewriting Git) is often met with scorn. People feel everything you do should always be entirely public, it seems. I feel "public Git" is like a contradiction. Public is meant for releases; even if you publicise your code (which I like) you don't have to publicise its creative history. I am constantly encountering email address I've used making it onto spam lists. I can often track the source of this because I use many. I know for example messages on the site for PHP development gets extracted by harvesters. I know mailing lists are not secure; I regularly come across such email addresses being harvested in whatever way. Recently (today) a spammer sent email directly to the members of a mailing list on a proxy server software. Perhaps he just aggregated by being on that list himself. But to get back to the story at hand: I did not really request hardware help from you. I don't know why you want it. There is just a 0% chance I have a hardware issue. I do not experience extreme lags in my system. I'm sorry if I made it out to be. The things are have described are all mostly and most! -- designer choice. The fact that a window display is instant but the window switching itself is not: that is a choice made by someone who didn't really think about it. What I'm trying to do is to get people to THINK, but it is not very successful thus far. In doing so I am also thinking myself, so it works both ways. Any case, thank you for your help and your good humour, good will. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
