    This sentence is stupid as hell!!! eg.: How about graphic editor like

    Blender, without drag-and-drop feature?!? This is impossible and
    nonsense!!!

    The same is true for all Libre Office apps, especially for LO Writer
    word processor.

    The same is true for all non-linear audio and video editors, like for
    e.g. Audacity and Kdenlive.


    GUI file managers and Desktop file icons also use drag and drop.

    Sir Lawrence, you are going to be hard-pressed to convince any but the
    most wide-eyed and gullible that Usenet is, in fact, the Internet.


    Hmm. Let's see. I can access Usenet via the NNTP protocol on
    TCP port 119. That sure sounds like "Internet" to me.

    In fact, Usenet, just like ftp, used to accessible within browsers.

    I suspect that this ignoramus buffoon actually meant to claim that
    Usenet is not the "World Wide Web."


    I forgot to mention that Usenet has it's own URL scheme. To access
    Usenet just enter into your browser:

    news://<message-id>

    But most, if not all, current browsers, will choke on that. The fault,
    of course, is the browser as this is a perfectly legitimate URL scheme.


    On Librewolf, it just asks what program to open it in, and offers to set default. Doesn't work with slrn, but it does definitely /sort of/
    support the scheme.

    This post proves my assertion that there are no gurus on this dump,
    but only ignoramus dumb-fucks.

    To effect true D&D (and not the copy-paste actions in CAD, etc.) an Interprocess Communication (IPC) is required. Currently, IPC within
    desktop environments is effected with dbus. IOW, if one wants D&D
    then one must have IPC and IPC is usually only characteristic of a
    desktop environment (DE). But not all GNU/Linux systems (certainly
    not mine) are DEs. Outside of a DE there will be no D&D and that
    is the only way to go.

    An intelligent person (none on this dump) would have immediately
    assocated the OP with the degeneracy of DEs.

    Get some brains and then come back.

    Current browsers have eliminated nearly all Internet protocols other
    than http/https. I believe that browsers even no longer support ftp,
    so we will need other programs for that.

    In fact Chrome probably won't support http in the near future. In
    the deranged, security-obsessed minds of Google fascists (i.e. developoers) only https will be permitted.
