Sending pointer requests and scraping the screen is very different to the underlying functionality of i.e XMoveResizeWindow, XSetWindowBorderWidth, XSelectEvent,...

[kpedersen]

A standalone Window Manager can't exist in the Wayland ecosystem. The design of Wayland prevents knowledge of other windows. This is one of the falsely...

I think that project you were referring to was Xweston(?). Basically the Weston compositor that loads up a fullscreen Xweston.
One issue with this...

[kpedersen]

He certainly knows enough to not settle for crapware like the Wayland ecosystem



I think part of the cause of the terrible...

Oh right. Yeah, just run this command and it will update you right up (if your OS of choice clearly separates packages).

# ln -s /usr/X11R6

[kpedersen]

Not quite. As per the X.Org Foundation website here.







Since Wayland is just a protocol (and a...

[kpedersen]

But all the Wayland kids keep saying how the X.Org project is focused on Wayland these days and that "all the developers are Wayland developers"....

[kpedersen]

I kind of get that. It allowed people to express novel ideas with fairly low effort (and lack of decent engineering!). Unity has mostly picked up the...

My flash experience was pretty much:



It was so badly supported in Linux and Solaris and the workarounds for BSDs were even...

Neither is a cheap laptop for a fraction of the price and probably 10x the specs (and screen size).

So I don't really think "openness"...

As is the nature of Wayland compositor ecosystem. No it isn't applicable. The work will need to be duplicated/maintained separately....

It is lower price because it is effectively subsidised hardware for the Steam DRM platform. This is where they will make most of their profits on gamers...

[kpedersen]

Indeed I suppose they would. Though something seems a little strange in terms of priorities. I have tried to distil it in these (admittedly purposefully...

[kpedersen]

Possibly a little off topic but in some ways, I wonder what the fallout would be if future open-source licenses (i.e GPL5, BSD(oversimplified), sMIT)...

[kpedersen]

As is the nature of propaganda and misinformation during wars, there is also many statistics that show otherwise.

Just recently I saw some...

[kpedersen]

No. But I would still take his kidney if I needed it (I would even consider taking two in this specific case).

Do you really think those...

Rejecting software improvements from countries committing war crimes doesn't stop those war crimes from happening. Especially when it is just the plebs...

I imagine Box*6* will need to end up interpreting more if that include the entirety of the Wine binary. Whereas hangover can run more on the native host....

[kpedersen]

Thats quite cool. OpenBSD's installer is the easiest and most streamlined I have ever seen and whilst local physical access to the machine generally means...

The cynic in me reads that as "has posted the initial Rust bindings clutter for review"....
