but in games, triple buffering is the norm
new features are fine. But first and foremost, is not breaking existing apps, or committing to porting them yourself. So if desktop apps need to do xyz, then wayland needs to support doing xyz. period. No ‘but that’s insecure’, no ‘but why would you want to do that’ (for setting a window icon or positioning the window ffs). Support existing applications. I’m not saying it should support x protocols. But it should offer replacement features for existing apps to be ported to. And it needs to be wayland. Because it’s already the case that certain functionality is implemented for gnome, or kde, with incompatible apis, to fill in the void left by wayland itself. If I want an app to work as I want it, consistently, everywhere? X, with all its warts, is my only choice.
As an example, the accessibility protocols. They’re good to have. Except they’re opt-in. So incompatible with existing apps. Some apps need to restrict access. They could declare that and make use of additional functionality. But no, choose a default that break everything instead.
The argument that apps just need to be ported also assumes the app is still maintained. Are you willing to do the work yourself if not? Probably not. You’re just the one looking down on people like me for wanting functionality in existing apps to be “not literally impossible to implement”
I do not care about security risks. If something made its way onto my system, I’ve already lost. I just want one implementation of something that gets the job done. And by “gets the job done” I mean it allows us to do things better, not disallow us from even having the option to do things because someone had their tinfoil hat on too tight. Ffs you can’t even set your window icon. I don’t care if kde has implemented that feature. If I use that, I’d be supporting kde, not wayland. It won’t work on other des and so the maintenance burden increases drastically.
“almost” being the key word there.
xwayland cannot ever be removed, because wayland, by design, will not have enough functionality to replace it. So one can either support X desktop environments with their own individual bugs, or one X implementation that has the needed features and works consistently for all DEs
because for most of them, there is nothing to port them to. Wayland is incomplete… by design.

yeah but at least we’re not told to run sfc /scannow followed by “format your pc” when that inevitably fails to find anything
I usually just ask them to back that assertion up by running “pacman -Rcs xwayland” (or their package manager’s equivalent).
None have taken me up on my request, and they immediately switch to blaming the apps for it, even though some literally cannot be ported.
they don’t work. Technically they do, but they are a major major pain to manage.
fluent in Maltese (native) and English. Conversational in Italian. I was one of the last generations to grow up without the internet, so we had to watch TV. And we’re in close proximty to italy so we could get their channels. It is much less common nowadays for kids to also know Italian here. But people my age have no idea what Dragon Ball Z sounds like in english. We all watched it in Italian.
ansible claims to be lots of things it’s not. It’s supposed to be idempotent. It’s not, you can execute arbitrary scripts. You don’t need an agent on the machines… but it might just decide to stop supporting your version of python one day. It’s okayish for setting up some machines, but absolutely sucks for maintaining them.
i always call it zee, but only for zsh. It’s zed for any other purpose
mp3s are objectively inferior on all fronts except file size
just because it knows where you are, doesn’t mean it has measurement equipment there.
this will not help op in any way with what they need. Which is to recover data already lost.
So in other words, thank you, Captain Hindsight!
no but you could have 2 jobs and still work less.
mp3 to cdda sounds exactly like the mp3. It’s a wav file. Pretty much the unmodified output of the mp3 decoder.
