A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

While he's at it, he'll probably start patent trolling Linux community for X window system.

Wayland: Can I come out now?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Coming out is not a valid use case, and must be implemented by each individual compositor with incompatible protocol extensions.

Does that sentiment include Xwayland, Xlib, and the X protocol? What's the alternative to X, the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol?

Aw man, I was trying to angrily shout racist hate speech into the void, but instead I ended up uninstalling Windows completely...
