@BrodieOnLinux oh god it wouldn't, all the things they criticise wayland for would be an even stronger criticism for straying from the holy X path and daring to call it X, and on top of that there would be pressure to preserve some X bullshit.

New mastodon.social TOS are weird.

"You are prohibited to use, launch, develop, or distribute any automated system, including without limitation, any spider, robot, cheat utility, scraper, offline reader, or any data mining or similar data gathering extraction tools to access the Instance..."

Nice!

But then:

"You are prohibited to use or launch any unauthorized script or other software"

Uhm, this is problematic. Where is this list of "authorized" software to access this instance?

Finally, I tried attaching an additional keyboard and assigned them to a different "seat"!

That worked really well! In Weston, each "seat" has its own keyboard focus, so you can actually work side-by-side with two mice + two keyboards independently!

Also!!! The two seats have their own (independent) clipboards!!!! Whatttt! 🤯

I totally didn't expect this. But multi-seat as a concept seems deeply integrated into libinput + #Wayland! Now it's up to GUI toolkits and compositors to support it!

Side note: I think more window managers should support *this* feature!

digging around in my 2K Marin-era (2008-ish) archives and came across this outstanding error message, props to whatever IT(?) person decided to phrase a simple seat license conflict as "Human Combat Required":

The custodian of the Museum of ZZT, Dr. Dos, just spent over 170 dollars to secure a set of ZZT floppies, potentially containing not-yet-preserved initial releases of its registered worlds! If that's something you care about, please consider pledging support for his writing, streams and programming on the Museum of ZZT Patreon:

The ZZT community means a lot to me, so I will be grateful if you support his efforts at keeping it going.

@maldr0id sadly for probably most of the kind of american friends that would like those jokes, a lot of them are about communism.

We've finally discovered a variant of communism that works! Layered communism.
Layer of communists, layer of soil, layer of communists, layer of soil…

@zzanp as cursed as that is, judging by the first look it's an improvement for Java's interop, at least from what I remember .Net has FFI that's somewhat less insane than Java's.
