This is one of the things I think I will always find super annoying about Wayland. This is from flameshot, my favourite screencap program for Linux. It has experimental support for gnome/kde wayland.

Will it every support Sway (wlroots)? The fact that each tool now has to support each individual desktop environment (or the windowing kit it's based on) seems like it's entirely the wrong level of abstraction.

i find it strange when people say they like animals but then turn around and say with no self-reflection that they hate 80% of animal species (arthropods/“bugs”).

i should rewrite ed(1). it has the gnu issue of tons of legacy code that bloats it (see attached picture detailing cat(1)), and ed deserves to be lean and mean.

i guess since the crates package system and the cargo build system is worse than npm, web devs would be attracted to it like flies to shit. the complete lack of standardization or documentation would probably attract them too.

That's the third time this week I read an article talking about how Apple invented the smartphone and mobile applications. Who's spreading this nonsense?

Yes, Apple made smartphones popular (I guess?). But let's not rewrite history here: we had smartphones and apps several years before the first iPhone got released.
