Basically there are a bunch of restrictions baked into Wayland that are there for security reasons. For example, the protocol doesn’t have a way to record keystrokes. Which is reasonable since apps really shouldn’t be able to do that whenever they want. But some apps really need that, and they had no way to. Recent extensions fixed most of these issues but it has been a long road.

the Isreali right

The Israeli right: flatten the whole place, I want to salt the earth so they have nowhere to return to and they’re destroyed forever.

Israeli moderates: the IDF can have a little white phosphorous, as a treat

I’m in the 1%

I feel like everyone misunderstood my stupid joke, that was my point

Europeans trying to be on the right side of history for once in their life:

When have Palestinians invaded Israeli land? Israelis are still creating illegal settlements right now.

But more importantly, this genocide is not a two way street. There are terrorist attacks but that pales in comparison to an all out genocide. When have Palestinians leveled whole neighborhoods or dropped chemical weapons on people? Israelis are determined to kill or at least displace the millions of remaining Palestinians and it’s disingenuous to say that’s the same thing the Palestinians are doing.

Whichever your favorite one is, that’s the most overrated one

Time to move to FreeBSD

Pulseaudio and pipewire are kind of like audio drivers (not exactly but anyway). Let’s say you’re running spotify and discord. They both send their audio to pipewire. You can then use pipewire to control how loud each one is. It also supports more complex use cases like if you’re streaming, you can hook up the spotify output and your microphone mixed together into discord’s input so that the mixed audio will be streamed.

Pipewire is newer and basically replaces another system called jack that did the same thing for pulseaudio.

I peddle that to my coworkers for no other reason than because I don’t know how to deal with Windows garbage when they run into a problem. It’s more for my sanity than anything else.
