don't know how to explain this but they have the same vibe

So I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to tell if a particular app is running in Wayland or XWayland.

This is the answer I get off Stack Overflow. I'm thinking… No. No, that's too silly. It can't be the best way.

I keep researching. It's the best way.

You run xeyes.

Wayland has security that keeps windows from knowing about mouse events in other windows. XWayland doesn't.

Xeyes will track your cursor whenever you're over an XWayland window, then stop if you pass over anything else.

Messed up that in the summer here, my workplace puts the aircon on to 24°C... That's not cold...

Do you ever say something in a Livestream chat and then realise that it makes you sound like a jerk if you don't also explain the whole complex context?

:blobcry:

A little known fact:

before the crowbar was invented…

crows simply drank at home.

The admin invited me to write an #Introduction message. Here it is.

Hello. I am not a dropbear. I am definitely not sitting in a nearby tree waiting to drop on you as you pass by. You definitely don't need to take any defensive precautions. Don't carry an umbrella; don't wear a bike helmet; don't smear Vegemite behind your ears. You shouldn't even bother to look up. You're perfectly safe.

Deck & Conn, comms room, now with sound. Full video.

To receive transmissions in Deck & Conn you have to retire from the bridge to your cabin, which also serves as a comms room. You have to boot up the dedicated communications machine, open your safe to retrieve the response codes, then enter the correct ones for your machine to decrypt the Priority Action Messages sent to you.

These can vary from mission tasking orders to intel reports.
