Slum Tourism.

I made peace with this forced transition. I went from using one of the available standards (X11) to retrocomputing (X11).

I tried Wayland and what a mess… But I get it. Everything changes, and tech moves on.

As for me and my needs, as long as X11 does its job, I’ll keep on using it.

I’ve followed some of the discussions around the need to have a more modern framework for current graphical systems. I’m pretty confident devs have their hearts and minds in the right place. It’s just that Wayland doesn’t work for me.

By now, predicting the end of reddit is akin to putting a date to the end of the world.

And who cares? This is not a competition, these are not teams, and there’s more internet than some famous url.
