A little improv on double bass with a live echo effect, turned out better than expected: Still a noob, but I can see some progress and I enjoy playing very much. 😊 (Use headphones, probably sounds like crap otherwise.)

(#io55v5a) 😆 I’ll take a close up next time. 😅

I noticed these two benches: The dark area below them? It’s not a shadow, it’s dirt. O_o

Not gonna lie, hacking on dwl is fun. Not sure if it’s worth it (is Wayland really going to win?), but it’s fun. 😅

(#zpv3nxa) @prologic Who would have seen that coming? 😂

(#vle23sa) @prologic Soooooooo … what wins? Users or the Complexity Budget? 😏

(#fhirmeq) @lyse Nice! 👌

In (old, pre-compositor) X11, windows were rectangles on screen. Every normal X11 client could query all windows and their positions. Tools like slop were easy to implement: You can use it to interactively select one of the windows on the screen, e.g. to make a screenshot of that window. slop just queries the window under the mouse pointer, it can then highlight it and read its position. Done. (slop includes more bloat/eyecandy, but that’s beside the point.) Afaik, that’s not possible on Wayland. slurp exists but there is no standard way (yet?) for it to query the window tree. It’s different for each Wayland compositor. slurp’s README includes an example for Sway; for dwl you need this patch; and selecting individual windows probably does not work at all on labwc (because those guys try to stick only to established protocols/standards – an admirable goal). This is just a small example. I think things like these slow down Wayland progress/adoption a lot. You could get a lot more done on X11 because the rules weren’t so strict. On Wayland, everything has to become an official protocol (that each compositor then has to implement individually) or it’s going to be an incompatible, unofficial, compositor-specific solution. Both approaches have pros and cons. Wayland is much more idealistic than the “wild west” of X11. The price is that it takes a hell of a lot more time and energy to push things forward on Wayland.

(#ucly4oq) @eldersnake Nothing stops you from having two different sessions. 😏

Even if it might sound a bit overdramatic: Having a “mostly working” dwl Wayland setup now is a huge relief. 😅 It’s quite the weight off my shoulders. There are still lots of items on my TODO list, but if X.Org were to die tomorrow, I wouldn’t be completely screwed. Only, like, 30% screwed.
