You know, I've heard RFK Jr admit to some some pretty fucked up shit... but you know what, I'll take honesty over the lie through your teeth sell out to the highest bidder shit any time. Admitting that, "yes it was me who put a bear carcass in Central Park, or that, yes I have done drugs and or had addiction" takes an amount of courage that few in the public spotlight are willing to take, and for that I feel admiration and a desire for others to be as forthcoming.

Wayland doesn’t even do lock screen, jitters on scroll… I don’t get the hype.
If it were new I’d be patient, but I feel like it’s been 10 years now.
If they want to do dynamic pricing, maybe we'll just have to start dynamic shopping.
Many many years ago, I had returned home. Think rural country road, cinder block garage a few yards off a dusty road, separate from the house, with a single industrial lamp burning, 100 watt bulb swarmed by moths and insects. The night is heavy, hot and humid. Crickets and katydids turn nights silence away.
Like I've done many nights, I would walk to the other side of the road to take a leak in the bushes and as I was finishing up... What the hell was that?!? Something was moving toward me.
Now I've been scared, gun pulled on me etc, but whatever it was I was seeing had me frozen, I literally couldn't move, I was affixed and the little character bent down to climb through a hole in rusty cattle fence over grown with brush. Grey, big eyes, hard to make out in the dull glow of the garage light and whatever faint moonlight existed. All I could do was try to think of how I love the Earth, the science of the universe and my reverence for nature and the natural world, and it stared seeming to read my thoughts.
And like that it turned around and went back through the hole in the fence from which it came, diminishing into the darkness of the night. Finally I was released and my muscles began to work. 20 yards later I began to wonder if that was real, like my memory of it was already fading. I never said I saw an alien or anything like that, however I have told this story about the grey thing with little hands.
Not so long ago I witness a raccoon walking and I sometimes wonder, was it just the low light, brain filling in faint details of an out of world visitor??? I certainly would like to know.
I went to a prison that had a high number of pedophiles. They would often make comments like this to try and portray themselves as normal.
Thank you all for the responses. Let me preface this to offer a modicum of credibility. I started my open-source adventure at the turn of the millennium when I found an obscure dutch program called Blender back in the NAN days and volunteered, earning several different positions in the organization as it grew over the next decade and a half. I also was a beta-tester for Artrage (could spot endianess issues when mac switched from motorolla to intel chips), working on other graphics software, commercial and open-source. My primary machine is a Legion Pro laptop with rtx 5800. And am currently employed at a company doing tech support for a linux operating system.
The idea of how do you take these outputs and present them to the user is a fascinating subject I will NEVER get bored of and every advancement excites me. I don't know how Wayland works, all I know is that in Mint there is an option to turn it on when I log in, and every two years or so I try it, and I end up saying, "not ready yet" because well I need to lock my screen when I leave my computer, not to hide anything but out of respect for the data of my users. Scrolling, probably in Firefox, looks like a strobe light, that's an exaggeration but it is anything but smooth or with the momentum X11 provides. I'm old now, in my 50's, I don't want to faff about with settings or extra shit... so that is why I gave the critique I gave. If you wrote a lockscreen then wtf isn't it incorporated into Wayland, I mean I might be 60, 70 years old by then... it just seems like the string theory of graphics display, and if it's that fucking convoluted, why don't you guys just start over?
