That's just embarrassing.

The first panel ruined it for me as well, though. It's meant to be political allegory, sure, but the first panel just makes it bad history instead.

I think they meant you don't know what the binary is called because it doesn't match the package name. I usually list the package files to see what it put in /use/bin in such cases.

Someone found a way to weaponise bikeshedding.

Surprisingly, the inspiration for the paper came from a YouTuber who has been attempting to physically recreate the ancient mechanism.

I was just re-watching clickspring's videos about this yesterday.

I believe they're called "logicool" in Japan. So maybe it's some form of logo consolidation.

It's not just about hardware compatibility. It has to be compatible with existing workflows, and it's currently very limiting.

How did you pay with PayPal on AliExpress? They haven't supported it in years?

I remember having this realisation about Mir, but only after we collectively ran it off the cliff wall. The main reason everyone piled on Mir was that it was thought that Canonical would be priming Linux desktop for fragmentation with two competing standards.

But in fact, Mir was providing a solution to the fragmentation Wayland was bringing. Now we have 3, 4, 5 Mir-s, all with slight incompatibilities. Want a feature? Better hope all of them decide to implement the extension after someone proposes it. We know how well that worked in the past.

This is also ironic because the detractors of Xorg constantly talked about the issues with Xorg extensions and how many of them there were. But I never really had to look up which extensions Xorg supported, while I have had to do that with Wayland compositors.
