Wayland core can barely do anything. The vast majority of Wayland functionality is split between wayland-protocols and xdg-desktop-portal. If you say "Wayland can't do interactive window resizing" because Wayland core doesn

The point with 1. isn't that it's interesting that such APIs could be made, it's that a whole bunch of non-sense discourse has flourished because people don't understand what it means that Wayland can't do screen

Formatters breaking code is not something that happens in all language ecosystems; I think it's mostly a C++ and occasionally JS issue, but for gofmt and many other formatters just don't break code. It's also not really that

You know what, though? I kind of think you don't even need bots for the "majority opinion" to get widely skewed. For example, you can find an absolute ballistic lunatic take on Twitter that has 10,000 retweets basically tri
