The most obvious, user-visible loss of features are applications no longer able to grab/mess with contents of another application's window. Screen sharing and remote desktop was broken for a long time in wayland until it's fixed via pipewire recently. Under X11, rendering is free-for-all, where any app is free to do whatever it wants to other app's window. Heck, you can even tell mpv to play video on a cell in librecalc if you feel like it. Such shenanigans is now impossible in wayland because it's a big security risk (though I'm not sure if it's actually exploited in the wild).

The most hyped feature of wayland is better support for high resolution "retina" display. Also, you can use multiple monitors with different dpi/scaling in wayland. IIRC it's not possible on X11, though you can use xrandr to force the scaling on each monitor, though it'll result in blurry texts because the scaling is not done natively.

Google, who was famous for employing Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) is now firing their python team. I wonder why they didn't reassign them to the ML/AI division.

Guido van Rossum is working at Microsoft now.

Whelp, I actually love the 3d feature 3ds, just wished the screen had higher resolution.

Using high temperature incinerators, yes. IIRC you'll need at least 1000°C to reduce toxic fumes production when burning plastics.

It's an entirely different design than X11. It gains features not possible to implement on X11, while losing many features exists in X11. People that like those new features love Wayland, while people that use those missing features hate it.

I missed HTC Evo 3D. Too bad phones with 3d screens didn't catch on.

When it was released, the screen was huge, at least to me. Crazy how 6.7" has become the norm now.

I thought they were using natural materials like ground coffee. Did some of them actually use plastic beads?

I wonder which one came first, clothing or hairless skin?

FBI would arrest jellyfin devs so fast before they can hit the release button.

It's mostly used for gaming, but it's more like a souped up vnc with hardware acceleration support and low latency. I mostly use it to access my desktop remotely instead of for gaming. You can tune it between low latency or high quality depending on your use case.

We all got into this mess because some scientists from a long time ago figured out how to put lightning into a slab of rock to trick it into thinking.
