There will be tools to interact with Wayland

I don’t really like the hypothetical sound of this.

xdotool is essential for keeping some of my basic hardware usable.

(Yeah … more and more, I think I’m going to be a very late adopter of Wayland. I was planning on Debian Stable for my next install anyway…)

Wayland has basically come (as part of the plan) to replace X11

As part of whose plan?

the progression of X11

Unless they reach feature parity, it’s a fork, not a progression.

We had a long transitioning period and some things didn’t work for a while or were missing. I’d say it’s ready by now.

Do things like xdotool and xinput still work?

55 year old you: “Damn … I wish I’d taken the time to do more stupid shit before being stupid started to hurt so much…”

Does he not have enough insider info on government activities to win rigged bets? He needs this shit too?

Well, in general, yes.

But these multiple different Trump-coins … they’re just fraud and grift. They serve as psuedo-legal ways for rich people to buy political influence, and they serve as ways to extract more money from their idiot followers.

Other forms of crypto – forms that are actually trying to grow and be traded – are indeed ponzi schemes and gambling. But Trumpcoins don’t even rise to that level.

Finally a use for this:

Given his selfishness, if he did name an heir, it would either be one of his kids (so he can continue to see his name on things) or it would be someone he thought he could exert complete control over and basically stay in power with them as a puppet.

(And for the latter purpose, someone obscure, currently barely known would be ideal, someone who owes everything to Trump and has no independent base of their own. But also needs to be somebody with deep financial ties to the Trump family and a lot of debts to be paid off. Oh, and preferably also involved in the whole Epstein situation, to help control them through blackmail.)

I dunno … that 5th panel…

I’ve now managed to pirate all the Switch 1 Pokemon games through an emulator.

Sooner or later, somebody’s going to emulate the Switch 2. I can wait.

Reading and studying anything without the help of AI can help unrot your brain.

You could read a fucking cookbook or a dictionary, and even that would be better for you than AI.

How many batteries could you swallow before you died from it?

My minivan can carry items up to 17ft long on the inside, if you arrange it properly, going all the way from the back gate to the windshield.

Not a Cybertruck you didn’t.

By the time those went on sale, his crazy was very much showing for all to see.

You can use that excuse in other Teslas, but not for a Cybertruck.

Silverado EV has a midgate passthrough, but no folding front seat or dash.

With a big enough load, the driver’s entire left-side visibility could be blocked.

I am expecting MAGA to put out their own candidate that will somehow be worse than Trump.

If Trump doesn’t explicitly name an heir, it will be half a dozen different figures vying to replace him, all of them tearing at each other’s throats as they do. It might be enough to tear their support base to pieces as well, with loyalists of one faction unwilling to ever support the head of a different faction, even after the outcome becomes clear.

‘Bestselling book’ is a title that can easily be bought. All you have to do is have a shell company (or a friendly billionaire) buy 10,000 copies of your own book, and now it’s a ‘bestseller’.

I don’t know about the Oscar nomination, but I suspect it’s a similar deal. Put enough money in the right pockets, and I bet you can buy an Oscar nomination.
