No, the reason it's having trouble is because it introduced incompatibilities by design which required a lot of work to incorporate it into a system. A project shouldn't be restricted in "what people want it to do". Because the answer to that question is: "Everything, and the same way as previously."

If we heed that line of thinking we'd not have the internet because IPX/SPX was a networking standard that didn't scale well to connect multiple networks. Someone looked at that, threw it out and created something different, and TCP/IP was initially dismissed as nonsense as well.

Wayland is a fundamental protocol change, along with it a lot of conceptual ideas changed (such as what part of the system should be responsible for something). The previous paradigm was "X does everything and the kitchen sink". That is what people want (because people hate change), and that is precisely the number one thing Wayland explicitly was designed not to do.

Except that's not true in the slightest and many of the people working on Wayland are the very people who developed X and created those things that are there for a variety of good reasons.

You are assuming everything being there is there because it is ideal, that's far from it. In many cases that "good reason" is: "There was no other way to do it given the restrictions of X itself".

There is good reason to sometimes throw out what you have and start anew. Claiming the Wayland people don't know how to design a good window system is to gaslight the very people who built and maintained the system you yourself hold up as a good example.

Thin steel plates which you can deflect with your hand do about as much to stop 1.5tonnes of moving metal as a sheet of paper. Steel may be stronger than glass but it has zero impact on impact rating of a car. None what so ever.

No they didn't, and again European cars lead in impact rating tests and their doors did *not* get higher. Not only do you not know how this works, you're ignoring the actual reality you could observe directly. Ironically here you'd be more correct if you stopped thinking about it rather than applying your "steel is stronger than glass" half-thought.

Doors got higher because of American marketing. Consumers haven't gotten what they asked for in a car in a long time. They get told what's good for them. The A-pillars didn't get thicker either because of consumers OR car companies. They got thicker due to regulators and rating agencies pushing safety.

2025 sure is weird:
- Linux is the most popular OS kernel in the world.
- Windows supports running Linux natively on the OS.
- Linus is the most level headed voice in the room.

Somehow the last one was the least likely to be on my bingo card.

How many alcohol related deaths do we have every year? Everything from drunks plowing into a family in the oncoming lane to people drinking themselves to death. How many fights and acts of violence are started because of alcohol? Think of all the lives we could save without alcohol.

Watching propaganda will do that to your brain.

Supposedly wayland makes it easier to have different displays with different dpi settings but whenever I try pick Wayland to login with on Devuan it just gives me a black screen.

Well if you walk around saluting like one and then support far right German political parties, well people might start talking.

Mental illness is a real problem. Encouraging it doesn't help anyone. Except for televangelists and other crooks. Those guys make a bank off of abusing the mentally ill...

I don't think so. In that case you had an already mentally Disturbed person who just happened to be listening to some heavy metal music.

In the case of that the Ozzy Osbourne album in particular the song and question is literally saying don't drink yourself to death.

basically there was no feedback. The problem with AI is it has a feedback loop where as you engage with it it is trying to keep you to keep engaging.

For suicide they already saw that was a problem and so every AI on the planet will just repeat generic instructions on how to contact suicide hotlines.

And I think the fact that they did that and it did it in such a blunt and simple manner shows that they know that their system does more than just provide an excuse for somebody who is already going to do something.

I don't think I'm expressing myself very well here. Maybe to try to put it in another way if you look at those heavy metal songs they were completely misinterpreted and the point of the songs was being actively lied about but people who didn't bother listening.

In this case there is no misinterpretation if you talk to a lot of these chat bots long enough they are happy to tell you you are God or they are God or whatever the hell it takes to keep you engaging with them and providing them with data and user bases.

It would be like if Ozzy Osbourne saw a kid killing himself and decided to write a song about how great it is to kill yourself and then he wrote 20 or 30 or 100 other songs about the same thing refining them each time to be more encouraging towards suicide.

Making people crazy. These are people who are having some sort of physical neurological issue, and happen to fixate on a specific internet site while symptoms manifest. It could just as easily be the neighbors cat, the local cell phone tower, or any other number of things. When I was a kid people would blame dungeons and dragons. The underlying neurological problem is the cause - focus on that.

Ah yes, this moral panic is totally different than all the other times people have been whipped into a frenzy by an almost bon existent problem.

We have real problems to solve. I'll leave the fake ones to people like you.

Actually it demonstrates MAGA pretty accurately.

If Judas Priest listened to what you said and wrote custom songs about you individually, sure.

Oh I didn't realise your idea of driving was competitive petrol filling. Seems like a strange hobby.
