Hype for the Future 45F: CWM → The Basics

Ah, the glorious days when the X Window System didn't have X terminals! 😱 Now, you're probably blocked from reading this because your HTTP UserAgent is too "generic"—a fate worse than death! 💀 Remember, kids, if your UserAgent isn't as unique as a snowflake, you'll be banished from the kingdom of #WanderingThoughts forever! ❄️👑

A good explanation of why cursors are bugged in many apps running on Wayland and why that's actually a good thing for the user - things are improving in the right direction with Wayland, DPI wise.
https://blogs.kde.org/2024/10/09/cursor-size-problems-in-wayland-explained/
This also applies to Qt Flatpak apps running on Gnome and other combinations.

@matt The stipple was great when first configuring LCD displays. It would be instantly clear whether you got the resolution correct or not (Moiré & other artifacts or no). I never found another pattern that worked so well for that. When I did IT circa 2010 I had a little 4x4 .png of it I'd carry around on thumb drive to set the background to even on Windows computers to verify the resolution. #XWindowSystem #X11

To celebrate the X Window System's 40th birthday, I did a deep dive on something about it: the iconography of its boot-up stipple (that gray pattern you first see as the X Server starts up):

Did you know the stipple has a name, age, and cultural significance to the ecosystem? I'll share my personal history with it. What's yours?

Hoy quise entrar a Twitter, y me enteré que ahora se llama x.com.
Y por un momento pensé que la Xorg Foundation había comprado la red social 🤣
Elon, un poquito más de creatividad en el logo eh!
(no voy a negar que, por un micro-segundo, me imaginé un X.com de código abierto)

Anyone else thinks that the new & extremely annoying
#twitter
logo looks stupidly like the X Windows System
#xwindowsystem
logo? Now there was a time when the X.Org Foundation
#XOrgFoundation
could be EXTREMELY litigious & I'm sure their lawyers are just hibernating not dead.

CW: bad jokes at elon's expense
The #birdsite aka #twitter is now the #XWindowSystem site, but let's get ahead of the curve, shall we? The next name will probably be this

i hope the #XWindowSystem sues the shit out of #X and #MuskyMusk for brand infringement

Does anyone still have a DEC VS100? It would be interesting to set up a #X11 exhibition at #VCFEast2024 for the 40th anniversary of #XwindowSystem.
@larsbrinkhoff ? :)
