Warm take: Putting your standards behind a paywall is a complete waste. The whole point of standards is for them to be used by as many people as possible.

builds.sr.ht or how to see if some piece of software works on a random OS, including BSDs and if it doesn't being able to fix it via ssh-in.
Always love that feature.

Developers looking at codebases sometimes be like: I can fix her.

wayland and xscreensaver:
- Sadly very unlikely to easily happen due to human issues
- It's been gross misconceptions on wayland for about 3 years
- If XScreensaver wasn't developed behind closed doors I'm pretty sure it would have been done 8~5 years ago as some embedded devices were shipping with Wayland and without X11
- Last article to me reads like "I obviously haven't done my research nor participated but you should do this, even if your stuff has been getting stable enough to be the default on several distros". This is an awful stance to have, at least it should be close enough to what he wants in most compositors.
- He should be aware of wayland having different implementations and so some of them being better, at least subjectively. Quite like how jwz himself described some X11 implementation differences from the 90's. (While now it's almost just XOrg, to the point where most people heavily conflate the two together)

This article is rather disappointing…

> It is not far-fetched to imagine a future in which sites simply refuse to serve pages to users running free browsers or free operating systems. If WEI isn't stopped now, that future will come sooner than we think.

Which is also pretty much my point of view.

> We urge everyone involved in a decision-making capacity at Google to consider the principles on which the web was founded […]
>And if they don't? Well, they ought to be ashamed.

Simply ashamed? We'll just merely middle-finger at the direction of Google while they're locking down what used to be one of the most open platforms? <sarcasm>That's sure going to be effective</sarcasm>

Maybe Mozilla should be coined as a word to describe utter disappointment.
