@thunderbird If anyone’s interested, I have a Nikon FM2 I haven’t been using since I dropped my photography degree. It’s from the last series they made out of metal before switching to plastic.
Any takers?

Draft: staging: Add xdg-placement protocol for window positioning in "workspaces" (second version) (!264) · Merge requests · wayland / wayland-protocols · GitLab
Hello everyone! This is a new attempt to resolve the issues clients designed for stacking window managers are facing when they want to set their own...GitLab
to be fair, what are compositors like stardust supposed to do when there just isn't a global coordinates system?
i mean, i get scrolling compositors aren't popular and i can't find any active ones but stardust at least is active and has a genuine use-case for non-objective coordinate systems given wayland doesn't know what a z axis is
I really don't want to see a global coordinate system, unless all compositors allow turning self-positioning windows off.
With Wayland, apps are finally appearing on the correct (active) monitor, whereas with X lots of apps and all the windows they create just open on the leftmost monitor (coordinates 0,0), even though my primary and active monitor is to the right of it.
Thanks to e. g. KWin rules, users (but not apps) can still place individual windows on specific screens.

Designing Mastodon’s reply safety features
Lickability has been Mastodon’s design partner since 2021, when we helped design their first-party iOS app (and more recently, their Android app). In 1.0 for each of those apps, there have been the expected safety features — mute, block, and report.Sam Gold (Lickability)

I really appreciate @msifry's new interview on the "A Land for All" proposal for Israel/Palestine: theconnector.substack.com/p/to…
It may not be the perfect solution, but the world needs to be insisting that there is no peace without durable justice—and that includes thinking outside the 19th century nation state.
Toward Two States, One Homeland?
Binary thinking has trapped us in a paradigm of Israeli-Palestinian separation rather than cooperation says A Land For All, a joint effort at rethinking the "two-state solution."Micah L. Sifry (The Connector)
