@aeva the other thing is wayland (and X) did it all wrong architecturally. If you really want to reimagine the display stack make the *app* the server.

By default when launched it'll send some ipc request for the local session client to connect to it.

But you can also port forward to it over ssh or whatever to get first class app remoting, including multiple concurrent seats connected to one app server at once. If the last connection drops the app simply becomes headless until the next time a client reattaches to it.

Good luck getting app devs on board with *that* model though.

@aeva i agree, the only way it'll work is if at *minimum* all of the desktop compositors (forget about weirdo embedded /VR ones nobody writing general purpose apps cares about them) define a standard set of protocols that they all support and that apps can assume are available.

Better yet, standardize on implementation of them in a common library.

@aeva the best wayland is 2035 wayland when they've finally got all the bugs ironed out and implemented all the obviously necessary protocols that some core dev decided didn't fit his ideology but then he retired and everyone else went and did what had to be done all along

@thegaffer @pluralistic The shooting sports community has been working for years to do something similar, replacing the term "accidental discharge" with "negligent discharge" to reflect the fact that barring extremely rare mechanical malfunctions, guns don't just go off on their own.

If it fires without you intending, it's because you were doing something stupid and dangerous like having it loaded when you shouldn't have, leaving your finger on the trigger, etc.

So just like with a significant number of car crashes, it's not an accident it's negligent behavior on the part of the operator. This sort of terminology should become more prevalent in general.

My daughter just yelled "shark attack" and threw a blahaj at me.

Clearly we've trained her well

@ireneista is there any way to offline repair? Like on a debian box you can mount the root fs, chroot it, and apt reinstall something
