When self-driving cars finally become a reality (working reliably on any condition without constant supervision), I suspect many people would skip buying house and buy these cars instead because it'll be so much cheaper. After work, you hop into your car and take a nap, then wake up in a diner's parking lot. Go back to the car again after eating to sleep, and wake up in the morning already in your office's parking lot. Basically homeless but never need to worry about cop because the car constantly moves while you're sleeping, making circuit around the city until it finally take you back to your office's parking lot.

Google Reader was the best. Not sure why Google killed it, but it was really good at both content discovery and keeping up with sites you're interested in. I tried several alternatives but nothing came close, so I gave up and hung out more on forums / link aggregators like slashdot, hacker news, reddit and now lemmy for content discovery. I'm also interested to hear what others use.

You can always install an EV conversion kit to old cars.

Mullvad is going to sell subscriptions to both sides, right? Assuming Sweden is going to be neutral again during WW3.

Or perhaps not because Sweden just joined NATO last month.

How long would it take for an average guy to learn Chinese without actually living in China or near a Chinese diaspora?

tmux is your friend.

The most obvious, user-visible loss of features are applications no longer able to grab/mess with contents of another application's window. Screen sharing and remote desktop was broken for a long time in wayland until it's fixed via pipewire recently. Under X11, rendering is free-for-all, where any app is free to do whatever it wants to other app's window. Heck, you can even tell mpv to play video on a cell in librecalc if you feel like it. Such shenanigans is now impossible in wayland because it's a big security risk (though I'm not sure if it's actually exploited in the wild).

The most hyped feature of wayland is better support for high resolution "retina" display. Also, you can use multiple monitors with different dpi/scaling in wayland. IIRC it's not possible on X11, though you can use xrandr to force the scaling on each monitor, though it'll result in blurry texts because the scaling is not done natively.

Google, who was famous for employing Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) is now firing their python team. I wonder why they didn't reassign them to the ML/AI division.

Guido van Rossum is working at Microsoft now.

Whelp, I actually love the 3d feature 3ds, just wished the screen had higher resolution.

Using high temperature incinerators, yes. IIRC you'll need at least 1000°C to reduce toxic fumes production when burning plastics.

It's an entirely different design than X11. It gains features not possible to implement on X11, while losing many features exists in X11. People that like those new features love Wayland, while people that use those missing features hate it.

I missed HTC Evo 3D. Too bad phones with 3d screens didn't catch on.
