2022-03-30 04:31:58 +0200 <Steven_M> abhixec: okay, thanks :-)
2022-03-30 04:32:43 +0200 <abastro[m]> I think they are not a fan of idea to work on it tho
2022-03-30 04:42:51 +0200 <Steven_M> abastro[m]: well, rightly or wrongly wayland's coming weather we like it or not.
2022-03-30 04:43:19 +0200 <abastro[m]> Hm, wdym wayland is coming?
2022-03-30 04:43:58 +0200 <Steven_M> wdym?
2022-03-30 04:44:15 +0200 <abastro[m]> What do you mean by "wayland is coming?"
2022-03-30 04:46:04 +0200 <Steven_M> Sooner or later xorg won't be supported any more.
2022-03-30 04:46:19 +0200 <Steven_M> by distros
2022-03-30 04:58:43 +0200 <abastro[m]> Uh, would it?
2022-03-30 04:58:53 +0200 <abastro[m]> Why is it tho
2022-03-30 05:02:56 +0200 <abastro[m]> I mean, how could such a drastic shift of standard happen

2022-03-30 06:19:33 +0200 <Steven_M> abastro[m]: Sorry, I was AFK
2022-03-30 06:24:22 +0200 <Steven_M> abastro[m]: I just thought that with the rise in popularity of wayland, xorg could soon be superseded.

2022-03-30 07:17:02 +0200 <abastro[m]> I see, I just see it the other way.

2022-03-30 08:28:51 +0200 <Steven_M> abastro[m]: Fair enough, I hope you're right. :)
2022-03-30 08:37:00 +0200 <Solid> Steven_M: wayland will certainly gain momentum, but xorg will _at least_ be maintained until 2030 (this is the EOL of RHEL *some-number* that still ships with full xorg support)
2022-03-30 08:37:11 +0200 <Solid> so you definitely don't need to worry about it going away
2022-03-30 08:37:38 +0200 <tdammers> also: it's open source, so it's not like it'll disappear. it's just that people will eventually stop working on it.
2022-03-30 08:37:49 +0200 <Solid> and while it is gaining momentum, the raw usage is still far behind xorg in any usage statistic that I could find
2022-03-30 08:38:22 +0200 <Solid> so yes, we should think about which direction we would like to go in (as we say on the sponsor page), but thankfully it's not like we need to make that decision tomorrow :)
2022-03-30 08:39:47 +0200 <abastro[m]> Oh, if raw usage is still quite behind, it is not yet time to worry
2022-03-30 08:39:58 +0200 <abastro[m]> Unless, you know, you are investing stock with the info
2022-03-30 08:41:35 +0200 <Steven_M> Solid: tdammers: those are some really good points, thank you. :)

2022-03-30 11:37:14 +0200 <geekosaur> it's not so much that we don't want to work on it, as we're a bunch of X11 experts with 0 knowledge of wayland
2022-03-30 11:37:26 +0200liskin[m](~liskinmat@2001:470:69fc:105::768)
2022-03-30 11:37:40 +0200 <geekosaur> what we know of it is basically gleaned from wlroots-based stuff, and wlroots is apparently unstable
2022-03-30 11:38:20 +0200 <abastro[m]> Wlroots?
2022-03-30 11:38:22 +0200 <geekosaur> so we're not sure that's the way to go. which is one of the reasons we're trying to get enough income to hire someone who knows what they're doing wayland-wise
2022-03-30 11:38:53 +0200 <geekosaur> https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots
2022-03-30 11:39:07 +0200 <geekosaur> used by sway and waymonad, at least
2022-03-30 11:39:12 +0200 <abastro[m]> Ohh
2022-03-30 11:39:23 +0200 <abastro[m]> I see, hmm
2022-03-30 11:39:41 +0200 <abastro[m]> Hiring someone, sounds like xmonad would like to become a company
2022-03-30 11:40:02 +0200 <geekosaur> maybe hiring is the wrong word
2022-03-30 11:40:23 +0200 <geekosaur> but it's certain none of us is up to writing a wayland version of xmonad, so we'd have to pay someone else to do it
2022-03-30 11:41:10 +0200 <abastro[m]> Waymonad company, providing tiling window solutions at cheap cost
2022-03-30 11:46:13 +0200 <Steven_M> geekosaur: Good luck with fund raising. :-)
2022-03-30 11:47:26 +0200 <abastro[m]> Btw how much funding was xmonad able to raise
2022-03-30 11:47:56 +0200 <geekosaur> around $800/month coming in, I think
2022-03-30 11:48:56 +0200Steven_Mhas to go
2022-03-30 11:49:15 +0200 <Steven_M> night all :-)
2022-03-30 11:49:38 +0200 <davve> maybe porting xmonad is too ambitious
2022-03-30 11:49:57 +0200 <davve> afaik xmonad was a haskell port of dwm
2022-03-30 11:50:08 +0200 <geekosaur> yes
2022-03-30 11:50:35 +0200 <geekosaur> and it wouldn't be a port as such: xmonad's innards are too tightly tied to Xlib. that's why we couldn't even move to xcb

2022-03-30 12:09:01 +0200 <abastro[m]> Wow
2022-03-30 12:09:11 +0200 <abastro[m]> How long have you been gathering btw
2022-03-30 12:09:33 +0200 <geekosaur> only a couple months
2022-03-30 12:09:46 +0200 <geekosaur> and it hasn't been $800the whole time
2022-03-30 12:11:45 +0200 <abastro[m]> Oh, so that's an achievement!

2022-03-30 13:33:30 +0200 <abastro[m]> (Inb4 covid tho)
2022-03-30 13:33:54 +0200 <geekosaur> so far zurihac is planning to be physical this year
2022-03-30 13:33:56 +0200 <liskin> the last two summers the covid situation in central europe was fairly good
2022-03-30 13:34:10 +0200 <geekosaur> much of europe is dropping its covid restrictions
2022-03-30 13:34:46 +0200 <geekosaur> (so is much of the US although bus/plane/train mask restrictions are still in place for another month)
2022-03-30 13:34:50 +0200 <liskin> if I had to make a guess I'd say the number of daily cases will be way higher this year than the last two summers
2022-03-30 13:35:32 +0200 <liskin> the first covid summer we had isolated clusters and double-digit cases in cz, so we could live for a few months as if covid is a solved problem, that was fun
2022-03-30 13:39:49 +0200 <abastro[m]> Wow
2022-03-30 13:43:40 +0200 <abastro[m]> Tho I think countries are opening up as covid is heavily spreading
2022-03-30 13:43:50 +0200 <abastro[m]> Perhaps, covid really became a common cold
2022-03-30 13:47:07 +0200 <liskin> pre-vaccine covid was a bitch, but no idea what the current covid is like, and not sure I want to find out :-)
2022-03-30 13:48:29 +0200 <geekosaur> apparently notmuch worse than alight case of the flu
2022-03-30 13:48:46 +0200 <geekosaur> hospitalizations are way down despite infection numbers jumping up
2022-03-30 13:49:20 +0200 <liskin> what I'd be worried about is the long covid (and I've heard of lasting post-flu symptoms too)
2022-03-30 13:50:16 +0200 <liskin> it's a bit weird to me that it's not really being talked about, because many of the people I know (myself included) had quite a lot of trouble afterwards
2022-03-30 13:51:39 +0200 <geekosaur> yeh,one of my sister's kids apparently had long covid
2022-03-30 13:52:05 +0200 <liskin> but then the mental health impact of covid restrictions is very real as well, so perhaps it cancels out …
2022-03-30 13:52:18 +0200 <liskin> anyway I'm looking forward to ZuriHac
2022-03-30 13:52:44 +0200 <liskin> my wife went to an in-person conference last week and I joined her for the weekend and it was awesome
2022-03-30 13:52:48 +0200 <geekosaur> nobody'stalking about it becausemost people don't even believe it exists and researchers are still trying to understand what it is
2022-03-30 13:53:17 +0200 <geekosaur> yeh, I miss in-person confs (haven't been to one since 2005)
2022-03-30 13:53:30 +0200 <geekosaur> but I'm almost certain I can't do zurihac :(
2022-03-30 13:56:16 +0200 <abastro[m]> Long covid?
2022-03-30 13:56:37 +0200 <geekosaur> no, I've never had it
2022-03-30 13:56:52 +0200 <abastro[m]> First time hearing about it. What is it?
2022-03-30 13:57:16 +0200 <geekosaur> I'm (a) close to flat broke (b) pretty disabled at this point
2022-03-30 13:57:32 +0200 <geekosaur> "long covid" is persistent neurological symptoms post-covid
2022-03-30 13:57:40 +0200 <geekosaur> brain fog, etc.
2022-03-30 13:58:35 +0200 <geekosaur> researchers are finding that some people have not just neurological damage post-covid but damage to multiple organs
2022-03-30 13:58:49 +0200 <abastro[m]> Post covid symptoms? Hmm
2022-03-30 13:59:10 +0200 <abastro[m]> I heard of some before, but at least it seems like just as many ppl do not suffer that much
2022-03-30 13:59:10 +0200 <geekosaur> some ofit clears up after a year, unclear as yet because it hasn't been long enough if others recover fully given long enough
2022-03-30 13:59:22 +0200 <abastro[m]> Considering how many ppl contracted with covid nowadays
2022-03-30 13:59:23 +0200 <geekosaur> right, true long covid is rare
2022-03-30 13:59:56 +0200 <geekosaur> but there are enough people with it that there is ongoing research finding actualproblems with "long covid" sufferers
2022-03-30 14:00:51 +0200 <geekosaur> and omicron (and in particular the BA.2 variant currently making the rounds) hasn't been with us long enough to see how often long covid happens or how severe it might be
