  • Would you kindly find a source for that?

    I can personally speak from the 80s, so that’s not exactly a golden age of reliable information. There was concern about scale of infinite growth and power requirements in a perpetual 24/7 full-load timeshare by people that were almost certainly not qualified to talk about the subject.

    I was never concerned enough to look into it, but I sure remember the FUD: “They are going to grow to the size of countries!” - “They are going to drink our oceans dry!” … Like I said, unqualified people.

    Another factor is that there aren’t that many supercomputers in the world, a handful of thousand of them.

    They never took off like the concerned feared. We don’t even concern ourselves with their existence.

    Edit: grammar
















  • No, it isn’t. Wayland is a toy for people who play. X11 is a tool for people who work.

    The concept of work is relative. See below.

    Won’t be long now before your your favorite DE’s will only be available on Wayland, and be missing features because of it.

    That doesn’t concern me at all personally—and if I wore your temperament on my sleeve, DEs should get the fuck away from X11 altogether.

    My use case requirements have never involved DEs, and if I ever want to flirt with that kind of casual experience it may as well be with new boobs like Wayland.

    I could huff “get off my lawn” just as hard as any other, but why? Let people choose whatever they want.
