>>hello_+(OP)
More than 2/3rds of your examples are from over 5 years ago, and one of the links is to a site that replaces its content with an image of a testicle when hotlinked from HN.

Exactly! If you scroll to the bottom of each one, you will see that most are either a) still open, or b) abandoned (too hard or impossible), then closed as stale.

> image of a testicle when hotlinked from HN

Rightly so.

jwz is calling other people manchilds, but as someone who also had such a script on their website and also had HN blocked this way... he is the manchild who needs to grow up.

>>hello_+P
One open issue has a comment at the bottom saying that the issue is fixed and was an issue with Mutter. There's no evidence to think that it was ever a "wayland" issue.

One open issue has had locked comments for 5 years. It's probably fixed but nobody has bothered to close it.

Most of rest were not actually "wayland" issues, either. Yes, someone's hobby project screen recorder might not get updated to work with wayland, but there's dozens of those, feels a bit unfair to ignore that there's alternatives.

>>dralle+Mg
obs, jitsi, & raspbian are not “hobby projects”. do you work for redhat?

>>hello_+(OP)
Wayland is working as designed. The fix is to:

* design and implement a dbus protocol that does screen sharing the way you want it done

* get buy-in from all the major compositors and applications to implement your protocol themselves

I mean, should be a doddle for any serious project.

Nah I think JWZ cool. He's doing the right thing.

One of my favourite tech blogs has been shadow banned on HN for years. Sad I can't share his stuff on here.

>>hello_+9C
Can't speak for obs and raspbian, but jitsi definitely is more of a hobby project than a stable reliable product. I have dealt with it firsthand for years and its a complete mess and unstable with poor quality and reliability and zero support. It tries to do one thing, and does it horribly. Users HATED it. Ending up costing our company millions in wasted dev time and hosting fees. Probably the biggest project failure ive personally witnessed. This is not something you want to use to offer some service to users. There are better and cheaper products out there.(it costs more to host crappy jitsi than it does to just pay for zoom licences).
