I’m beginning to think that xiate’s days might be numbered. I don’t want to worry about GTK shenanigans anymore.

At least my password manager can do auto-typing now. That has been a major deal-breaker for me.
I still won’t be able to reimplement multipass on Wayland, though. 😞 Meh. It’s an important tool in my workflows and I’d hate to give up on it.

ls
all the darn time. 😂 Maybe it’s not even a bad habit. At the shell, you better make sure you’re operating on the correct set of files before issuing rm *
(or grep -r
, for that matter 😅). But I admit that I do it a bit compulsively, yeah.

Wait, that’s how I feel about 40. Don’t tell me I have to wait until 50! 😂

The difference in brightness is much more challenging. I was surprised that I could capture both Jupiter and the Moon in one photo at all. 😲

> To elaborate, I don't want to add new commands or config options or some similar such before we know how security as a whole is going to play out, because we'll have to support them forever and it's unlikely that we'd come up with a solution now that doesn't end up being inconsistent with our later work.
Understandable.
I wasn’t quite aware that things are still “in flux” so much. 🤔

That’s what I would have expected.
(The text in the dialog is a lie, though. I cannot find the corresponding setting to allow/deny making screenshots. 🤷 Whatever.)

But one valid use case of this X11 “feature” is to make screenshots.
To make screenshots work on Wayland, this protocol exists:
https://wayland.app/protocols/wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1
What I would have expected is that, when I run a screenshot tool (e.g.,
grim
), the compositor asks me: “Hey, that program wants to make a screenshot, is that OK?” (That might be a bit annoying, but it’s the only way I can think of to avoid programs silently taking screenshots in the background.)What happens instead is that
grim
just makes a screenshot, just like on X11.I searched the bug trackers of some compositors (labwc, sway, hyperland), but couldn’t find any discussions about this.
Aren’t we almost back to square one now … ? The only advantage is that compositors now *could* ask, because there’s a well-defined protocol. But in practice they don’t. Hm.
cc @mckinley since you seem to have some more experience with Wayland.
