leonceundlena@nblr Anyone who wants the code can come by with a tape.
hanserAh, back then they switched from W (Wayland) to X and are slowly realizing their mistake and are migrating back to W now?
hackbyte Antifa (friendica) 13HB1@hanser Not even remotely funny.
Xenotar@nblr Great Day!
Frank Abelbeck@frank Correct.
@nblr Cool.
On the other hand, nowadays I've to explicitly look under the hood in order to know which window system is running. For at least the last ten years I just emerged the WM/DE of choice and it pulled a window system (most likely X.org, perhaps Wayland on my new gaming rig). Without conf editing.
So, to me, X came a long way and matured fast in the last 20 years. Happy birthday!
23n27@nblr I still think the "window manager as a separate component" idea was very inspired and I hate seeing it being abandoned in the Wayland era.

We've come a long, long way!
Emmanuele Bassi@nblr "There is no documentation yet; anyone crazy enough to volunteer? I may get around to it eventually."

@[email protected] @nblr even though I don't think Wayland is ready for my use, Wayland has so many modern features that X11 simply cannot do.
@[email protected] @nblr do try to mix monitor refresh rates and tell me how that goes.
echopapa
Jarno@nblr so... Wayland is the return of the W?
Bill Seitz@nblr they shoulda bought/kept the x.com domain
yetzt@billseitz @nblr they have x.org
Anatoliy@nblr Happy 40 years, X11!
Garrett Wollman@anatoliyl It wasn't protocol version 11 yet by a long shot. The protocol changed very rapidly in the first few years and didn't really stabilize until version 10 in 1986, followed shortly thereafter by version 11 where commercial vendors (mostly DEC IIRC) had contributed enough production-quality code to make it more than just a research prototype, which I think was in late 1988, where it's been frozen ever since -- first by broad adoption and more recently by abandonment.
@wollman I know, but I meant X window system, not only X11
Janus (Mike Curtis)@nblr I was researching distributed window systems at the time, but mine went nowhere and everyone started using X on Unix.
Howard Chu @ Symas
Robert J. Berger
Stéphane Charette 🇨🇦@nblr I had no idea that before X was W.
How far back in the alphabet does it go, or was W where it started?
@charette W was the window system developed for Stanford's V operating system.
wakest likes your bugs ⁂@nblr you want the code? just come by with a tape!

@[email protected] @evawolfangel Addendum, weil mich "besser als P/Y- wenn nicht sogar W-Code" auch wieder übel triggert: W-Code und P(Y)-Code sind keine zwei Signale unterschiedlicher Genauigkeit. Der W-Code ist der vom Empfänger für eine stream cipher generierte keystream und wird mit dem empfangenen den P-Code verrechnet (XOR) um den Y-Code zu erhalten. Dieses Verschlüsselte Signal nennt man P(Y)-Code. Wenn man schon einfach nur wikipedia liest und daraus Versatzstücke zitiert, dann bitte richtig.
@nblr it's been a long road
David Young@nblr CLU! Nice
