It's fascinating that the waybro reaction to wayback is "see, you can switch to Wayland and everything will just work" because that's exactly what they were saying one month ago, and one year ago, and before that. Why would I ever believe this? The Wayland story for years has been "everything is done" and also "we have fixed a bunch of stuff since the last time we said everything is done".

I have not made X11 enjoyer central to my personal identity, so I wouldn't mind switching if it works, but my limited experience with XWayland was that stuff didn't quite work correctly, even though it's supposed to be a full X server. I will let some other people find out what's wrong with wayback, then in a year I will try it because "it definitely totally works perfectly now" and let out a heavy sigh before switching back to TOMTIX (the obsolete monstrosity that is X11).

Internet Things that Frustrate Me, as inspired by being on a train:

- When a website has loaded a page, and it is showing the page, and there are words or pictures right on the screen right that second, and

then Internet connection is lost,

and the website REMOVES THE CONTENT THAT WAS THERE and replaces it with "Could not reach server" (guilty parties today: Discord, Bluesky)

You can now turn your old smarphone into a pocket cyberdeck. Because why not

This is a Google Pixel 3 XL, but I don't see why this can't be modified to fit another mobile. The case is 3D printed and it's running Kali Nethunter
