Wir haben Euch in unserem Newsletter und hier im #Fediverse gefragt, wo man überall das #Deutschlandticket ohne App-Zwang / Digitalzwang bekommen kann. Daraus ist eine Tabelle mit ca. 180 Einträgen geworden (die sich auch mobil betrachten lässt.) Weitersagen! ReTrööten, bitte!

@piko and I now have a landline phone!! ☎️ Glad to see that this one still works, I often called friends with it during my childhood, and later, as a student, ordered a lot of pizzas!
Thanks to @sky and @hiker to bringing to our attention that these work on Fritzbox routers! No dial-out yet, though! 🙁
We might give out the number via DM and establish office hours! 😆
Looks like SDL (the multimedia library) very recently merged support for multi-seat input! https://www.phoronix.com/news/SDL-Merges-Wayland-Multi-Seat
So… many-mouse games should be possible on Wayland? :3
This was a fun afternoon! Thanks for following along.
Let me know which other programs I should try with multiple mice! :D
You could try this script (requires zenity & possibly more tools? Please read before running!) https://github.com/n3rdopolis/rebeccablackos/blob/master/rebeccablackos_files/usr/bin/configureseats
(Doesn't work on #NixOS, where /etc/udev is read-only. 💀)
I'd love to have a little command line helper tool to help set this up, for an arbitrary number of mice! :D
1. Use `sudo libinput list-devices` to find the device file (like "/dev/input/event12")
2. Use `udevadm info -a /dev/input/event12` to find the parent device with a catchy ATTRS{name}.
3. Create a file /run/udev/rules.d/00-multiseat.rules like this:
ATTRS{name}="Name of your mouse" ENV{WL_SEAT}="second"
4. Run `sudo udevadm trigger` to apply the new rules.
You can check again with `sudo libinput list-devices`. The device's "Seat" should now say "seat0, second"!
Okay, here's how to set this up!
You need to create a udev rule for the "second" input device that sets ENV{WL_SEAT} to a string other than "default", and then start Weston from a virtual console. (At least, starting it from another Wayland session didn't work for me.) That's it!
The WL_SEAT property is what Wayland refers to as a "logical seat". Assign the same seat name to a mouse and a keyboard to make them work together! The default seat is "default".
Detailed steps:
Very useful when your very long line of code doesn't fit on your screen, for example! :P
(Shout-out to @xssfox, who first did this on X.org! https://sprocketfox.io/xssfox/2021/12/02/xrandr/)
Tried it again, and the independent clipboards still seem a bit glitchy after all… :(
An issue asking for proper support in GTK was closed five years ago, for example… https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/1574
