On X11, you can ask where the mouse pointer is with XQueryPointer. Lovely!

On Wayland, you can't. Anyone you ask tells you that you are wrong for even wanting the information. Besides, it's a security risk.

Meanwhile, life uhhhh finds a way.
The solution is create a full screen window, on every display, then simulating mouse movement causing the Wayland compositor then tell your full-screen window the pixel coordinate of the mouse cursor. Then you close the window. It can happen so fast you won’t even notice it.

I *love* hacks like this. Friggin amazing.
(xdotool for wayland is gonna be full of extremely wild stuff like this)

The most glaring omission in Western media coverage of Taiwan is Taiwan itself. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a Taiwanese person interviewed! Instead, Taiwan is discussed almost as if it’s uninhabited land contested by China and the US.

In reality Taiwan is a nation of 23 million people with their own democratically elected leaders, already daily defending their sovereignty against aggressions like military drills.

When Taiwanese voices are omitted, the whole discussion devolves into a story about China vs. the US.

I hope both traditional and independent media will bring Taiwanese voices to the table before it’s too late. #Taiwan
