extended note from 7:55:

One of the core tenets I keep with my channel is to share things I'm learning or working on, even when they're imperfect or incomplete, because I think and hope that's a positive influence on others. 
That mentality is golden with photography and music, but with a program, it's a little different - since people may actually run it, and if there's a massive bug or crash, that's a problem, and it might be a problem that I don't know how to fix. 

And then a more philosophical thing I've been thinking about... 

If a program is posted publicly, that means I, or a journalist, or anyone else with a public platform can cover that program. That's generally fine at small scale, I think. But I'm at the mercy of the Youtube algorithm and that's both a blessing and a curse. Last year, I made a video on some cool programs I came across; it ended up at over 400k views at a time when my other videos were getting 5k.

The developer(s) of a program might be happy to receive a few new users who love their program, but I'd imagine it can be very annoying if suddenly you have thousands of new users all submitting bug reports and asking for new features. I don't want to do the wrong thing, but I'm also not a production team that can take care of checking with developers of any program that I might mention, and cleaning up every other possible loose end before I cover a program.

I just see a program, look at the code, think "oh that's neat" and make a video.
Does that make any sense? I have to think about these things now. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Bread on Penguins

A personal account of migrating a highly customized Linux desktop from X11 to Wayland, using DWL (a minimal tiling compositor based on wlroots) as the window manager. Covers the patching workflow for DWL (vanity gaps, client opacity, floating windows), replacing Dmenu with a pure-shell alternative, switching to the foot terminal emulator, and extensively customizing a fork of Sunbar to display album art via Cairo and live-updating pywal colors. Also discusses eliminating a notification daemon by embedding notifications in the status bar, script migration challenges, screen recording quirks on Wayland, and unresolved Wine/Photoshop compatibility issues.

I moved to Wayland :D

Wayland? It’s like installing a traffic cop in your living room to check your papers every time you want to go from one room to another, in your own house. You feel “safer”? How special. How long you going to be in the bathroom this time? Might as well install Windows. Pretend you’re in better hands.
