I will say it again. The left abandoning the language of morality to the right is *why* we have right-wing religious zealots claiming the moral high ground -- the moralized perspective, even twisted as theirs is, is more attractive to an average human than a logical one, even when the moralized one is demonstrably false, misleading, and dangerous.

We do not support LGTBQA+ rights because it is politically useful, or because it's fair, or because it's just. We do it because it is *morally correct* to do so.

We do not support UBI for logical or practical reasons, even though those are essentially correct, we do it because it is *morally correct* for all people to enjoy a dignified minimum standard of living.

It is also useful, if it matters to you, that framing these practical policies in moral terms frees you to paint your opponents as immoral by definition -- and that, too, appeals to the human psyche.

Yeah. I moved to FreeBSD a while ago everywhere but my main MacBook Pro and my retro systems.

Neat.

See, I have this thing where I have no *particular* love for Xorg specifically, I just have no desire to throw away the entire X protocol. Wayland is a fine go-between for the programs and hardware, but I just don't like combining the window manager with the display server and the hardware all in one, it's anti-Unix.

Help me out: Let's say I wanted to build a desktop that used *only* X11 applications, but still used Wayland to actually talk to the hardware -- a full XWayland setup. I know how to do that, but what I don't know is which compositor is most suited to that use case -- the XWayland server running in a rootful mode, filling the whole screen, with no other Wayland clients running.

So which compositor fits that model best?
