Has anyone implemented "focus follows thought" (or at least "attention")?
I mean, there's a video camera pointed at my face all the time, and surely a (¡local!) eye tracker could deduce which window on my multiple monitors I'm looking at ...?
Maybe the resolution could be high and precise enough to entirely/mostly replace a mouse?
desktop #linux question:
answering the question "is the current #wayland session locked?" turned out to be harder than i thought. neither wayland itself, nor #sway, has an API to determine if a session currently runs a screen locker.
how else can that question be answered? i was considering "check if there is an instance of swaylock
running as a child of the current compositor" or something like that, but that by itself seems to involve lots of things i don't know how to answer
any of you know something to point me in the right direction?

I stumbled across this article while searching for informations about the future of some X11 window managers. probonopd created a good article about the differences between Wayland and X11 and the problems with Wayland (which perhaps could be fixed in the future)
Good to see that XLibre forked the X11 server so projects depending on X11 can go on further.

#GNOME 48 with #Debian13 #Trixie and #Wayland: Has anybody an idea how to enable horizontal window scrolling via Shift + Touchpad-Scroll (up/down)?
With xfce/XOrg, this was out of the box enabled.
Edit: with my desktop/USB trackball/mouse, it's working as expected. Just not with the touchpad. So I'd like to swipe with two fingers up/down while Shift key is pressed to scroll horizontally.

Finally have tiling working with transformations but code still needs some prettying. This quest revealed I wasn't handling OVER-COMPOSITUM objects at all. I bet they need more testing still -- along with the GL blending setup. Small wins, but yay.
Ok, #Sway (und jeder anderer #Wayland Compositor) ist ohne #systemd ein ziemlicher Krampf. Es geht, aber man muss gefühlt ein Dutzend Dienste manuell hinterher (oder vorher) starten, damit es auch läuft, insbesondere, was Multimedia angeht. Mit systemd werden diese Dienste automatisch per user services gestartet.
Daran erkennt man, wie komplex der Linux-Desktop geworden ist. Als ich anfing gab es als Sound-Architektur OSS (später ALSA) im Kernel und dann gab es XFree86 und darauf hat ein Window Manager aufgesetzt und das war es. Heute müssen zig Hintergrunddienste laufen, damit alles geht.
