There should probably be a user space layer that abstracts over direct kernel graphics APIs. There’s no reason GPM vs EGLStreams shouldn’t be an implementation detail.

Another note, a window manager author shouldn’t have to deal with these sorts of issues. Puts into question the “wayland way.” I guess this is what wlc and wlroots are for but seems like those approaches have flaws given there was a need for wlroots to even exist in the first place.

Don’t kid yourself, you’ll eventually grow to hate Wayland as well.

It seems like your view of “valuing your own work” is narrower than mine. I never said disregard criticism, I said approval is not necessary to find value.

Where did I say bad crypto is fine in production?

If you think so then you’ve misinterpreted my comment.

I think the point is that you don’t need approval from anyone to find value in your own work. Who cares if crypto “experts” condone the use of your library? All that matters is that it provides you value in your endeavors. “Showing them” is not necessary for that.

It does because the frame is not inertial. There is a fictitious force “pushing you upward” because the elevator is accelerating downward. The fictitious force pushing you upward perfectly cancels the gravity pulling you downward and you feel no net force inside the frame.

How does this compare to firejail?

This wasn't snark. It's pointing out a real problem with the premise of this article. It's creating a narrative of adjunct professor exploitation based on anecdotal cases. For all we know, these anecdotes are outliers and their situation isn't due to their profession or its pay.

I could have said all that or I could have been concise. Is being concise snark?

This is implemented in terms of calloc()/free(). Is this a joke? Or some kind of post-modern art? Genuinely curious, the use cases aren't clear.
