An X11 Apologist Tries Wayland
I think it’s only fair to call me an X apologist. I get incredibly frustrated when people talk about dropping support for X11. I fight back against the notion that some day X11 will be dead and unmaintained, a curiosity of a time before. I’ve spoken to people in my circles at-length about the accessibility tools that Wayland simply hasn’t been capable of supporting that X11 has. A lot of times, I’ve ended this conversation with “Maybe 5 years from now it’ll be good”. Well it’s 5 years in since I first said those words, and you know what, I’m actually pleasantly surprised.
I’ve been using sway for most of my testing, since I already had an i3 config handy. Basically all I had to do was copy my config to .cofig/sway/config, change some of the services it was launching to get rid of X11-specific stuff, and add some output configuration. It’s pretty great how painless it was (and the default configs are just fine too, but I’m particular).

PyLint: The good, the bad, and the ugly
Hot take: PyLint is actually good!
"PyLint can save your life" is an exaggeration, but not as much as you might think! PyLint can keep you from really really hard to find and complicated bugs. At worst, it can save you the time of a test run. At best, it can help you avoid complicated production mistakes.
