Yeah, they are "jakarta EE" now. Or what do you mean?

Spring has some compatibility shims for EE but my understanding is it’s always been its own thing and was originally formed in reaction to EE

Spring is not „jackarta EE“, it’s compatible with some of EE specs (a good thing), but otherwise it’s just a different framework.

Spring is neither Java EE or Jakarta EE. It can integrate with those frameworks, but it's a completely independent system.

> synapse — ...and discover that it's a resource hog.

I thought that, too, but at the very least it probably grows with usage. On my single-user-server, synapse currently needs ~100MB of RAM and does not consume CPU at all. It's not "slim" but I wouldn't call it a resource hog either.

I don't see this, since the complaint is about things that used to work and not things that are still missing.

Things working well with a few channels and a few hundred people are very different than working with thousands of channels and thousands of people.

> If the car sells

But it doesn't[1]. And people agree, the main reason is: the cars (esp. the lower price ranges) are too expensive.

I counter with Pipewire. Supports all of the previous linux audio systems out of the box, and almost right from the start (and is drop-in replacable), has less bugs, less problems than their previous options. Runs stable as hell.

Sometimes I wonder how this even happened, like, it seems impossible.

It was done by someone who deeply understands the subject matter and it took a couple of years of full-time work before seeing wide use. But yeah, it's so good that you can basically put a checkmark on "Linux audio".

well, no? Systemd actually also delivered all of the implementations of those protocols and barely no one cared to fit their previous solution to their standards? Rather, it was the opposite, systemd could also run your usual service shell scripts for a while.

Sure, there are similarities in the sense that you started out with 0 service files at the beginning and no GUI toolkit implemented the Wayland protocol from the start, but the thing itself is pretty different. Systemd wasn't designed by committee (and many people still have gripes about this). Wayland kinda is.

The point is: The libraries are not from the same people that build the standards, meaning: there is no "primary implementation" that everyone agreed on. ("agreed on" already is one of the problems, X11 was mostly just developed and everyone got "the thing" and had to use it, for better or worse. In Wayland, KDE, Gnome, wlroots, etcpp first have to agree on a common protocol to implement... and we see how that is going)

Besides there being a large overlap between the "people that write the standards" and library authors, how is there no primary implementation and why does it matter? It's literally an XML document that can be used to generate C code for the server/client, that can communicate via a binary protocol.

This is just a faulty sentence. If you meant that there is no general consensus on which extensions are "core core" and which are completely optional, that might be a more reasonable criticism.

At least in the past, this was an nvidia issue (not respecting the kernel). But I do understand the user issue here: X works, Wayland does not.

If it helps: the EU ones are still just proposals (likely to ve struck down by courts), the north korean surveillance is already active(?)

And the EU ones will keep being proposals until they are implemented.

They absolutely shouldn't just be proposals. They should be scandals that make anyone involved have zero chance in future elections and unemployable anywhere near the political sector.

Unless news like this are all over mainstream media it's not going to happen. It doesn't make it even to most "tech" media.

The last law that was deemed illegal (the data retention directive) took 8 years to be annulled by the courts. So the avenue of the courts is really not an option.
