  • Point taken. I always assumed they were meant to be only a joke. In this case it seems Mr Jank is the joke and I’ve learnt some more intricate nuances of the meme culture.

    meme noun ˈmēm

    1 : an amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online especially through social media … the band encouraged fans to make memes to advertise the U.S. release of their EP …— William Gruger The grumpy cat meme frowned its way onto the Internet in September 2012 and never turned its dissatisfied head back. Since then, the image of the cranky cat has grown more and more popular in direct proportion to appearing less and less impressed by fame.— Anastasia Thrift

    2 : an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture Memes (discrete units of knowledge, gossip, jokes and so on) are to culture what genes are to life. Just as biological evolution is driven by the survival of the fittest genes in the gene pool, cultural evolution may be driven by the most successful memes.— Richard Dawkins

  • I switched to wayland since arch had manual intervention on the latest update for kwin-x11 I decided it was time to take the plunge.

    So far it’s actually amazing. In two days of gaming I’ve had a great experience and OBS has been awesome. I particularly like the pipewire handling of OBS over the x11 window capture.

    I also went through the wayland and nvidia arch wiki pages before I started up my game and it looks like everything is now implemented by the nvidia drivers. I’m happy nvidia might finally be catching up, though, I won’t hold my breath as it still looks a little like the absolute bare minimum.
