Yeah, I imagine there's some QT bits for implementing a lot of it, if it detects them being available. Not being massively familiar with QT or how those two apps make use of it, I can't assume they'd be making use of the components that'd implement KDEs custom extensions. So you know shrugs

    I mean many Wayland compositors is kinda like old browsers at the moment. They all implement a common spec and then implement a bunch of their own extensions to get features the spec doesn't allow for. And apps have to be aware of these custom extensions to make use of them. So in the KDE case, I imagine a lot of their apps are aware of KDEs own extensions to Wayland. But it doesn't mean all of them are.

    Does it, if you can work on the normal application code, there's no reason you can't work on the lower levels of applications. It's all just code. Ramp up might take a bit more time, but I wouldn't expect horrendously so. As long as your patterns make sense and what is there is written well enough and is not a spaghetti monster in the making, any one should be able to pick it up.

    Fair enough. I don't tend to use it all that much. But it is there. I tend to find I don't really need to see the graph all that much. Maybe because I'm mostly working in small teams. It's just not that important to my understanding of what's going on.

    Right, but I don't see a 'and you can feed it to a neural network on demand such that it can reproduce code that a user can then have plausible deniability that it was licensed on a certain way and be able to redistribute it under an incompatible license"

    It is. Relatively so. This smells of Mozilla wanting to package things in there that Linux distro maintainers wouldn't package in themselves.

    You may say I'm being overtly cynical and as much as I love Firefox, I can't say I trust Mozilla's intentions
