Not sure what the paraphrase is achieving there. I guess thats between you what passes for your braincell.

"I'm pretty sure that's not true"

Ok , no one with a clue expects.

"Are you done now making yourself look like an idiot?"

Sorry, I think you've been looking in the mirror by mistake. Go lie down and have a rest. Maybe the cluetrain will pull into town for you soon.

... you know things are going badly.

The company has never had a good reputation wrt quality control or longevity of its vehicles. Seems like little has changed when they stick a chrysler or jeep badge on some bodge up they designed in Turin.

So what? I don't think anyone would expect perfect alpha blending on shading at 60fps over a network link. But something is better than nothing. Currently wayland is only offering the latter.

I'm sorry but you can't just come up with a new display driver and say arrogant BS like "oh, that network transparency stuff, no one uses it anymore, who cares" just because its either too difficult for them to implement or they're just not interested in doing it. Well some of us DO use it and we DO care.
