Xwayland Video Bridge created to improve Linux screen sharing

I guess I'll have to try to understand better, but teams pwa in wayland+gnome is already great (https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/issues/107 aside), I suppose it's only relevant for older configurations.

Quoting: MarlockThe way I understand it, it's a sort of proxy for screen sharing. It exposes whatever you want on any graphic server, which can then be acquired by most apps.Quoting: minidouIf you read the details you'll see their app is a convenient GUI for a non-expert user to be able to leverage what already exists (xdg-portals, pipewire, etc) through a system tray minimalist appThe problem is that currently in the likes of Discord, MS Teams, Slack, Zoom and others that you run through Xwayland, you may end up with a black screen and no windows listed — this should solve it.I don't understand which case this will help that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr doesn't handle.
how do you leverage xdg-desktop-portal-wlr at the moment?

As predicted, it's a simple community update. It's no surprise, it's not like anyone has been working on the game for the past 10 years. Of course, still no mention of anti botting and anti cheating update.

No mention of anti cheat and bot. Update padding with community content.
I'm not getting my hopes up.

Quoting: fagnerlnErrrr... Is that secure? The game already has cheating issues, what can go wrong when someone execute an OS on it?And rampant bot issue.

I've been using shotcut for a while because it's so easy to use, but it lack good object tracking or a way to plug opencv. What's the object tracking status in Kdenlive ?
Valve dev understandably not happy about glibc breaking Easy Anti-Cheat on Linux

But irrelevant when compared to the importance of not breaking user space.Nothing got broken. A two decade of depcrecation function got removed, but nothing broken. Or do we just expect everything to be forever maintained ?
Quoting: TheSHEEEPAlso, so what if they did that 20 years ago?I don't expect anyone to check, I expect a CI or a quality gate to stop them from shipping.
Somehow, EAC and a bunch of others still ended up using that function. Probably looked something up online, copied the function, it worked and that's it. Or had auto-complete suggest something, or whatever.
You can't expect programmers to double-check every single function they use for possible deprecation, that's absurd.
Quoting: TheSHEEEPDeprecation warnings in compilations get overlooked.I'll call it bad practice, or just not being up to 2022 standards.
That's not good, you can call it bad practice or whatever makes you feel good about yourself, but in practice, it happens. A lot. And that's the reality that has to be dealt with, not some kind utopia in which programmers have eradicated bad practice...
