"people"

idk, sounds rude

what if the computer starts talking first, would it be impolite to not respond?

Some routers do support it.

• OpenWrt: enable SQM (cake + piece_of_cake.qos)
• Ubiquiti: enable Smart Queue
• FritzBox: limited but has prioritization
• OPNsense/pfSense: fq_codel / CAKE

would be even betyer cause it shapes the entire network, not just your PC

but apparently you can also install cake on any linux and use it to do what you want:

good readup about cake but not focused on your usecase: https://grapheneos.org/articles/server-traffic-shaping

I have no clue about bazzite, so you are on your own there.

Interesting discussion, the opinions go both ways but the official ones seem to disregard some facts and base the decision on some arbitrary ones that were not listed in OPs linked article, which I find quite biased or at least untransparent.

You could have guessed from the context that it is another privacy focused messenger app

And no mention of threema even though it fulfills all their listed criteria

to me that smells like what I said in the other comment:

Wayland might be a bit stricter when it comes to following specs and not implementing hacky workarounds. (or it could always be a bug)

I feel like, if a cable is high quality and up to spec, it will work with wayland. But if the signal integrity is below spec, wayland might fall back to slower signaling while x11 is more lax and ignores the issue and so a worse cable still works even if unnoticably below spec quality. Or the 4k over hdmi 1.3 is some hack that x11 supports and wayland doesn't because it's out of spec.

But thats just a feeling. May be wrong.

Thanks for reporting back with your findings!

I’d rather be chill and blame some third party.

Can't plausibly blame em if they solve the efficiency issue

Now imagine solving that and becoming 25% more efficient, but still getting the same wage. (historically, the leadership rakes in all the profits without sharing when efficiency increases)

I'd rather be chill and blame some third party. Hail Atlassian.

Get one of those learning kits that come with most of SBC/MCUs (like raspberry pi or ESP32) which have a lot of random stuff (like LEDs, motors etc.) that you can hook up to the pins and write C programs to control them. Learn the different protocols that are used to talk to other devices, like i2c, uart, spi etc. and then buy some hardware that you can talk to via this protocol. Like a sensor, a gps module or an IMU or EEPROM.

It's conceptually pretty similar to how computers and device drivers do it. There is some communication protocol and you can write or read some values over it to use any device. It's just way easier to start small and build up experience from there.
