An update on the input stack

And it's sort of a reasonable decision on part of OSS orgs that they want someone that is really "passionate" about open source (meaning if the funding runs out they can still reach the developer and get a few goodwill/bonus hours for free per week, maybe to review the work of the new guy, or whatever).

That said, it's really hard to contribute to the classic Linux desktop software stack. It's absolutely arcane and byzantine at the same time. It's old, yet some strange pathways work very reliably, but any small change can perturb the music of the spheres, and new pathways have to be divined and sacrifices have to be made. (So, I'm currently trying to figure out Xfce4's screensaver. It's set to disabled yet it very dutifully activates after 5 minutes of inactivity. But there's also the bug that the password dialog is invisibe, but only after lid-close without sleep. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
