Glad to see that this Wayland protocol exists:

At least my password manager can do auto-typing now. That has been a major deal-breaker for me.

I still won’t be able to reimplement multipass on Wayland, though. 😞 Meh. It’s an important tool in my workflows and I’d hate to give up on it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I feel like I asked before, but forgot the anweser. What are you using multipass for? Machine admistration?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sysadmin stuff, yeah. I admit that it’s not strictly necessary to have this feature. I could do it all through config management. But sometimes it’s just easier and faster to do things interactively, like searching in logs or temporarily editing DNS zone files. And for that, multipass is great. Also, I sometimes build test setups on local VMs (I like to use QEMU like crazy 😅) and I don’t bother adding those to config management.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see, ta.
