Welcome to the team, @emersion 😁

It works 🎉 pretty fucking cool if I do say so myself.

wlroots 0.8.0 released:

https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/releases/tag/0.8.0

We just bore witness to an unsolved problem in computer science being resolved at #XDC

🎉 wl-clipboard 2.0 is out! 🎉

wl-clipboard is a project that lets you interact with your #Wayland clipboard from the command line, similarly to xclip/xsel on X11 and pbcopy/pbpaste on macOS.

2.0 is a big, long-awaited release! The guts of wl-clipboard have been completely rewritten to fix multiple issues and enable new functionality, all while keeping the same user- and scripting-friendly interface, and the same do-what-I-mean type matching logic.
