"-" is the default delimiter in qmail. I administer a system, where both + and - are valid recipient delimiters for historic reasons and we can't really get rid of it.

Believe me, it has caused all kinds of problems, where we have to go deep into the finer differences between aliases and virtual aliases and transport maps in postfix to route mails correctly. Especially since we have a lot of Mailinglists with - as a valid character in them.

So to summarize: the assumption by changeorg is valid, however the execution seems rather flawed.

That's good, however it's again just symbolism. A real signal would be to begin cutting ties with China on a path to end our economical dependency on them.

Do Pipewire and Wireplumber log something useful to the syslog?

Screen sharing is one of those topics that were addressed in the last few years in wayland, I personally shared my screen through BBB on Firefox successfully multiple times. Admittedly, not all features (like sharing of individual windos or browsertabs) were available (don't know, if that's fixe now). Can't speak for Zoom, but I don't see how it should differ in the browser to something like BBB. As for their proprietary application, the interfaces to capture screen content are there; if they don't want to use it and therefore enable wayland users to use their system, that's on them. Same goes for nVidia: it took them way too long to accept that wayland is a thing and start supporting it in their video drivers.

I daily drive wayland and it has improved a lot in the past few years, but I can see where that sentiment of it breaking everything comes from. However, since most of the big DEs, WMs and frameworks (Gnome and GTK, QT and KDE) switched to Wayland by default and many programs support it either through the framework or through it's own effort, the normal user wouldn't even know the difference. (adding to this we got many other quality of life improvements, like PipeWire, and lot of work that went into stability fixes) That said, the main people complaining about wayland today are those, who have very special and customized setups running on X, mainly using features only available there (e.g., creating virtual screen setups) which are not supported (yet or ever) in wayland.
