Freerdp (which this project and every other similar one depends on) is 100% broken on wayland for this use case. I'm not going back to X11.

It would probably beneficial for you to distinguish an is from an ought.
The OP was descriptive, not prescriptive.

Good job mate.
Can't wait until one day this gets into Moonlight or something like it.

PHP generators/iterators is a hot mess. I don't know any other language which forces iterators to output a key for `foreach(... as $key => ...)`.
"It's a hot mess" - someone who knows absolutely nothing about what they're talking about.
Typical HN comment about php.

Tiling window managers are great and I admit they gave me some inspiration for this project. I just don't find myself needing to have windows be split screen very often, at least not more then two. The one exception to this is terminals which I usually keep in a separate virtual desktop but besides that I would rather have the window I'm using be full screen.
Try Niri or PaperWM. A scrolling window manager.

I'm surprised how many upvotes this got (40 points as of me writing this comment), given how little "meat" is actually in this article. The author presents a graph where views for a given user dropped precipitously after a "feud with musk". That's certainly suspicious, and was worth bringing up, but the rest of the blog is just pontificating about "social engineering" and "perception cascades", backed by absolutely nothing. Are people just upvoting based on title and maybe the first paragraph? This post could have been truncated to the graph and very little would be lost.
They are upvoting because they hate Elon Musk. It's not that deep.

RDP predates OpenSSH by a year.
According to Wikipedia, RDP = June 16, 1998
SSH = 1995.
OpenSSH = 1999

"With a focus on security" was the punchline and i had to smile.
While i encourage the great intention and the work that has been done, it seems an oxymoron to create a secure client to connect to unsecure clients.
I will never forget that blazing speed of the BlazeRDP-implemetation that i used in the past that is now long forgotten. I never saw such an speed-optimized RDPish implementation. I knew i was connecting to unsecure clients and used a propietary fix to a MS-based protocol, but it was insanely fast. I never had such a fast remotedesktop since then regardless of the OS. This is not an ad, i'm not affiliated, it's simply a fact in my life, that i recall.
Any links to share?
I don't care about security for my use case.
This slightly outdated guide helps you set it up pretty easily - instead of Zurg+ Black hole, use Decypharr
https://savvyguides.wiki/sailarrsguide/
Real-debrid == imagine a huge cloud storage service. You have 1000 people trying to download Burgonia.4k.mkv. it downloads the torrent once to the shared server, then gives each user their own access to it via a WebDAV mount.
WebDAV == trick you server into thinking a cloud server is a local folder. You use RClone to mount this and it's accessible from your local drive so you can stream all your stuff directly.
What this means: you add a show in Sonarr or a movie in Radarr. Prowlarr searches Torrentio or Zilean for torrents. The best match is chosen. It sends to Decypharr (or black hole) to say "download this torrent to my real debrid box". It finds the cached version of the file, which is instantly available in your drive. It's symlinked so Plex can pick up the file.
Basically the lead time from requesting a movie/series to watching it on your tv is about 10 seconds, with no storage overhead required.
It's also a lot less prone to failures than debrid services, especially with old content.
