It's hard to see the steelman case for this. The transcript of their objections at the initial hearing are on page 13 of the transcript [1]
> The FTC's highly prescriptive proposal requiring numerous disclosures, multiple consents and specific cancellation mechanisms is a particularly poor fit for our industry. Our members offer services in a variety of custom bundles. They're provided over a wide range of devices and platforms. Consumers, for example, frequently subscribe to a triple play bundle that includes cable, broadband and voice services. They may face difficulty and unintended consequences if they want to cancel only one service in the package.
> The proposed simple click-to-cancel mechanism may not be so simple when such practices are involved. A consumer may easily misunderstand the consequences of canceling and it may be imperative that they learn about better options. For example, canceling part of a discounted bundle may increase the price for remaining services. When canceling phone service, a consumer needs to understand they will lose 9-1-1 or lifeline services as well. Especially important, low-income consumers could be deprived of lower-cost plans and special government programs that would allow their families to keep broadband service.
I mean, except for the 9-1-1 point, I guess I feel like all of those policies -- the bundling in particular -- should ALSO be disallowed.

Not so sure about the 9-1-1 point.
>"All wireless phones, even those that are not subscribed to or supported by a specific carrier, can call 911. However, calls to 911 on phones without active service do not deliver the caller’s location to the 911 call center, and the call center cannot call these phones back to find out the caller’s location or the nature of the emergency. If disconnected, the 911 center has no way to call back the caller."

Seems they're deliberately distorting their responsibilities.

The closest I’ve found in terms of description is https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse, but the lack of encryption on the connection has discouraged me from using it.
I’m also a paid Synergy user, and it’s frankly comedic how long Wayland support has been on their road map. I’m not convinced it’s ever coming, which means I’m probably only 1-2 distro updates from being forced to use something else
I'm in the same boat.

Do any Synergy forks like Barrier do it?
Barrier was abandoned and no contributions are made IIRC.

Total aside.
Has anyone found an alternative to Synergy? Its the last thing that's anchoring me to X11.
The Synergy team has been saying for years they'll support Wayland but no release has been made, I'm a paid customer.
The sonic boom made Concorde's economics harder, but they'd have been hard anyway. It confined it to largely only being useful for that transatlantic route, and that was borderline economically viable for airlines. However, as there was really only one route where it was useful, there were not many Concordes flying and the fixed costs were considerable. Eventually Airbus pulled the plug, and ended maintenance, and that was the end of that. It was probably spurred on by a high-profile disaster, but even without that, the writing was on the wall; if you were an airline Concorde looked economically viable, but without subsidy by the state or by Airbus or both, it never had been.
In a world where there had been many viable Concorde routes, this could all have worked out a lot differently, Concorde B might have happened (which would have allowed a Pacific crossing), and maybe we'd still see supersonic airliners.
Genuinely trying to understand.
Didn't the SR71 fly between LA and NY at above supersonic speeds? Don't military jets fly at supersonic speeds above land?
What makes this allowable in terms of sonic booms? Is it that they're much smaller and the their booms don't cause as much of a "wake" on the ground?

There's also https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise which is open source. AutoFocus seems like a proprietary clone in beta that will eventually become paid.
Oh awesome, thank you for suggesting this. Will swap out AutoFocus for AutoRaise.
