<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I took a break from following all the Linux news for awhile. I just read that NVIDIA is beginning to offer support for Wayland on their new proprietary drivers. This is huge news. I'm sure this will take a full year before all the bugs are worked out but I'm wondering if anyone is running Wayland on Gnome and what the experience is like.</p> <p>​</p> <p>Just did a quick test of all my applications. Everything ran well except for Discord which just shows a black screen.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/rojosooner"> /u/rojosooner </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rgfs0w/who_is_running_wayland_with_nvidia_drivers_in/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rgfs0w/who_is_running_wayland_with_nvidia_drivers_in/">[comments]</a></span>

<p class="text">I was reading an essay the other day in which I encountered a reference to a book by William Mellor and Dick M. Carpenter II called <em><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/3crA8Zp" class="">Bottleneckers</a></strong></em>.</p><a href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F31cd803b-b81f-4eb8-a3f7-e0bc62e27f63_7768x5179.jpeg" target="_blank" class="text"></a> <a href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F31cd803b-b81f-4eb8-a3f7-e0bc62e27f63_7768x5179.jpeg" target="_blank" class="text"></a><p class="text">Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@dylu?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText" class="">Jacek Dylag</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/traffic-jam?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText" class="">Unsplash</a></p>

<p class="text">In said book a bottlenecker is defined as</p>
|
||||
<blockquote class="text">
|
||||
<p class="text">a person who advocates for the creation or perpetuation of government regulation, particularly an occupational license, to restrict entry his or her occupation, thereby accruing an economic advantage without providing a benefit to consumers.</p>

</blockquote>
|

<p class="text">Well, then, that got my mind rolling about church authorities who are bottleneckers. That is, they follow the protocols and procedures to a T, and play the part of lawyers executing laws and precedents and canons and protocols, and they fail to listen to the (mostly) women with allegations, and the discount stories of the abused, physically and spiritually, because their stories don’t fit their decisions as to what fits – so they follow laws mostly designed to protect those in authority. The wounded resisters experience these church authorities as bottleneckers because they are.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">That is, they think they know what needs to be known for the church while there are lay folks in the trenches with suggestions and ideas that are not only worthy of consideration but are worthy of implementing to carry on the ministry to those in the church and in the community. These too are bottleneckers slowing down the traffic. So slow that some people take the first exit.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">That is, they label Du Mez, Tisby, and Barr “deconstructors,” which they are not, in order to smear them instead of offering context-sensitive readings of their own studies or their conclusions. And while smearing them Leeman fails to recognize that the rise of so-called “biblical complementarians” ...</p><p class="more"><a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/scot-mcknight/2021/november/beware-bottleneckers.html">Continue reading</a>...</p>

<p class="text">My family and friends keep asking me what I want for Christmas. My honest answer is that I don't want anything for Christmas. They keep poking at me, saying surely there is something I want, but no, I tell them, there is nothing I want or need for Christmas.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">Here's a hard truth of life and I'm probably going to be the only one who will tell you. You spend the first half of your life accumulating stuff and you spend the second half of your life taking all that stuff to Goodwill.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">I'm 65 years old and frankly, I don't need any more trips to Goodwill.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">Right now, I'm learning to read e-books. I hate e-books. You can't argue with the author. You can't write notes in the margins or scratch out entire paragraphs that don't make sense. I don't read a book. I devour it and I don't leave much left when I'm through. You can't do that with an e-book. Sure, you can make notes, but you can't tell from the highlights on the e-text how intensely you agreed or disagreed with the author.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">But here's what I'm dealing with. I'm 65 and while I haven't thought about retiring, everyone keeps asking when I'm going to retire. My wife has put it more succinctly: “Where are you going to put all of your books when you retire? You don't think you're going to bring all of those books into this house, do you?”</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">I'd love to get books for Christmas, but where would I put them?</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">And I have enough ties. I have fat ties, skinny ties, striped ties, and paisley ties. I have ties for every occasion. Since the pandemic, we're not wearing ties anymore. So, now I have enough ties to last me a lifetime.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">I don't need anything.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">So, let me tell you what I want.</p>
