Thanks for taking the time to reply, that makes a lot of sense.
I haven’t switched to Wayland yet. It makes sense why xscreensaver wouldn’t work well with an entirely different window server. I was just surprised it was so difficult (for me at least) to use with modern window managers despite being relevant and mature, haha.
There’s a newer article on the website about this person getting booted(?) off Privex because one of their business partners found Privex’s response to this writer objectionable. Here is the other article. From just what this person chose to post, it seems they host loli/shota content (drawings). Uurg.
(I did not do any further research than skim the articles he put on his site).
The research itself is… a nice resource. But… if you thought the image the blog writer chose for his article was a red flag, your instincts were good.
