A pgtk build of emacs is what I have been using for quite some time without any significant problems
https://github.com/masm11/emacs
Pretty sure there are builds for the browsers you mentioned that run natively on wayland

This was a sway thing more than a Wayland thing and a PR for it was merged back in March https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/2064
Also it's (ironically) an X11 related issue which shows up do to XWayland backwards compatibility, not something new with Wayland.
Chrome also since supports Wayland natively so the workaround in that PR isn't even needed for it anymore. Electron is still a bit behind but it's looking like Electron 12 should have native Wayland support as well, until then the workaround is there.
There are still a few things I'd like to see land (which are closing in) before saying Wayland is a better fit for most users but better DPI scaling certainly isn't one, it was one of the first wins to land to be honest.

How does this work? https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/2484
Is it just basically a backdoor going through the hardware?
Is there some way that a compositor works with Linux security so that you need a special privilege or root or something in order to record the screen?

> Individually, these things are small, but the small impedances these changes introduce does take a toll on people, especially when you're trying to just get stuff done.
One of the problems is a parity disconnect. A developer/PM often has very different perspective from their users: They see the new changes as they're happening and so they're all small, incremental changes, plus they're closely following development.
A lot of users only infrequently update and/or infrequently use certain features, and so for them, all these small incremental features add up to be massive change for the sake of change. This will often manifest as "Every time I go to do x, it's totally different and I have to re-learn everything!".
I find a lot of software -- especially FOSS -- also communicates change poorly. Release notes are the primary way to get across changes, yet there are several bad things people do that make it basically impossible to read:
* List every change or commit message, especially without categorizing or simplifying the wording
* Don't properly highlight feature changes (eg with screenshots and/or reasoning)
* Have dozens of betas/pre-releases, but don't consolidate the release notes into a final "here's what's changed since the last main release" document
Some examples of exceptionally good release notes: Visual Studio Code [1], Jira [2], Gitlab [3] (though if they only provided their changelog [4] it would be a good example of being overly verbose to the point of unusable).

TeamViewer/AnyDesk/VNC is not "remote windowing", it's "remote access" to a whole desktop. And that's easily available https://github.com/any1/wayvnc
But actually "remote windowing/apps" is even better supported, it's a universal proxy: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/waypipe Absolutely does not require any support from the core protocol.

This is super off topic, but I also find working with video UIs frustrating for this reason. For my own needs, I have been working on a video editing tool that has a workflow more similar to web dev. E.g. describe changes in text files and render the final video on the command line. https://github.com/andykais/ffmpeg-templates

jetson-inference
Hello AI World guide to deploying deep-learning inference networks and deep vision primitives with TensorRT and NVIDIA Jetson.
Well, don't get me wrong. I do like my Jetson Nano. For a hobbyist who likes to tinker with machine learning in their spare time it's definitely a product cool and there are quite a few repositories on Github[0, 1] with sample code.
Unfortunately… that's about it. There is little documentation about
- how to build a custom OS image (necessary if you're thinking about using Jetson as part of your own product, i.e. a large-scale deployment). What proprietary drivers and libraries do I need to install? Nvidia basically says, here's a Ubuntu image with the usual GUI, complete driver stack and everything – take it or leave it. Unfortunately, the GUI alone is eating up a lot of the precious CPU and GPU resources, so using that OS image is no option.
- how deployment works on production modules (as opposed to the non-production module in the Developer Kit)
- what production modules are available in the first place ("Please refer to our partners")
- what wifi dongles are compatible (the most recent Jetson Nano comes w/o wifi)
- how to convert your custom models to TensorRT, what you need to pay attention to etc. (The official docs basically say: Have a look at the following nondescript sample code. Good luck.)
- … (I'm sure I'm forgetting many other things that I've struggled with over the past months)
Anyway. It's not that this information isn't out there somewhere in some blog post, some Github repo or some thread on the Nvidia forums[2]. (Though I have yet to find a reliably working wifi dongle…) But it usually takes you days orweeks to find it. From a product which is supposed to be industry-grade I would have expected more.
