ugh. searching "how do I do xdotool type stuff with wayland" and one of the first results is "No, such features were explicitly excluded from the Wayland design for security reasons."

everyone who thinks "I know, I'll make computers not automatable, that'll make them more secure!" has fundamentally misunderstood what computers are for

the most secure computer is one that's not turing complete

@foone in my mecha setting, the "brains" used in security intensive applications are single-purpose analogue machines encased in a special radiation scattering ceramic with certain components placed slightly differently each time to avoid stuff like remote microwave beam hacking

@foone military stuff doesn't have computers in it as such, but they do have a lot of computer-adjacent cyber organs that turn electrons into a monochrome projection that describes your velocity in 3D space and things like that
