Developer Demonstrates Multiple Independent Mouse Cursors in Wayland Linux Display Protocol

Developer blinry.org has demonstrated a proof-of-concept implementation of multiple independent mouse cursors in Wayland, the modern Linux display protocol. The project, shared on blinry.org, allows multiple users to control separate cursors on the same screen simultaneously, enabling collaborative interactions like shared drawing or remote assistance. This is achieved through a custom compositor extension, not yet part of the official Wayland protocol. The demo shows two cursors moving independently, each with its own click and drag capabilities, opening possibilities for pair programming, education, and multi-user gaming on Linux.

Hacker News User Proposes New Input Device to Replace Mouse for Managing Multiple AI Agents Simultaneously

A Hacker News user argues that the traditional mouse, designed for sequential single-cursor tasks, is obsolete for managing multiple AI agents working in parallel. They propose a new tactile device that allows users to physically jump between different virtual workflows, rather than relying on more screen-based tabs and buttons. The post highlights a growing gap between the parallel nature of AI agent work and the serial input devices we still use. No specific product or company is named, but the idea resonates with developers increasingly running multiple agents simultaneously.
