I've discovered this once on my own, I had a complex control remapper and that I had been evolving into a horrific bash hydra of hacks over many years. I briefly tried to get it working when I switched to Wayland. I don't remember which component broke me, but it went something like this:
"Hey, I wonder why doesn't this thing work in Wayland. I wonder if I can whip up a pale imitation."10 minutes of stack overflow searches later..."Oh... oh no."
My old ring is in a box ready to go to electronics resell/recycling. Maybe it needs a meeting with my friend Sledge before it goes out, so it can't hurt anyone again.

It being dumb was a selling point. I've wanted to dump it for ages but my wife used it (mainly for timers and unit conversions) somewhat frequently. But as someone who spends most of her day dealing with problems caused by LLM slop, she refuses to ever use them herself.
I also promised I'd do my best to get Home Assistant Voice set up so it can do math and unit conversions (sans Truthiness engine).
So far on my work computer I've had a policy to indiscriminately uninstall anything that says copilot. If I hadn't seen this post I may have nuked it, then spent the afternoon trying to figure out where excel went.
A settlement is an admission no matter what Google says. Headline should read, "Google Admits To Using Its Consumer Hardware To Spy On Users."
