For Linux desktop devs, the Wayland protocol drama is real. This meme brilliantly pokes fun at the xdg-decoration protocol, where client-side decorations (CSD) are forced upon us whether we like it or not.

The "APP" and "DE" (Desktop Environment) are happily consenting to client-side decorations, while poor Wayland ("W") is screaming "I DON'T!" โ€” yet nobody bothers to ask the actual window manager what it wants.

Server-side decoration fans are in the corner quietly sobbing into their tiling window manager configs. The struggle is real.
