While hyprland is really nice, it is made by a transphobe and a large part of the community is also. Switch to something else there are a lot of good alternatives. Kind of a protest against him.
Pretty sure the lead lemmy dev has said some transphobic things as well. They're a major tankie at least.
Thanks for the heads up, but I'm browsing lemmy on a device that is produced at least in part by slave labor somewhere along the logistics chain. At some point I think you just have to disengage from developer drama.
Is there like a word that stands for, "I can't be perfect so I gave up trying to be better"?
i guess "asshole" fits
i know you probably weren't looking for a swearword, but...well...if it fits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and let's be real...the people you're referring to tend to be ignorant by choice, offensive, and generally unpleasant...
Let's not remind them who made JavaScript, lol.
It's in large part made thanks to slave and child labour, with rare metals more-often-than-not sourced in areas of conflict.
Fair take. Still i try to at least somewhat distance myself from people who want to murder my friends and family... sometimes youre forced to used somethi g you dont want to. Still with linux ricing it is a bit hypocritical to say that you want to use the easiest option as ricing is literally taking the hard path. Just use kde or gnome then. Also, hate the transphobes and not the people who use the software they make, important note.
Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesn't matter
I disagree. Open source thrives on attention. Install count is like their cocaine.
Install count isn't necessarily reported, and all forms of reporting that I know of on linux are opt-in
Shit take.
Disregarding projects or ideas due to unrelated issues is just stupid.
Then don't do it.
Popularity give them followers, followers give them money
Popularity has nothing to do with install count, and nearly every distro does opt-in to show what you're running.
yeah if its a good program you can use it, even if it's made by horrible people
one example is templeos. everyone likes it, even if the guy who made it was an asshole
though hyprland is different since you can donate, but like you said, you can just not donate to them!
also nice name and pfp
TempleOS is a marvel in many ways, but it's not particularly useful to any normal person. I wouldn't even say that Terry Davis was an asshole, because it feels wrong to hold a paranoid schizophrenic responsible for his manic episodes.
I misread this as "made me a transphobe"
the animations man... they really just made me hate those people
Rounded corners and no border on floating windows has inspired many hate crimes
Do you have a source?
https://blog.nicco.love/hyprland-banned-from-freedesktop-why/
Get the fuck out of here centrist
tsk tsk, extremist.
Look at their comments. Its always do you have a source, can you explain, etc, never adding to the discussion. Classical centrist arguments and im gonna die on this hill.
How is knowing a context a centrist argument? People want to understand.
Having to support your argument with facts and reasoning is a well known leftist plot to undermine my feeling-based reality.
if I don't pay the dev, and dont interact with the community, whats wrong with hyprland?
Kant was racist so lets all ignore his works too?
Based, fuck the categorical imperative lmao
Categorical imperative works for me, usually - as it does for everyone.
Heidegger was a literal Nazi but we still still use his work because Being and Time is so important.
