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"?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

I misread this as "made me a transphobe"

[โ€ฆ] [Hyprland] is made by a transphobe and a large part of the community is also [โ€ฆ]

Do you have a source?

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip -2 points 5 months ago

Get the fuck out of here centrist

[-] bastion@feddit.nl 1 points 5 months ago

tsk tsk, extremist.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip -2 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] threshold_dweller@lemmy.today 1 points 5 months ago

Huh. Look at that, another toxic user to block.

Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesn't matter

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago

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

[-] anyhow2503@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

I disagree. Open source thrives on attention. Install count is like their cocaine.

[-] 0x0@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago

Shit take.

Disregarding projects or ideas due to unrelated issues is just stupid.

Kant was racist so lets all ignore his works too?

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
