I just wish Wayland weren't so weird about screensavers. It's it so much to ask to be able to lock my account when I have a screensaver activated?*
*This is what I'm told is the issue when it's brought up on KDE, i really don't have the wherewithal to actually dig into it. Could be talking out of my ass on this. Hope I am at least.
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.
Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesn't matter
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
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 Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
and let's be real...the people you're referring to tend to be ignorant by choice, offensive, and generally unpleasant...
I misread this as "made me a transphobe"
the animations man... they really just made me hate those people
I just wish the lead person wasn't you know... Only reason I'm on KDE.
I'm ootl, whats wrong with the lead person?
cryptofash that hides behind free speech and allows nazis and that to post in the discord and banned a trans person that called out the messages by those users for "inciting arguments" and repeatedly misgendered them then went on about how they're not bigoted they just believe in free speech and blamed the user and pretending they were the victim and then when people said they should have a code of conduct he said doing that was just a hassle and how it would make it impossible to do lead dev stuff for him to enforce the rules while saying they have rules against that sort of thing anyway so blatant doublespeak where he's saying he's moderating and everyone's lying but also if he had to moderate he'd be too busy to develop
All sounds awful but I'm mostly confused as to why a software project needs a discord
I fucking hate Discord with a passion because of all the information basically being held behind a proprietary piece of software, so I downloaded Legcord to at least be able to join those communities without sacrificing my own privacy.
Highly recommend it! I have a Fallout terminal theme, and actually enjoy using it for once knowing that the actual app is not installed on my computer. :)
Adamant transphobe, but in that insidious way where they justify letting people get bullied in the Discord because their "not on anyone's side and value different opinions". A trans person in the Discord server was targeted by another member and intentionally misgendered repeatedly. They spent multiple blogs basically saying "people are snowflakes, we dont want an echo chamber". Like wtf. (IIRC, working off my memory since I read about it like 2 months ago)
Why not Sway?
just don't vibe with it tbh. Can't explain in an objective way why though.
I absolutely love sway. It's everything I need, and nothing I don't. Just works for me
Wayland is pretty darn great nowadays, hell I'm running KDE and got HDR on my desktop; haven't had any odd goings on since 2023 (though nvidia is still meh)
They are called compositors, but they are not as good as X WMs IMO. I'm keeping an eye on them tho.
It still bothers me how toxic the hyprland devs behaved last year. Keeping an eye on that too π
I was building a kiosk for my home assistant with my Raspberry Pi. It was very complicated to set up a cage compositor, set up XWayland, setup Chromium Wayland flags, libinput rules, and the touchscreen mapping still doesnβt workβ¦ am I missing something here? For X11 everything just works right out of the boxβ¦
