Oh no, they’ll lose sales! … Unless nobody wants a CPU that’s gonna blow up hahahahahahah!

Wow, I’d no idea it was something like that. Had assumed it was some technical direction complaint where Hyprland couldn’t go where its leadership wanted because of how wlroots was being made… nooope!

re-rewrite Okay I’ve done more looking and according to Vaxry there are technical reasons. Just… no one’s talking about them. It’s just “ooooh 🤤 wow so impressive rewriting wlroots!” and a little bit of back-and-forth over, basically, whether Hyprland’s community is full of bigots or just likes keeping its fruit cold (see: freeze peach). Very weird situation, in terms of this news. I’d expect to see discussion of the merits of this change (which, again, Vaxry did… if you go find that blog post!). 🤷

tl;dr: Looks like Vaxry wanted to replace wlroots for tech reasons and does not interact with hunams well. Hyprland community probably crap, probably why FreeDesktop kicked him. 🤷

wanders off very shruggily

Okay, but why?

Thankies :3 It’s definitely cute ;P

I mostly subscribe to less fun-hating sorts of places so I didn’t think anything of cuting a lil tiny bit 🤷 I guess we’ve gotta all be sooooper cereal around here or people get upset for reasons 😅 🥣 I’ll just assume it’s because all of those people are techbros who’ve been bitten by mice and can’t even bring themselves to talk about it.

Off-topic: SQUEEKboard?!?? I need an excuse to use this 🙀

(Lil bit of backstory: I squeek sometimes. It’s a mouse thing 🐭 ^.^ )

Forced reading used to be a thing when I was in school 🤔 I assume now it’s just movies all day with the occasional book burning as a treat. Maybe throw some Kindles full of leaded solder or something onto the fire, get some nice toxins in the air for the kids to breathe. Great, now I’m grumpy and depressed. 😞

Never gonna accept that I2P and Freenet and Tor-as-darknet (and whatever else) get so little attention. We managed to get Lemmy to be a thing but most of us just kinda hope clearnet sites on corporate systems and networks stay up instead of going for alternative networks that may be harder to control? Bleh.

🤣 A hundred thousand hours to work on the argument, than another eighteen to perfectly polish up the phrasing

Also maybe mixuppable with Guix https://guix.gnu.org/ (which I’ve heard is pronounced “Geeks”)

Edit: I hope whoever downvoted this extracts their head from their backside long enough to actually say something. There really should be some sort of punishment for people who silently downvote things that contain no clear controversy. A special hell for them to just glare at each other in, maybe.

OP’s name is pretty apropos 😅

Aaahhh, this is horrifying! You’ve ruined my breakfast 🙀

Finally, my chance to say…

I use Arch, by the way :D

…Also, I tried Ubuntu and Mint and Fedora and some others (ages ago). Didn’t like feeling like everything I wanted to do was stepping on the toes of some software that was trying to manage it for me, but not how I wanted or I just didn’t want it managed for me.

I tend to alternate between Arch and Gentoo every few years. Sometimes Arch feels like it’s making assumptions and doing things its way more than I want, but then Gentoo takes ages to install or update anything, is a bit more fiddly. I’ll probably go back or maybe try out Funtoo again but for now I don’t have a CPU that won’t melt if I try to compile things (laptop-only booooo v.v!!) sooo Arch for now. :3 🤷

I had other stuff written but apparently didn’t post any of that. Bleh. Tired now, not gonna agree (nor stop getting silently downvoted, gotta love that) anyway. Off I go ö/

Maybe it could’ve been clearer about that, then? I felt like it was really pushing the “Guy’s a fuckin’ cop-lover!” angle really hard to the point of skewing the facts a bit just to stress it.

Specifically, Open Season. Gross game, but not this big scary glowing radioactive thing and probably not the actual most reactionary game of the nineties. Article’s kinda crap, really; the whole point is “a prick hired a prick to be involved in a prickish game.”

[Sarcastic ‘translation’] tl;dr: A lot of people who are relatively well-placed to understand how much technology is involved even in downvoting this post are downvoting this post because they’re afraid of technology!

Just more fad-worshipping foolishness, drooling over a buzzword and upset that others call it what it is. I want it to be over but I’m sure whatever comes next will be just as infuriating. Oh no, now our cursors all have to change according to built-in (to the cursor, somehow, for some reason) software that tracks our sleep patterns! All of our cursors will be obsolete (?!??) unless they can scalably synergize with the business logic core to our something or other 😴

Gross! Couldn’t even let schools decide, somehow it’s important to ban them state-wide? Piss off.

Did startup Flow Computing just make CPUs 100x faster?

No.

Did you enjoy humans spouting bullshit faster than humans can debunk it? Well, brace for impact because here comes machine-generated bullshit! Wooooeee’refucked! 🥳

Idunno where you got the idea that I’m for slurs or against disabled people but it’s kinda insulting, especially when you took “sometimes said as a derogatory word” and ran it like it’s the whole point or the article over the complaint that got its own paragraph (the Pulp Fiction bit) and shared the same sentence the disability bit is in, or the one that got the whole rest of the article (that it’s vaguely unprofessional). In fact I’m getting more irked every time I go look for evidence that I’ve misinterpreted it. Reading through a couple crap anecdotes to one that actually says something, we get a VP smirking at the name, which makes me wonder whether that person’s just a hateful prick smirking at a disability term or one of the many who giggle at any reference to anything associated with sex. The other three are just “some people dislike the name.” I conclude that the article does not take issue primarily with the name being an abusive term and wonder why you’d say that.

I muchly dislike careless use of abusive terms (I’ve probably got an essay or two ranting over the usage (and existence) of “crazy” and “insane,” for example) so I really don’t disagree that abusive terms should be treated much more seriously.

My entire point was that the author seems to be throwing things at the wall hoping something sticks, not seriously worrying some spooky scary BDSM critter (hi, it’s me :3 ) is gonna tie them up (of course not, the ropes are for me :3 ), nor that anyone’s getting bullied by the tool’s name or it’s irritating old wounds or really anything at all. I don’t think they’re taking any of this seriously. If the term’s abusive in a way that can’t be neutralized by taking it from abusers and making it something else (an arguably valid thing to do) then that’s worth actual serious discussion and not just part of one sentence in a six-page essay.

tl;dr: The article barely even mentions anything about disability and, I think, does so more as an excuse for itself than out of any serious concern for anyone. My complaint/point is, to be clear, exclusively that the article is crap and not that abusive terminology is okay. The article has failed to demonstrate any actual problem with the name itself other than handwavey “some people say” that it’s vaguely unprofessional.
