mojo, in Hyprland is a toxic community

this guy just learned about discord general chats lol

they’re all this bad, and also they’re absolutely dogshit for open source software so I have no idea why people make them

moonpiedumplings,

I’m in the max server limit, 100 right now, and many of those are people who treat discord as github, which is so annoying (but many projects are of questionable legality, like Dan’s palace which makes and distributes completed android and vita ports of other games for free).

One time I got excited since there was announcement for the half life 2 android source port discord. I thought it was a big update or maybe a new game, but what I saw was something like:

the memes channel is for memes, not child porn

It’s just discord that has these issues. Matrix or IRC don’t have these problems. Discord just creates a kind of culture that fosters this stuff.

blindbunny,

Nope it’s all over matrix as well.

Who cares about the community? If it’s useful and works I will use it. It’s not like I’m paying for it. If the community is toxic people will not contribute to the project. If they don’t need contributors they can do whatever they like.

rjek, in Hyprland is a toxic community

I struggle to be interested in any bling project written by C++ “coders” since they were 9 who don’t even know how copyright works so use a pseudonym there instead - they’re almost always inexperienced children. And children are almost always sociopaths.

drspod,

Is Hyprland violating someone’s copyright?

RaivoKulli, in Hyprland is a toxic community

It wasn’t really my fault – I was a product of my environment

Riiight.

TeryVeneno,

You kinda left out the next line in which he says

But it was my responsibility

That’s the whole statement and tbh I agree. It’s never anyone’s fault for being a bad person, but it is 100% their responsibility to right their wrongs.

Zamundaaa,

The very next words are “but it was my responsibility”… what exactly is bad about that statement if you don’t intentionally cherry pick a bad quote?

As someone on HackerNews said:

I’ve never felt the need for any “community” for my window manager of choice

phario,

Hmmm. If abuse happens, is the right idea to say that “I don’t need this community”?

I’m not sure how that HackerNews comment helps in the slightest. If my university has an obscure basket weaving community and people are getting abused in that community, should I just say “Eh we don’t actually need a basket weaving community”.

It’s also amusing to me that a commenter on a relatively obscure and niche website is complaining that that don’t need (or care about abuse that transpired on) a niche community from another website. And then this comment is echoed in yet another niche community.

I just wanted to point out that it’s ridiculous to form some kind religion¹ around a wayland compositor.

Also, I don’t want anybody to think I’m supporting what’s happening there. I just don’t really care about Hyprland’s community because I’m not part of it.

¹Hyprland’s discord server is named “Church of Hyprland”

sky, in Hyprland is a toxic community

[A trans person] joined the Discord server and made a big deal out of their pronouns […] because they put their pronouns in their nickname and made a big deal out of them because people were referring to them as “he” [misgendering them], which, on the Internet, let’s be real, is the default.

Damn I didn’t know women didn’t exist on the internet! Also “making a big deal out of ones pronouns” is almost never the case, it’s always just a normal request for the respect of addressing someone properly.

Spore, in I think Wayland should have been approached differently

So why not just use the lean and maintainable wlroots

wlroots can’t be used (comfortably and idiomatically) in Rust because it’s too hard (if not impossible) to provide a memory-safe interface for it.

we can move to another implementation of the Wayland protocols.

So unfortunately this has already happened.

lotanis, in Help me understand Linux distros updates.

You can update your version of Fedora through the updater software as well but it’s a very clear separate process that is initiated manually.

Distro version updates bring major updates to key packages - the one you’d notice most would be to Gnome, the desktop environment. There will be other things too that get only bugfix and security updates during the life of that version, and then after a while that version will lose support and you won’t get any updates at all (docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/).

Updating is very safe and reliable. I’ve had my Fedora install at work for 3 years, updating periodically and it’s working extremely well.

cryball,

To OP: this is a much clearer & better explanation for what I was trying to say.

flashgnash, in Forge/popshell Gnome tiling extension is broken by steam

Can’t say I’ve run into the issue but personally I just exclude steam from forge’s tiling anyway as I don’t want it to try to tile games

Auli, in Purism Announce New 11-Inch Linux Tablet

Really people still purchase from this company? I wonder how many years people we’ll have to wait to not get their tablet?

Now I need to know who the hell has installed Free Download Manager on Linux.

SSUPII, in yas-bdsm: Yet Another Stow-Based Dotfiles System Manager

He knows

NateSwift,

You can think of yas-bdsm eject as your safeword.

He definitely knows

AJamesBrown,

You can put whatever you wish inside of YAS-BDSM as long as everyone is having a good time.

Feel free to use it (or get used by it).

rotopenguin, in Why I dislike snaps
@rotopenguin@infosec.pub avatar

On the plus side, snaps also crap your system log full of petty little AppArmor events. And when snap gets its permissions wrong, you can easily fix it with SnapSeal.

(If Flatpak would just fucking stop rewriting every file path as /var/run/1000/blah, it would be the unquestionably superior package tech)

SirNuke,

Friction between Snap and AppArmor is to be expected. The corporate sponsor of Snap, Canonical, is well known for their icy relationship with the corporate sponsor of AppArmor, Canonical.
