GENTOO

I am shitting on Hyprland because DHH, who is responsible for the mess that is Omarchy, is in bed with Vaxry and they both enable each other. I did not say that Hyprland has any vulnerabilities. I said that people who have a hard on for aesthetics do so because they are compensating for a lack of substance most often. I was specifically referring to this privilidge escalation fuck up.

and i dont think hyprland is here like “the thing” that will attract users.

Well, the attempt is made for it to be part of just that. See Omarchy.

it’s for power users.

Almost all programs that implement some sort of GUI the way XFCE or dwm does are for power users, it’s called being on Linux. The exception here is maybe the latest GNOME release. Hyprland is also for the r/UNIXPORN crowd.

Future of Linux my ass. I want something that works.

This guy is complete trash. Does excessive coding rip holes into people’s brains?

That’s fucking delicious. I am so not surprised that people who focus only on aesthetics (by that I mean those behind omarchy and hyprland) would fuck up the most basic things where substance has any importance. Aesthetics is for idiots! I will never want the Linux desktop to take over because of coolness, I want the software that attacks important questions to take over. These reactionaries have proven themselves to be utterly incompetent once again, and they will continue to prove their incompetence because they all lack insight and think of themselves as being god’s chosen ones.

It’s a vanity project. You know how Notch bought a Bugatti, this is the software equivalent.

Why?

Source? And if that is the case, the developing that’s been done has been in a useful direction. I honestly don’t understand how Hyprland, which will always be niche if there are no fundamental additions made to it, is getting a ton of money while Asahi is still stuck at Apple M 2 chips.

Look, all developed countries, with only a few exceptions, experience declining fertility. This lack is partially made up for up by immigration. However it’s not occurring at a rate that creates strain on the systems you have mentioned. Numbers are indeed still declining, albeit slowly.

This leaves us with a very different sort of structural change. If target countries are not bursting at their seams – which I would argue is ostensible, then why is there a supply-side issue in regards to basic services? Could it be that, for example, deskilling and austerity measures have something to do with this? I leave it up for you to determine cause and effect.

This is a non-sequitur. Israel is a colonial project forced upon the Levant by Britain and the US. The places crying most about immigration have historically been the most egregious colonisers. Man made climate change is scientifically well-established, the concept of human races along with the idea that some groups of h. sapiens are by virtue of geographical origin deleterious to another, are both misconceptions.

Scientists don’t oppose climate change because it goes against a state of nature, they oppose it because it very concretely threatens livelihoods, which can not be said about immigration.

Demographics change. No use crying about stupid borders on a map.

You know who needs that money? Open hardware projects, everything around LoRa, projects that promote tech literacy, programs for accessibility, the Linux Foundation itself, list goes on. What needs it the least? An ass arch install with pre-installed programs.

Hostile takeover of Linux, resist with full force!

ARE YOU KIDDING? STOCKINGS ARE FOR NERDS – ARCH USERS – AND ONE CERTAIN FALLEN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN. NEWPORTS AND SHITTY INSTANT COFFEE ARE THE GENTOO PREREQUISITES.

I CHANGED MY MIND THEY NEED TO DO LFS

This is true, it’s the need for consistency that drives up costs.

Photography is harder than most people think. You need to get to the places where you are doing your job, there is tons of communication involved, then there is editing and proper archival stuff you need to do, accounting is also completely different from that of an uber driver’s, and it’s not just the camera that costs more than 5K (looking at you BRIESE and any basic lens set – telephoto, normal, wide angle, zoom, low light will quickly exceed the 20K mark if you care about professional standards). It’s really a whole thing.

No, even this is a very bad idea. Ideally, no books are destroyed. A close relative of mine works as an archivist. They have tons of examples of how digitising and then destroying can create extra burdens. The data on hard drives or flash devices is too fragile.

I know that in disciplines such as math there are very often have books with less than 50 copies in circulation. The LLM companies buy maybe 2 of a given book which are subsequently destroyed with no backup data. You’re now at 48 in circulation, that is a significant reduction. Rinse and repeat a couple of million times and this starts to have a major influence on knowledge.

What’s perverse about it is that the data from the books is stored extremely badly within the models. So not only are you destroying sources, you are also necessarily falsifying them.
