Oh seriously?
Not aware of the toxicity... any starting point for this storyline?
Calling it a storyline makes it seem like you already don't believe it.

TL;DR (there should be an open source drama summarising website!):
- Hazing someone in your discord because they have pronouns in their bio
- Speaking pretty bluntly against queer people and minorities at large
- "at 15 he doesnt even know what he will be studying at uni and he already wanna go get AIDS?"
- "I think this server's motto should be 'love guns, hate damn minorities'"
there should be an open source drama summarising website
https://github.com/neodrama/github-drama is the closest thing I know of, but only covers things on github. lunduke usually covers a good bit of drama also. even mentioning his name on gnome forums is an instant auto-ban.
Drew demonstrated pretty remarkable patience there.
That's insane
The lead dev thought it was no big deal that the moderators of his official discord server were going out of their way to harass trans people. Then when someone said "hey this isn't okay" he was like "why am I to blame I didn't do it"
He didn't just wash off his hands. When asked in an interview about a moderator who edited a trans user's profile to intentionally misgendering them (yup, even that's not off limits for their mods), he justified it saying that 'It's not like using the N-word or something'. (For context, the n-word itself was innocuous. It gained notoriety due to its misuse by bigots like this).
There are several such examples - repeatedly even after being called out. I don't belong to any diversity groups. But I don't care if they make the world's best operating system. I will stay well away from it if only to avoid any interaction with such a group. They're a bit too happy about harassing people (not just transgenders either).
100%. I wanted to summarize things as succinctly as possible but its basically impossible to deny this person is a complete bastard
Man... And this is why companies have lawyers lol
You can't expect a dev to understand how this shot is clown lol
The main dev, Vaxry, is a transphobic fascist shithead. To such an extent that he's been banned from contributing to freedesktop.
He's also an immense ass when commenting on issues on his own repos.
Hyprland itself is decent, though breaking changes happen frequently. And the plugin manager is a complete mess.
I got so sick of dealing with breaking changes, and seeing his stupid fucking aryan anime avatar constantly reminded me of how shit of a person Vaxry is, that I just said "fuck it" and switched over to Plasma 6, and haven't really looked back.
Yeah. Like... I can't think hyprland offers enough to make it worth promoting. Its like... Yeah Drake put out some tracks than when they show up in my feed I like until I realize its that massive piece of shit. You can't really have death of the author when the author gains more audience through hype of their output. I'd recommend people interested in hyprland look at river, sway, or dwl instead
Appreciate the context
The site has blocked entire IP range of my country I wonder why? Hmm
Canada?
not available in India too
Not blocked for me, so no
EDIT: Also, is that a Stormlight reference?
Indeed it is
Love it. Book 5 in December :))))
Oh man! I hate CF! The scummy gatekeepers.
Or your country blocked it?
You don't happen to be Russian or Chinese do you?
Why would you ever package Hyprland on Debian that seems extremely stupid. Hyprland is not very stable and is constantly requiring updates. This is going to result in a ton of outdated bug reports.
Hyprland is not very stable and is constantly requiring updates.
That's why for now it is only distributed in unstable repo, I guess.
Anyway, I'll stick to the plain and simple Sway.
The good thing with packages on Debian is, they have to create it once in a lifetime.
Not really as there is a lot of testing that goes into Stable
Oh yes, it's a joke, not really serious about it. :D I'm just making fun of Debian being slower on updates for the end user (which is the point of a slow stable release model).
I am not a user. I am a Linux enjoyer!!!
