It is a quandary.

I would not support the project monetarily because I would not want to fund the primary persons behind it.

But Hyprland is FOSS is it not? Someone could fork the project to resolve the issue you are describing.

If this does not resolve the issue in your opinion (as you seem to have concerns with the “roots” of the project), and if we go with that logic, we should be just as opposed to using the modern “Jerry” gas can as it was a Nazi invention originally.

Both good and evil people invent things - whether the thing that is invented is itself reflective or could be considered supportive of the inventors ideals varies. Nazi’s are terrible and I don’t want to support them, but at the same time I think that it is good and useful to be able to safely and effectively transport gas if needed, and I’m not so certain that function supports Nazi ideals. If I purchased the gas can from a Nazi, then it would, but nothing is being purchased in the case of Hyprland as far as I am aware.

I don’t know a tonne about Hyprland as a thing however, so my decision on whether or not to use it may also vary.

In short, you can have massive, entirely valid criticisms of the evil deeds of a person, but that does not necessarily fault everything they invent or touch, even if we would like it to. This is the crux of the Composition/Division logical fallacy if I am not mistaken, which is where we make an assumption that what is true about part of something must be applied to the rest of it without exception.

In this instance, the inventor may be evil but it does not automatically mean that their inventions are inherently evil.

If there are criticisms of Hyprland, the software itself - then it is a different matter.

I am and do basically whatever they need. Please end my misery.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

What’s the little tiny display in the photo? I’ve been looking for something like that.

As others have said, I think it should be opt in instead of opt out, but it is probably good to have as an option.

However, if the intent is to improve mental health - I would recommend making it an option to hide all votes in their entirety. One can hide their down votes, but that may just change some peoples perspective from “high number of down votes” to “low number of up votes” which to them may be functionally the same as far as mental health is concerned. Therefore I think that it would be good to have the option for each/both.

For me this would have another benefit as well - it would allow me to think about and respond to all content in a more objective and honest manner.

If you are so concerned about battery life that you are looking to jailbreak a phone, instead you should look into a power solution such as power banks - or even better, a solar panel with a controller that stores to a 12 volt car battery or some such.

I really like Debian stable, and have for a very long time. I’m not too fearful of fucking up the system because Debian stable is more stable than most anvils, and I have timeshift installed with regular backups configured which get stored locally and to a RAID 5 array on my NAS system (which is also running Debian). Anything super duper important I also put onto a cloud host I have in Switzerland.

If I want to do something insane to the system, which is rare, then I test it extensively in virtualization first until I am comfortable enough to do it on my actual system, take backups, and then do it.

I am working to make my backup/disaster recovery solution even better, but as it stands I could blow my PC up with a stick of dynamite and have a working system running a day later with access to all of my stuff as it was this morning so long as a store that sells system hardware is open locally. If it were a disk failure, or something in software, It would take less than a day to recover.

So what keeps me from switching is that I really do not see a need to, and I like my OS.

Sniff the packets and see if you can determine what the data is.

Mine are liking Mint quite a lot. They say they feel its easier to find stuff than windows.

Had this problem at one point with upstairs neighbors who outside of making noise also did other insane shit such as trying to use my ground floor patio as a staging area for furniture they intended to winch up to their 2nd story condo without any consent from myself or the building management because apparently trying to winch a 200 LB armoire over a flimsy railing and denying someone else access to their patio was somehow easier in their minds than riding an elevator with it 1 floor upwards.

Record it, every time it happens and note the date and the time. And then every time it happens, send the documentation to your board/building manager pursuant to whatever noise bylaws you have. Eventually, someone will agree it is an annoyance and then they will get warned, and then when they don’t stop, they will get fined.

In my case it did take a fucking year, but because fines at my condo double per infraction, so eventually they were essentially evicted by proxy because the fines were likely into the tens of thousands and they couldn’t afford to continue living there the way they were.

The last of the many arguments I heard from them through the ceiling was when they were trying to move out, and between the two of them they couldn’t seem to manage carrying a bed frame down their hallway 10 feet without scraping the fucking shit out of their walls and started accusing each other over whose fault it was.

Lastly, look into “Mighty plugs ear plugs”. They are the best ones I have ever found, and gave me some respite from the noise. If you feel as though you can’t when you sleep because you won’t hear the alarm, go look for alarm clocks made for deaf persons that have a vibrating mattress pad. Great combination, you can sleep completely deaf but still wake up on time.

I purchased a hammer at a dollar store once, just to see how bad it was.

I found out when the head of the hammer flew off on a back-swing and put a whole in the wall. The neck of the hammer was made of flimsy, hollow tube metal and the head had only been tack-welded on in 2 places.

Yes, the fear is typically that we don’t want to be accused of following you, sneaking up on you, or being creepy, so there is usually some noise or overt thing we do to try to imply we are just minding our own business.

Sometimes to avoid the situation all together, (let’s say I am walking home at night and I see some woman walking the same direction ahead of me, and I know I am going to end up passing her because my pace is faster), then we will literally cross the street just so that we don’t have to be put in the awkward situation of walking up to and past you at 3 am on a public sidewalk.

There are other things beyond this as well that men do or avoid doing which women might not realize. Most men in my experience are really careful to never be left alone with children for example. No one blinks an eye if a woman is, but men have learned to avoid potential false accusations in this way as well.

A lot of men are fearful to do something as simple as taking their kids to the park because of this. You can search for articles in which fathers who take their own kids to the park have been accused of being pedophiles just for sitting on a bench while their children play, or accused of kidnapping just because they are an adult man with a child in public. You won’t find any articles about this happening with a woman.

If the anti fascists of the US actually started arming themselves en masse, I think it would be a net positive effect.

Either you have more armed anti fascists able to fight back, or the fascists panic and begin banning guns, causing the fools who follow them to actually think twice about their beliefs.

Nothing gets far right followers more riled up than someone threatening to take their firearms.

Awesome, thank you! Saving this comment so that I can refer to this in the future as well.

Oh, that’s beautiful. Thank you!

For nvidia drivers it probably took me about 15 minutes and one page off of the Debian wiki.

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

You basically add some repositories, install the drivers, and then set and check some configurations depending on what other parts of your environment look like.

Debian. Solid as a mountain.

This is too bad to hear. I installed Debian stable and have no issues gaming despite also using NVIDIA hardware at present.

What issues did you have with your games?

I used boost until I saw it was sending me dark pattern ads from an ad network, to which the dev had noted they reported it, until it happened again and I moved to voyager, where I no longer have such a problem.
