lurch (he/him)

There are people who proud themselves in kicking puppies and more would come forward if they felt it’s acceptable.

It’s still pretty bad, but they recruited jannies recently and it seems to have a small effect.

It’s real, but you don’t get to see anything from billions of viewers who don’t mind or even enjoy a little variety. Only the five hillbilly snowflakes who feel offended by a skin tone bother to voice their stupid opinion.

you could cause a screeching feedback loop

I feel quality of life has improved massively in EU. Everything is the best it has ever been in my region.

In the past few years options to get things delivered to my home tripled. Crime rate is way down. Even though I’m not a vegan, I have many good vegan options I often choose now (like various vegan chocolate from all supermarkets near me). Public transport is super cheap at the moment. More than 90% of my company works from home. A lot of things have been automated or work online, e.g. payroll, most bills, banking, some administrative things, getting doctors appointments, etc…

idk. i have never used nix. however, i think a specialty of gentoo are global USE flags. it’s a list of compile time options you want to use. they will automatically be used for packages that support them. for example, if you enable the bluetooth flag, all packages you install will get bluetooth support and additional dependencies may get pulled in. if you use -bluetooth however, they won’t get bluetooth support, even if it’s their default. they can also be tweaked indivudually per package, which is more like nix, i think.

Updating on Gentoo works with it’s package management, but the actual packages are source code archives (and maybe patch files). It downloads them, compiles and installs them in a special build environment, then, if it worked, applies them to the system and removes the old version.

It’s like you want to misunderstand me. I’m not bashing Wayland. That part of my comment isn’t about WMs and compositors. It’s about how hard it is to make macro that does a few clicks and types a few keys into an app etc… It’s still very hard in Wayland. I’m sure it will get better some day, but we’re not there yet.

To clarify: This causes problems like ugly font rendering and some games not working, etc.

You misunderstood totally. I’m not saying it’s not possible. There isn’t a compositor making use of those things, but many X WMs that do.

Java GUI applicatiins have to use the X compatibility layer of Wayland at the moment, because Wayland support hasn’t been integrated into JREs yet

sry, i don’t use youtube. the clickbait suggestions anger me.

Depends things like shaped window borders for theming, title bars in hyprland, effects, pagers, some automation options, etc…

What I generally miss in Wayland is better mouse automation support, Java support, the ability to have multiple mouse cursors and assign them to different input devices.

attractive is highly subjective tho

idk who that is, but it’s in wikipedia

I find those funny, which just have the same word in another language for their name, like the River Avon or the Sahara Desert or even Torpenhow Hill which is “Hill Hill Hill Hill” in different languages.

They are called compositors, but they are not as good as X WMs IMO. I’m keeping an eye on them tho.

It still bothers me how toxic the hyprland devs behaved last year. Keeping an eye on that too 😉

Eternity too

Eternity for example

it just means they can’t help you, if you have an issue. of course you can still connect to their VPN.
