  • They might be able to squeeze through a crack in the wall this time, but one day the BigTech Reaper will catch them!
    Not even the iCult, armed to their teeth with unrepairable landfill from their deity, will be able to help them!

    I suspect that in the not too distant future, the PRC will eventually outcompete them in terms of Quality, Quantity & Price.
    China will make actually innovative and useful hardware using domestic ingredients that will make Apple landfill obsolete.

    Washington may hand out sanctions and the iCult may cry and tell people to vote with their wallet, but that won’t stop the Reaper.

    hyprland isn’t “suckless” at all. Even a normal person will go “wow this sucks” at the sight of the hyprland codebase and the way they do things.
    Most of the “suckless” software has the benefit of depending on old, massive X11 swiss knife libs that haven’t really changed in the last 30+ years and are available on most UNIX-like Systems, which makes compiling it from source trivial.
    If X was still under active development then all the “suckless” software would only be “suckless” on OpenBSD, because those guys have their own fork of X11 that hasn’t been touched since the end of the 2nd Century.

    I don’t understand this buzz around hyprland. It does nothing better than any of the other Wayland Compositors when I tried using it not too long ago. It has some eye candy effects sure, but the multi-monitor support is as terrible as it is in Sway, but at least in Sway there is a relatively simple way to fix that. hyprland expects you to compile and install some plugins through their own builtin Package Manager! It’s so unnecessary and only adds to the complexity. Plus it sometimes just doesn’t work and errors out with a cryptic error message and the only fix is to wipe the plugins and start over.

    One would think that they’d do the sane thing and just implement proper support for something as useful as multi monitor in the base software. I swear these fascists are so convinced that paradise is found in the past, they think it’s still the 2000s and most people just have 1 Video Output in their PC.


  • I befriended this guy in an online game. Eventually we became friends on Steam and it turned out we both had a lot in common and we started playing a few other games together as well.
    One day he told me that he got a girlfriend, who he later then married. After some time they got divorced and he hasn’t messaged me since.
    I really miss staying up until 6 in the morning, playing long AoE2 and Stronghold Crusader matches with him.
