@originzz my argument isn't that things shouldn't change. My argument is that gender pronouns have for as long as they have existed been used as a linguistic tool to communicate the difference between the genders. Pronouns have never been a form of expression. The idea of using pronouns being a form of expression is a very new idea that hasn't been in the public discourse until the last 10-20ish years.

@KoopstaKlicca the OP and following comments are sarcastic. Nobody thinks this is good for anyone except the devs themselves who don't have to pay engineers to care about anything other than Windows. Almost all game dev happens on Windows in Windows shops because historically the game drivers have only been workable on that platform. Because of that there's few Linux enthusiasts in the game dev industry because the industry standard has been set and isn't changing quickly.

Why tf would they made that the default behavior. I'll stick with fastfetch then? Or just be a uname -a purist.

Nixos rocks, it's mod team sucks.

@excidium666 KDE and Gnome adopting Wayland will be huge for future support.
2
@groundfx5733 that's fair, but that makes it ineligible for a neofetch replacement then.

@Leniwcowaty-xh5cj those numbers are misleading. I use Linux for nearly everything except multiplayer gaming due to anti cheat compatibility issues. I'm counted as a windows user even though I'm a staunch Linux enjoyer. Those numbers do not indicate the number of people that would choose to use Linux over Windows if given the choice. They've created a chicken and egg issue.
2
This is the chicken and egg problem all over again. I'm a Linux user and I GPU passthrough my GPU to game on Windows so I'm not counted in the survey as a Linux user but I would MUCH prefer to game on Linux. The majority of people who game on Linux do it in a VM and are not counted.

@nobodyspecial1553 the right for states to leave freely was only present in the articles of confederation which were never adopted. The articles were scrapped in favor of the Constitution of the United States and later the Bill of Rights. While we can use the articles of confederation to help understand what the founding fathers were or weren't thinking at the time it is not the founding or operating document of the United States. States can not freely leave the United States without an amendment to the constitution through a super majority vote in Congress or a convention of states. Additionally, The United States has never been a democracy. Our founding fathers had enough common sense to recognize the tyrannical rule of the majority over the minority and the other issues of democracy. We are and always have been a Representative Federated Republic of States where the base unit of representation at the federal level is the State not the individual. That is why the majority of states have a winner takes all voting scheme.

@nobodyspecial1553 you know it brother

@ZugTheDragon please explain to me how you got that from what I said.

 @ky3ow You can configure hyprland to open windows in new full screen workspaces by default and then you can manually merge if desired.

It's all a social construct

@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX how much you want to bet this gets severely downgraded?

I really doubt the version any Chinese citizen would have access to would be spookware free

On Linux an admin can easily write a script to be hooked into the kernel before any other module. That means any anti cheat can be easily bypassed with a little kernel development knowledge. There is no way to fix this because this is exactly how Linux was designed and is made intentionally easy for legitimate use cases.

 @TremereTT not everyone knows c++ or how compositors or window systems work. That's a massive undertaking for a desktop user.

@s8err1 that's why it was a systemd patch for openssh. It was added afterwards during build time not part of the base openssh. There is nothing wrong with systemd in regard to this exploit. The vulnerability was in the pipeline and the social engineering of the over extended maintainer. There was no bug. The application operated at expected given the compile inputs and options. What we need is provable reproducible builds that way if someone sneaks a patch in during a non build step it will get flagged.
1
@ToumalRakesh you seem to have more of an issue with systemd than the actual vulnerability. Any root executable or build system that is backdoored is going to result in a pwnd system. As @DGao said the attackers chose to scope the attack for whatever reason.

@originzz naw I'm going to live in reality and you can live in your made up hyper socialized world where truth doesn't matter because it might offend someone. Let me give you a little philosophical insight, people who lie to themselves typical don't last long.

@tacokoneko I think an official matrix server would be a great solution that could have completely avoided this problem.

@meteor4716 I think asking for professionalism in the public projects sever is reasonable.

Remember that time that Isreal took a piece of malware that was specifically targeted at Iranian nuclear refinement facilities and made the worm algorithm so aggressive that it effected 70% of the internet without permission form the US who wrote the initial malware? I'm sure the worm didn't include a backdoor or anything.

@no_name4796 I use Nix now but I previously used arch for many years. I never had any issues that broke my system except for bugs in the kernel itself which are easy enough to roll back. Now I use Nix it's even easier and nearly impossible to brick my system and even if it does I can bootstrap my entire system without much effort.

@saki7804 Mozilla promoted search engine censorship and is anti-free speech. Don't think for a second they're any better than Google. They hate you too!

I don't understand why I'd want tiling on a graphical UI first desktop environment. Part of why I love tiling is because I use vim motions for everything I can except the browser.
1
 @AstoundingAmelia Nixos supports multiple architectures so its entirely possible without any of the drawbacks you've discussed if implemented properly.
1
@AstoundingAmelia I'd like to see Arch support ARM especially as it becomes a more popular. There is no technical limitation that prevents them from doing so was my point.

@miguelguthridge it's not your discord and not your project. You are demonstrating precisely the entitlement "trans" people have when demanding things of others. Nobody thinks you shouldn't exist. You're so detached from reality. They just think you have gender dysphoria which you objectively do.

@roundduckkira because I wanted to change it lol. I'm going to change it again soon.

@khoidauminh the open source community has been taken over by activists and ideologues. Banning people from a tech platform for political speech and jokes is pretty insane.

@AyaWetts the majority of games use engines that compile directly to linux with nothing more than a single flag and are deployed by steam. Modern games are packaged through CI/CD not manually. The whole "effort" argument just isn't true anymore. The majority of games don't build for Linux because it's not enabled by default.
1
@nobodyimportant7804 This is true, and I was unaware of that fact. After doing some more research, it seems that what's truly impressive about his JIT compiler and OS is that it does not differentiate between text, documents, scripts, binaries, and unstructured data like images. TempleOS allows you to embed executable code, text, images, and other data types within a single document, and it can interpret all of these data types simultaneously without delegating to external programs. HolyC is able handle everything in one environment which is really cool. Unlike TempleOS, Unix/Linux systems typically require distinct data types and separate interpreters for each type. It's an interesting idea. I'm not sure if it's necessarily good or bad, but it certainly is different. Having one system standard to process a variety of data types within a single document is very innovative and I can certainly see some use cases where this simplifies things.

@_vsnwprintf_s_l Again, please read the entire comment. I said in sprit. Constitutionally the first amendment only protects individuals from governments but freedom of speech is a spirit not just an an amendment.

 @genstian is that a chicken an egg problem? Maybe Linux is more prevalent on servers BECAUSE the desktop experience isn't worked on.

 @s0g steamos is basically running chromium in kiosk mode on top of arch.

@donkey7921 Valve does not use a kernel level anti cheat and has one of the most effective anti cheats by implementing a reputation system and AI cheat detection. It has been more successful in removing cheaters from the general player pool than any other anti cheat. Even if you have an anti cheat at the kernel level I can virtualize a cheat and hook the operating system itself from outside the kernel. And even if you can detect that (which isn't possible currently) cheat devs can write custom hardware firmware that is completely undetectable without having physical access to the device. Some cheaters have even been able to reverse and reimplement the anti cheat API completely neutering it. The only unbypassable anti cheat is server anti cheat.

 @oro6768 more specifically it's chromium and electron that doesn't support it.
1
 @kamikamieu that's the same argument as "it just works on windows." Doesn't mean it's a superior implementation. Flatpack has seriously drawbacks.
1
"we dont want to support a user feature because supporting that feature would be hard." Ive never heard a worse copout excuse for not supporting a feature. If adding new features causes complexity then your architecture is poor.

 @fish3977 literally no. Foss isn't a tool for communists or otherwise to push their bs. Just share software because you think it may help others. Thats it.
1
@cameronbosch1213 there is nothing political about sharing software. People from all sides of the political spectrum support free and open source software.
1
@fish3977 what I mean is that the politics if any were scoped and limited to the software itself not any other specific political ideology. All different types of political groups supported Foss. That fact isn't an excuse to purge an entire class of people from participating in the free software space.

@fish3977 I'm not your bro guy

@mgord9518 I can respect that take. I don't think KDEs approach is much better. KDE arguably did the same thing making their own config. I don't find the hyprland config offensive. It's actually really simple compared to the xcursor implementation. But that's just a difference in opinion. I'm not super familiar with the KDE implement and I've only used hyprcursor enough to get my system cursor themed so I don't claim to be an authority on the matter.

A refreshed look and feel would be great 😃

@Nekotik I'd argue that your city/town are more real than anything on the Internet ever could be. Sorry if that is off topic. It is a very important concept since it is the second pillar of our society. Family, community, god or religion.
1
@nikkiofthevalley all societies are based off of some religious values even if you don't recognize it or practice. Individualism was originally a Christian concept. Also, I'm not Christian and can still see this.
