They passed a bunch on to Hyprland. Fuck all these transphobes and other bigoted right-wing assholes.

Actually, no. Fuck someone nice. Or don't; I'm not your mother.

I just made the switch from Hyprland to Mango today, and it has everything Hyprland had and more, and no transphobia that I know of!

I realised that I really don't need all those bells and whistles, so I'm sticking with Sway for now; it gets the job done, and without taking up too much memory.

Maybe you are 🫣 Jk, I do think hyprland is a nice WM. But man... The drama around it.

I mean, if you wa—oh, you were kidding. You could try some of the forks of sway. I've heard swayfx is pretty good.

There will be a day when I finally learn to code properly and fork the fuck out of X. I'll name it antifaX .

Or not, because it sounds... what's the opposite of sex positive? 🥵

I kinda want to fork Linux and make it AI-free and Rust-free. Wanna help? /hj

I'd be all over that if I had anything to contribute with, but at the moment, I'm still learning the very basics of C and I'm in the middle of some other projects... 😅 Don't let my preoccupation kill your enthusiasm though!!! 🙏💞

Anecdote time
I recently inherited a Commodore 64 from my dad. It's from the 80's. While all I could do with it was

  • type text and see it displayed
  • load some games from cassette tapes

It was extremely refreshing to see that literally nothing was going on in the system other that what I saw on the screen.

Eh, it's probably not a realistically managable project. I might actually have more luck forking the NetBSD kernel to use compat_linux by default, which would achieve decent compatibility with the Linux ABI.

re: Anecdote Time
That's so cool! Yeah, it's pretty neat seeing or using a really simple system like that. Smaller or older computers tend to be a lot easier to understand, too, in my opinion.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
