Hyprland 0.47 Lands With HDR Support and Squircles

[boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net]

Good ol squircles, transphobia and nice animations. All a good compositor needs.

transphobia

The what now

[bringit34@lemmygrad.ml]

Hyprland is very pretty and smooth. But damn. It's reputation as a home to a community homophobia and transphobia keeps me far away.

I wish there was another wm devoted to eye candy but until then sway will be my preferred wm

[yetanotheruser@discuss.tchncs.de]

Hyprland has a right-wing reactionary community surrounding it. For instance, on their Discord a trans person had their username's pronouns changed to (who/cares) by a moderator after being upset that they were misgendered.

Point

Counterpoint

[vinnymac@lemmy.world]

Hyprland is a right-wing community, because a sole moderator is being a dick to the trans community? Am I reading that correctly? Must be missing some context

[yetanotheruser@discuss.tchncs.de]

No, this was an instance of transphobia in their official Discord community. See this for context.

Another instance is how Hyprland's developer is banned from contributing to freedesktop.org for repeated COC violations.

Has? Or had? The thing you mentioned about a troll is 2 years ago.

[stiltonfondu@sopuli.xyz]

I’ve been using Hyprland for a couple of years now. Not really interacted with the community(discord) a great deal but when I have I’ve not seen anything like that previous incident.

[yetanotheruser@discuss.tchncs.de]

I'm not actively following it since I stopped using Hyprland around that time.

If there has been significant positive change since then I stand corrected.

[eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip]

I'm not a native English speaker. What does "I stand corrected"?

[kogasa@programming.dev]

It means they admit they were wrong and you were correct. As in, "I have been corrected."

[yetanotheruser@discuss.tchncs.de]

It's an idiom about admitting you're wrong.

In other words, you could write the sentence as:

"If there has been significant positive change since then, I admit that what I wrote was wrong."

[patatahooligan@lemmy.world]

Vaxrys literally arguing that Hitler should be welcome in communities as long as pushes his goal of gassing of people outside the discord server, but "SJWs" are the real bigots ruining communities

[verdigris@lemmy.ml]

There is SwayFX btw, just sway with some extra eye candy. Nothing super fancy though.

[underisk@lemmy.ml]

That counterpoint says that the only CoC he would write is “don’t be an asshole” and refutes the transphobia misgendering shit buy posting the wider context where the guy is explicitly an asshole to the person for having pronouns in their username. Tries to claim that the trans person being mocked “started it” by misgendering first, when the person in question simply assumed a gender to prove a point about the utility of pronoun tags, unlike the guy who deliberately chose to use the wrong pronouns to address someone, like an asshole.

This man is a clown fuck hyprland.

[overspark@feddit.nl]

Last part isn't true, he was banned for refusing to give his own community a COC that was compatible with the freedesktop one. Which is quite an overreach IMHO.

[utubas@lemm.ee]

Lmao just because those two cunts tried to shove that CoC (pun intended) with a feeling of moral superiority because of that isolated incident?

[yetanotheruser@discuss.tchncs.de]

I admit, I was partially wrong. The CoC violations occured outside freedesktop and he received an email from a freedesktop member stating that their CoC does extend outside their immediate project, to some extent.

This isn't that unreasonable in my opinion, considering that his behavior "reflects on communities like [FreeDesktop] when [they] interact with and accept contributions from hyprland."

Of course this should only apply to severe CoC violations considering that two different CoCs rarely overlap in full.

So the reason for the ban was that hyprland's developer published their email exchange and wrote an extensive, surprisingly hostile blog post about it.

I genuinely recommend reading their exchange, I've rarely seen this amount of hostility and toxicity in an email exchange - followed up with "I hope we can resolve this constructively" and "I will be seeking legal action if you continue threatening to ban me".

[mactan@lemmy.ml]

it sucks, I guarantee if we scratch the surface of any package's community you'll find no shortage of libertarian bigoted weirdos. don't know what to do with the information on that scale
