@monster @thibaultmol @reflex What Vaxry is saying is that if you're in a terrible environment you will likely fall in line with that environment, most people are not capable of standing up to a whole society. Whether you agree with that or not isn't the point, to frame it like that is disingenuous
@reflex Wait, i'm confused. Why are you saying 'fuck Drew'? Isn't drew the person who pointed out the problems with Hyprland's community?.... @monster @BrodieOnLinux
@monster @thibaultmol @reflex I'm not defending anything but if you want to not like someone focus on the things that are real otherwise all you do is hurt your cause when people look into what actually happened
@monster @thibaultmol @reflex If you feel his conduct on discord, and Github or the way he runs his discord is unacceptable, please I encourage you to be critical of that, I've been critical myself. However I'm not encouraging you to get involved in that community. Personally I agree with how OpenSUSE handled this situation build.opensuse.org/request/sho…
For the record I don't call myself apolitical, I have a poltical leaning I just don't bring it up because some people like to hyper focus on that
@monster @reflex @thibaultmol If I say I'm a liberal or I'm a conservative all of a sudden all of my opinions are spoken for and people assume that I align with every single stereotype that fits those groups so I just don't bring it up.
@monster @thibaultmol @reflex This we absolutely agree on, I do think you can so it's probably not productive to keep going down this path as neither of us will budge
@monster @reflex @thibaultmol All communities are going to have psychos with extreme beliefs who are just there to hate watch, the same would happen if I went the other direction
@joojmachine @monster @reflex @thibaultmol It felt like a really unprofessional thing to include in official documentation, I would have said the same thing regardless of which controversial figure was included. Maybe you can argue the way I addressed it wasn't great but I stand by the fact that it didn't belong in the documentation
@monster @reflex @thibaultmol It also says a lot when a small communist reference in a documentation page gets half a video of "why does this exist?" and entire threads of discussion on masto, but hyprland's creator's queerphobia gets swept under the rug every single time.
Love most of your videos, Brodie, but please do better.
@monster @thibaultmol @reflex That's totally fair, it seems like as he has gotten older it has slowly been improving but I see why some don't think it's at the level they want it to be at
@monster @thibaultmol @reflex This is all I was looking for, a levelled take on the situation, thanks for being chill. He has said both on my podcast and in either Drew or his article that he doesn't agree with everything he said a few years back. He doesn't take back everything but he's Polish which is a far more conservative country than the US for example
@monster @joojmachine @reflex @thibaultmol I understand that perspective as well, I've spoken to people after the video came out and the way I handled it was probably more infammatory than it should have been, I like the work Flathub is doing myself and I was concerned with the kind of pushback they'd get and were already getting from including this figure
@monster @thibaultmol @reflex That's true but it's also a far cry from the way it's being portrayed, it's being treated like an online gaming lobby which have never been the friendliest places, this I why I think it's important to go directly to the source and see what's actually being said and come to your own conclusion. Often times the further removed you get from a source the harder it gets to really see what's going on
@monster @joojmachine @reflex @thibaultmol I think we live in a very politically changed time with extremists from all sides of the spectrum who will attack you for all manner of insane reasons
@monster @joojmachine @thibaultmol One side murders people for not conforming and the other...argues on the internet. But hey, extremists all around, what can anyone do about it! It's a mystery!
@monster @joojmachine @reflex @thibaultmol Whilst you may not like that certain people are here free software is open to everybody regardless of what beliefs they have that you might find abhorrent, the software side is the easy problem, it's the dealing with people that makes the free software space a challenge to manage.
@monster @reflex @thibaultmol exactly, and it's nice to try and keep it as a space where marginalized folks don't receive death threats by alt-right lunatics
@monster @joojmachine @thibaultmol You know what's really cool about freedom? The freedom to not associate with, promote or spread products of people with abhorrent views. Projects can be forked, alternatives can be built, people can leave the bigots behind.
@monster @joojmachine @reflex @thibaultmol To makes things clear, with the direction that AI is going and the absolute destruction of office jobs that's bound to happen over the next 30 or so years I am a big supporter of UBI
@reflex @monster @joojmachine @thibaultmol Absolutely, please don't associate with people you don't want to associate with, it's a waste of energy, the issue with forks is there has to be someone that wants to fork a project, often times a project is really complex and nobody currently involved has the skill set or willingness to develop it.
@monster @joojmachine @reflex @thibaultmol I think it's fine to filter out whoever you want from your community and your personal bubble, but in the same vein there are communities out there that you don't want to get involved with either, this is not just a Hyprland thing, there's a lot of crazies involved in suckless for example
@monster @joojmachine @reflex @thibaultmol At the end of the day it's just all people talking on the internet, when someone actually does something in the real world expect me to tear it apart
@monster @joojmachine @reflex @thibaultmol I'm aware of the mental damage aspect, I get hundreds of people saying all manner of things to me everyday, some postive, some negative, but that's easier to solve than someone coming up to you and punching you in the face. Enjoy your sleep, I hope you feel the same way.
@reflex @monster @joojmachine @thibaultmol Thoughts and prayers are a waste but if somebody feels like they're being persecuted for there beliefs when they personally haven't done anything that doesn't help the situation either. You can only deredicalize people by meeting them where they are and then overtime smoothen out the problems

The Unspoken Racial Politics of ‘Fast Car’ at the Grammys. “However lovely, Chapman’s and Combs’s performance ties too neat a bow on years of conflict within country music over who gets to play with the genre’s big boys.” kottke.org/24/02/the-unspoken-…
This is heartbreaking. The US government will continue to send miltary aid to Israel, but they have cut funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. These are the people who are ensuring food and medical aid are getting to the Palestinian refugees. We are amplifying the tragedy of Israel/Palestine. Peace will not be found under these circumstances, and this undermines peace in other countries as well.
Is Israel changing course following the recent ruling by the International Court of Justice? It appears not, and that poses risks for the international community, including Canada.
Valve released a new update to Proton Experimental for Steam Deck and Desktop Linux, bringing in some fixes for various games. Here's what you need to know.
"Being able to say, ‘wherever you get your podcasts’ is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience." anildash.com/2024/02/06/wherev…
Looks like #Caturday came early last week. Did you hear that Meta is removing politics from Instagram and Threads? Now can we make Mastodon more political and viral-friendly? I'm still missing quote-tweets, and live feed reach.
A bit of an oversight in the Steam Client is that their newer Controller info panels that appear before a game launches couldn't be dismissed with a controller - but now they can.
Interesting new concepts enabled on Farcaster, the crypto social network, through their 'frames' architecture: coindesk.com/tech/2024/02/07/f…..
"So what's been great about it is developers, even within this really simple canvas, have had just tremendous creativity. And what's been great for users is it just meets them where they are. So developers now get users, and users get actual delightful, interesting experiences right in their feed."
The decentralized social network Farcaster is enjoying a breakout after last week's introduction of "Frames" – a new feature that could attract attention from developers and, eventually, mainstream users.

I'm genuinely surprised to see that plants have double the biomass of bacteria, since the latter would have been my bet for the top spot. I also would have guessed more terrestrial arthropods, but I guess we should be lucky that Earth no longer has high enough oxygen concentrations for those eagle-sized dragonflies and lizard-sized centipedes.
all those stickers, skins etc can get to f*** but Arms Race might just get me to try CS again after several months. (just to see that it is full of cheaters of course)
Well, that was a bit of a surprise. Valve has once again put up a Lunar New Year Sale, even though they previously announced they wouldn't be doing one.
Other positive things are OSS Remakes of other Games of the HL Universe wich use Black Mesa's Engine. One of them is the "Blue Shift" Remake, wich I can regard to every Fan of the series. The last Chapter will come out this summer.
I asked this new ‘AI UI design tool' startup to make me a pro iPhone camera app UI and it literally calls itself Halide in its Settings UI without any prompting from me. uhhh...

@Deb Zaccaro-Rojas When we brought Moki home, we discovered she had ringworm. So, we had to clean our new kitten everyday--as well as everything she touched. She was pretty patient!
@Deb Zaccaro-Rojas Aw, these things happen. I grew up in part in farm country. Ringworm gets into the soil and there's not much you can do about it but medicate and clean. Moki came from a caring breeder--who lived on a farm.
