    While hyprland is really nice, it is made by a transphobe and a large part of the community is also. Switch to something else there are a lot of good alternatives. Kind of a protest against him.

        yeah if its a good program you can use it, even if it’s made by horrible people

        one example is templeos. everyone likes it, even if the guy who made it was an asshole

        though hyprland is different since you can donate, but like you said, you can just not donate to them!

        also nice name and pfp

          TempleOS is a marvel in many ways, but it’s not particularly useful to any normal person. I wouldn’t even say that Terry Davis was an asshole, because it feels wrong to hold a paranoid schizophrenic responsible for his manic episodes.

      Pretty sure the lead lemmy dev has said some transphobic things as well. They’re a major tankie at least.

      Thanks for the heads up, but I’m browsing lemmy on a device that is produced at least in part by slave labor somewhere along the logistics chain. At some point I think you just have to disengage from developer drama.

        Fair take. Still i try to at least somewhat distance myself from people who want to murder my friends and family… sometimes youre forced to used somethi g you dont want to. Still with linux ricing it is a bit hypocritical to say that you want to use the easiest option as ricing is literally taking the hard path. Just use kde or gnome then. Also, hate the transphobes and not the people who use the software they make, important note.

          i guess “asshole” fits

          i know you probably weren’t looking for a swearword, but…well…if it fits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          and let’s be real…the people you’re referring to tend to be ignorant by choice, offensive, and generally unpleasant…
