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.

Do you have a source?
Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesnβt matter
I disagree. Open source thrives on attention. Install count is like their cocaine.
Shit take.
Disregarding projects or ideas due to unrelated issues is just stupid.
yeah if its a good program you can use it, even if itβs 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
Pretty sure the lead lemmy dev has said some transphobic things as well. Theyβre a major tankie at least.
Thanks for the heads up, but Iβm 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.
Is there like a word that stands for, βI canβt be perfect so I gave up trying to be betterβ?
