The whole open source community loves Milkshake Laptops, a lovely laptop company that has ethical values! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the laptop company stans fascists
context: https://lemmy.world/post/37098894
so Hyprland is made by Facist, is this correct? never heard of that, but i wanted to use it at some point, guess i wont be doing that then, good to know
from what i’ve seen, hyprland’s community is highly toxic and rife with fascists. is the maintainer a fascist? idk, but you know what they say about nazi bars
the other project framework is under fire for supporting, omarchy, is proudly made by DHH, who is a known far-right racist. this one is not up for debate
Damn it. I was really excited to use Omarchy for my next laptop. Glad I saw this before I made the switch :/
I don’t know who the creator is, but when I saw that in promotional materials for the distro, he uses Grok’s website and there is even dedicated Grok’s shortcut in the distro. I was like, I’m 89% sure this guy is maga nutjob.
That’s why I’m concerned about the ladybird browser, because in the monthly updates, the guy almost always goes to the Grog’s website.
What is with fascists and unintuitive keyboard-heavy interfaces?
I never had contact with this part of the hyprland community. I had quiet son in dep discussions with maintainers and a currently 5k lines deep in, in removing technical depts from the codebase.
I never had anything but pleasent communications.
I would love to see some examples (and if someone uses the terms highly toxic and rife with fascist I expect a lot examples) of this.
Be aware, as a German, I am highly sensitive on the missuse of the term fascist. For example many use the term fascist to describe Trump. That is not true. Trump is straight out a fucking Neo Nazi
can you explain that distinction? I was under the impression that neo nazis were fascists.
Yes they are. It is just more precise. Fascism itself is not inherently racist or has some kind of master race. Neo Nazis do.
And of course calling him a fascist is not inherently false. But just leaves out 80% of it
Eh I would point out that fascism doesn’t need to be racist to be evil, AND that there’s a reason why fascism is the preferred form of government for racists.
So, like, you’re not technically wrong but I think the point you’re making is bordering on moot.
Fascism is bad. Racism is bad. Most racists are fascists. Many fascists are racists.
The venn diagram of fascists and bigots of one type or another is damn close to a perfect circle
It was ja joke. Someone who is very particular about the meaning of words is sometimes called a “word Nazi” but it should be “word fascist”. Tried to play on it and forgotten that nobody outside Germany has any association with this m)
What, fascism is definitely inherently racist. Everything boils down to people with certain qualities are more fit to rule and should be the ones filling the community.
Nope, sry to be a little bit picky here but the definition of a Nazi is more or less “rassist fascist”. But bot vice versa. Have for example a look atBrazilians integralism. Or Salazar’s regime in Portugal .
If you weaken those definitions you will trivialize what Nazis did. It is so so so much worse then “simple facism”, pleas excuse this awful term in lack of any better
they’re only fascist if they come from the fasces region of italy, otherwise its neo nazi.
No it’s sparkling supremacists
not this again
Sorry but this is just stupid. Even for 196, where we all go after putting out last brain cells in the jar on the nightstand.
Um, it’s obviously a joke. It’s a play on common gatekeeping around champagne the beverage technically only being called champagne if it comes from Champagne, Italy.
The Champagne region is in France.
Obviously? As obviously as my butchered Nazi/facist Joke ;) now I see it. Thx
this is the first i’m hearing about it and i’m a year or more into using hyprland, which is frustrating. i tend to avoid discord communities in favor of just reading documentation though.
Impossible to tell. Not a good person for sure, but fascist, probably not. The precipitating event happened on the Hyprland discord, which was unmoderated at the time. Someone made transphobic remarks. Drew DeVault (a big-mouthed idealist with extreme opinions and thin skin) kicked Hyprland out of the Freedesktop project for this, and wrote a wordy blog post criticising the community. Then, because media literacy is fucking dead, people who already agreed with DeVault’s views took it at face value and ran with it to chase the Woozle.
The truth is somewhere between the extremes, and if that one article that indirectly refers to the incident is enough for you to make such a conclusion… you and DeVault would get along just fine.
(edit) I haven’t used Hyprland for over a year and have been out of the loop, this info might be outdated.
This guy is full of shit. He’s a Lemmy.world mod and had to lock the meme about this because it wasn’t lining up with his world view and he’s being down voted.
He’s not arguing in good faith. Just desperate. 🤡
this comment undermines what happened as “someone made transphobic remarks” when there was more than “someone” and more than “transphobia” (not that just one person saying transphobic bs makes it not bad, but saying its a single incident and not a repeated common thread in that community is undermines at the very least).
