Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesn't matter

[-] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

I disagree. Open source thrives on attention. Install count is like their cocaine.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Install count isn't necessarily reported, and all forms of reporting that I know of on linux are opt-in

Shit take.

Disregarding projects or ideas due to unrelated issues is just stupid.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Then don't do it.

Popularity give them followers, followers give them money

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Popularity has nothing to do with install count, and nearly every distro does opt-in to show what you're running.

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.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.
