I’m responding to the literal words you said that were inaccurate. Cheers.

It is not standard workflow in git to change the commit history for a branch on the remote. You have to use --force, and the next time someone pulls they also have to --force their any local tracking branch to follow the remote. Every git guide on the internet warns against pushing a rebase for this reason.

Locally you can do whatever. I’m not familiar with Mercurial, but I assume it must work the same as git: I can do whatever I want locally, and only what I push matters. And when I’m doing stupid stuff locally as I organize my changes, rebase is handy.

Afaik this is basically what the NSA’s Prism is.

Surprised no one has mentioned OBS. I don’t use it for streaming, but afaik it’s one of the more popular options for that. So it’s really cool that not only is it available for linux, but it’s open source and works great. I’m sure every linux user has had audio, general hardware, or GPU acceleration issues at some point, but OBS is seamless in my experience. Pretty cool to see a piece of software live at the crossroads of all that and get it right.

I don’t know why people use dishwashers. It’s in the kitchen. A lawn mower is a no brainer, yet people still use dishwashers??

It’s math principle. But it assumes the massively oversimplified scenario that you’re pairing up groups A and B in basically one go. This is nowhere near reflective of reality.

As for your description…how do I put this delicately…I think you’re overthinking it. I wish you well, bud, I really do.

Mint is Debian based. Mullvad supports debian.

Hah I’ve never heard the Pigeon Hole Principle applied to infidelity. Pecker Hole Principle?

Note that they give you a different ISO when you choose AMD vs Nvidia on the bazzite website. So when you do the reinstall, make sure to grab the ISO for AMD.

gparted is a straightforward partition editing tool, in case you’re not aware, OP.

I’m convinced 90% of them have never run either and just like to complain about stuff.

Yeah, but I’m assuming there are many gains to be had if your compression method doesn’t need to be stream decoded for real time playback.

They would probably compress pretty well, I imagine.

i prefer google maps yet i still don’t want google and make do with OSM

Do you see the important difference between your example of preference and mine? My preference is a specific set of features, yours is a specific product.

fork it

Hah, I felt I already poked a dozen holes in that position. If you’d like to actually back up your position, I welcome it.

and an active discord

You keep bringing up their discord like that’s relevant to me. It’s not.

im going to overlook the problematic maintainer im going to give clout to

Yeah, I’m fully convinced you didn’t read my previous comment. For the record, I’m not downvoting you because I disagree with you, I think it’s valid to criticize others in the community for their behaviour, and I respect that. I’m going to downvote you because you’re not contributing to the discussion.

I agree they’re restrictive and arbitrary reasons and they’re also the reasons every single hyprland user has for chosing it. You have a different set of arbitrary reasons for setting your system up the way you like. It’s called a “preference”.

In order to fulfill this preference, is it ok for me to fork hyprland and call it something else? Or do I need to rewrite hyprland’s functionality from scratch and pretend it was all my idea? Can I reference hyprland during the rewrite or does it need to be clean room? Should i make a fork available for people who disapprove of the hyprland devs? But what if I’m not a good enough person? Oof, just noticing, i forgot to check the ideologies of each maintainer of the thousands of packages in my system.

I think it’s possible that the boycott idea makes more sense in a capitalist setting than a communist one. The reason we stop supporting JK Rowling or Chick-Fil-A is because being a customer directly translates to their success and thus the success of their ideology. But no one is making a profit from developing and maintaining a Linux package. In fact, typically the more people use your package, the more thankless work falls on you.

I’m simply interested in having control over my PC, and the FOSS community exists to exchange learnings and code to enable each other to do that. And like all of science throughout history, there are problematic people who contribute useful ideas, and I think we would be cutting off our own noses to reject those ideas just because they come from people we otherwise disagree with.

Have you you tried stealing the person’s identity? Seems like that’s what the bank is asking for.

What other well supported wayland tiled window managers are out there with smooth animations? I would check them out for sure, but I only know about hyprland.

Heh, I’m probably in the minority, but I like the idea of different windows “modes”. I’ve long wanted msft to make versions of windows for different users rather than a one-size-fits-all product. I just wanted it because I’m a power user who wanted something more stripped down and configurable, not a boomer who wants something that won’t act as a conduit between my ignorance and scammers.

But it’s cool, they can do whatever they want with windows now, they’ve made it clear they don’t want me as a user.

Ah, like a “stable” mode? Honestly it makes sense from a user support perspective. More locked down, more predictable, easier to secure. In the same way that you can’t hack a brick, and similarly useful.
