Meep :3
They/Them, also “It” when a critter I like is being cute ior affectionate about it :3 Very cute, but also weird and sometimes kinda sharp
Hates this world, hates being stuck in it. Needs rescuing, needs understanding. Not happening. Only misery and extension of said misery happening.

  • Sounds super cool :o … Am still kinda salty about M$ blocking my account and holding my copy of Minecraft (that I paid Mojang for, well before it was Microsoft’s!) hostage because they want my phone number, though. 😠

    … Also I kinda wanna know if it’s got the moddage I love about Minecraft, but am afraid to ask because I’m stuck on a laptop that can’t really run much without getting all melty 😅

    I think licensing may have something to do with it. A proprietary licence will typically prohibit decompilation so if you do it, you’re in violation of the licence. Whether that’s enforceable… Idunno. Often just writing a rule down will make people averse to testing it. Software under a non-proprietary licence probably comes with the source code to begin with, so there’s no need. This leaves a relatively small useful area for this technique, where people either don’t mind being in potential legal trouble (or just losing their licence to use a particular piece of software) or are interested in a specific few pieces of software that don’t offer source but allow sortof digging it out of the binary directly.





  • Wow, I’d no idea it was something like that. Had assumed it was some technical direction complaint where Hyprland couldn’t go where its leadership wanted because of how wlroots was being made… nooope!

    re-rewrite Okay I’ve done more looking and according to Vaxry there are technical reasons. Just… no one’s talking about them. It’s just “ooooh 🤤 wow so impressive rewriting wlroots!” and a little bit of back-and-forth over, basically, whether Hyprland’s community is full of bigots or just likes keeping its fruit cold (see: freeze peach). Very weird situation, in terms of this news. I’d expect to see discussion of the merits of this change (which, again, Vaxry did… if you go find that blog post!). 🤷

    tl;dr: Looks like Vaxry wanted to replace wlroots for tech reasons and does not interact with hunams well. Hyprland community probably crap, probably why FreeDesktop kicked him. 🤷

    wanders off very shruggily



  • Thankies :3 It’s definitely cute ;P

    I mostly subscribe to less fun-hating sorts of places so I didn’t think anything of cuting a lil tiny bit 🤷 I guess we’ve gotta all be sooooper cereal around here or people get upset for reasons 😅 🥣 I’ll just assume it’s because all of those people are techbros who’ve been bitten by mice and can’t even bring themselves to talk about it.
