First it’s “biden would never do that, that was the republicans!!!” But now it’s “based Biden breaking up cringe strikes done by the greedy railroad workers”.
Again, literally told everyone that Biden is unambiguously better than anything the Republicans could offer up. But no, telling people to vote Democrat isn’t enough, I also have to be deepthroating Biden’s cock or I’m a trump supporter.
Man, you’re never beating the shitlib allegations. This is the exact kind of thinking I was talking about in my original comment. Good luck with that.
Trumpist detected
you guys are really obvious to spot
Are you being serious right now? If you are, you’re about as good at spotting trumpists as transvestigators are at spotting trans people. Am I an “obvious trumpist” when I comment “based”, too? Or when I was literally saying people should vote for Democrats and calling Republicans fascist (they are) just a couple comments ago? This is silly.
Maybe I should say shitlib detected cause that’s what this is looking like lmao
No, XWayland on Hyprland (and wlroots in general) has major issues with NVIDIA. My understanding is that it should be fine for Wayland apps, but if you need gaming then you’ll need to go somewhere else. Gaming on GNOME Wayland was fine for me when I still had used an NVIDIA card, I imagine Plasma Wayland isn’t too different.
NVIDIA has improved a ton in the last year and a half. It was terrible before like two years ago, but now it’s getting close to on par, especially on xorg it’s better than AMD a lot of the time even. I mean, just a couple weeks ago AMD fucking broke their GPU modules in the kernel, so anyone like me that uses AMD graphics on Arch has to use an older kernel until the fix reaches stable in like a month.
When I was using Plasma, I actually preferred to put the app widget (I forget what it’s called, it’s what you have on your dock) in the upper-left corner, and have it show each window on only the current desktop with titles. That way it was consistent to use super + a number key to switch between windows.
But yeah, it’s pretty, and it’s always nice to have a desktop theme matching the nvim theme. Have you tried setting nvim and konsole to be transparent? I think it looks better that way.
Maybe I’ll go back when Plasma 6 comes out, there are some interesting things they have that could pull me away from GNOME. GNOME’s activities overview along with the tiling assistant extension are just plain better than anything Plasma has from what I’ve seen, but Plasma easily has the better app suite, better fractional scaling support etc, and GNOME devs being pissy about supporting objectively good things like server side decorations makes their app ecosystem more closed off than I’d prefer.
Oh, so the Republicans broke up the rail strike but the Democrats didn’t? First I’m hearing of it.
Not to mention, I’m talking about how he failed us. If he had a way forward to stop Republicans from fucking our shit up and then folded over, that’s failing us. Not to mention the shit that Democrats get up to on the state level when they have control, where they pass rampant anti-homeless and anti-worker policies themselves.
You sound like a dupe right now. Sure hope you aren’t letting the SPD cuck you like the Democrats are cucking the people that buy into their narrative.
Yeah. Whenever this is pointed out I see people saying “oh so you DON’T think it should be cool not to be a bigot? Nice political strategy there”, and completely missing the point. It’s already not cool to be a bigot, and communities like this one are already reinforcing that with the trans-positive memes. On the whole, so is media made by trans people, and many other things.
So by denying this when they say that, they’re implying that “being cool” means even more than that. The implication is that trans people need to be conciliatory and open up their spaces to people that want them dead, and that when they “critique” us we should just sit there and take it but when we critique them it’s “thought policing”.
It’s a completely ridiculous ask, not to mention cowardly that they’ll wrap it behind implication rather than just say it to our faces.
Look, Biden is unambiguously better than anything the Republicans are offering, and everyone should vote for him in 2024.
But he’s failed us so many times now. He broke the railroad strike, he let the Republicans push him around on the budget when the Dems could have passed it back in December when they still had a majority, he let student loan forgiveness fall through, the Dems didn’t codify abortion rights when they had the chance (they had a LOT of chances), and while it’s good that Dems have actually been defending gay marriage on a national level, they did very little to protect trans rights on a federal level when they had the chance.
So yeah, vote for Biden because that’s most likely to lead to the best outcome as far as voting goes. But don’t buy into this electorialist lie that we have to back Democrats on everything they do, and that we shouldn’t criticize them when they fuck up and flounder in the face of fascists in the Republican party. Don’t buy in to the lie that the left is at fault for Republican wins because they critiqued the Democrats. There’s more to political action than voting.
If you wanna use hyprland though, and you’ve never used Linux before, that’s gonna take more than a weekend. If you want a highly customizable desktop that you can still do over the weekend I’d highly recommend starting with KDE Plasma, and going with Fedora as a distro if you don’t want to have too much grief with the install (though if you want an easy to install version of Arch, which will probably include some terminal usage for installing apps, starting services etc, EndeavourOS is pretty great as well).
Both of these distros let you do dual booting pretty easily as well AFAIK
I’m more referring to the person that posted the comment, rather than the hypothetical partner. But yeah, I’m not saying that there aren’t boundaries that you should have in relationships, or that you shouldn’t break up with someone if they’re harassing you, I’m mostly saying that the commenter’s thought process reminds me of a closed-minded approach to relationships that I see pretty often.
I think there’s something to be said here about negotiation in relationships, cause what you want doesn’t necessarily line up with what your partner wants or is comfortable with. I see a lot of people talking like they would just avoid such relationships, but I’m not sure how possible that even is and I don’t think it really reflects the reality of relationships.
That’s kinda the point though isn’t it?
The commenter was pointing out how they personally like boobs, and in the context of a relationship with a trans man who is dysphoric about that kind of thing it would make the relationship uncomfortable. They’re not bringing up this example to insinuate that they would harrass a partner like this, they’re bringing it up to say they wouldn’t wanna do that. I don’t think they’re saying they think it’s acceptable.
Having used both, I actually wouldn’t agree with that, at least on Arch Linux I’ve had more problems with GNOME stability-wise. I think it’s because they have a tendency to make breaking changes between releases. Maybe this wouldn’t be true for fixed-release distros, though.
Theming is already working, it just took a while for people to get their themes ported/create new themes since theming GTK4/Libadwaita apps and the 40+ shell is so different from before. But as I learned from scrolling unixporn, there’s quite a few options available now. And as for fractional scaling, there’s a spec that was recently introduced into mainline Wayland for that that GNOME is going to be implementing, though right now the spec is only compatible with QT6 and probably won’t support GTK until GTK5. I believe that spec also includes a fix similar to the one Plasma uses for XWayland apps but I might be wrong there.
