I really wanted to like hyprland so much. Tiling window managers are just too clunky for me.

iloverocks ,

If you want to try you also can use hyprland as a stacking window compositor it is really clean. The one thing I would say is clunky is the configuration around hyprland xdg-desktop-portals are just a mess

Jarmer , to unixporn in [Hyprland] My current Hyprland Arch linux setup

How difficult was it getting hyperland up and running? I’d be interested in trying it, but the faq’s alone scare me away lol.

@meurglys@lemmy.ml avatar

Easier than I thought it was going to be, but I had a ton of experience with various window managers under Xorg. The difference comes in swapping out certain tools for their wayland counterparts. Example using wofi or fuzzel, instead of rofi, imv, instead of feh, grim, instead of scrot, swaybg or hyprpaper, instead of nitrogen, mako, instead of dunst. The alternatives are there, you just have to make the necessary small adjustments.

If you want to try Hyprland check out this guy’s video and config files. You can get a working and usable setup very easily.

For me, Hyprland, and wayland are the way forward. There’s no going back to X11. Grins

You also can use swww it also support animations and gifs

That’s an old laptop running some fresh new software! Nice :D

@meurglys@lemmy.ml avatar

Indeed, and it runs great on this old machine. I recently made the switch to Wayland from X11 wms like spectrwm and herbstluftwm. The difference is like that old movie, “The Wizard of OZ”, where everything goes from being in B&W, to suddenly technocolor. ;-P

kitonthenet , to memes in Learn from your mistakes

it's bullshit that that's what got her job pulled tho.

thrawn ,

The person she told that to, Homer Hickam, had no say in the firing, expressed disappointment after, and helped her get another job after (though I do not recall if it was successful). In an era where companies are increasingly sensitive about what employees post online, she had it much much better than just about anyone else in the world fired for the same thing at least.

And really… perhaps I’m old fashioned, but posting stuff like that in the same tweet as your NASA offer was pretty poorly thought out. NASA doesn’t feel like the type of organization that wants its employees associated with messaging like that.

_number8_ ,

i mean so? it’s on an anonymous twitter account; it could easily be some random loon. they didn’t have to track her down

rog ,

They obviously knew her twitter prior to offering the job and were actively monitoring it. The NASA guy doesnt just go around telling people to watch their language in tweets. They were keeping an eye on them, and they fucked up.

007v2 ,

Right, it clearly wasn’t anonymous if someone knew who she was to fire here. That previous comment wasn’t thought through lol

Melody ,

While I’m usually all for that sort of consequence to happen to someone who is legitimately being gross or creepy; I don’t think they should’ve actually fired her. Legitimately it should’ve been a stern warning and a request to apologize for the statement at worst.

Do I think it was a good idea to tweet it? Of course not. Was it unprofessional? Probably. I guess it depends on if the tweet or statement was made IRL or on Twitter via an alternate account.

EhList ,
@EhList@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah if they work for NASA we should be able to presume they are intelligent enough to know not to do this.

ReakDuck ,

Intelligence is not really one thing. Even if the person was very intellegent, emotions play a high role in behaviour too

visak ,

And it was positive emotion. It was joy for getting the job and the “suck my dick” comment I read as “let me have this”. And I’m an old dude.

Was it professional or a wise idea? No, but it’d like an astronaut on their first space walk saying “Holy fuck this is amazing.”

kitonthenet ,

just about anyone else in the world fired for the same thing at least.

yes thank u that's the thing I think is bullshit

Wait, you have to pay for Sync?

s1ndr0m3 ,

No. But you have to pay for ad-free. The ultra subscription service is more expensive than it was under reddit Sync. I’m hoping the prices will go down as the app gets more popular. I’m guessing the dev is trying to make up for the lost revenue from shutting down the reddit app.

Jdreben ,
@Jdreben@mastodon.world avatar

@s1ndr0m3 @Ryan213 And displaying no faith in it being a successful business model at a reasonable price.

s1ndr0m3 ,

I use sync and love it. I used sync for reddit and paid the pro and the ultra subscription. I don’t have a problem with the app. I was just clarifying what the payment options were for. I don’t know how expensive it is to run an app or the server for the ultra features.

Ryan213 ,
@Ryan213@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, OK. I’m perfectly happy with Connect. Was just curious.

Clikes ,

I downloaded Sync two days ago and I still haven’t seen an ad. I’m not sure where they are.

MrGerrit ,

There is a one time payment of about $20 (price may vary per region) that will stop ads and trackers will be turned off.

Bagou01 ,
@Bagou01@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yes I owned sync pro but bought it so long ago I didn’t remember paying so much, thanks for confirming it’s really more expensive under lemmy.

Coehl , (edited )
@Coehl@programming.dev avatar

I have most of the clients installed and sync is one. Honestly never paid a cent, never saw an ad, never felt compelled to pay for anything.

I sympathize with those concerned about its data tracking, which is supposed to only be there for the limited ad revenue. But the dev asking for payments for features? It’s nonsense to get up in arms about that.

You should be able to make a living off of development skills as long as it’s done ethically.

Edit: hey I am an idiot. I forgot that I set my phone’s dns to an ad blocker one. Without it, perhaps I would hate sync, lol.

kenbw2 ,

Yea I have no beef with the dev charging. People need money

Having to accept that horrible Privacy Policy though, even if I do pay. No thanks

Coehl ,
@Coehl@programming.dev avatar

See that is a position I can understand. But that’s not the position getting the air time on lemmy, unfortunately.

nostradiel , to memes in Priorities!
@nostradiel@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly why would I pay so much when I can use Summit for free? I don’t mind supporting developers but 20$ is quite pricy. And the other price option are imho nuts. I paid for pro version of Boost for Reddit 4$, that’s reasonable, maybe upto 10$. It’s just an app for viewing content. It’s not groundbreaking program or game… And if you multiple the price x sales, the developers will make money anyway.

LucyLastic , to technology in I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate interchangable batteries

My Garmin Montana GPS uses 3 AA batteries and it’s really handy if you’re in an area without mains electricity since carrying a an extra set (or even buying alcalines in a pinch) will get you going again!

dandroid , to technology in I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate interchangable batteries

The best part is that these batteries don’t leak and destroy your devices like alkaline batteries.

Just for curiosity, why don’t you use qBittorrent

lukini , (edited )
@lukini@beehaw.org avatar

I actually have it installed and tried switching years ago, but moving hundreds of torrents was super annoying and I just kinda forgot. Is there a batch torrent add now?

FYI it’s 2.2.1 and only used on private trackers.

Edit: Yes, batch add is supported now. Also, I forgot about an annoying bug that I think also stopped me. The old version wouldn’t correctly change language. Mine was stuck on Japanese when I’d prefer English and a bug in the program prevented it from switching over fully. It’s fixed in the newest version. I’ll look into switching over again.
