Hyprland is a toxic community (drewdevault.com)

Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique...

This is a good enough reason to fork a project and establish a new community with new norms.

Hyprland is itself a fork of wlroots, a project that the author of this post created, so this has happened before and they definitely have the skills to bootstrap a new project.

Ah yeah I had it wrong. Thanks for the correction.

Yeah my mistake. Thanks for the correction.

Management is certainly a kind of labour and even a valuable one. A good manager can ensure the efficient operation of a whole organization, and a bad one can waste the efforts of whole teams and sink entire departments. No one is arguing managers and executives shouldn’t be justly compensated for their labour.

The problem comes when the compensation becomes detached from the labour. When a business produces a surplus and instead of that surplus going to the workers who produced the surplus, it goes to the investors.

Often these investors perhaps put some money into the business many years or even generations earlier, and yet are still entitled to receive cheques every quarter despite not having any role to play in producing that quarter’s surplus. How is that just?

The Wikipedia article says it’s derived from the term “rice burner” and talks about the history of the term.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner

I can say I first heard the term about 20 years ago about cars with unnecessary decals and accessories, and it definitely had a racist connotation then.

I certainly wouldn’t use the term myself and I cringe when people use it here.

SNW Musical Episode: Klingons’ Boy Band Number Was Almost an Opera (tvline.com)

Arguably one of the best moments in the SNW Musical episode subspace rhapsody was Bruce Horak Cameo as the captain of the Klingon boy band. But there is a deleted scene of the opera version that while absolutly best scene won, would be fun to see released to fans

K-Pop is best listened to in the original Klingon.

I’m still salty about them killing off Hemmer.

This is likely how this will end: some smaller studios get desperate, and they break from the pack to make a deal.

Then suddenly they can produce new shows and none of their competitors can, so all the other studios fold and agree to the deal too so they aren’t left out in the cold.

It’s how the musicians strike of 1942-1944 ended.

Can someone give me adivice on how/where to get back into star trek?

As a kid i loved watching the next generation and deep space 9 with my dad. Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on. There are like 6 kirks and I have no idea how/where to get started with watching this again.

Lower Decks does have some legacy characters as guest stars. Riker, Paris, Troi, Q, Quark, Kira and a few others all make appearances. But those are cameo type appearances and the focus of the show is on new characters.
