Folks who want to view the video using a third party client could always just copy and paste the link, so I don’t see any problem

The artwork they did for that billboard is sick

Love Inkscape, using it for 15+ years.

I sure hope they fixed the bug from the last version where it would crash if you had a drawing tablet plugged in while opening the app. That has been a huge nuisance for the last few months.

Using OSS in your product and giving the OSS devs resources to improve their software, instead of trying to take over their project? Did Valve not get the memo that big tech companies are supposed to be evil?? Oh right, they have a monopoly on video game distribution and all of their products rely on DRM.

Just share the information that other people need to know and don’t share things they don’t need to know. Most people on LinkedIn have a worksona anyway, they’re not sharing their personal life much

Look at the Steam Deck as an example:

• Linux is preinstalled
• Integrated hardware and software
• Immutable OS that is very hard to bork
• UI is Windows-like which is familiar to the target market
• Good value for the price
• Offered by a well-known and well-liked brand
• Marketed and advertised to the target market

We need more Linux devices like this to gain market share.

Some of my fav quotes:

“Ads in an operating system that you’ve paid for from a company that owns ridiculous amounts of money is so offensive.”

“data, it’s like the new gold to people”

“I got the confidence to really jump into Linux after the Steam Deck.”

[regarding the terminal] “You just see text going across the screen, they’re working at lightning speeds.”

“I’m kissing convenience goodbye, I just want control.”

I’ll quote Vaxry from his blog:

“Obviously, the fact that I am banned from contributing to Freedesktop - and by extension wlroots, is another big factor, and probably the one that finally tipped the scales, because I am no longer allowed to participate in discussion or contribute code to wlroots.”

“I definitely am not a fan of how seemingly weak people online, especially teenagers, have become. Words are just words. Someone calling another person a “retard” shouldn’t really be a big deal.”

"I said:

if I run a discord server around cultivating tomatoes, I should not exclude people based on their political beliefs, unless they use my discord server to spread those views. which means even if they are literally adolf hitler, I shouldn’t care, as long as they don’t post about gassing people on my server

that is inclusivity

Which I definitely stand by."

Fair enough

In other words, Vaxry is so unwilling to compromise or learn from others that he would rather isolate his project from the broader FOSS community. That says a lot about him and the people who support him, especially since this conflict with freedesktop.org started over Vaxry condoning hateful trolling of trans people within the Hyprland community.

This is a problem for me as a Hyprland user because if I share some rice I made or make suggestions for other users, I’m leading people into a community that may be actively hateful towards them. It utterly extinguishes any enthusiasm I have for the project. I like the software but I’d rather be part of a project and a community that I can feel good and excited about. Maybe time to find a new tiling Wayland compositor.

I think participating in communities which are centered around discussion of open source software is the ideal solution. That could be on Lemmy, Mastodon, GitHub, Reddit, Discord, wherever devs and users congregate (and, whatever platforms you find tolerable). I think the information you are seeking is too varied and in some cases subjective to be captured and parsed by an automated tool. And it would be great if you could help others by posting in those communities about changes that you are unhappy with, so others can make informed decisions.
