"We will not do business with anyone who does not recognize and embody these truths."On September 17, 2023, Drew DeVault published a hit piece against Hyprland, claiming it is "toxic" because people in its Discord server hold wrongthink opinions.
Lol I credited you just for the quotation alone and didn't realize it was meant to be a shitpost. I'll keep it in though.
Yeah but also cops are bad and ACAB so... um... I'm having trouble comprehending his extremist ideology.
All cops are bastards because all cops are not him.
People like this don't even fully understand what they believe in, their idea on how these ideals work is rather vague. This also applies to the ideologies they are against since he probably doesn't know that he shares more in common with all of what he hates.
Techcows are the worst because they are significantly responsible for the absolute state of the Linux desktop.
This kind of behavior is caused by being an unprincipled lunatic with an ego big enough to blot out the sun.
Maybe soon after it gets moved out of Prospering Grounds. I don't think he's salty enough against the Farms to be lurking with a sock account yet.
This seems almost eerily similar to something else I found in my research. He used to run an image hosting site named MediaCrush (a) but then shut it down in 2015 because it was losing money.
A common refrain you will often find repeated in leftist circles is "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect". Turns out that was simply yet another example of projection on their part all along, who would've thought?
I preferred gopher to the web for the first few years the web existed. The web struck me as a giant waste of bandwidth that could be better used.
I speculate that he deleted his gemini capsule because he wasn't getting validation from other users. Drew's "I'M BLOCKING U IF U HAVE EMOJIS, DON'T EXTEND THE SPEC!1!!11!1!1" dogmatics session about amfora and favicons tanked his reputation.
The irony is that Lenin had explicitly made this (somewhat obvious in reading Marx) argument nearly a century before that random dude made this quote up as one of the superior things communists/Marxists/revolutionaries/etc. know: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/oct/02.htm
Don't spoil the good name of Terry by comparing him to this subhuman filth.
About his toy language: It seems to me that the most retarded aspect of it is its standard library. It seems to be rather unprincipled in design. The website itself states that Hare is supposed to have "the 'correct number' of batteries." Those scare quotes are not mine, they were there already. It seems the language philosophy is to not have any consistent bar for standard features. You can see it has a cryptography module for the many uses of cryptographic primitives, but it doesn't have something like BLAS, which has a large number of uses as well and requires about the same amount of care to implement properly. It also exposes part of the language functionality and program parser as modules, but it doesn't go all the way and allow Hare programs to compile new functions and execute them, JIT-compiler-style, which would be interesting. Unfortunately, Hare is completely uninteresting. The module listing on the website also seems to oddly mirror the Python standard library.
I am very glad that the GNU/Linux community does it's best to successfully deter me from ever switching to Linux. Not only is their software as stable and reliable as Windows Me, they'll also have zero inhibitions to sabotage it because of ideological reasons. Might as well daily drive a car with a planted remotely controlled bomb.
