How did he watch all of "Coraline" without internalizing how to pronounce "Coraline"? Fascinating, as always.

it's a subtle reference to the other characters who don't pay any attention when she corrects their pronunciation of "caroline"
tl note: I did not watch the movie, this happens in the book
 
Just a shot in the dark. Have you checked if you have your settings in the browser you use, set up to allow loading pages in the background, and not set up to save memory?

Might not the the issue. But doesn't hurt to check imo. Also it could be the issue, but only part of it, along with shit internet speed

OK here is a write up I did to help cover some parts of Linux, and some more context on the Drew Devault, Sway, and Hyprland thing. I have limited time so it's a bit rushed. But to cover everything it needed a good bit of detail.

First some shilling for linux. Skip if you don't care at all.

The reason why this matters, and I think its important even if you don't use linux, or ever plan to. Linux provides an alternative to Apple, and Microsoft(obviously). If you care about your privacy, about things like freedom of speech. If you don't like being tracked by everything you use. Linux (or BSD, which is a lot less user friendly) is the only actual option.

To me Linux is a lot like choosing to use Rumble instead of Youtube, because google is a shitty company, with shit business practices, that makes the Internet worse for everyone else. Even though choosing to not use youtube can take a little more work. You do get more freedom elsewhere.

People like Drew, and the members ethical source movement, are a real threat to free software. And if you don't know free software has nothing to do with money, free software can be paid, its free as in freedom.

Ethical source software believes that people, like us who post on this site, shouldn't have the right to use this software, that only people that the consider "ethical" should be allowed to take part in it. Which is the complete opposite of what free and open source software is all about.

So you have those people wanting to ruin open source. Then you have Microsoft and companies they have deals with that purposefully make sure that Linux doesn't have support or stays incompatible with their software, and hardware (in some cases) on the other side. Having to deal with this alone is enough without having. Extreme leftists, and troons trying to ruin FOSS like they ruin everything.

This is the main portion of this write up. To be clear, to use linux you don't actually need to know most of this stuff. You mainly need to know, linux is the kernel. Distros are a bunch of tools packaged with the linux kernel, that let you install a desktop on top of it, and use it like any other operating system. And even actually understanding that isn't really necessary. I've given someone I knew a laptop I didn't want with a fresh install of linux mint to have. They could use it just fine while being a complete boomer with tech.

Basically a lot of this is a technical explanation, to describe what Drew worked on.

So to understand this stuff you need to understand how linux works. I'm not going to lay out every single thing here. I just want to give some of the very basics. Because if you have used Windows, or Apple your whole life you will never have had to think about a lot of this stuff. Even though you may have interacted with some parts of this stuff without realizing it. You just get no choice in what you get, on those platforms so there is no point in thinking about it there.

With Linux to use the computer as we normally do in the modern era you need a GUI. A Graphical User Interface. Thats the thing that displays the programs we use and interact with. Like web browsers, text editors, video players etc. In order to have a GUI, and not just a TTY, which is basically just a plain text console like (what you think about when you see msdos). We use a display server. Or at least this is how it was done for decades. The version of that we used up until recently was called X11, or xorg.

Right now linux is in a transition period from the old x11 display server to a new display server called Wayland which was mentioned with Devault. Some things are getting modernized, some things are done completely differently than before, parts of it are getting standardized still. Because Linux as a whole is going to be moving to this new way of doing things. There is a lot of discussion being done around it, a lot of things being argued about. In order to decide exactly how protocols are going to be implemented, and used. So these things need to be able to work for the big projects in Linux, and the features users want. If no one agrees one what is needed that makes developing on it a bit of a nightmare. There are quite a few parts of Wayland that are still being decided, and developed.

There is a ton more I could talk about with Wayland, and explain what it does, but that isn't super important for this. Just know its updated from X11, and it does things differently.

So you have that display server. Using that, you can launch your desktop environment. This is really what you think about when you think of how an operating system works. At least most people do. For windows this is the actual UI you interact with. Same for apple windows etc. For linux instead of just having a default desktop that is used by everyone. We have tons of them. Some are completely full featured,to the same extent or more than Windows. While some are rigid in what you can do like Apple's. Then some are super light weight, and are meant to be recourse friendly. Some you can mix and match parts to make it your own.

One part of this is the window manager which I metioned in my last comment. Its what controls window placment and any decoration around them. One option you have for Linux is using just the window manager, with no other desktop components out of the box. This is the most minimal you can get while still having a graphical interface, and still be usable. If you use one of these you can literally build up everything from scratch, and have a UI that you configure yourself with only things you want.

They can also do some interesting things you wouldn't normally get from a classic window management system like windows. Like having them tile themselves on the screen as they are opened. So the windows never overlap. These are called a tiling window manager. Usually almost everything is done with the keyboard on these through keybindings the user sets up, opening programs, moving windows closing them. Using different virtual workspaces.

Then with the window manager, you can use another program called an compositor. This is use to changed how the windows and other aspects of the screen are rendered. You can mess with refresh rate if you want, change window transparenecy, effects, blurring, transitons etc.

Normally on the old X11 display server the way things were set up, is you have a window manager, then install a seperate compositor to run along with it.

That brings things to wayland, and wayland compositors. Because of the way wayland works and some of the current complexities involved. Window managers for it are expected to write their own compositor implementation along with the window manager. Getting into why this is how its done on Wayland I think is a bit more technical than this explanation needs to be.

The main thing you need to know, is that these are called wayland compositors because they are both a window manager, and a compositor. Basically a wayland compositor almosts acts as its own display server window manager, and compositor. Rather than having the x11 display server, then a window manager, then having a compositor that runs for the window manager.

All this stuff does make writing a window manager for wayland a lot more work than it was for x11. Which is why people have been developing libraries, and protocols that can be reused by other window managers in the future to reduce duplication of work needing to be done. One instance of this is wlroot. This is used by Sway window manager. Which finally brings up to Drew Devault.

He made what was at one point the most popular wayland compositor. It uses the wlroots proptocols, and he has done work with wayland as a whole, and a lot for wlroots. His compositor like I mentioned is just a copy of the i3 window manager, but for wayland.

Vaxry also made a wlroots compositor, did a lot of work for wlroots protocols. He ended up developing what is at this point the most feature rich wayland compositor, which I mentioned before is now the most popular one available. Which coincidentally is when Drew decided he had a problem with Vaxry.

Something about Vaxry, just so people keep expectations in line. He is an anime enjoyer, which to me automatically takes points off him for me, and I wouldn't expect him to be completely based. But compared to people like Drew, he is 1000x better imo. And he didn't deserve to have the troon gorillas sent after him by a jealous faggot.


heres where he is actually banned


also I showed him responding to Drew, who is the reason this whole thing started in my origional post. Drew wrote his own post titled "Hyprland is a toxic community" which ended up leading down this road. Just for some extra context.

this is him talking about getting banned after the drew devault situation, from freedesktop for code of conduct violations. So besides having to deal with having the troons hate him, he can no longer have his code merged into what they are doing there. Which has bigger implications for him. Because the work he does can't be a part of how things are implemented by wlroots. He ended up having to just use something else. So now its using aquamarine. IDK if he made this himself, or if its another wlroots implementation by some one else.

To be clear freedesktop and the free software foundation are two different organizations, I was incorrect when I mentioned it was the FSF in my first comment. I couldn't remember which banned him.

Anyway. any of the other stuff about drew devault being a piece of shit you can find in the report on him, or just by looking at anything the guy has ever done.

I completely understand anyone not caring enough to read all of this stuff. If you are going to only read a little the bottom one I think is what most people will be interested in.

And to add in again. For anyone that wants to try Linux at some point. You really don't need to know most of that technical stuff. Especially at this point. It's come a long way as far as just being able to use it right away. Especially if you check to make sure hardware works right away.

Josh mentioned that pedos are "obsessed with purity", I would like to make the argument that normies "neglection of purity" is what caused pedos to have such a free pass to indulge on their pedo tendencies (they get off destroying people) because in a liberal state, they don't value purity and hence "nothing that was lost" in their head. Good men value purity, and since they do that they would be more protective of the young, because it's a big thing to lose (for them). But since most people are doing this "cuck cope" a.k.a "it's all sexual liberty" meme, they just let shit happen.

So if a man values purity, is he a pedo? I would argue it's the exact opposite. Because everyone who has neglected purity have had more pedo tendencies or are at least guilty of accepting it.
