  • Just recently switched to Niri myself - I think the fact that Niri inherits a lot from Smithay for compositior stuff really helps. It’s the same compositor base that cosmic DE uses. Sure hyprland has HDR at present and Niri doesn’t, but I think it helps a lot to not build a compositor and a TWM at the same time. vaxry is honestly just doing way too much and it’s unsustainable and new version blow ups like this were inevitable given how big the install base has become and how huge hyprland feature set has gotten

    Idk about that, Gabe did a bunch of interviews around the time of windows 8 saying that signed app requirements and the windows store fiat that MS was trying to implement was an “existential threat” to valve and that they needed to migrate to a neutral OS as much as possible.

    I’d argue that what we’re seeing now from valve is the fruits of a 10+ year campaign to undermine windows. And MS has been digging their own trench undermining windows at the same time, making their job even easier lol

    But idk if it’s fair to call what valve is doing as “don’t worry about the competition” - I just think they (accurately) view MS as their competition instead of epic or EA or whoever is trying to do pc game stores

    In what way? Healthiness of a time standardization seems like it would be hard to validate. I personally prefer DST I’ve never considered either healthier or unhealthier. I remember hearing statistics about an abnormal number of car accidents and stuff happening the Monday after DST/ST changes. I’ve also heard some rhetoric about risk of car accidents with kids walking to bus or school being mitigated by standard time.

    I’m assuming you mean something less acute than those which are focused on immediate outcomes like death lol? The only thing health related I can think of is daylight exposure and vitamin d levels, but it seems inconsistent whether people are more likely to take advantage of extra morning sunlight or evening sunlight. Seems like it would be a wash?

    Anyway, I’m legitimately interested to know what you mean by “healthy”

    Seriously. People wonder why politics in America has become a game of Jerry Springer style antics. Then you see people that you otherwise agree with politically eat up garbage political “content” like this.

    If you’re gonna spend your time focusing on politics, at least try to avoid wasting your regurgitating their circus PR events.



  • Yeah I don’t think people realize that the biggest advantage of owning is to lock yourself into a stable housing cost. Even before it’s paid off, you lock in a more or less stable monthly housing bill. Maintenance sucks, big ticket repairs suck. But you’re always going to need somewhere to live.

    I bought a place ten years ago, and if I was renting the same house today it would be about double the mortgage. Sure, I highly doubt that doubling will happen again in another ten years. But I doubt even more that we will ever see the prices back at 2015 level.
