Employees: We like working in the same homes where we sleep. There's no commute, it's very convenient.
Google: Nah we need you back in the office. But we built hotel rooms here so you can still sleep in the same place you work and there's no commute.
Employees: Uh yeah that's what we already had...
Google: That'll be $99. Which you pay us. To trap you in the office we demanded you come back to.

Google’s $99 a night company hotel advertises ‘no commute’ as a perk
As Google nudges employees to work at its just-opened Bay View campus, the company hotel is advertising $99 special rates and “no commute” as a reason to stay.Umar Shakir (The Verge)

posmasc.org sounds absolutely wonderful. I'm at a place where I wouldn't benefit from it now, but I wish it existed 25 years ago.
I hope all of the men that join (cis or trans) benefit greatly.
@untitaker @TheEvilSkeleton @stacyharper my bouncer is paid but financial aid is available to those who cannot afford it, without question.
We also have a nice webchat and we developed a client for android!

Hyprland is a toxic community

Oof. Thank you for addressing this.
Had Hyprland on my long list of 'stuff I want to try out'. It went a lot further down that list now (and I'm seriously considering not trying it out at all for now).
Drew DeVault reshared this.
@staticnoisexyz @uncomfyhalomacro Nothing stops anyone from building their own kernel.
So should we make it difficult for people to use what they may need.
Aren't you being toxic here?
One could say, nothing stops anyone from not using hyprland and thus they can avoid getting hurt.
I wonder what you think about the CoC alternatives proposed on the HN thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37543779
Maybe it's enough to keep the discussion in a software community tightly on-topic, focused on our technical common ground rather than things that divide us, without explicitly invoking current hot-button culture-war topics as CoCs commonly do. So yeah, a software project community resembling a high-school boys' locker room is toxic.
Drew DeVault reshared this.
The technological decisions of the project are also highly questionable sometimes, like f.e. pushing an implementation for the workspace protocol extension to master while that is still not finalized - without vendoring it - and therefore breaking backwards- & forwards-compatibility guarantees.
The toxicity seems to common in projects / user-groups focused on eye-candy and fancy screenshots.
I am sad to hear this.... I really like hyprland as the software but I don't touch discord so I didn't know this was a thing
I agree with your sentiment at the end, that things will improve
My mom taught me that how one reacts to being told they screwed up says more about them than having not screwed up at all.
Based on that podcast clip I listened to some time ago, I'm sure as hell not using Hyprland any time soon.
Update: I'm now cautiously optimistic. I'm not against trying Hypr(land) on various computers if this pans out. 😃
I'm considering filing an issue that asks how to switch to a WM that's not associated with hateful little turds.
Vazersky's responses were just awful. I like Hyprland, but I will absolutely avoid using it or recommending it to anyone.
Guess I know what I'm doing with my Sunday morning.
Thank you for shining a light on this kind of behaviour!
Many people wouldn't really care or just shrug it off, keeping this kind of conduct "acceptable" inside of communities and society as a whole, as they'd support it through their indifference.

Well, the Chrome team is back on their bullshit.
The people that wanted to guarantee adblockers didn't work last week are deciding what bookmarks you get to keep this week.
Firefox is good. You should try it. But FFS you all need to stop using Chrome.
https://strangeobject.space/@silvermoon82/110969122337810598
Excuse me?
Google now moderates your saved bookmarks? The hell?
Morgan McMillian reshared this.
Or use a Chromium browser that rips out all the Google tracking garbage but lets you use the amazing ecosystem of Chrome plugins.
Been using Brave for years.
@shepgo Just letting you know the creator is anti-LGBTQ+ and the browser's business model is crypto.
I use Vivaldi and LibreWolf for the most part at least they're more ethical.
@joeo10 The browser has an optional business model that I’ve happily ignored for years.
The anti-LGBTQ+ complaint is basically because Brendan Eich is against same-sex marriage. Too bad for him. He donated $1,000 in 2008 to support a failed gay marriage ballot initiative.
2008. 15 years ago. Anything since?
That by itself doesn’t dissuade me from using a browser.
In #Australia, Goo' advertise #Chrome with #legacyMedia commercials.
What is remarkable is just how much these #technoFascists must spend on #advertising, to stop the press from reporting on thr abuses. A regular person will never hear about these abuses because of this #bribery.
If only we were organised with fun leaflets to print and share.
One huge problem:
All my YouTube stuff will be deleted including all the videos I uploaded.
For now I am going to erase every single password, bookmark, fill-in data, etc and keep Chrome for JUST youtube until I find a workaround because I don't have a lot of those original video files anymore
I have been playing with ungoogled chromium lately too.
The Brave shields are an excellent defence and use the same content filters as ublock.
I use the no-script so that I can individually control scripts on some websites as needed.
Using DDG, Meta Ger, and Brave search for search engines.
I use Linux Mint and I haven't seen an ad in years lol.
Whatever, use firefox.

Not only do Google seem desparate now, they don’t even provide anywhere near the value to end users as they did as recently as 1-2 yrs ago. It’s like some mad man majority stockholder joined the board and wants to bleed the stone.
on all this viral I would like to put this conscious post by @ThePlant

There’s a *lot* of misinformation going around about Google “moderating bookmarks” now.No, they’re not. Collections are entirely different.
Collections can be shared around, and others can join in and edit making it a potentially very public list. So legally, Google would have to remove things just like any site running anything public that people can add things on.
I get that Google aren’t liked but let’s not spread misinformation please.

•Curiously, I did not see the book in B&N on Saturday. Are BigBoxBookstores(TM) not carrying it?
NB: I’ve retired to a small town without a bookstore (mistake? maybe), so drive 1.5 hours each way to get to the closest.
