    If dmenu was made by a nazi I wouldn’t give a shit because its just dmenu but hyprland is so clearly made by a pack of /g/ zoomers who want their desktops to look like 1337 haXors without any access to the low level systems. Its all discord script kiddie hype-beasts.

    Its a tiling window manager made by people who never used a tiling window manager on X11. I know I’m sounding like an elitist boomer but this shit really violates some core Unix principals of making small composable utilities that empower the user. RiverWM or Sway keep to this philosophy.

      that’s like 75-80% of all development these days. bunch of discord scriptkiddie crapware that’s not even worth the headache to “configure it right”.

      I shouldn’t have to configure shit, it should just fucking work.

      I blame silicon valley startups and vtubers. these low effort wannabe developers just want to make a name for themselves to move up the ladder. problem is, when everybody is artificially inflating their hype-blimps something is bound to crash and burn.

      we used to write software to solve problems, not make up problems to solve with software.

      each year I get closer to retirement I’m grateful I won’t have to put up with these egotistical inflatable engineers or their “solutions” for any longer than I have to.
