I blogged about something related and included this anecdote part way through. https://popey.com/blog/2023/09/a-virus-for-the-bbc-micro/ - under "A short aside"
There are niche and upscale farms that grow specific things like apples and wine grapes that can do quite well, but these are well established family-run businesses that would cost millions of dollars to buy, when they come up for sale at all.
I don't care about the *fetch authors interest in lgbtq+ any more than you care about my interest in bamboo vs cotton textiles when you were trying to run my fork of top.
It is explicitly described as “neofetch with pride flags <3” so it isn't like the behaviour is going against what it says on the tin.
> I don't care about the *fetch authors interest in lgbtq+
I can't say I care about your lack of interest, but I've now had if waved in front of my face :)
If it bothers you that much, fork it and make “hyfetch without the pride”. Or just use one of the many other forks of the original.
I was already fine with the idea that someone has decided to pick up the original neofetch.
This comment is a response, to someone else making a suggestion. I am responding that I do not think this is a reasonable suggestion.
If your response simply stated that “this fork uses an lbgtq+ theme by default and might take some work to change that”, then your response would be more reasonable. As it is your response looks to me more like a rant that you have been wanting to vent and have found an opportunity.
Calm down, have fun being you, and let others have their fun being them.
This is the tone I'm asking about. I just don't understand why you insinuate things instead of saying them outright.
Though to answer more directly: I someone come across as a bit supersilious, partly because of big words, complex sentences, & assuming people understand, and sometimes because I just am.
> neofetch is dead; here's my fork
< there exists already a maintained fork -- ``hyfetch"
> hyfetch explicitly inserts lgbtq+ things into the software, and thus is probably not what people want when they think ``maintained neofetch fork"
seems perfectly reasonable.
But that isn't all that the (now flagged and hidden so I can't evidence this) post I was replying to said more, and a small essay elsewhere in the thread (also flagged and hidden) said more again (or repeated the same things in more ways, to be less generous).
Even if they did exist, the /explicit/ point being made is valid: hyfetch is an expressly lgbt thing, and a lot (most?) people would prefer their vanity-specification-printer wasn't intertwined with that kind of thing.
It would be like learning the currently maintained version of grep includes random Christian iconography, if that helps the point get across -- christian or not, that's not what people go to software for, and it would thus be pretty useless to mention christGrep in a discussion about maintained alternatives to the original.
Why do you accuse me of not being calm?
No, but your posts did seem to strongly imply you were carefully not saying some things.
> Why do you accuse me of not being calm?
Because short essays that amount to “as long as I don't have to see it” are, in my experience, not associated with a calm demeanour. I may have made an unfair assumption there.
Even if I have, the rest of that line is still relevant: “have fun being you, and let others have their fun being them”.
Genuine question, I haven't used it.
What aspect of their reply "Not even, this person is complaining about the color scheme options in multiple threads" registered as "very sinister" to you?
Do you have any other totally innocent and sincere questions I can clear up for you?
On another note, good to know Dylan still alive. He kinda disappeared 2 years ago.
