Yeah my mistake. Thanks for the correction.

Ah yeah I had it wrong. Thanks for the correction.

Hyprland is itself a fork of wlroots, a project that the author of this post created, so this has happened before and they definitely have the skills to bootstrap a new project.

This is a good enough reason to fork a project and establish a new community with new norms.

The Wikipedia article says it’s derived from the term “rice burner” and talks about the history of the term.

I can say I first heard the term about 20 years ago about cars with unnecessary decals and accessories, and it definitely had a racist connotation then.

I certainly wouldn’t use the term myself and I cringe when people use it here.
