  • I admit, I was partially wrong. The CoC violations occured outside freedesktop and he received an email from a freedesktop member stating that their CoC does extend outside their immediate project, to some extent.

    This isn’t that unreasonable in my opinion, considering that his behavior “reflects on communities like [FreeDesktop] when [they] interact with and accept contributions from hyprland.”

    Of course this should only apply to severe CoC violations considering that two different CoCs rarely overlap in full.

    So the reason for the ban was that hyprland’s developer published their email exchange and wrote an extensive, surprisingly hostile blog post about it.

    I genuinely recommend reading their exchange, I’ve rarely seen this amount of hostility and toxicity in an email exchange - followed up with “I hope we can resolve this constructively” and “I will be seeking legal action if you continue threatening to ban me”.












  • (a <=> b) <=/=> [(b => TRUE) <=> a]

    This is a critique of honor societies which do not serve a point in proving someone’s “honor”. The college requirement is essentially: Join this club to prove you have joined this club. Anyone can join an “honor” society without demonstrating anything related to honor, meaning:

    ([Joining an honor society] => TRUE) <=> [Being allowed to join college]

    Being allowed to drive a car implies having a license and having a license implies being allowed to drive a car. Neither of these implies TRUE - in an ideal world at least.

    By the way, TRUE is a tautology because it is always true, which is the definition of a tautology. Unnecessary repetition is not a requirement of a tautology.




  • I meant to convey how so much of the existing green space was paved already that paving the entire green space wouldn’t be much different at this point.

    I would guess the paved paths make up like 20% of the image? That’s far too much in my opinion, green space in cities is already severely limited.

    You can also see how every time a desire path was paved, new desire paths sprung up - which were then also paved.




  • Mud is messy

    It depends. Some people view lawns that aren’t devoid of all insect life messy or trimmed evenly messy. And if it is raining or has recently rained, hardly anyone would use a muddy path so the concrete sidewalk will remain reasonably clean as well.

    wheelchair-accessible

    That’s important, though I’m not advocating for keeping an entire campus unpaved. I am arguing that only necessary pathways should be paved while desire paths should ideally remain unpaved. People in wheelchairs should still get around (quickly), but desire paths don’t need to be wheelchair accessible in my opinion.
