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.

This is likely how this will end: some smaller studios get desperate, and they break from the pack to make a deal.

Then suddenly they can produce new shows and none of their competitors can, so all the other studios fold and agree to the deal too so they aren’t left out in the cold.

It’s how the musicians strike of 1942-1944 ended.
