I already did the sensible thing by when someone said "hey I forked neofetch because it's abandoned" I did not say "there already is a very active fork called hyfetch".
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.
All the post you responded to said was that the network graph shows and very active fork of the project.
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.
You are making so many assumptions in this reply that it's impossible to take seriously. The last line of yours applies much more to you than any of the commenters in this thread.
You are replying some time after the comment I'm replying to, and the much longer one with more of the same, has been flagged and hidden, so you have little to gauge which might be reasonably assumed from them. In that context your response says more about you than I, IMO.
That was exactly the tone, in fact almost exactly the words, as your previous post. Perhaps some self reflection is on order.
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.
Exactly. That is just a different wording of what, in the very post of mine you replied to, I said would be 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).
I went through all the flagged replies, and I think if you stepped back and looked at the conversation again you might find that some of the implications you're seeing might not exist.
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.
I never said hyfetch shouldn't exist or that the hyfetch author shouldn't make hyfetch or that people who want to shouldn't have their fun being them and enjoy hyfetch.
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”.
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.
