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.

K-Pop is best listened to in the original Klingon.

They have the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the same people who currently provide mortgage insurance. In their original 1945 mandate, they were responsible for building housing for returning war veterans, as well as loans to purchase them. It was only later, in the 1980s, that the building part was dropped and they took up their current role.

So the federal government has the option of returning the CMHC to its original mandate.

I’m still salty about this.

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.

Lower Decks does have some legacy characters as guest stars. Riker, Paris, Troi, Q, Quark, Kira and a few others all make appearances. But those are cameo type appearances and the focus of the show is on new characters.
