The comparison with the nuclear arms race is starting to hit home. The tech has come a long enough now to provide lots of scope for saleable products. Further development into the unknown is obviously dangerous, and they can see international oversight coming, so why not get ahead of the game and look like the good guys.

There is already a team in Sheffield working on exactly what that oversight will look like. I’m sure there are others.

Yes, but everyone seems happy with hyprland so far. I’m sure there are lots of Devs whose political views are a tad iffy. My worry is he’ll now be influenced by DHH into compromising hyprland in some fashion.

Indeed. Just been looking at Niri and MangoWM as alternatives.

Makes me wonder how long hyprland will be safe for.

True, assuming the crack works in Wine or Proton. However, those emulators aren’t fully sandboxed, so as long as the code can run it could in theory grab data or damage the system. Probably only a matter of time before such things are compromised regularly.

My problem with pirating anything isn’t the principle, it is the reliability and risk of viruses.
