It's even worse than I thought it was. I thought it was just haha library funny. I didn't reboot for ages and I updated @world at least once in that time, maybe something went wonky with the dmenu binary that got compiled separately?
Wrong, Microsoft Windows.
There's precisely one piece of software that I need proprietard shit for, and some God-forsaken combination of
>Microsoft having close collaboration with hardware vendors and Windows presumably being able talk to the UEFI closer than GNUnix can
>Windows to Go being a funny hack that Rufus enables, God love 'em
>Windows not actually shutting down when you say shut down, but actually hibernating when it shuts down because fuck you asshole that's why
Is causing shenanigans with my hostname when starting up. And not just at startup, for some even further God-forsaken reason, despite being listed as a boottime startup script, it keeps wanting to run in the background after I've booted and logged in.
IT EVEN HAPPENED WHILE I WROTE THIS FUCKING POST, AFTER LAUNCHING FOUR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS.

I think it's because Xorg is networked and it throws a huge shitfit if the hostname gets updated to DESKTOP-ASDF1337 when you've already launched it, and Sway/wayland isn't networked so it doesn't even fucking notice shonkey business happening in the background. But it probably requires some third party clipboard daemon bullshit powered by dbus™️ because copy-pasting DOESN'T FUCKING WORK IN WAYLAND (and neither do gtk2 applications.)
I don't even know how to excise this fucking demon I'm just adding more text to a) lament, and b) put off doing the daemon restart macarena in a tty because this is the most retarded bug I've ever seen in my life.
FUCK BILL GATES
FUCK WINDOWS DEFENDERS
