This is yet another gigantic mask-off moment for Red Hat Inc. and the GNOME foundation, it should be a wakeup call to every computer user and yet the corporate shot heard 'round the world is yet again ignored.
Please spread this. FreeDesktop wants you and the tools you rely on for your day-to-day zombified and then dead.
@nyanide here's the rundown >guy who is the main dev still of x11 submits patches that never get merged >gets fed up with the freedesktop bullshit (like with hyprland, political crashouts of the devs, etc.) >decides to fork in private >tells Lunduke about this (public enemy #1 to the corporate types as of now) >same guy who had a meltdown over the words "thin blue line" on a mailing list has a meltdown, bans him and nukes everything of his
:lumbergh: mint do the work right fuckin' now at 2 a.m. :peter: But there's a scrumbol. :lumbergh: Oh, shit! :lumbergh2: Get out there, hop on fuckin' Mumble. :peter: k :bob1: That guy's going places. :bob2: Promote him. :lumbergh: The only point of disagreement I have is that he wasn't checking his notifications.
@sun@feld imo if an application sniffs X11, it can do other things as well. either you can trust the software, or you don't.
another display server isn't the issue. arcan just does it's thing. the issue is how people involved in wayland behave. if the product is better, they wouldn't need to use oppressive tactics. it's the same with rust or haskell (and openbsd people who constantly shit talk linux, but that's my pet peeve).
this way they admit their product is shit. they behave like communists taking over successful businesses, putting the owners into a gulag, run the business into the ground and then use it as proof communism is good.
