“linux is about the choice to be fash”

On X11 and the Fascists Maggots

I can't believe I needed to write this but here we are.

https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/06/23/the-fascist-maggots/

It has taken the entirety of a desktop developers across all projects and 3 blogposts to start **mitigating**, not even undoing, the bullshit damage about Wayland's accessibility story. And now there's an even worse post that can I can only characterize as literal platforming of fascists and other reactionary elements, while beating the same exact drum about 20yolds not understanding accessibility.

It literary further feeds into the bullshit culture war narrative.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

@lproven @theregister I am sorry but the last paragraph about accessibility is complete and utter bullshit. Jesus fucking Christ.

I don't know what's worse, giving the metux more attention or not having a clue what you write about.

There isn't any " remarkable levels of anti-X11 sentiment from Wayland proponents since the announcement" either. Your perception of reality is so wrapped its basically an Ouroboros by now.

@lproven @theregister Not only is accessibility the only real blocker mentioned in the gnome-session MRs but I also mentioned this in the blogpost you linked.

Yet you don't even give a shit and decide to make up your own horseshit that none of us cares about accessibility at all.

Here is a direct and accessible link cause clearly you can't be bothered.

I will expect to be paid for doing your work and being dragged through the mud.

You don't get to own Xorg. It belongs to the X.org foundation and community.

X.org literary hosts and runs Wayland and Weston

Xorg is dead and we killed it. And nobody regrets it.

You can find the slides for the #las2025 talk I gave today about Flathub here:

If you find yourself being an influencer/youtuber that has cultivated an audience that would distribute CSAM "just to trigger the libs" in your name, the only thought that should be in your mind right now should be how to end it all.

Lunduke fans distributing CP as a spam attack, why am I not surprised.

@BrodieOnLinux Hi, thanks for the invite but all I had to say about this was in the post. I am also not involved with Flathub directly and don't want to speak on their behalf, cause regardless people will interpret it as such.

I would love to see an interview of @razze and other folks however!

Will be looking forward to your video!

You are fucking shitting me...

The mere notion that one could "harass online" the account of a EU agency responsible for genocides and complete dismantle of whole countries is beyond laughable.

Appeal rejected, poor bean EU commission..

This is fucking infuriating.

In this neoliberal hellscape, the one thing you still have left is being able to yell at all your overlords that are brain broken enough to be terminal online.

But the people running mastodon.social are so ultra libed up that not even that is allowed it seems.

Why even bother with PR when idiots will do everything to throw it back for you, without even needing to ask for it.

Not even twitter would throw it back this hard for the EU.. Terminal lib brain.. Fuck off sincerely.

Look at me the giant billionaire, harassing and bullying the EU Commission account.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Additionally the idea that you have to be a perfect presenting in order to criticize, rant or vent online is deliberate aesthetic libshit. It's just an excuse and nothing else.

"Oh you can't curse", "Your post was inciting violence", "You threatened the EU commission cause of an infographic"

All Aesthetic bullshit.

The only acceptable speech is that which is harmless.

What's violence isn't the words in an online post, it's living in a banana republic that the EU commission has destroyed.

What's violence is struggling to make enough money to buy food, what's violence is not having health care, what's violence is the underfunded and increasingly privatized education system.

What's violence is the EU deciding to gift my parents one and only house to some anonymous bank account in the Cayman island. What's violence is bailing out all the bankers that were responsible for getting us kicked out of our home.

But all this violence is always overlooked.

The point of containers was never to need to proxy the fucking dbus and avahi socket into them.

All of you on the internet are fucking wrong and stupid. It doesn't even work anymore.

STOP DOING CONTAINERS

NETWORKING WAS BAD ENOUGH IN THE FIRST PLACE

@KekunPlazas I will tell you next week!

Till then take a look at git absorb

@garrett Yea indeed, I just watched the fosdem talk last night.

Oh Tauri yea, I even talked with some of the developers.

They could have done away with the design patterns that most electron apps use 😆
