The maintainer of X11Libre, Enrico Weigelt, is an anti-vaxer who already got scolded by Torvalds for writing bullshit on the kernel mailing list

Oh, so it's him. Dude got absolutely lucky Linus is on mild mode nowadays. On his prime the scold would've been of such epic proportions all the viruses he could have on his body would've leave him out of pure cringe.

Honestly, I'm fully on board of this development. It might be useful for those distros that can't move to Wayland and, more importantly, can keep the developers far from everything else.

YOOOOOO!!! IT'S THE SAME FUCKING GUY. I remember that legendary Torvalds roast. Good shit.

At least his aim is shit… lol (talking about this GermaA.. dude)

Oh is that the red hat they are blaming?

XXY11 so they have to learn about intersex and other way sex characteristics can show up.

O.m.f.g.

What even..

Lmao, they even tried to say that they learned it from Dave Chapel (I think, it's hard to understand) a few comments down like that makes it better. He literally used it in reference to jewish people, like come on.

Reading that made me want to unalive myself.

I've been watching a lot of Miniminuteman lately. Weigelt sounds exactly like the crackpot conspiracy theorists whose "facts" are being "silenced" by "the Establishment" of "mainstream science" because "they don't want you to know this".

What is that guys deal?

I mean, it's funny to laugh at nazis.

There's no feeding going on. We're simply laughing at their expense.

it's nothing but config files you have to edit from the local console shell

Some people seem to love that, as well as the total lack of any kind of access control or security. I mean, look at how many people are still arguing that "Systemd is destroying Linux", clinging to initd with all its bash scripts and no nice way to prevent race conditions and such.

To roughly quote someone from a talk (not sure where I heard that, was about systemd as well I think):

"We nerds are very good at change when we're the ones proposing it, but very bad when it comes from the outside."

To be fair they made a lot of strides to the point where config file wrangling went from mandatory to almost never done.

But yes, Nvidia would have quirks driving people back to wrangling config file, but they got better too.

Though I'm not particularly interested in X11. The biggest thing they had was trivial application forwarding, but the architecture didn't scale well to modern resolutions and UI design that was largely bitmaps being pushed, as well as not handling higher latency networks too well.

I miss the days when we tolerated assholes and bigots instead of calling them out.

"No, go away."

That's a perfectly valid way to deal with toxic contributors. There's always people with better social skills and equal developer skills out there, you don't have to accept and include toxic people just because they wrote some code.
