Second, by now people should know better than depend on software developed by a troon. The troon is easily distracted and can only focus on a project in the moment. Eventually, usually sooner than later, something will happen and the troon will rage-quit due to some imagined slight and the project is dead.
Never use or depend on projects managed by a troon. The projects will never have longevity and will be sabotaged and abandoned without warning.

Knew it! He did this purely to justify excluding xlibre with the claim that there's a valid alternative. It's never going to amount to anything. Probably going to remain functional vapourware forever.

This V-tweet (I'm not the one who decided to call the website vt.social) from Hector Martin should be mentioned in relation to the above.

MacOS supports X11 through xquartz btw.

The word "sustainability" is perhaps the clearest indicator that you're about to hear the most niggerlicious opinion on the planet. I could be convinced that this word is a lefty corpcuck dogwhistle to signal to each other that they will gladly bow down and suck the Blackrock cock anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Even if it means well, I have only ever heard narcissists or people with cucked agendas use this word, present creature included.

Why do all troons have jawlines that belong on vintage military recruitment posters

Because God has a sense of humor.

More Bcachefs drama: https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/01/bcachefs_may_get_dropped/

Kent Overstreet is having problems with the idea he can't "experiment" with mainline kernel. Still hasn't learned to play well with others. Linus is tired of his shit and I can see bcachefs getting dumped out of the kernel.

He's been warned several times and continues to cowboy his patches and annoy Linus.

A good way to set yourself up for failure is to continue to annoy Linus.

Has anyone been following the Indian scammer from Pooland applying to every YC startup and doing nothing on multiple jobs at the same to bilk money from them? Every "start-up culture" person on Xitter has been seething how much this Soham Parekh has been stealing from the blind lol. It's all Indian start-ups who seem uniquely harmed by this guy lmao. https://nitter.poast.org/search?f=tweets&q=soham+parekh

This guy had the bad fortune of pissing off the wrong people and then doubly so that they all got together on Twitter to whine about him. Similar stories play out all over the USA every day.

If someone similar to Soham gets hired at a F500, things are so fucking slow that if you get through the gauntlet of interviews / shit tests that is status quo these days, you can do literally nothing and these companies are so brutally inefficient with so much bureaucracy you can suck down a salary for MONTHS. Even longer if you make a half ass attempt at doing anything, or if you stretch out the process with "sicknesses". Probably his only mistake was going after tiny startups where there's nowhere to hide and nowhere to blend in.

Your name will probably be blacklisted after this, but if you're getting away with $1.5 million USD after a few years, you can retire to India without much problem. All it takes is some "hustle" and a total lack of conscience for all the bridges you will burn along the way.

Of course, if you change your mind you can just come back with a new name, because all it takes is a LinkedIn page, some OK looking GitHub presence and a skill at the stupid interview process that is all the rage these days.

You wouldn't believe how many offshore companies / workers do so very little and are just parasites for the US tech industry.

Over and over and over again jobs go to India to "save" money, but if you never get back any fucking results, or they are shit, who cares how much money you "saved"...

When KFcc, the fediverse instance I used to run, first started up I picked Pleroma as our fediverse server stack. As part of my research into the project I checked out the active contributors, which at the time included kaniini (Ariadne Conill). I was concerned that an antifa larping troon would be a major counter-party risk, so I decided to review every single commit made going forward. Immediately upon the instance creation, kaniini freaked out and started spreading all sorts of scare mongering. Just total vagueries, the exact same as you see with XLibre "it's icky gross and that's a security problem!".

I made effort to try to establish a professional relationship with kaniini. Trying to come to an understanding of neutrality, assuring him we weren't going to start attacking the network or spam. I even got @Null to try to play professional with him, to put everyone at ease. Despite all this effort kaniini crashed out on his own, something relating to internal political tranny drama. I think kaniini is incredibly unpopular among almost everyone, including other antifa trannies.

The moral of the story is kaniini loves to act up like this. He couldn't wait to make a statement about XLibre, he loves to create a panic, a drama. Everything is an existential threat. "Oh you don't want me in women's sports? This is why I need a gun to protect myself against chuds trying to kill me!". No amount of professionalism and diplomacy will change anything.

Edit: I bet Alex Gleason has his own stories about kaniini.

he's not joking btw, there was an ongoing saga over months where crunk would message me his frustrations with trying to keep the fedi together and stop instances from blocking each other but having no success. The stuff with kaniini was really insane because iirc he completely abandoned FOSS development? He was so dismayed his code was used by a community he didn't like he decided that he didn't want to write FOSS code anymore to be absolutely certain nobody he didn't like would use his work ever again.

This is a completely understandable position for stuff that basically requires you to participate in gay networked shitflinging and troon power struggles like the fediverse does, tbh

 

[CrunkLord420]

I also forgot that kaniini would go on to declare the entire fediverse as UNSAFE. Then also declare the Matrix network as UNSAFE for vague reasons, perhaps because I also ran a KF Matrix instance? He ended up retreating into IRC, taking part of the freenode revolt and creating his own special locked down fediverse instance that probably doesn't really federate with anyone. I don't think he even use Pleroma anymore.

kaniini is absolutely the safety tranny stereotype. Where anything and everything can be interpreted as "unsafe" which is maliciously interpreted as someone actively trying to kill them. Red alert, shields up, feminine dicks out.

He ran off to Alpine after everything. Joining some corporate grift company that does vague consulting.

This guy is a hero. Anyone who does hiring like this, deserves this. Doesn't matter if they "blacklist" this guy (whatever that means). Now everyone knows that corpos are easy targets for low effort pajeet coded resumes. They love that shit. Don't send in your 15 years of genuine experience resume. Pretend to be a retarded webshitter pajeet instead!

Things regularly unanswered by sustainability fags:
1. What is being sustained?
2. Why do we want to sustain it?
3. How will it be sustained?
4. What's the cost of sustaining it versus alternatives?

I'm pretty sure you'd get 95+% just telling you "the planet" with zero elaboration on how anything they're doing leads to anything else let alone something the scale of Earth.

Plus 90% of the sustainability stuff is technically not sustainable when you look at the whole thing. Wind generators that cannot be recycled and must be buried isn't sustainable, for example.

There's a new wave of people who forget what the F and O in FOSS means. They un-ironically want their code/projects to be used only by people / organizations that they agree with fully. I thought the whole point of freedom was that anyone, no matter who they are, or no matter what circumstance can use the software.

I'm somewhat surprised no one has made the Pozzed Public License yet, that allows anyone to use a piece of software except for an increasingly large list of banned individuals and organizations.

I find things more interesting and meaningful if I am in a space where not everyone agrees with me. I am exposed to new ideas and I am also afforded opportunities to ruminate on and re-consider my own beliefs, should they come under discussion.

That seems to be some kind of "old-timey" approach now, because the only community tolerated by some people today is one that is an echo chamber, where every member is allowed to express their opinion as long as it is in a really narrow continium.

Anyone that's too scared to write FOSS works because "the wrong people" might use it, I think are best not writing any software at all. Individuals like that tend to bring along a bucket of drama and often times piss off actually productive members of communities.

It's amazing how many Fediverse instances have to carry a massive banlist, because it's extremely "triggering" to see some opinions if they are not in lock-step with whatever the flavor of the day is.

I don't worry about this too much, as such easily offended communities tend to infight and eat each other, while the people getting work done continue just quietly getting things done without huge waves of drama.
