I like his attempt to minimize FDT's ban by saying "well they banned him for saying they were colluding against X11" because he also chose the fence-sitter route of not giving an opinion on whether he was correct, because no, Brodie, pushing someone out for trying to do development and then banning him for pointing that out is not better than banning him for forking the project. Of course, his theory would plausible, except that Lunduke caught these people getting upset at him (and anyone else) for thinking that they have the right to fork Xorg, because for some reason they think they own X11, and the Sebastian guy admitted that they "worked hard" to kill X11.
I think you are a bit naive. I don't think ditching X11 support from GNOME and Ubuntu is a coincidence, when it happened IMMEDIATELY after his ban. Also Wayland is still half-baked, not ready to replace X11.
Brodie pretty much dismisses any criticism of SystemD, Wayland, RedHat (except for that scandal of closing the source of RHLE). It strikes me as one of those atheists/progressives trying to fact check or be contrarian to what I say. He even quoted guys like Hector Martin, Drew DeVault. This guy is IMO not as woke as many Linux devs, but he is safe and toes the line. But I like that he praises Vaxry and his Hyperland project.
He's certainly not as bad as someone like Nicco but he did in fact defend the GNOME Shaman (who wasn't even a real shaman, just some larper woman selling "shaman water"). He's basically a far leftist who wants to appeal to "both sides" and tries to be reasonable and do research. I would make a joke about how it's too hard for him to figure out that Mozilla is about to lose 80% of their income, and that's the reason why they're shuttering failed projects, but I actually watched the video with that title and it was clickbait, Mozilla wasn't even really shuttering their new AI project but rather they had already put it in the browser itself and got rid of the extension.
Confirmed in my belief that anyone who uses a demon as a mascot is a tranny or otherwise demonic (uhh, no, chud, it's just a heckin' computer reference). Although it will hurt adoption in the short term (I don't believe this current thing will last for that long) it was absolutely the right decision to make his anti-JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) statement, because you need to actively exclude these freaks. To quote that guy on Github, "it's filtering out the worst people". Also, the idea that people should not talk about politics in "oss" (it's clearly a FLOSS project, not oss) is an idiotic idea that presumes both that people should be forced to shut up about about their interests and that politics is less important than software, and besides, the people who say this nearly always mean "thing I disagree with" when they say "political" (including the non-wokes like Lunduke). How many of these leftists complaining about the "political" project are upset about GNOME or whoever else celebrating pride month? Tl;dr Metux should've gone the full way and used +NIGGER (not really).FreeBSD tranny said:
I think with an accessible project no longer under freedesktop.org and Red Hat, people will be more inclined to step up and contribute. A LOT of people hate freedesktop.org and Red Hat, and for good reason. A progressing fork away from those people will be a lot easier to pick up the reigns for.
Bingo. GNOME doesn't even target Linux any more. I submitted a bug request once about a specific kernel option, which I disable. Their shitware doesn't work unless your Linux is configured EXACTLY as RedHat ships. Labeled NOTABUG and ignored. We needed liberation from the "FreeDesktop" retards, and finally someone who isn't afraid of being canceled stepped up.
Looking at the crazy amount of stars alone from the github this seems plausible.
Hey now nigger, don't go bashing on my BSD. Eventhough the whole "hur dur maga" opinion is retarded, as long as its all talk and the people espousing them continue to contribute good, non-RHEL poisoned code, I'm game. Same reason I don't dislike Antix Linux despite their poster boy being an ugly, lanky tankie with a "Free Palestine" and flag plastered up on the homepage. FreeBSD is leaps and bounds better than that of course, and OpenBSD doubly so. Hopefully we'll see Xlibre ports before 15.0 hits release day.
Hope so. We need a proper Linux phone distro since Postmarket cucked out by adding systemd shit a few months back and the GrapheneOS head dev is having his spack attack over Android potentially going closed source.
I like OpenBSD, but I would never use FreeBSD even if only because I think their idea of being Linux but with a different kernel is stupid.
The thing is he isn't alone in this fork, a lot of developers who wanted to contribute to X11 but were turned away by the Freedesktop cult will be attracted to Xlibre and will act as additional eyes to catch mistakes and to help contribute more support to it.
I don't see why you would need to, Linux Mint will likely continue to support X11 for at least six years after which either the Xlibre project will be mature or adopted or or switches to Wayland. To be honest I'm not really understanding the connection between X11 being forked and you having to abandon LM, as any other reasons would either apply to other distros or those other distros would create even more complications
Completely unprompted. Not sure what he's trying to say here, nor why is it relevant.Arnt Karlsen said:
Correct. I never understood why do so many OS projects jump to the wolf in sheeps clothing that is Github...
You might as well ask why there are Youtubers that talk about privacy or try to push the envelope of bannable topics. Simply put, Github is very popular and people are familiar with it. What are you even afraid of, it will be slightly easier for Microsoft to train their AI because they don't need to use an API scraper?
The same reason people use Discord, Twitter and YouTube. It's free and it has the largest userbase. It's the easiest to set up and the easiest to contribute to. They want the recognition that someone maintaining some vital piece of software tucked away in a small, generally inaccessible corner of the internet will not get. So they rebase on GitHub where they can feel good about their follower count and their stars increasing. They can then put that retarded widget which scores them on their profile. Setting up a Gitea/GitLab/stagit instance, or a mailing list requires both effort and maintenance and has practically zero returns. People aren't willing to do it anymore.
I'm not putting it past Microsoft to remove the repository. At any time they can point at the Community Guidelines and nuke it.
Any developer should have a local copy of their git history that they can put on Gitea or Bitbucket or whatever whenever they want, so even this isn't a concern unless you're running a high risk project eg you're using +nigger or something.
problably because Microsoft talkes a more hands off approach and won't completly ban you from the platform for wrongthink, or even radical rightthink.
Ideally, even if you host the main repo somewhere else, you want to have a read-only GitHub mirror that links back to you simply for discoverability. Because that's the place people will go to search for it, unless you can hit 1st page on Google otherwise (you can't).
I tend to get the feeling, he is a lot less neutral than he gives off. If you watch his videos over time, and see what he chooses to discuss. And the way he dismisses things. I think he just isn't a completely spurg/retard like a lot of the super progressives. He's actually careful in what he says. And the ideas he pushes. Which is something he's basically said in the past in one of his videos. He's got so many finding it would be a pain. But he eludes to it being his intention that people not know what he believes.
I mean, Antix iirc isn't just left leaning. From what I remember they are full on antifa.
