Diseased Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

[AnOminous]

If someone's happily been driving the same type of car for 30 years, do you think they'll just switch to a different brand all of a sudden for no reason?

Well, the people pushing this language mostly expect people to give up basic reality like the existence of physical sexes that have existed since the beginning of plant and animal life in favor of made up bullshit from a couple years ago.

What's 30 years using C compared to that?

I've never taken a serious look at rust for the sole reason of the kinds of people who proselytize it and especially - how they do it. If that's not the very definition of toxic (a word the very same people have abused until it lost all meaning) I don't know what is.

Crossposting from A&N, The Register is seething that the author of the recent X11 fork has committed wrongthink in the past, and is committing wrongthink again with the anti-DEI stance.

Mega based. Choosing artix for my switch away from win7 may have literally be the best software decision I've ever made.

ETA:

I just hope that at some point soon he develops a proper roadmap for this fork. Imagine if an X11 fork fixes all the problems Wayland freaks have perennially complained about (multiple monitors, tearing, mixed refresh rate, etc.) before Wayland is fully usable. They will have to be put in a psych ward from seething too hard.

This is a serious question: what features? Tear-free without compositing is afaik already in X11 but freedesktop was refusing to merge the patches so that's basically done. Multiple monitors &/or mixed refresh rate? I keep seeing people say this but I think it's just gaslighting because I have literally been using multiple monitors with different refresh rates for years on X11.

The only two features I don't have but would be nice to have is VRR with multiple monitors and HDR. That's it.

Does anyone know if the XFCE guys have commented on this?

Gentlemen, ladies;

The user @FinnTech is either Rane, or Mary the creator of MarseyLoader (whoever the fuck that is), I was actually able to figure this out a few months ago because of the use of his words persona non grata. typically, retards repeat themselves whenever they find a new word or phrase that makes them sound smart, so I did some digging.

Spoiler: finntech's post that made me think he was Rane or a person from his friend group

how tf did finntech know so much about these people? how did he know this random guy called mary was on an alt?

I didn't take photos at the time, but originally this account was called mary or marsey loader, and used...

why does Rust make cniles' clitties leak so much? literally obsessed

 

[BABANGUIDE64]

There are either old borderline enlightened pedo bums eating psilocybin fungi growing between their toes or a horde of ADF functionaries, troons, corporate shills, DEI nepo 'jeets infesting free software and replacing GPL with MIT, gayzilla and other open soyce licenses
It's over (again)

Analogous to conservatives obsessing over the "cultural Marxism" boogeyman, the reactionary programmers obsess over "computational Marxism". They essentially accuse Rust of bringing a flavor of Marxism into programming, by both the restrictiveness of Rust as compared to C and the cancerous Rust community.

The main issue with Rust is absolutely a social one. I have no idea how or why it happened, but somehow it attracts a specific phenotype that is just utterly insufferable to listen to, nevermind work with. Same thing goes with projects like Gnome or Systemd. Gotta assume its just the corporate rot doing what it does best.

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...

The most important part is this interview with Metux where he explains his goals with XLibre https://felipec.wordpress.com/2025/06/11/enrico-weigelt/

 

[CrunkLord420]

I've been reviewing some of the XLibre commits. I like some of what I see. I do agree with cleaning up the codebase, even if it it's largely just churn. I do see bug fixes. metux seems committed to putting the labor. I see outside contributions being merged (shout out to @dec05eba).

A successor fork to Xorg has always seemed inevitable considering how Red Hat has gatekept the Xorg project, discouraging contributions and spreading FUD with such desperation that they're actively misleading people. Xorg isn't going away, Wayland hasn't successful replaced it. Me and many others are going to continue using Xorg for as long as Wayland is a clusterfuck (which at this rate, is forever). Eventually someone is going to want to make meaningful changes and Red Hat will drag their heels on it. This is exactly what happened. No culture war needed.

For this reason I feel XLibre has the best chance of thriving compared to primarily culture-war based forks like Redot (which I was very critical of) and Sneedacity (which was kinda just a meme). Unlike in these previous instances, there is a need and there is someone with relevant codebase experience heading it up.

I won't be moving over, it needs some more time to cook. Plus from what I can tell nvidia drivers might not be working due to ABI changes. Obviously this is a non-starter that must be resolved. Adults use NVIDIA cards, I'm sorry.

These seem at odds with each other if he's infamous for gratuitous compatibility breakage. Also could you point out some bugfixes? I was looking for them earlier and legitimately couldn't find any, but maybe they were just buried under the heap of minor cleanup crap.

The goal is basically to rewrite the program to make it a cohesive piece of software that is easier to develop and maintain, breakage is inevitable and he has already proven his ability to fix breakage. Some users have expressed optimism about how quickly it will develop, but I would be surprised if he manages to get out of beta within a year, although people have said it's already usable.

Of course it's already usable it's forked from a stable codebase. The real challenge is if it continues to become more stable while implementing the changes.

I think it might take six months or less, right now he's on his own but within a few weeks or so there will be several more contributors that will help get through the project faster

 

[Itchy Hemorrhoids]

I might be the unpopular opinion here, but I think Rust has its place

Rust does have its place, but the problem is trannies pushing it to be in every place.

Rust does have its place, but the problem is trannies pushing it to be in every place.

Rust has its place as a containment language.
