How is me eating dried apricots right now political?

GMO? Non-gmo? What company? Did you use money to buy them? How did you acquire the money?
Everyday you vote with currency.
Again, we’re just making a mess of a thread, PM me if you want to discuss further.

Maybe @Dinomonster stole them from a one eyed cripple who would have used the money to feed her starving children. There’s a reason that @Dinomonster has “monster” in his name

No, I’m saying that he is a 
and a piss poor coder. I refuse to conform to your model of conformity.

That sounds more like consumer talk and financial talk to me, not politics. But it’s pretty much easy to turn anything into politics, that doesn’t make it an excuse to do so. Same as you can turn a lot of things into a Linux topic.
I don’t eat those but what I do use music players on my Linux installation that have their names based on a fruit: Clementine and Strawberry.
Thank you, but I don’t want to discuss about this via PM. Because this is not going to go to anywhere. You have your opinions and I have mine. 
This. The guy behind xlibre essentially got into trouble for pushing a stream of bad/rejected patches over a long period of time. This project is already tainted by injecting some imaginary political vitriol, based on a near dead technology stack. I welcome it for the simple reason that the more wingnuts he attracts the fewer distractions they will create in other projects that actually matter.
Lunduke is an idiot, always kind of has been.

Where did I mention you? I was replying to another person. I had no awareness of any stance you could possibly have until you wrote this message, but you just felt the urge to make it clear that you don’t “conform to my conformity” even though I wasn’t even directing it at you. Maybe you are directing what I said at yourself.
It’s up to you to believe or not in what you call “my model” which isn’t even my model, I don’t care at least until I’m proven wrong.
Piss poor programmer? You will have to back that up. Have you actually seen the latest commits in the project? This guy is making a change for once to x11 and I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few months or years we start running xlibre instead of xorg.

For perspective, he’s been by far the most active contributor to Xorg over the past two years. Not just some guy merely getting knocked back on some pull-requests.
See for yourself:
This doesn’t account for the pull-requests that were held back.

Being banned from the gitlab is not imaginary political vitriol. Xorg is only dead because they want it to be, and you solely focus on the politics of things, rather than analysing through the technicalities of development. If everyone thought like this years ago, Xorg and Wayland wouldn’t exist either and most programming languages would have never come to life.
“Bad” patches according to whom exactly? Do you even know why they got rejected? Because Xorg development is purposely stalled and preserves all kinds of hacks that make backwards compatibility because they do not want to proceed. A fork must be made for improvements to be done, since upstream just wants to put it on life support and eventually plug it out.
Lunduke this, lunduke that. You are more concerned about proving your political stance, but if you are going to criticise him then use actual arguments for criticising him which exist and are valid such as what I wrote a few messages above, rather than just insulting the man because you don’t agree with him.

And if he wasn’t stalled/rejected due to preservation of Xorg hacks and backwards compatibility the commits would have been significantly more.
So much for “imaginary political vitriol” and yet we have proof right here on their mastodon instance, actual conspiracy. It only significantly reinforces the idea that Wayland was never an organic adoption and if it wasn’t for corporate and foundation interests we would have stayed on Xorg and improved it.
The truth is that Wayland is bureaucratic hell. If it works for you that’s perfect, but it simply is not nearly enough for me and many others. Why should we surrender our desktop freedom to such people? So that IBM can control the Linux desktop?

While we are at it, I heard the KDE people have admitted they killed plasma 5 on purpose. They have whole bug trackers where they openly talked about how to make plasma 6 the next thing. And plasma 5 was put into “maintenance” mode afterwards.
They are even proud about all the work to kill plasma 5. Actual conspiracy. Someone should look into it.

BRO, i think it’s too late for that!
- systemd
- X11
- Wayland
- NetworkManager
- pulseaudio
- pipewire
- KVM
- freedesktop
- GNOME (not formally, but basically all key decisions)
etc
There’s no Linux systems that has none of those projects, and all key decisions are made by them viscious corpos.
hyprland and XLibre are just few small steps away from this corpos, which is awesome! I hope some day there will be Linux systems completely free of IBM!
PEACE YO!!! 
You can switch to FreeBSD or TempleOS?

I would switch to BSD but I’ve already put so much time into Linux don’t feel like learning a whole new os out again, as well as spending the hours into it. Also gaming on Linux has gotten a long way over the years, I’ve heard on BSD you wouldn’t get the same gaming experience.
Yeah bro, BSD is great for Network and simple desktop stuff!!!
Gaming is possible…but not as cool!
