Listen, I was willing to ignore your low-level insults until now, because I know that people tend to say things they don’t really mean when they are upsed, but THAT uggly thing on the end is totally inacceptable! I find disgusting ALL kinds of tyranny, so don’t you dare presuming such horrible thought. I demand a full retractation and a public apology!

If you don’t know the distinction between refraining from having a moral judgement on someone you don’t really know (especially with such severe allegation), and making excuse for anyone, that’s your problem.

All of that fuss because somebody want to talk about a software ? The air is toxic around here.

You’re all wrong, it’s only that you seem to fear a readme almost no user will ever read. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. If this file were the only issue with this world, we’d live in a paradise.

Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his “detractors” (and who would not become a > “detractor”, after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.

I was merely pointing out that these opinions, whatever they really are, have more publicity from people criticizing the founder. The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.

And this isn’t even mentioning the fact that Xorg is going to be dead, should be dead, and will continue to die. And good riddance, too! Terrible and borderline unmaintainable.

If it were true, all this hatred against the project would be pointless.

The argument that choice diversity is good inherently is stupid, too. Wayland is a god damned protocol! There is no reason > to have lots of diversity there! It has no tangible benefit.

Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don’t agree with that, you miss the all point.

The readme seems to contradict itself, the second part of Leny’s quote looks like real DEI. Hence we can assume that the first DEI entrance is dei-as-implemented-by-xorg-team, which he obviously doesn’t like. Simple assumption, the best would be to ask him.

So far, his alleged opinions are more spread out by his detractors than by himself. Imo, this project brings more diversity of choice in the foss world, and that’s a good thing. I have nothing against wayland, but a de facto monopoly is never desirable. Tbh, I’m far more concerned by the hostility to this fork.

So, you comdemn all the project because its founder just happened to have an opinion you don’t like about a topic completely disconnected from the software world ?

yes, apparently the development of Xorg is more or less abandoned in favor of wayland

the Xlibre fork seems more active
