  • How is “Unix philosophy” even remotely connected to the philosophy behind free software? Unix itself was proprietary. These are completely separate things.

    “Stay on windows or mac”

    And what if I don’t? I have the freedom to use Linux however I want, and with whatever display server I want, granted to me by GPLv2.

    “What you’re doing is defending corporate funded software”

    Do you even realize just how much funding and support Linux kernel itself receives from various multi-billion corporations? If that’s a bad thing in your book, I suggest you look into BSD, but even that gets a bit of funding from them.

    “designed with malicious intent”

    You have yet to provide an proof for that. What’s their malicious intent exactly? Just creating an FLOSS modern alternative that people are free to use or avoid?

    How exactly is this a meme? This is just bitching about stuff. And no Wayland isn’t a mistake. Maybe it is to you luddites who can’t move on from your Unix religion, but for the majority, Wayland brings tons of new features and improvements over X11. I mean X11 still has it’s uses, but it doesn’t mean Wayland just shouldn’t exist. Still if you wanna bitch about it go on. You are free to do so like distros are free to move away from X11. But at least don’t do it in a meme community.


















  • From human rights watch

    “The Indian government led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) escalated its crackdown on civil society and the media. Authorities prosecute activists, journalists, peaceful protesters, and other critics on fabricated counterterrorism and hate speech laws. They have shut down rights groups using foreign funding regulations or unfounded allegations of financial irregularities. The government has adopted laws and policies that discriminate against religious minorities, especially Muslims. This, coupled with vilification of Muslims and other minorities by some BJP leaders, and the police failure to act against government supporters who commit violence, has emboldened Hindu nationalist groups to target members of minority communities or civil society groups with impunity.”
