From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In regard to Hyprland and Fascism (drewdevault.com)

Like y'all keep posting about it, praising it, giving it free advertisement, and what not.

But the dev is a fascist, the discord server is a fascist bar, and the project thus is fascist.

I've met people who were harassed, I browsed through now deleted messages of Vaxry using slurrs and more.

So I wonder is if the people who post constantly about it know and are complicit, or just don't know and would act otherwise?

It gets tiring to see the project be given "fame" when I know the roots of the plants are founded in toxicity & abuse.

yeah the only thing it makes me think about is the bbc special with tom baker talking about what hypertext could be like before it was really anything.

Find a better cause than this nothing burger. Literally nothing better to do but complain about some old discussion. God forbid you forgive and move on. No you said something that offended me years ago and I will not forgive such a terrible transgression. This 'look at me" posting is so tiring. Look at how great I am. Don't worry everyone I'll fall on the sword and call out the bad people.

but complain about some old discussion

I wouldnt think 2 years is old, and its not like he changed his mind since then, in any capacity. what he did can't really be forgiven, except if you don't care about the safety of your peers. yes, I said safety, because people like vaxry often find joy in harming.. anyone they don't like.

Forgive my ignorance, but what did he do?

How long is enough, apologies dont matter either right? If you actually spend the time to read the infraction and response you'll see people are just bored and looking to make themselves feel important by randomly posting stuff like this unprompted.
