Good info, thanks for sharing. I can only be as accurate as the info I was provided. I did read JWZ's post -- I have his blog in my RSS feed and actually saw the post there before I saw it being linked here. Mr. Lefebvre said "cinnamon-screensaver is written from scratch" in his GitHub post. I assumed good faith[0], and thought that maybe after nearly 30 years, JWZ was just a bit jaded and assumed the worst. I see that JWZ is probably the right one here, and clefebvre mistaken. But Jamie has a certain "tone" that I would argue is a tad combative. To be fair, its his style, just like Linus Torvalds. But that lead me to see his comments in the context that he responds like this to every bad thing (TM) he feels lead to comment on, and I combined that with the GitHub response to conclude that JWZ was acting as a peanut gallery member here. And please don't mistake my reasoning for support. In both my earlier comments, I was advocating for exposure of the response, not endorsement. I feel that is quite clear, and this is shooting the messenger. > I don't wish to be rude to you; but I finally stopped lurking on HN after years and created an account for the purpose of telling you these things. And by years, I mean that my Slashdot ID is in the 500,000s, rather than say the 60-millions. Welcome to HN, officially! But maybe chill with the cred dropping. Appeal to authority is no basis for an argument. [0]: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize.
