Which way is it, chief?
- ddevault 6y agoThere aren't any Xorg maintainers left. Xorg was abandoned, by its maintainers, because it's a broken pile of shit. Calling it a broken pile of shit is validating its (ex-)maintainers, not being a dick to them.
- davidcuddeback 6y agoI highly doubt that nobody who used to work on Xorg would be offended by you calling it a broken pile of shit. And then there's this, from you, today: > GNOME is a dumpster fire [1] Can you say the same about Gnome maintainers? Do you think they're not offended by you calling their project a dumpster fire? You're being hypocritical and going to great lengths to spin a narrative to justify your abusive language. I feel you on entitled and abusive users, but stooping to their level reflects poorly on you and to a lesser extent on the projects associated with you, including Wayland. You can choose to be better than that. Honestly, your attitude in TFA and here is doing more harm than good. Have you considered taking a hiatus for a while to re-center yourself? Maybe find another outlet for your frustrations? Or maybe consider @titzer's suggestion [2]: delete the post and start over.
