Clearly the Lix team.

  Ok but they’re creating a good product, in their “own” space, not bothering anyone, and they increase competition which benefits the entire ecosystem, so to be frank… who cares? Lix is a net win for everyone. It would behoove us to stop taking pot shots at them because if you want nix to succeed, the presence of Lix is a net positive.

    Not sure deliberate and obtuse fragmentation benefits anyone. If they started to fix some of the long-standing Nix implementation issues (namely, evaluation performance) that would be one thing. But what they actually did is rage-fork nixpkgs and register new domains.

Sounds like White supremacy and Neo-Nazism. Why not say that about every other project that leftist enter and try to push their religious beliefs? >Lix is a net win for everyone. Most definitely not, fragmentation and religious proselytizing destroys projects. >It would behoove us to stop taking pot shots at them The truth shouldn't be hidden, regardless if they're "pot shots" or not. >want nix to succeed, the presence of Lix is a net positive. The Lix team are the ones that destroyed the nix community with their totalitarianism, leftist/woke ideology, and subversive actions. They are a net negative.

      Nobody is keeping cis people from contributing to Lix, and even if they did, it'd be far from them trying to eliminate you. Isolationism isn't genocide, you fetid moppet.

        Tbh I'm starting to believe that Lix is a great litmus test to determine if someone was honest about "not caring" about gender identity. People who opposed the introduction of gender politics in mainline Nix, but now also dislike Lix... what on earth do they want? It's starting to sound like they just want transgender people to be unhappy. To your parent poster: you got what you wanted, "they" are "gone". What are you afraid of? That they're better? Even if they did reject contributions from cis people: let them! What if transgender people are inherently better programmers and we hold them back? What an amazing way this would be to find out. I disagree with the nazi comparison but I will leave it at that. :D (Inb4 "fascism")
