i piss off x11 folks that say "they're killing X11 with EEE and forcing me to change my workflow" or whatever
i piss off wayland folks that say "X11 is dead and wayland is ready, move on already"
here's the final version of the "redirects cheat sheet" draft I posted a while back!
("The Secret Rules of the Terminal is finished! 95 beta readers have read it! the copy editor is done! technical review is done! the illustrator has made the cover! It's going to be out on *****Tuesday June 24*****")

Really warms my heart to see Musk celebrating Juneteenth with some fireworks.
Dear #GitHub, when I click on a link to an English language documentation page, I don't want to be automatically redirected to a machine generated German translation.
Yes, I have both enabled in my browser. Multi-lingual people are a thing. If I want a translation, I'll explicitly ask for it.
Every site whose product owner/manager insists on automatic translation should immediately fire them.
Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3
we heard how much you guys loved windows vista and 7 so we replaced the startup sound in the dev builds of 11 with the windows 7 startup sound
you're welcome

while we're at it:
don't fall for their "we wanna include everyone, so we're anti-DEI" bullshit
Everyone I interacted and worked with at the Debian project and the LKML judge me solely on my respectfulness and, more importantly, my contributions.
In essence, if your code is ass, your code is ass, and they gonna tell you it's ass, and usually what u need to fix.
Skin color, heritage, gender identity, born sex, sexuality, none of that has any influence on that whatsoever.
They do exactly what the X11libre maintainer pretends to do, but in case you haven't noticed, none of them feel the need to virtue signal how much they hate DEI etc. They just treat everyone equally (well, a subsystem maintainer has more trust than a one-time contributor but you get what I mean).
Or in other words: this anti DEI bullshit is exactly why they won't keep their word in terms of equality, while the other projects mentioned just do without a fuss.

@danirabbit Fuck these right-wing asshats trying to claim the cross-platform, standards-based, accesstibility-supporting window system as their cause.
We've seen this again and again and it's so tiring: discrediting things that matter by associating it with their vile bigotry.
I remember when it was "systemd in Debian is a feminist conspiracy!" 🙄 🤬
Drive them out of FOSS entirely.
For any maintainers on GitHub, I found this great free block list https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/40
“what should i do when i dont want to use systemd?”
> use systemd

I love the idea of these configurable logic gates. Only need to stock one part to implement various gate implementations, nifty for hobbyists. For commercial projects they don't really make financial sense as they are a few cents more expensive than just buying two different single use parts.
And all together:
