quick disclaimer before anyone starts telling their friends about x11libre; the project is associated with MAGA language and personally I don't trust it
If I were to take it several steps further, the conspiracy theorist in me says that redhat has the biggest incentive to make Wayland haters look silly. Of course that's just conjecture.
As an anarchist these dem/rep comment chains always make me feel sad. Literally everyone in there is wrong because they're so caught up in their team, and it's even worse because they're basically the same team: they're all right-wingers who can't comprehend a world that doesn't revolve around the profit of a few parasites.
Everyone feeling welcome (which is explicitly stated in that project's README) is a good thing. But that's not what DEI is. DEI is when someone gets picked over someone else solely because of their association with a particular group. That's bigotry. Bigotry is bad. Diversity and inclusion are good; bigotry is bad. Bigotry is bad. Bigotry is bad. Bigotry is bad.
Bigotry is bad.
It's not just MAGA idiots who are against DEI just because the TV told them to. People who actually know what they're talking about are against it too. Support for DEI is limited to the left edge of the right wing. The fact that MAGAts are against it is simply a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.
It's what I've witnessed in person AND what I take from the intended meaning of the concept. Hire/choose/promote/etc certain people over certain other people because the "other" is some stereotype you don't like. It's just rebranded Affirmative Action. It's evil bigotry that happens to make you feel good because of the words they use to describe it.
I've seen DEI used as an excuse to fire and demote people just because they were part of some demographic, to make space for the "disadvantaged" folks. They were good at their jobs, did nothing fireable. They were deemed to be "advantaged" in the same way a random Asian is assumed to be good at math. And now they're struggling to survive. That's the logical conclusion of DEI. Absolutely evil. There's no excuse for it. And that's not a right-wing view either.
What other conception of it is there that doesn't just conveniently gloss over the details of how it works in practice? What am I missing?
yeah thats why i wrote a piece to show them that the doomsday they are proclamating is already here...
its not AI though, its the need for Profit and Growth in the current economic system
It is a desktop environment that competes directly with Windows and macOS, with bits and pieces that come up in many open source products in all environments.
