Sam Bent, 8 months ago (at this time), covered XLibre, which is essentially a fork of XOrg that wants to clean up the codebase, modernize it, and fix the security holes that lasted for years on XOrg.
Meetux, the developer, became persona-non-Grata in FreeDesktop, IBM, RedHat, and possible GNOME circles, simply because he wanted to fix Xorg so people have an option on what they want to use.
It’s also why I won’t kowtow to IBM, GNOME, and FDO’s demands, due to technical merit being moot.
Come on! Think before writing!
“This piece of shit is so good technically that you can close both eyes on how he’s a piece of shit”
I will never work, collaborate or hire someone like that. It’s not for nothing in recrutement we have Technical + Human assessment on the candidates. Because BOTH matters.
Pushing the “apolitical” narrative is just how to lower your values and it’s a NOGO for decent people.
What you’re doing is calling for me to choose a side, instead of being neutral. I’m going based upon technical merit, not so much political merit. I don’t even care for politics that much, considering I’ve been neutral on Lemmy.
