And it’s absolutely based.

Lunduke proven right yet again

Lunduke is exhausting to argue against because he is genuinely a very good writer.
But he also makes up a bunch of supporting elements, misrepresents a bunch of stuff and is generally an asshole to people who dont agree with him.

Also all his coverage is extremely tainted by politics.

The OSS community is toxic as fuck, look at[...]

Looking at this forum is enough to see that, though.

Which is a stronger economic and social environment, an Inclusive or Exclusive one? An exclusive economic environment becomes a horizontal market while an inclusive one becomes a vertical market. Inclusive allows great selection of goods and services to be bought and sold. While an exclusive one restricts the ability for growth and pushes it into a decline.

QT and GTK are both good examples of this. QT has better multi-OS support than GTK. QT is inclusive and GTK is exclusive with only really being focused on Linux support. If one of my requirements for application development is needing to support more than Linux, QT would be my GOTO for framework usage. If my requirement is to only support Linux than GTK would be my GOTO, but this would limit my ability to possible expand and support other operating systems.

Now rephrase QT and GTK with Brazil and Afghanistan, which one is built on inclusion and which is built on exclusion? Which of the two are more social diverse? Which of the two have a stronger economy?

If you infer what I just stated as a negative towards GNOME, you are incorrect. It relates to the negativity to diversity, a weak social and economical environment. No different if I stop consuming publications about Intel product changes and only consume AMD. I will loose out on knowledge that can benefit me and others around me.

Proper implementation is always the hardest thing to get right and often requires a lot of refactoring / pivoting.

Not in tech, so there's nothing ironic, just pure statistics at work.

Almost nobody goes out of their way to hire white people specifically. They do because they're qualified. It's not their fault the others suck at tech or whatever else needed. Get over it.

This has been shown false in so many studies, you have no clue what yuo are talking about.

I don't understand what being transgender has to do with open source / free software...

That's not surprising at the least. There are a lot of transgendered people in FOSS and who work with computers in general. The overlap of people with well paying jobs and people who can afford transgender surgery seems obvious to me.

The actual connection is that the rate of autism is higher in software development than in other fields because people with autism have a much higher interest in things. Autism has more social anxiety, self-regulation and social issues, meaning they have trouble fitting in, and that sets them up for acceptance within the gender cult.

There's a few pathways, I'll give you two of them:
1. "I am constantly social anxious", "your anxiety is gender dysphoria" --> you're trans (is accepted by gender cult)
2. Porn addicted --> stops working as well, needs more exotic content --> cuckhold/sissy pron --> AGP --> you're trans (is accepted by gender cult)

Lunduke is exhausting to argue against because he is genuinely a very good writer.
But he also makes up a bunch of supporting elements, misrepresents a bunch of stuff and is generally an asshole to people who dont agree with him.

Also all his coverage is extremely tainted by politics.

The reason why Lunduke covers these topics is because politics has already tainted other news. That's actually what a journalist is supposed to do - write down what people are doing and saying that other people don't know about.

Lunduke likes "cool things" and at the moment there is a particular group of people who keep destroying their cool things in order to meet some sort of woke purity test.

I think you should look at the developers that actually develop Gnome and the Gnome foundation as completely separate entities.
The developers backed by RedHat actually do something useful, while the gnome foundation seems to be another entity to funnel money to useless people promoting dei nonsense.

Ah, going the Mozilla route I see. That's a huge shame.

Yeah. blocking communication is the right way to gain the trust of the community. Works like last time.
