The purpose of a system is what it does, incompetents being put in power over you is maliciousness.

Kan absolut ein fake sein, doch das macht nicht, das nehm ich in Kauf.

Stefan Homburg hatte (hat?) ein Zitat vom Tagesspiegel als Motto auf seinem Twioter-Profil, das so ziemlich dasselbe ausgesagt hat.

„Homburg nennt solide Zahlen und zieht Schlüsse, die nur schwer zu widerlegen sind — und gerade das macht ihn so gefährlich.“

Das linke Grunddogma lautet "Gleichheit". Begründet mit "Gerechtigkeit". Wo "Gleichheit" herrscht, gibt es keine Freiheit. Da "Ungleiche" nicht geduldet werden.

You know, I wouldn't be so vocal about hating Wayland if everyone advocating for it weren't such dicks to basically everyone that otherwise might have been willing to made an effort to improve the software. “Oh, just don't do <thing that's important to you and worked just fine before> if you're having so many issues with it.” (including de facto saying: “try not needing accessibility features because we declared them as ‘out of scope’”) “Well, *I've* never had any issues running Wayland [written in a way implying you're lying to spread FUD].” “Just buy a better computer, your hardware that's under ten years old just can't handle modern software stacks.” “Fix it yourself, it's FOSS” (oh yeah, “Wayland is just a protocol, it's not software” if you complain about compositors in general, but “it's FOSS software you can improve yourself, not a rigid standard with a very small group of standardizers” if you complain about the protocol)

Made worse by the fact that they do it to literally everyone that has issues. Like I'm just an asshole so people can get upset at the way I word my criticisms, but everyone (including people filing well-done bug reports) inevitably get told some shit like that, albeit usually dressed up in prettier words when said in bug reports. It doesn't help that 50% of Wayland issues are incredibly setup-specific and impossible for others to reproduce (I almost wonder if it's deliberate) so it's really easy for people to say “well you must be outright lying and just want to slander our objectively perfect protocol”

And I know for a fact that despite my tangible technical issues with Wayland, the main reason I get so angry is the fact that 95% of the people that discuss it are jerks that dismiss your issues because one time when I was complaining about nonreproducible issues I couldn't realistically file bug reports for, and someone just said “I'm sorry you're having these issues, I wish I could help”, and I actually stopped being angry for a while (until another dick came in and had the helpful comment that they'd never had any issues on Wayland so I must be doing something wrong)

>NEWS 2023-06-21: The GMP servers has been under serious load due to a barrage of clone requests from Microsoft/Github. Github's setup encourages "forks" of their projects, and such forks then by default pull in parent project changes. Around 2023-06-15, a project known as FFmpeg decided that it would be a great idea to clone GMP in their CI scripts, meaning that every one of their commits requested a compressed clone from the GMP servers. But, by Github's design, hundreds of FFmpeg forks automatically followed suit, themselves cloning the GMP repo.

>In effect, Microsoft's computer cloud performed a DDoS attack on the GMP servers.

>After bringing up the issue here and on the GMP mailing lists, some Github brass replied, minimizing the issue and blaming our servers for the denial-of-service attack. They did not do anything to stop the attack! In fact, it is still ongoing a week later. Each clone takes about 10 CPU seconds on our server, each FFmpeg commit resulted in about 10 CPU hours of CPU on our side.

>Our servers are fully available again, but that's the result of us adding all participating Microsoft network ranges to our firewall. We understand that we are far from the first project to take such measures against Github.

You would think some dev on gh's side would have optimized this but noooo

In Germany we don’t say “work” we say “Warnstreik”
