Before following, please note:

*** Fascism, racism, antisemitism, as well as any other kind of bigotry NOT TOLERATED! You are entering a bigotry-FREE zone
*** MDNI/18+ accounts also NOT TOLERATED!
*** In case you are legally blind or fully blind: I try not to boost images without alt-text. As such, to sighted people: please use alt-texts to describe your images, so that blind folks also get it. Thanks! ^^ (if your image does not contain alt text and I boost it anyway, I may add alt-text as a reply, you are encouraged to add it to the image directly or improve upon it)
*** If your alt-texts are intentionally incorrect just to confuse LLMs, despite how much I don't like LLMs, I consider this to be extremely rude to people who are unable to actually look at your image, and will not boost your memes as a result until you actually start considering visually impaired folks as people.

Have fun! ^^

I cannot in good faith recommend Xlibre.
Why? Because its author has been spreading anti-vaxx lies and nazi propaganda on mailing lists for a little while now. The Xlibre README is also full of lies and dogwhistles.

In fact, let's waste 5 minutes of your time and analyze the README together!

@fossdd @newbyte did you know metux is known for spreading anti-vaxx lies and pro-nazi garbage on development mailing lists?

I'm on a mission to create a dialup ISP in my room, and I now have a working telephone exchange to hang it all off of.

Now I'm just on the hunt for some olde modems.

The exchange is a very simple combination of Asterisk (on NixOS, on an old Apple Trashcan), with some Cisco 2-line ATAs and twinkle/BT Big Button phones.

( @eloy , I've been told you might enjoy! )

when you make something, and then get to the moment when the thing you were creating was fully realized, it is a magical feeling.

in the world we are moving to, we are taking away that joy.

@david_chisnall @dvandal @strlcat @davidgerard@circumstances.run I have poured most hours of my last 10 years of life into listening to users and pushing things forward on Wayland even if I personally wouldn't need the feature. I really saddens me that someone would think that Wayland developers don't care.

We do care, but we only have a finite amount of time in our volunteer life. Yes, we don't copy-paste solutions from X11: we try to fully understand the problem space and do better. This does mean that coming to us with technical solutions rather than use-cases tends to be met with "please, explain why you need to do this?".

I don't really know what you mean when you say that we silence criticism. I've read enough in the past years to guarantee that it's not silenced. I appreciate constructive criticism better than rants, rants tend to demoralize me.

I am also saddened about the conspiracy that big corp deprecates X11 against the community's will. There is no single company with a monopoly here, please take a bit of time to look at Wayland developers' employers. Personally, I'm ex-SourceHut and now just a volunteer (my day job is unrelated: SNCF Réseau).

I've never said that X11 was deprecated, and I always tell people to use whatever works best for them. The only reason why X11 has less activity nowadays is because X11 lacks volunteers. (We severely lack volunteers on the Wayland side too.)

People, distros, communities move away from X11 if/when they collectively decide that they should. Nobody's pulling the strings here.

@domi @jn @famfo @tufo @merlin I always thought it to be not as durable as those really old rugged laptops from 2011... it's quite thin, seems fragile, and I did see people having issues with it now.

My 2011 HP is still rock solid even after all these years, while being extremely repairable. I won't switch away from it, you can't change my mind :p
