RE: XLibre in Debian

here is my opinion /as a random cat living in the wires of the internet/:

xlibre has a long history of toxicity, harassment by the fan base, and project manager and other right wing pundits using it as a proxy in culture war and/or scoring political points

it is not a software project, it is a pr campaign

campaign in which debian should not participate in, and ideology of which goes against everything debian stands for, and endangers wellbeing of debian developers and users, especially marginalised one and their allies

xlibre has deb repository /it is extremely easy to look it up/ - and that should be the end of story - debian did not ban or exclude xlibre from operating system - anyone can use it, if they wish to

the technical side of things does not matter here - good software is not just good code - it is also an ecosystem(?) of diverse community and non toxic environment - soft skills if you wish - and however good code is - it is worth nothing if it is fueled by hatred campaign - making maintenance detrimental to wellbeing of other people, where toxic fan base and right wing pundits monitoring any wrong word that is said about project

and as someone who wants to still use xserver on my machine - this isn't it, chief - this is how all chances on getting x to life another day are going to die: 'cause desires and efforts of trying to improve x somewhat will be met with association with extreme bigotry and hate campaigns /and incompetence/

begrudgingly, #random #left #nb
