  • How is “Unix philosophy” even remotely connected to the philosophy behind free software? Unix itself was proprietary. These are completely separate things.

    “Stay on windows or mac”

    And what if I don’t? I have the freedom to use Linux however I want, and with whatever display server I want, granted to me by GPLv2.

    “What you’re doing is defending corporate funded software”

    Do you even realize just how much funding and support Linux kernel itself receives from various multi-billion corporations? If that’s a bad thing in your book, I suggest you look into BSD, but even that gets a bit of funding from them.

    “designed with malicious intent”

    You have yet to provide an proof for that. What’s their malicious intent exactly? Just creating an FLOSS modern alternative that people are free to use or avoid?

    How exactly is this a meme? This is just bitching about stuff. And no Wayland isn’t a mistake. Maybe it is to you luddites who can’t move on from your Unix religion, but for the majority, Wayland brings tons of new features and improvements over X11. I mean X11 still has it’s uses, but it doesn’t mean Wayland just shouldn’t exist. Still if you wanna bitch about it go on. You are free to do so like distros are free to move away from X11. But at least don’t do it in a meme community.












  • “I’m sure everyone is familiar with invasive plants taking over an area and turning it into a monoculture”

    They’re “invasive” because humans brought them into new ecosystems where they shouldn’t be in the first place. Plants (and animals) just don’t just go around invading other ecosystems afaik.

    Also, elephants taking down trees, they’re (mostly) supposed to do that. It plays a vital role in the ecosystem too. Elephants taking down large trees makes it easier for smaller plants to grow, making the ecosystem more diverse. Also these trees and the elephants have co-evolved for centuries, so I they know how to live with eachother and can probably do that for years to come.

    Also, that’s besides the point. Other animals aren’t as conscious as us. We are not just following instincts the same way as them. We know stuff we’re doing is destroying the planet, yet we continue because $$$
