    Lol, if we start excluding tech based on the inventors mental illnesses we are gonna end up bashing rocks together to make fire.

    Edit: To be clear, I am not saying that being trans is a mental illness, only refuting that mental illness is not a reason to discard ones contributions. Apologies for any offence.

          So do you also think it is a mental illness, or are you just being a middle school edgelord?

            The original post referred to it as a mental illness, and claimed that was a reason to ignore their contribution. I was simply pointing out the silliness of that logic. I dont think its a mental illness, amd I have absolutely no problem with the trans community.

              There are many, many ways you could have done that without repeating the bigoted belief that being trans is supposedly a mental illness.

                I didnt say anything about trans people in my original comment, and deliberately didnt quote the original post as its language disgusts me. Again, sorry for any offence caused, it was not intentional.

                  So why did you repeat the "mental illness" part?

                  If you really mean what you're saying just take the L this one time and move on.

      It's so easy to be called *phobic these days. It reminds of those relationships in which people feel like they are walking on eggshells.

    Wayland fixes VRR, mixed refresh rate display setups, screen tearing, X11 security bugs AND makes bigots mad? Sign me up! :-)

    I remember back when I thought all FOSS was part of the FSF, and that itself was formed of hippie liberal progressives. Had a rude awakening when I found about the MIT vs GPL rift, and then another on HN when I realised half the people in software were just there to make money.

      I had a period where I didn't really understand the GPL or what it was trying to do. All I knew is that it was ""viral"" (whatever the hell that meant!) and that, supposedly, trying to use it would forever bind you and your creation to who knows what unforeseen legal horrors. I mean, look how long it is! It's frightening! I wanted absolutely nothing to do with it at first.

      Then I got a clue and actually read it. It's quite straightforward. For almost all serves and purposes it's basically just MIT plus copyleft. All the legal density is just an effort to squash every conceivable loophole to the copyleft directive. I'm no longer afraid of it, I think it's pretty cool.

      The thing I want to know now is why so many projects think their shit don't stink and that they need to pollute the FOSS ecosystem with their own stupid permissive license that is functionally identical to the MIT license.

    I only read the first comment and the use of a slur and deep transphobic talking points made me stop reading the rest.

    As a trans woman myself... thanks for all this non transphobia in this comment thread <333
