@vkc It's certainly been a breath of fresh air as fashtech projects getting boosted are starting to feel like heads on a hydra.

Surprise: I'm supportive of queer folks.

If you don't like it, hit the bricks.

@danirabbit I wonder what the Nvidia users of Maxwell & Pascal will have to do because Nvidia isn't supportinf them anymore and Nouveau doesn't support them... :(

I'm not on that era, but those generations look screwed...

@jenny753 Yes X is dead. We shipped our Wayland session in OS 8. 8.1 will be Wayland by default. OS 9 will be Wayland only

@kubuntufocus you know when the first thing I read is "when Microsoft introduced virtual desktops" at a point where any sane Grahical User Interface had 'em.

#Mozilla choosing to kill embeddable Gecko (make it a #Firefox only engine, essentially) over a decade ago was such a tragic mistake.

I appreciate you for keeping AerynOS in the conversation for interesting new things ❤️

Maybe we should not pin the hopes of the future of the commons to somebody who’s going to enclose it.

Just a thought.

Novel thought: maybe Moz is just a bad company that had more money than skill, just like Netscape. Maybe web browser engines should not be left to companies.
