Did you even read my comment? This has nothing to do with personal preference. It’s a matter of defending a shared commons from a hostile force. Sure, an individual gnome user can coexist with an individual kde user, like seriously who cares its just a DE. But as a community, users of other DEs, WMs and compositors can only “coexist” with the gnome project in the same way that a population of humans can “coexist” with the COVID-19 virus

It’s never about the DE’s themselves, it’s about the devs.
KDE’s devs are just focused on making a cool desktop environment with many features. It’s a little buggy and has some weird design decisions, but whatever, no biggie.
GNOME devs deliberately sabbotage existing linux standards in attemps to take control over desktop linux. Examples: client-side decorations, client-side shadows, systray fiasco.
This is not a question of personal preference. It’s a question of keeping desktop linux free, fair, and accessible for everyone.

If you really want to piss people off, try adding “…and animals” to the list of things you care about.
When people say that they are “anti-DEI” in the US, they mean that they want a society where the only people with power are white, protestant men.

Is it really that implausible that some people really do just want to have diversity, inclusion, and equity the “old way” by simply giving everyone an equal opportunity to participate instead of embracing DEI ideology? It’s a huge leap in logic to just assume that anyone who doesn’t subscribe to some specific ideology that claims to be tolerant must secretly be opposed to tolerance itself. I think all of those people yelling “nazi” at anyone remotely critical of DEI are just projecting.
renzev@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•In September 2024, "Ty Coon" was replaced with "Moe Ghoul" in the official text file for GPL v2, without changing the version number or URL.1·20 days agoJesus christ people in the comments here are pathetic. This clearly has nothing to do with racial slurs or otaku culture. It’s a play on the totally normal english word “tycoon” which just means “very rich businessman” and “mogul” which is a synonym for “magnate”. You can look these up, every half-decent dictionary has these words. They probably changed it because “coon” is a slur for black people and they didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings. If any of this offends you, please, please just step outside, touch some grass, take a deep breath, relax.
