a whole class of the old computers i like will become infinitely less usable under linux in particular the moment toolkits stop supporting X, and this is a genuine problem that should be taken seriously instead of saying "you should just buy shiny new AI-enabled razor thin bendable NPU thing and encourage the bastards ruining tech and just use wayland bro"

@wyatt you're comparing wayland to fascist tech-bros pushing AI?
@20000lbs_of_Cheese no, i'm saying buying a new computer because your old ones no longer work due to their old GPU's not working with wayland compositors is in fact feeding money to companies hyping AI and boiling the oceans and generating e-waste
@wyatt You know you don't need a new computer right?
@20000lbs_of_Cheese I need something that's not a powerbook G4 or latitude D610
@wyatt Go for it then, nothing stopping ya

@20000lbs_of_Cheese "it's a free market bro just opt not do use it bro, surely the world moving on won't force you bro, this is free software bro, patches are welcome except really they aren't because we gatekeep and are opinionated about what The Future means bro" (gnome developer mentality has a zero tolerance policy where I am concerned)
@wyatt I'm confused, what does gnome have to do with it?
@20000lbs_of_Cheese it's the mentality of "nobody's stopping you, just ignore that we have a stranglehold on the software your desktop is built on and that our opinions are fundamentally incompatible with yours"
It's the unempathetic mindset i see in GNOME developers

@wyatt you're comparing the choices of software maintainers to actual fascists. Why do that?
@20000lbs_of_Cheese @wyatt you misunderstood the first post, re-read it and try again. you have read in a comparison that was not made
