The words "You don't get to own Program" should never, ever, ever be uttered by an organization supposedly dedicated to Free Software.This is yet another gigantic mask-off moment for Red Hat Inc. and the GNOME foundation, it should be a wakeup call to every computer user and yet the corporate shot heard 'round the world is yet again ignored.Please spread this. FreeDesktop wants you and the tools you rely on for your day-to-day zombified and then dead.

@bonkmaykr this was never a secret. It was obvious to everyone. "No one's contributing!". Obviously gatekept. A hostile fork was inevitable. Eventually someone is going to hack in HDR or something, because they *need* it. What will the foundation do then? Probably not merge.

"It's OK when we're fascists" folks always be this way. They want to force people down their railroad tracks and ban cars and planes. They've been like this for years.

I asked about their HDR support and got nothing back. Fuck maybe some of us old game devs should offer to help them finish it up if that's the issue. Wayland didn't even consider basic user needs, and was conceived as a toy project by all accounts. With HDR support an Xorg fork could kill off wayland.

@bonkmaykr Really respectful of those that came before, and of how Xorg (And X from where it was forked) powered countless WMs for decades :apuhammer:

@mitchconner @bonkmaykr XFree86 also died because they kicked out Keith from the board, now the Xorg foundation kicked the last active contributor. Everybody that was keeping at least some attention saw this from a mile away.

@bonkmaykr >we worked hard to kill itStill works better than Wayland on all my machines. The bar for shippable software has gone down considerably it seems.

@bonkmaykr RedHat blew up once they went enterprise grade. Nobody is surprised they're also going globohomo.

@idiot @bonkmaykr That's a ransom note quote. With context, your comment is obviously bogus:"This is yet another gigantic mask-off moment...."

@bonkmaykr These people think that even Wayland users like me who see some benefits in the design of their protocol will surely follow and listen what these people have to say, or at very least the way of how they behave like smells like that. I'm sorry, but when you're trying to deliberately block the development of x11 and ban user from freedesktop for having a courage to create a fork, then don't be surprised your approach for promoting free/libre software will be questioned.
