Jazzynupe<p>All I will say it's good that Xorg updates are coming. Touting "anti-DEI" is not a flex. Actually an opposite effect on what you are trying to achieve. Being anti-DEI says more about your views than anything else. As long as the code is good though it should be shared if desired. </p><p>Anyway glad to see much needed changes coming.

Ricardo Martín<p>As much as I’d love to see a fork of X11/Xorg, I wouldn’t want it *at any cost*, and even less so led by an anti-vaxxer and anti-DEI who has chosen a fascist-leaning tech dude who’s all about drama and hype, to do the PR 🤦‍♂️ </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xorg</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/XLibre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XLibre</span></a></p>
