DEI = Not political Anti-DEI = Political That’s not a fair standard. Both are politics.

I'm not sure I agree, a DEI policy could easily be about de-politicizing a work place by e.g. cracking down on racially insensitive jokes.

Whereas anti-DEI is all about politicizing people's race or gender or whatever.

Using the term "woke mind virus" unironically is also a marker for a specific ideology...

DEI is no longer in vogue (or a thing) thanks to 10/7. Its former backers are funding the White House ballroom right now.

What's 10/7?

I believe they mean the Hamas attacks against Israel on Oct 10, and are pinning Trump's reelection on that, and drawing a thread from there to the whole "woke is dead" thing that followed, e.g. Zuckerberg going on Joe Rogan and trying to present himself as masculine and anti woke now, some companies ending DEI policies, that sort of thing.

Writing all those delusions and not connecting the dots is insightful.. You are so pampered in your own little delusion that don't seem to understand the actual concept of real discrimination. And looking at your socials, I understand why, you don't look like someone who has ever experienced real discrimination and just hissy fit about any hurt feelings as "discrimination".

Yeah, congratulation for having a normal life of suffering, you are not the only one. Doesn't answer the question why you are still so ignorant about the suffering of others and live in that a delusion of internet having been some kind of pink pony farm.

What does October 7th (is that what you mean?) have to do with DEI?

Both being for or against DEI is a marker of specific ideologies. I would argue being against is less indicative because the position is more free and less driven by bias but thats just like my opinion man.

The problem is: * The people who make XFree86/Xorg, GNOME and KDE are all part of the same FreeDesktop.Org club. They have a (not so) secret plan to completely ditch X11 and replace it with the thing they've been dicking about with for 17 years: Wayland. * Wayland's still nowhere near X11 replacement quality, and in several cases, they actually think they've done you a solid by taking away useful things X11 can do, l…

Had nothing but problems with xorg every time I tried linux desktop. Screen tearing by default on every install was a given.

x11 is nowhere near replacement for wayland. It's great that people will maintain it themselves instead of relying on others.

You think like this because you have the privilege of not being affected by discrimination. It's not enough to "not be a racist". You are being downvoted because of this, and thinking everyone but you is immature for this conversation just highlights this.

> the main reason I liked computers was because we were all equals on the internet

You must have had access to a different internet than I did. That is not and has never been true.

The only way for everyone to be 'equal on the internet' (whatever that means) is to throw away or disregard everything that makes each of us unique, and all that leaves us with is a homogeneous beige sludge.
