This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

  • Fascists and Nazis
  • Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
  • “Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
  • A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.

    Keyboards send commands through drivers. There is no 3rd party software reading it out.

      Autokey is software written by someone.

      Drivers are software written by someone.

      Have you vetted every line of code running on your computer?

        Not sure if you understand threat models.

            I’m sorry miss but I’m not sure if you understand threat models.
