@ube You can work and make games for me and my studio....if I can ever afford to hire employees.

@beardalaxy Is there an inverse of that because I'm a biological male who lacks an Adam's apple.

Honestly, if Drew DeVault made a list of people/organizations who genuinely pose a threat to FOSS (e.g scams/grifters like Mozilla, Cannonical, RedHat, Purism, etc), I would have no problem with that, but no. He had to make a list about people who said <insert even remotely RW idea here>.

I remember the days when the number one way to trigger a FOSS dev was to call the movement "marxist"/"communist", but it seems like some have unironically embraced this accusation and will cancel anyone who says otherwise.

@Spooke Before Drew was even relevant in the FOSS community, he was already infamous on calculator forums for being a closed-minded narcissist who demanded certain threads to be locked and certain users banned (and not even for political reasons). And on one forum he was a moderator on, he shut down their IRC channel and deleted a thread about someone else's calculator language because he couldn't win an argument against someone.

I don't know why anyone would ever take this guy seriously. It seems like he just wants the FOSS community to cater to him and he is just using woke leftism as a smoke screen. Either that or he is secretly being paid by Big Tech to destroy the FOSS community from within by creating pointless drama.

@Spooke It's Drew DeVault creating a massive hit-list of FOSS people he doesn't like.

@PurpCat Now that I think about it, they would just fully embrace the Suckless community since they are anti-woke and are even more autistic than the rest of the FOSS community.

@PurpCat All of this makes me wish that 8/tech/ was still around and active as it was 10 years ago. I wonder what they would think about the current state of FOSS.

@bonifartius His service has been hacked before and it is notorious for having long down times once in a while. I would not recommend it outside of throw away accounts.

@djsumdog I'm actually surprised that there are people that are NOT on there, but in case this guy is reading my posts, I'm not going to say who.

Imagine thinking that the incompetent email server maintainer is somehow a threat to FOSS.

I'm sick of these Europoor retro gamers gushing about their love and nostalgia for games on platforms like the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Amiga. Constantly, bragging about growing up with true hidden gems and how they had it better than American (and Japanese) gamers.

No. The games you grew up with are fucking shit. I'm sorry. There may have been a few hidden gems, but nobody outside of 50 hertz-land is nostalgic for single screen puzzle platformers for computers that can only display single color sprites and make far noises.

There is a good reason why American gamers are into Japanese imports instead of European imports. Japanese games still have a pick-up and play mentality (outside of tactical-RPGs). Retro-European games have an anything goes mentality.That's why they're nostalgic for unique and complex shit like Lemmings and Populous, or it's just some shovelware platformer/adventure game hybrid because "we have no idea what we are doing".

The idea that they think Americans would be envious of them just baffles me.

I wonder what 8/tech/ would think about the current state of FOSS.
