So it looks like the woke FOSS crowd has taken notice of OpenMandriva and is boycotting a FOSDEM event that the OpenMandriva co-founder is holding. I'm not familiar with FOSDEM so I don't know if they could get them kicked out of the convention entirely, but I expect these parasites to try to kick them out of as many FOSS spaces as possible.

@xianc78 troon ops 2

@PurpCat What was the first one?

@xianc78 hyprland

@PurpCat Oh that. I think this is different because this is an actual "professional" project run by a non-profit organization with a president going by his real name.

@xianc78 On one hand nobody was even giving two shits and a fuck about OpenMandriva before this. Just look at the SourceForge metrics. Most people running Linux are going to run the same 4 distros everyone else runs.

On the other hand, I love seeing the LGBT community and how much they have a persecution complex when they are not catered to at every whim. But these are the people who will kill themselves when they don't get their way, so...

@PurpCat What really perked my interest was not their anti-woke stance, but rather there stance on being independent form Big-Tech as much as possible. Case in point, they bundle Ungoogled-Chromium as the default browser instead of vanilla Firefox like every other distro does. Granted, it's not a perfect solution since it's still reliant on Chromium's upstream, but still. If LadyBird becomes a viable alternative, I picture them switching to that instead.
