  • Based on the README and that article, the founder sounds like he is deep into conspiracy theories and is an anti-vaccine MAGA person.

    Not to downplay the problems on xorg and I am happy it’s getting forked, but wtf is up with “No DEI” “Make X great again” in the README… Doesn’t convince me at all that this project is going to stay intact and upkept on the long term.

    Edit: added some words

    Edit2: yeah okay, he’s a complete nutjob and a shitty person. See link below









  • If it’s something that is not very popular/known I do actually look at the code, but never all of it.

    I check:

    • most recent commits
    • for something that might have been hidden before one of the releases
    • deeper into utility files
    • look for suspicious patterns in code that might be trying to hide something. Mostly for/in external network call related code

    This is of course very superficial and in general I try to avoid obscure projects that are not popular and well known.



  • Another awesome tip I’ve learned today, thanks! Yeah often I remember the actual day I typed a specific command but must manually scroll through. This is another useful tip. I don’t think I’ll completely let go of history since it’s also super convenient to just look up index and type !345 for example.
