What is far-right software?

Codeberg is fighting far-right forces and declared themselves political.

That's very interesting for a GitHub alternative.

Ever seen far-right software? I wonder who those forces are.

I always thought that the average dev would be too smart for polarisation and that it did not really would work in our world. But let's face it, a lot of normies joined the space and we get their normie problems.

Ah, found out why xlibre is far right. What bastards. They fucking accept everyone regardless of political beliefs. Bastards!!! /s

AI can be far right, it's when you add that pinch of salt that changes everything.

I've read the Codeberg blogpost on LLMs. I can understand where they are coming from too and even agree with some of it.

As far as xlibre, it's amazing. I've been running it on two different machines for months. There's really no reason to ever switch to Wayland since xlibre started. The great irony of all these far leftist/cat-fem-boi types with their programming socks is that by pushing Wayland, they're pushing the big corpo-shit IBM/Redhat instead of the small, independent true grassroots xlibre project just because xlibre refuses to be political.

As fun irony, I use forgejo (what powers codeberg) to host all my LLM generated slop:

https://forge.sumit.im/djsumdog/

I also ran into this src.rpm issue in their package repo:

https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/12840

I thought about submitting patches, but they have a strict no-LLM policy an their package repo API kinda sucks anyway, so I think I'm going to just used Pulp instead: https://pulpproject.org/

Pulp's UI is practically non existent and their documentation is god awful, but the LLMs can make sense of all of it and have helped make migration and setup scripts, and I might use them to create a new UI too.

I already ranted here about their non llm policy. Very conversatie for such progressive organisation. The package publishing from gitea / forge sucks indeed. Maybe the only lesser part.

x11 is amazing, don't need xlibre (that's very new uh?), wayland kinda sucks, it's all opaque structures.

My own wm is built on x11, so I am locked. I just use the x11 Linux comes with, because I literally don't care about the political background of creators. But I wish them all the professional help they need ๐Ÿ˜.

I wouldn't have bothered but I was getting frequent lockups and crashes on amdgpu when running ROCm stuff. That was all fixed with xlibre, as well as some long standing dmps bugs. ๐Ÿคท

yeah exactly. It's all nazi bullshit.

X11 is the only way. God's very own graphic manager.

What the actual fuck. How did forge get mixed in this Gitea stuff?

The opposite of near-wrong software.

> 'What is far-right software'.

Isn't that the Japanese software? Crikey, mate. It could also mean the Australian software.

xlibre cunts are ubercunts anyway. And so are these idiots for wayland. If i was in charge i would send them in gulag with the idiots still burning gasoline, people who like Brussel's waffles and every kind of germans (the french, flemmish, english, swiss, danes).

Caucasians should go back to the caucasus
