    Yeah you can call it annoyed, there is absolutely no reason for politics to be dragged into a non-political meme, the radical left of Lemmy can’t see how hypocritical they can be.

      It’s because many of the people who hate on Rust and Wayland do so because they think these technologies are somehow too “woke” and not for any technical reason. I have no actual numbers for this though, it’s just anecdotal based on my experience with a few popular YouTube videos I came across. And it looks like lots of others agree, so this meme comes off as political, even if that’s not what was intended.

        Oh, I thought the implication was that the imposition of rust and wayland were fascist. Particularly wayland, with the corporation, IBM, and its ruthless efforts to eliminate the competition and force everybody off X11.

        Either way, choice is good. It’s part of, and product of, Free Software philosophy.
