AH, GhostBSD decided to go through with their planned switch to the racist anti-DEI XOrg fork by default.
I am becoming convinced that at some-point we've fucked up #FLOSS as a community. It may have been a mistake to believe ethical computing's primary and chief emphasis should be compliance with the free software definition. When ethics in computing is such a multi variable problem in actuality.
AND now we're just struggling with the problems born of that thinking, all the damn time.
There is more free software than ever, you can't throw a rock in some places without hitting something running the linux kernel. However, so much of this ecosystem is devoid of real ethical values.
