Good to know some people are still working on X.
Git repo for those who're interested
Is it though?
Hmm
Welp
Seriously though, fuck this guy and his project. Refuse to support it. In fact, use an alt account to introduce subtle bugs and flaws to the codebase if you can. It’s always a good day to fuck with Nazis. And this right here is a project run by a Nazi.
Edit: if anyone dares to whinge about “getting political” with my comment in this community: this is a screencap of the fucking
README.MD
. It’s an inherently, overtly political commentary in the project that’s clearly friendly to an authoritarian regime. Fuck all that noise.What? You might want to think about what you said for like 2 more seconds. Why on earth would I not hate or even help someone who aligns themselves with a Nazi? You can absolutely hate the creation of a tool based on the political reasons it is being created.
I don't need a project to explicitly say they are DEI inclusive, I generally don't care who is contributing, but when you explicitly state you are against it in the README of your project that is just wild. The only divide I'm increasing by saying I don't support or respect people who choose to, and makes it very clear they are, excluding people based on diversity is a divide they've created for themselves. Especially when it's a fucking open source software project, like wtf does DEI have to do with it that the owner has to bring it up to begin with if not to intentionally hurt someone.
It's called a dogwhistle: they're letting other racist scumbags know that they are also racist scumbags and that their racist scumbag views are welcome, without saying anything overtly racist scumbag-y.
