schestowitz              <blockquote>Nov 18 08:12
schestowitz                <p>Luck is a combination of two factors: probability and time. Case in point, my foray with MX Linux MX-21 KDE. As you well know, I'm a great fan of this small yet feisty distro. So far, I've mostly tested (and liked) the Xfce flavors. My one quick brush with its KDE build was largely unsuccessful. In fact, with the release of MX-21 Wildflower, I wasn't even thinking of testing the KDE version.</p>Nov 18 08:12
schestowitz                <p>But then, as luck would have it, the official download page didn't have the Xfce release available for my Lenovo IdeaPad box. To be able to run on modern systems with UEFI, AMD Ryzen processors and NVMe, you need the AHS release - I discovered this with MX-19.3. However, at the time of writing, or rather testing, there was only the regular Xfce edition sans modern stuff, the Xfce AHS in almost-but-not-quite Release Candidate (4), Nov 18 08:12
schestowitzand the KDE version, with all the right bits in place! So I thought, let's go for it.</p></blockquote></li>Nov 18 08:12

schestowitzFrom the Debian diversity statementNov 18 08:55
schestowitzThe Debian Project welcomes and encourages participation by everyone.Nov 18 08:55
schestowitzBanning/censoring some volunteers appears to be incompatible with the diversity statement. Does Debian really care about diversity or is it just more diversitywashing?Nov 18 08:55
schestowitzNext time I attend a Debian event or join a Debian booth at an event like FOSDEM, I may well wear a t-shirt carrying the opening line of the diversity statement. If some people can't work with the rest of us, they should stay home rather than trying to intimidate people.Nov 18 08:55
schestowitzBlackmail volunteers for our time, our money and endorsement of the cultNov 18 08:55
schestowitzIt has all happened before too many times. MJ Ray writes about the scandal of the Debian UK Society in 2006. Said Society asserted that everybody was a member and that "members" who did not pay their tithes and obey the oligarchs would be publicly expelled.Nov 18 08:55
schestowitzMJ Ray: In June 2005, Ian Jackson chastised me for directing a UK donation away from Debian-UK Society (DUS), quoting a chunk of debian rulesNov 18 08:55
schestowitzForced membership under these terms is a close cousin of modern slaveryNov 18 08:55
