The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

I think the problem is that you have to prove that you wrote your
replacement without looking at the sources, just using the interface
documentation. And since qt sources are easily available...

Some suggested to support GTk instead of GNOME. But one should not
forget that most of the current development of GTk nowadays is (due to
| is done) by GNOME. So helping GNOME *is* helping GTk.
