    Unfortunately, forced arbitration clauses have been upheld by the Supreme Court. Which means you need to invalidate the contract to remove those terms.

    And, please, no historical revisionism trying to claim that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. The seceding states even put it down in writing that slavery was a prime reason for their secession.

    It is a non-issue. Thousands of people die every day due to not having enough money for food, medical care, etc. To go around pity trolling because you're wealthy is the worst sort of first-world problem imaginable. All the aforementioned people would have loved to hve the "stress" of being financially secure for life.

    How precisely would I eject them? You do realise I don't own the site, right?

    Fork it and maintain it yourself and make the current X.Org people irrelevant like they did to XFree86. Or you can sit back and criticize them while putting in no work of your own which means they can continue to write off your opinion.

    But your suggestion requires actually doing work rather than whining about work that someone else is doing. That's why none of the distros listen to these whiners since they aren't actual contributors.

    And since I know you'll complain about the list I posted above, simply make your own distro then. Or just leave Linux entirely. None of the distro makers have any obligation to care about your feelings about systemd when you aren't someone who puts in any work into maintaining the distro or financial supports it. You're just a whiner in the peanut gallery.

    Oh I understood everything. My point is, since you've definitely proven the Wayland developers as liars and incompetents then you're going to take over the maintenance, right? Why would you allow these incompetent liars to continue being the people running X.Org?

    Even if this weren't about "free software", the point still stands. Just because Random Tard #349834 dislike systemd that doesn't obligate any distro or individual developer to actually care. Nor does it obligate them to support this random tard's tantrum.

    The trouble with Wayland, or rather why I'm deeply suspicious of it is that some of the claims from the devs about wayland and X11---and bear in mind they're X11 devs too---are flat out wrong at best and deeply deveptive at worst. Why the need for a FUD attack? If Wayland is better it ought to win on merit, not FUD.

    Great. So you're going to take over the maintenance burden then, right? Or are you just going to whine and complain and expect that they should care?

    There are too many people running around, both in the systemd and Wayland camps who think that, because they don't do something or understand it, it just doesn't need to be done. Why don't we all take up a collection to buy them GameBoys or XBoxes and keep them away from important systems stuff?

    There are also too many people in the peanut gallery who feel that they are entitled to tell the developers of software what they should do while doing no work of their own.

    And meanwhile, X.org continues to work perfectly well for all the rest of us. So these devs are free to waste their time in whatever way they like. No problem of ours, at all.

    That's because people like Keith Packard still bother to do X.org development alongside their Wayland work. Good luck when Wayland gets to a point that all the people like him jump ship en masse. You whiners will finally have to put up or shut up.

    If (when?) they try and pull a systemd on us, on the other hand - then there will be words, and there will be forks. So do not get your hopes up, just yet. ;)

    Uh huh. I seriously doubt anyone like yourself will be able to maintain X.Org to any decent degree like its current maintainers. If so, you whiners would already be current developers not just peanut gallery members.
