Well-known developer Enrico Weigelt just forked the X server from freedesktop.org after getting the boot [0].

“Getting the boot” is rather vague. Is there any more information anywhere, background, &c.?

My general impression (quite possibly incorrect) was that X.Org Server is largely treated as “done”, making only bugfixes and such these days.

From the readme:

> That fork was necessary since toxic elements within Xorg projects, moles from certian big corp are boycotting any substantial work on Xorg, in order to destroy the project, to elimitate competition of their own products. (classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics)

> This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed.

Doesn't "DEI" basically mean treating others nicely?

The DEI in DEI actually means conformity of thought. It's oddly eugenical and does not foster "diverse ideas"

>>airhan+yV1
That is the exact opposite of what it means.

People with diverse thoughts are not allowed in with DEI, only diverse genetics. I think you don't understand the word "opposite" or .. "means"
