<div dir="ltr">And that was my point. Why is anything concerning the software you choose to use or contribute to politicized in any way? That's just stupid. If someone doesn't like systemd (and there's many here that don't) why are they undesirables, politically or otherwise? Everybody has their own preference, and those preferences have absolutely nothing to do with "red/blue" bullshit. I don't think ideology should be extrapolated or be the basis for what software one prefers. That's just looney-tunez. That's all I have to say about it.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 1, 2025 at 3:48 PM Chuck Payne via Ale <<a href="mailto:ale@ale.org">ale@ale.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">James, <div><br></div><div>X.org forked to become Xlibre and they are patching a ton of bugs.
