> If it were about making a choice of which web framework to use on the server, obviously you wouldn't want to use Lua.

Wait just a minute, there exist many web frameworks in lua, and programmers who enjoy lua might want to use them.

That's too bad, because I prefer software which looks like it was made in 1999.

Look at how conveniently you chose to ignore the fan's age, attributing his behaviour to unwilling or luddite! Or do you really have absolutely no idea, what it means to be 81 years old? Still, I would bet you have met at least some people of such an age.

> US-stored gold is not of the same quality grade as in the rest of the world

... to put it mildly. Nobody has audited the gold in decades and even its owners (banks of foreign countries) are not allowed to inspect it.

what we’ve actually created is an alternative Linux desktop that uses neither X nor Wayland, this is very welcome news, since X is allegedly "abandonware" and of course not everybody likes wayland.

But what about that meeting that starts with "how do you feel today?" and "if you were a car, what car would you be? And why?".

That is the whole point. Since decades, it has a single point of view, failing to represent the majority of the people.

Deming's point 3 (of 14): Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for massive inspection by building quality into the product in the first place.

Well, you'd think senior leadership should know how their business and their people work.

New comment by radiator in "An AI agent published a hit piece on me"

radiator — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 13:07:17 +0000

I don't follow why it flew out the window. To me it seems perfectly possible to define the community (of an open-source software project) as consisting only of people, and to also to define an etiquette which applies to their 'virtual' interactions. Important is that behind the internet-connected server, there be a human.

So perhaps the AI companies will go bankrupt and then this madness will stop. But it would be nice if no government intervenes because they are "too big to fail".

From your own quote

> participation in our community

community should mean a group of people. It seems you are interpreting it as a group of people or robots. Even if that were not obvious (it is), the following specialization and characteristics (regardless of age, body size ...) only apply to people anyway.
