I would say, finally, in an era of bitter political struggle even in the free software world, finally we see a good humoured hacker joke again

    I am not involved in the Ladybird project, do not really follow the development or the community thereof in any close fashion, so i do not want to take any sides here. What i can say for sure after spending ~ 30 years online is, that the net often amplifies drama beyond any rational measure… so, until i find the time and energy to look into that (unlikely) i will stay with a neutral “oookay…”

      As someone who has been online since the late 80’s (BBS) and early 90’s (internet), I’m well aware of how things can be amplified.

      However, this does not require in-depth review. These are things you can discover with a cursory search that would have taken less time than writing that comment, FYI. I don’t think anyone is sitting here suggesting Kling has grand plans for a gassing center, just that he promotes far right conspiracy theories and other hard-right ideology. This is a simple, easily verifiable statement.

      i will stay with a neutral “oookay….”

      Just so you know, this can come across condescending. I’m not going to say that was your intention, but that is absolutely how it would be read.

        Just to clarify: It is not meant that way, it is meant as an “Okay, i understand what you say but i will take anything i read online with a truckload of salt - no offense”
