@majorlinux sidenote, "reactionary" is not a good word to describe disliking 1 new thing (regardless of the fact we have good reasons to dislike GenAI as it currently stands).

It means either:
- in a political sense: one who defends the current structures of power and the current socioeconomic system
- in a general sense: one who tends to act negatively towards new things in general by virtue of them being new

@itsfoss you even take sponsorships from Warp, which is yet again proprietary slopware. Consider renaming to "It's SLOP".

@itsfoss

Why does "It's FOSS" promote proprietary software?

And not just proprietary, there are significant hints that Orion is vibecoded.

@tragivictoria @navi @tulilirockz "reactionary" doesn't mean you dislike some new things, it means you're a staunch defender of the status quo, usually in a cultural or sociopolitical context...

People can have legitimate criticism of some tech that is relatively new (tho it's been more than a decade for the ones we're discussing). It's not a good thing to slap a negative political label on anyone who has criticism (right or wrong) towards these technologies.

In the case of init systems for examples, take out the rightwing Devuan and Artix which don't even maintain the init systems and are relatively small; you have Alpine, Gentoo, Adelie, etc., which are more relevant and are welcoming or at least unproblematic.

These are large, well moderated communities, with no major connections to right-wing politics.

Same reasoning can be applied to GTK3 vs GTK4, or to people who criticize some FDO components...
