I absolutely boycott and deride products and services that benefit or promote people and/or organizations that are anti human rights. That’s not negotiable for me.

However, what I see here are some loud assholes who make a derivative from Devuan (not Devuan itself) and some forum admins with questionable moderation policies in a forum I have never visited. I also don’t see why I should care one way or the other what some cretin like Brian Lunduke (who I only learned about recently) has to say about anything at all.

Even so my use of Devuan only costs the project, without any benefit to them whatsoever.

In short, I refuse to enrich or amplify terrible people. But I will not let terrible people burn down useful open-source infrastructure just by standing near it.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to use Devuan, a project that ships a Debian derivative without Systemd? I can’t imagine a debian install will work right be straightforward to manage and maintain with systemd ripped out of it.

That is, instead of resorting to flatpaks and things of the like, why don’t we expose a way for libraries to express version information dynamically and just have those versions available and the dependant application can check if what it needs is available and just use that?

Isn’t that how a LIBRARY_PATH works?
