OP, the far-right dipshit who forked to XLibre is so inept that he thought the XOR operator in C was for exponentiation – something one semester in undergrad CS would clear up. Cool your fucking jets and go cope somewhere else.
Might happen to someone juggling different programming languages all day. Tells a lot about his skill level of course, but we’ve all been beginners. I’m more concerned about the apparent lack of unit tests.
I can say with confidence that I have not – ever in my life – attempted to not just contribute to but be the primary maintainer of such a complex, low-level, crucial piece of software when I was that much of a beginner. And their GitHub bio reads "Old Linux hacker and kernel maintainer. Xorg developer, Xlibre founder/maintainer".
Keep in mind here that "Xorg developer" means "came in, pushed dozens of shoddy patches that are now being reevaluated for how fucking trash they were, acted like a petulant little bitch when confronted about my lack of quality, and turned it into a conspiracy theory". They do not get the benefit of the doubt. They are a moron who doesn't know the basics of C.
In that case, yes, not knowing what ^ does in C is fucking embarrassing.
