      He’s someone that was a developer for Netscape and Firefox. I used to follow him but stopped doing so and now I find him quite annoying, haha

      I agree with him in many things but he’s always replying people like he’s better than everyone which makes me think he must be a very shitty boss considering he’s the owner of a club.

        Also got the same impression back when I used XScreenSaver from jwz. I looked in to customizing the logo shown on the login dialog and some of the screensavers, only to find a rather preachy write-up on the advantages of XScreenSaver and a very stubborn affirmation that the logo is hard-coded and should not be changed because it is the identity of the program or something.

          Oh yeah, the Debian vs. JWZ XScreenSaver spat, that was royally stupid and led me to stop using it altogether

        “Insufferable ass” doesn’t begin to summarize my experiences with him. But he’s been right about a lot of things.
