Suckless sucks
Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
This isn't my first time finding out about suckless.org. I remember browsing their site a few years ago when I first got interested in linux and being confused about the explicitly elitist, anti-novice stance. There is of course an element of personal offense in this, but I also think that the stratification between programmers and infrastructure-providers on the one hand and (non-technical) users on the other is a very real problem for a free and democratic society.
There is a part to this that's just plain old division of labor. There are programmers and technicians and there are people who depend on their work, but this is the same for farmers and kindergarden teachers and doctors. The big difference is that programmers have control over the flow of information, about the way we communicate. And as a McLuhanite, maybe even more so as a Luhmannite, I strongly believe that society is communication, so programmers (and obviously, maybe even more so the conglomerates these programmers work for) essentially control society itself.
It creates an obvious power-imbalance and gives a group of people control over everyone else. The talk about digital feudalism originates right here, because in feudal societies there also was a small elite of people speaking in a magic language, thereby controlling everyone else. Widespread literacy led to the breakdown of this divide between initiated and outsiders, but today this difference returns.
Also I would argue that this experience of power over other people and it's loss through the democratization of the web in the late 90s and early 00s is what brought us authoritarian, right-wing silicon-valley ideologues like Yarvin …
There is another path that can be taken after recognizing the power programmers hold, which is one the free-software-movement and organizations like the CCC in Germany follow: acknowledging your power and trying to use it for good (whatever that could be). This includes not reinforcing the imbalance of power between technical and non-technical people, instead educating those who want to learn. The barrier of entry to programming, web-design, community-radio etc. can only be lowered so far, people have to want to participate. But when they want to learn, why wouldn't you make that possible?
Computers, the internet (weird and old protocols, too) should be usable for everyone. That's why wordpress is great, thats why services like neocities and nekoweb are amazing. Software should be inclusive, even if that means it has to suck a little.
