Did you download some kind of "imageboard starter kit" torrent or something, Vox?

Reminder that Vox Day rage quit Gab.ai after he stated that "calling your opponents child molesters is a valid strategy" and he was trolled for weeks by users calling him a child molester. When the owner of Gab would not permaban the "trolls" Vox threatened to unleash his "dark army" upon Gab to destroy it. In the end Vox just quietly deleted his account and whines about now just whines about Gab's "trolling problem" in his youtube videos (in-between his constant boasting about his "high IQ" and shilling for garbage-tier "alt-right" comic books).

>>973258

>Did you download some kind of "imageboard starter kit" torrent or something, Vox?

I was LARPing as Ritsu on /v/ a few weeks ago and renamed the image. There was an entire thread shittying on the namefags that post in the 4am thread every night.

>>973261

That vox blog post is nothing more than a direct copy paste of 4 tweets with zero other content. Why even link his blog (without an archive link no less)?

Here are the tweets:

>>973263

Because I found it on /pol/ and copy/pasted like the lazyfag I am. I don't really give a fuck about the source I posted it to show everyone that the trannyfags are already attempting to run people out of the place to make it "safe". Unrelated drama isn't my concern.

>>973264

>>>/pol/12172768

Here is where I got it from. Thanks for posting the actual tweets and archive though. We should probably start hunting down more of these and archiving them to have a proof. We might lose the Linux kernel but at least we'll finally have enough proof to keep other projects from adopting the CoC. Watching all the major developers get witch hunted will hopefully wake up other projects. We can't let them poz up anything else. We've lost too much ground already.

This far and no further.

>>973266

Let's look for the tweets of that guy being harassed by the ZDNet employee.

Vox is half feather nigger. It's all you really need to know about him. He's another Gamergate attention seeker who was never anything but a repeater of other people's words and a life coach.

Gab's problem is it's full of libertarians and "true feminists". It's the centrist shit hole of no worth.

>>973294

Linus seems like he's just sick of this shit and went "fuck it I'm out". His apology means nothing because his legacy is 100% secure and there is nothing any one can do to hurt him now. He's untouchable if he apologises or not.

>>973258

Also a reminder that (((gabai))) blocks tor. I would find it reasonable if they just disabled making accounts or whatever, but you can't even view the site over tor.

classic divide and conquer. kikes know full well that regular cis men in tech are secretly disgusted and angry with everything that's been happening in the industry since 2010. linux is the biggest game in town for critical IT infrastructure and they need the core devs splintered, neutered and pliant in order to take more glowindark cock. the symbology of two /tech/ idols, one being killed (in the same manner that he once bragged about x 10) and the other castrated on the alter of progress, is not lost on me.

remember, these people have names and addresses.

>>973279

>>973364

He literally renounced and destroyed his legacy as he walked out the door and handed the keys to the enemy. Legacy: destroyed.

>>973245 (OP)

Large companies like RedHat and Cannonical will probably do a hardfork soon, they already are some of the biggest contributors to the Linux ecosystem and they have too much money on the line to just let it die to the whims of purple haired hambeasts.

>>973297

Wrong pic, same idea

>>973377

ha ha! good one anon, have a look:

http://archive.is/ranuS

Here a paragraph from this shit article:

>“For diversity reasons, it would be nice to try to avoid ‘master’ and ‘slave’ terminology, which can be associated with slavery,” Victor Stinner, a developer with the open source software company Red Hat, wrote. Stinner cited multiple private complaints in the thread as the reason for requesting the change.

>>973377

yeah, no. redhat works with the NSA and this whole clusterfuck just makes it easier to have their way with the kernel.

So at this poiny which releases or projects are free from systemd and kikery in general?

We forking something ourselves or what?

>>973382

some of the BSDs are alright,avoid freeBSD since they banned a bunch people with their CoC not to mention it was based on some feminism bullshit. There are VERY few distros that have avoided systemd AND kikery. It will mostly be one or the other. Ultimately, you can avoid the use of these distros if you're one dedicated autist but at the end of the day, unless you completely leave the internet you will always be interacting with them. Its a pretty sad time in the tech world currently

Fuck

>>973379

Your article has nothing to do with RH or Cannonical, its just some shitty Python thing.

>>973381

RedHat alone has nearly $3B in revenue, do you really think they are going to let their most popular product lose market share to Windows due to Microsoft run subversion?

>>973382

>We forking something ourselves or what?

/tech/ isn't going to be forking shit.

>>973383

>Its a pretty sad time in the tech world currently

Its unfortunately the kick the tech world needed, too many people have become complacent with Linux when work into a more modern OS should have been started years ago.

>>973391

>Linus fell into depression after realizing his evil cis white male ways and shot himself in the back of the head 7 times

>>973392

> Not getting it is an assassination attempt

>>973392

>>973394

>shot himself in the back of the head 7 times

So when will Linus murdoch himself?

>>973386

>RedHat alone has nearly $3B in revenue, do you really think they are going to let their most popular product lose market share to Windows due to Microsoft run subversion?

you are still assuming that redhat sees recent developments as being a threat linux market share, or that they wouldn't instead see the situation as an opportunity. i don't know why you would assume such things. linux desktop usage is a drop in the bucket compared to production related, infrastructure or even android use percentage, they don't give a shit if you move to greener pastures, their interest is in increased control over the kernel itself, because that's what the most important hardware is running on in the world today, not your shitposting machine.

>Its unfortunately the kick the tech world needed,

And another thing: collectivist mindset vs individualist mindset. "Everybody must feel welcome" bullshit. The good intentions of getting along with the mentally ill bluehairs will bring down the project. Watch out for this trap if you have projects of your own.

>>973403

I wasn't referring to desktop Windows, I was referring to Windows Server (and by extension Azure). Microsoft has been putting in quite a bit of effort with regards to Linux compatibility with Azure and Windows, Extinguish usually comes after Extend but in this case they are doing both at the same time.

>accelerationism is a meme. the punchline is a boot on your throat.

Whatever you say dude, at least having a boot on ones throat will give them motivation to change the situation rather than the shitty boiling frogs we have been subject to.

>>973432

You could've trolled better.

>>973432

>What the United States Government has done is effectively take control over a previously open project through the use of corporate sponsorship before the likes of China could get to it first.

This is quite a dangerous move though. There is a train of thought in the crypto world where if you want the most secure crypto possible you would get all the major powers together to develop and agree on an algorithm and implementation, that way if there is any backdoors in it they will all be effected so there is no incentive for any party to try and include them. Why I brought this up was OSs could go the same way except without the US, an open source operating system contributed to by many competing world powers would probably end up being more secure than anything else.

>>973436

That's why the US government uses Linux and will continue to use Linux internally. They just have it on a leash now but its still allowed to be open source

>>973436

>>973438

How long did Torvalds know about Spectre before announcing it publicly and patching the kernel?

>>973444

Who sent the first patches in to be applied to mainline? Was it Intel or Google or some other security researchers?

>>973447

I don't know, where can one find the kernel patch history?

>>973447

Intel sent the patches, then Linus did the whole "recalling 20 years worth of CPUs would be better than letting this garbage into the Linux kernel" before eventually allowing them in after they edited them to only kneecap Intel CPUs since Intel tried to make it apply to both Intel and AMD when only Intel CPUs were effected.

>>973444

It was probably disclosed to him a few weeks before the public announcement.

>>973454

>spoiler

AMD chips were also effected and required similar mitigation though, its just that Intel got the biggest performance impact as a result of kernel memory needing to be gated from usermode memory on Intel chips. on AMD chips usermode memory could still be leaked but not kernel mode.

>>973438

WTF I love Pozzetering now?

>>973377

Doubtful. Being woke is now more important than not going broke.

I know, I know I've let you down

I've been a fool to myself

I thought that I could

Live for no one else

But now through all the hurt and pain

Its time for me to respect

The ones you love

Mean more than anything

So with sadness in my heart

I feel the best thing I could do

Is end it all

And leave forever

Whats done is done, it feels so bad

What once was happy now is sad

I'll never love again

My world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time

'cause now the guilt is all mine

Can't live without the trust from those you love

I know we can't forget the past

You can't forget love and pride

Because of that it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes

Tumbling down, tumbling down

Tumbling down

It all returns to nothing, I just keep

Letting me down, letting me down

Letting me down

In my heart of hearts

I know that I could never love again

I've lost everything

Everything, everything

That matters to me

Matters in this world

I wish that I could turn back time

'cause now all the guilt is mine

Can't live without

The trust from those you love

I know we can't forget the past

We can't forget love and pride

Because of that, its killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes

Tumbling down, tumbling down

Tumbling down

It all returns to nothing, I just keep

Letting me down, letting me down

Letting me down

It all returns to nothing, it all comes

Tumbling down, tumbling down

Tumbling down

It all returns to nothing, I just keep

Letting me down, letting me down

So is there a plan to reverse this insanity or do we need to wait for them to age out of the population?

>>973687

Only real solutions I can see are:

a. Explicit anti-identitarian provisions are instituted in every organization from corporations and government agencies down to school chess clubs and internet forums, purging and blacklisting the wrecker parasites.

b. French Revolution-grade terror, all of them and their families are raped and murdered by the outraged masses, keeping them at bay for a few generations.

>>973701

Solution a. when combined with mass immigration will result in genocide.

>>973432

They don't have to, they can pretty much just migrate to OpenBSD or NetBSD or whatever else can run the majority of the same software. Also having the american kleptocracy take over Linux is no great victory for us, since they're jews all the way down.

>>973392

>shot himself in the back of the head 7 times

Call me a newfag but where does this meme come from?, I see it very often, did someone actually get suicided like that or is it just something made up?

>>973860

You miss the point retard. BSD can have proprietary forks, so the US Government would have no real need to take it over. Linux is fully open, which is seen as dangerous and a challenge to subvert

>>973864

Its how everyone who ever had dirt on the clintions committed suicide. Weird (((coincidence)))

>>973870

BSD can be proprietary, but the mainlines aren't. All the chinks need are an OS, and if Linux gets compromised by (((USA))), they can switch easily. On the plus side, the BSDs are much smaller and easier to audit. And that was even before shit like systemd came into the picture.

>>973952

Not really. It's the Linux kernel precompiled with zero closed source binaries/firmware, not much different from the default Debian/Devuan kernel. You're still entirely at the mercy of pajeet and tranny "code" that gets forced into the main tree unless the project leads decide to hard fork, which they won't.

This is why we need to teach Chads how to code--they'll shove the trannies and nerds into lockers, which is exactly what they need. We live in a society in which dysgenic losers have carte blanche--read "Skin in the Game" if you want to know more.

Caroline is a degenerate/ugly woman/nigger/tranny. She knows that in a healthy society she would be at the bottom of the pile. No one would want her and everyone would scorn her every chance she got. Caroline knows if she ever wants to get to the top she needs to subvert the entire system and make it do a 180. Degenerates at the top and healthy people considered too toxic to touch. If (((someone))) helped Caroline do this she would be very loyal to them, she would understand without them she goes from "sexy lady" on the cover of playboy to unwanted gutter trash again.

And oh look here comes daddy government to subvert the entire system. Well Caroline now is at the top and she can bully all the healthy people into submission with the government's military force/police force behind her.

Now what do you think Caroline is going to be loyal to life at this point? Is she going to turn on the system she needs to avoid the gutter or is she going to fight tooth and nail to avoid people fixing it? Well my friend now you understand how you implement communism. You make the trash the most loyal party members so you have loyal soldiers. Then once you have complete control you discard them and replace them with less loyal but much more functional people. If there's only 1 party you don't need loyalty any more and you can shove the trannies/poor people back in the gutters and rebuild your new nation. Promote healthy families, put degenerates in gulags you know, do everything we want to happen but do it once you have used the sub human filth to get rid of any one who might challenge you for power.

It makes perfect sense when you understand this is the game plan. The government doesn't care about niggers or trannies, they're just the lowest of the low in our societies. As such you will find no one more loyal than them when you're trying to subvert it. They need you as much as you need them until you don't need them any more.

The specific example that was really popularly cited was a guy who was lifting a barbell when he died and it was determined to be a suicide by gunshot. Unfortunately I can't remember the guy's name so I can't provide a link.

>>973826

They already do hate each other and constantly attack and kill each other. They just breed at such a high rate that the deaths don't matter.

Consider them Orcs or Goblins. When they have an enemy they will team up and fight it as one mostly focused horde. When there isn't they will fight among themselves until another one is found. In this case any one with pale skin is the enemy or at best a fuck puppet for stupid women who believe the propaganda.

You can't turn them against each other any more than they already are. They will still rally as "non-whites" because they all benefit anti-white scenarios. The same way Jews don't like niggers but if you use niggers to implement (((better))) rights for niggers and immigrants then Jews benefit from this as well. It lets them get what they want while staying out of sight and out of the history books.

>>973864

It's common to make murder look like suicide when an assassin is involved. It's a parody of the suicide by gun tactic where the guy with the gun manages to get off multiple shots with half his head missing.

It resurfaced recently when some of Hillary's enemy did exactly thay.

>>973989

The media has a right to censor things, we shouldn't fight media censorship, that's missing the point, the problem is not media censorship, the problem is not every side is getting an equal voice. Its clear holdings companies are sidestepping competition laws to have ideological monopolies in the media, that shit has to stop. Abolish holdings companies, promote fair competition in the media, and give the right as much of a voice as the left.

>>974049

They have a right to destroy your rights? Libertarianism is a mental illness. Your dreams of every side having an equal voice are silly; the Left has ensconced themselves everywhere.

>>974055

Libertarianism is how you default an irrecoverably terrible system. No one aspires to libertarianism as an end goal.

>>974058

They extirpate anything remotely Right-leaning, that's how. It's akin to all the paper and pen salesmen in your town refusing to do business with you. If the complete retards [sic] hear nothing but Left-wing noise everyday, and thus equate Trump with Hitler, is that fine? This is somewhat inappurtenant, but it's funny to me how mainstream Left-wing media conspires against Trump (openly) and writes about how they'll assassinate him, and yet everything people on the Right believe is a totally "unscientific" conspiracy theory.

>>974063

You don't see how getting noplatformed, doxxed, expelled from polite society, never hired again, and spat on in the streets is a violation of your rights? (In other words, it only happened because you spoke up, utilizing your God given right to free speech). This generally happens because you're using a normalfag platform (social media) sure, but that's (sadly) where most of the discussion today lies. I'm not advocating "counter-censoring" I just want this entire apparatus gone. I have noticed that normalfags are waking up to the SCIENCE! (corrupt institutions that publish whatever they feel like) worship, though.

>>974018

Of course they want to do that and that is called totalitarianism not communism. You should read up basic definitions before you ridicule yourself. There is a reason we talk of Maoism and Stalinism, since they never even cared about not having an authoritarian state.

Communism is an utopia and will never be reality in larger scale. Same as an anarchist utopia.

Multiple people got suicided in the last 4-5 years by taking multiple gunshots to the head. One guy was killed with a nail gun and was shot multiple times with it in the chest before a headshot did him in. Lots of bankers decided to jump (read: they got tossed) off buildings.

/pol/ was keeping record of all of them before it got pozzed during the election. There were tons of unusual deaths that quickly got ruled as suicide. Hard to remember them all. Look into the banker deaths and the Clinton hit list if you'd like to know more.

>>974061

Oh little libertarian. Believes he's anti-government and thinks the obvious government puppet is on his side.

Why do you believe that CNN lies to you about everything except Trump? Remember how a lot of Trump's fanbase was sick of BLM shit? How a bunch of cops got killed in cold blood by them? Well that sure dried up the moment the election was over didn't it? We go from negro riots in the streets to "someone stole my hat and put the video on youtube" and you don't find this suspicious?

Trump was the system making sure that people like you stayed within it. The entire bullshit campaign that he was an outsider can easily be disproved by the fact that there are hundreds of photos of hm hanging out with the other Elites and government puppet shows.

Only a complete retard believes Trump is anything more than MTV. He's there to make you feel like you're being edgy and dismantling the system. The exact system he's working for that gives you little safety pen to rage against it while still being in charge of the whole day care.

They OWN the state. That is why they have privately owned central banks and the IMF. And they also do tons of lobbying and get their people into seats of power at all the institutions (government and otherwise). So then they see Linux and notice how much influence it has, and how it's a meritocracy. Well that's no good, they have to get their people in there and take control of it. So they send in these SJW to start some shit and get all the bad goys out of the picture. They'll pretty much be able to kick out anyone they want with this CoC. That's the only purpose of these things. But this most likely wasn't their fist attempt, as ESR suggested. They've likely been wanting full control over Linux for quite some time.

And for the record, yes, SJWs are pretty goddamn fascist in practice. They abhor freedom of speech and freedom of expression if it does not conform to their ideology. They abhor the people making such speech or harboring such wrongthink to the point where they wish to destroy their lives and labors for doing so. It is an extremist, fascist line of thinking and overreaching misbehavior.

One of the large issues with the new CoC bullshit is how it wants to be able to destroy people's lives like how these SJWs tried to destroy Larry Garfield because his consensual S&M relationship in his private life deeply offended their feminist sensibilities and they wanted to destroy him over it, even though he had done nothing wrong. And that is pretty fucking disturbing. CoCs are mostly used to give themselves a license to commit SJW witchhunts and allow office politics to overtake merit by being able to create an artificial threat climate and use it to drive people out. The new Linux CoC makes it clear that the list of CoC violations is subject to vague judgment calls and that it accepts private, anonymous evidence. In a court of law, it is well understood that a man must be innocent until proven guilty and that you have the right to confront your accuser. In a SJW tribunal, you are guilty until the accusers are satisfied and you have no right to know who was accusing and of what, specifically, you were being accused.

The trends here are as disturbing as they can be. See here:

>Maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Okay, maintainers should keep the standards of acceptable behavior clear.

>Maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor

Maintainers can and should censor and block whoever doesn't conform to the CoC's guidelines

>for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

And also for other behaviors that are not detailed in the CoC, as long as they feel like calling it inappropriate/threatening/offensive/harmful. Those words are pretty vague and damn near anything can be deemed inappropriate or harmful if you set your mind to it, so basically anything the maintainer does not want or like is fair game for removal.

So we can see that the new CoC imposes a system where people can be punished for vague offenses that are not listed in CoC.

>This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.

Not only are you obligated to follow the CoC inside the project space, but even in public (which sounds disturbing) when you are representing the project - phew, sounds reasonable again - although for a man like Linus Torvalds, for instance, he could probably be said to be representing the Linux project at all hours and wherever he is, simply for being Linus Torvalds.

Moreover the CoC takes the form of a gag prohibiting you from all kinds of CoC-disapproved speech, which does not need to be wholly defined is enforced by the Technical Advisory Board, really. That's a tad disturbing.

>Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

By the way, we reserve the right to define when you are representing the project.

In reality though, they will go after people even for shit they do in their private lives, like Larry Garfield's infamous ouster from Drupal.

>The TAB is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

You absolutely do not have the right to confront your accuser, and it is up to the Technical Advisory Board (the CoC tribunal) to give you the details on your accusations of wrongdoing after their own discretion, which is to say that they don't even need to give you the details on your wrongdoing that they will punish you for.

>Maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project’s leadership.

Not only do you have to avoid running afoul of this awful CoC, you are even obligated to enforce it upon others or otherwise face punishment and removal.

PS: Notice how there is no process outlined for pleading your case if you're deemed to have run afoul of the CoC tribunal. Once you're accused, your only choices are to do what they demand or get screwed.

It is a disturbing piece of shit that demands political control, embracing an overbearing and overreaching radicalism that has no regard for due process, justice, or free speech.

>>974346

Saying it doesn't make it true, snowflake. You guys are just obnoxious newfags. If you want to go full nu/pol/, go back to the >>>/pol/ containment board you autists ruined. The rest of the site is for other shit. SJW bs is a common concern across multiple boards, but that still doesn't make it /pol/ and /pol/ does not have a monopoly on hating SJW cancer.

http://libgen.io/search.php?req=skin+in+the+game&lg_topic=libgen&open=0&view=simple&res=25&phrase=1&column=def

This isn't the first time SJWs attacks the Linux community, the last time there's some on /g/ who praise corporations BECAUSE corporations forces gender and racial diversity. And Linux is made by bigot elitists.

By such a logic, Linux is better because it is the product of privileged white nerds with no contact with the real world, while corporations like Apple, Google and Microsoft are more human, you should buy shit that's human rather than good software made by freedom nazis.

Anyone ever heard about a concept called Corporate Socialism?

>>974352

SJWs aren't fascist. Your political "knowledge" is ass backwards where you think any kind of authority and censorship is immediately fascism which isn't how ideologies work. You're arguing SJWs are bad while spouting SJW brainwashing.

>>974368

>nu/pol/ pretends they're the oldfags now

8chan existed before you insistent retards came here, you know. Lurk moar or fuck off already.

>>974368

>>974373

>Nigger, the vast majority of us go to /pol/ or agree with /pol/.

Yeah, Josh destroying the site, Jim stealing what was left, and the horde of imbeciles that came to nu/pol/ after the original /pol/ moderation staff resigned in protest of Jim's takeover and imkampfy turned it into hugbox central, all did a bang-up job of ruining 8chan. It's only recently that 8chan is recovering from the worst parts of the cancer, but so many have left after all the bullshit and the colossal drop in site IQ that has been nu/pol/ autism.

Maybe I should've left too when Hotwheels lost control of the site. It was the end of an era, and 8chan has gotten much worse since. Then again my main board has been more or less on the sidelines of all this bullshit and survived it all, and 8chan does seem to be doing a bit better nowadays than it did when all the fucking shitposting 4kids followed the Trump memes and started going on random fucking tirades on other boards all the time.

>It does tho.

It does not. /leftypol/ might be its own newfag hugboxing abomination, but it's honestly annoying and retarded when /pol/ decides everyone not nu/pol/ must be /leftypol/ in disguise. There are tons of gamers, /b/astards, /fit/izens, and whatnot who just despise moral busybodies and censorious twits and have scant to do with nu/pol/ or /leftypol/.

>>974382

Oh look it's another Gamergate weenie whining about /pol/. How does it feel to be a complete failure of a human being?

>>974373

>Nigger, the vast majority of us go to /pol/ or agree with /pol/.

Cool, now keep >>>/pol/ shit there faggot.

>>974385

The sheer irony in this post is freaking hilarious.

Watching this whole situation go down is fucking infuriating. Even if we ignored the technical aspect (i.e. commits being accepted for retarded reasons and the introduction of NSA Speck encryption as a kernel dependency), these are some downright disgusting actions. First they blackmailed Torvalds to leave, and now they are trying to force Tso out, despite both of these men dedicating 20+ years of their lives to the project. This is like seeing your nice elderly neighbor get his house broken into. The people behind this scheme have NO HONOR.

>>973388

>>973391

You niggers do realize his daughter went 100% pozzed sjw right?

>tfw sitting on patch series

I'm not sure what to do now. On the one hand, I'm probably the only user of this (unmaintained) driver and I would have no problem becoming the maintainer.

OTOH I'm 99% certain the SJWs will use my contribution, provided this CoC shit doesn't cause a straight up exodus, to show that it either did nothing to fuck over actual contributors or worse: to show that their CoC caused /more/ contributors to come on board.

Guess I'll just maintain this privately for a while yet...

>>974408

Yeah, and I think she was a definite factor in this, but I think Torvalds deserves better than to see his own daughter raked over the coals and get caught near the center of a colossal shitstorm. Let's keep the digging focused on the Linux foundation, for Linus's sake.

>>974416

Linux-libre does not have a CoC afaict. Do they accept patches directly?

>>974421

Linus got what he deserved when he sent his daughter to university. He's not an idiot so he should know what would happen. But from the sounds of it she was pozzed long before that since she's the one who infected the place with feminism.

What's the mother like?

>>974408

Yeah, see >>974256

>>974424

>Linus got what he deserved when he sent his daughter to university.

There's an argument to be had on the merit of universities but this is not the way to do it. The idea that one should avoid universities altogether as a way to avoid SJWs is hideously fucking stupid. I'm left with the impression that I am replying to a drooling moron here.

>What's the mother like?

Seriously pal, stop digging into Linus's private life. This isn't headed anywhere good, for anyone. Feel free to dig into the Linux foundation and whoever staged that bullshit intervention on Linus. Feel free to look into how that CoC is being implemented, who is doing what, and who is taking orders from where. Those are the overriding concerns.

>>974438

>The idea that one should avoid universities altogether as a way to avoid SJWs is hideously fucking stupid.

You missed the point. It's women who shouldn't go to universities.

>>974424

>He's not an idiot so he should know what would happen.

How so? I don't think he had any contact with burger universities before, remember he's finnish and from before the time of SJWs. It's rms who gives talks everywhere, Linus doesn't outside of /tech/ circles.

>>974438

> Feel free to dig into the Linux foundation and whoever staged that bullshit intervention on Linus

It was probably his daughter. Linus wouldn't have cared about hurting someone else's feelings in the Linux Foundation because Linus wanted good, quality code. If he hurt their feelings, tough shit. His daughter however is way different and only seems why he would do such a thing.

>>974438

I know I'm replying to a drooling moron. We can tell by the way you wish to avoid figuring out what happened in order to prevent it happening again. Either you're a moron or you're malicious and if you are malicious then you're also a moron.

>>974440

/tech/ circles has been discussing this sort of thing since the 90s that I can recall. Code of conduct and false rape accusations was a hot topic back then when people said women would abuse them.

Feminism was all over the academic spheres back then and it was very difficult to miss it. Unless he read nothing but usergroups for this entire time he can't have missed what was going on.

>>974441

His daughter would of been pestering him for years. This is bigger than his family members. This involves serious internal pressure from the way he "took a break" and then was told to jump before he was pushed.

>>974451

His daughter was likely pestering him for years, and she now is attending college for her first semester then this happens? I would say she had a lot of influence over this.

>>974455

It's not impossible but how many chicks do the same thing with being a vegan or a vegetarian? Parents just ignore them and say it's a phase not give up a million dollar pay check

>>974463

You're not wrong.

For the Patricia Torvalds shit: has she ever contribute to Linux in any shape or form?

The answer should define if she deserves her dig.

>>974478

Stop being meritocratic, you misogynist! Just because she never contributed anything doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to tell white men how to do their job. She may not be trans but she's still a woman.

>>974438

He shouldve kept her from going into some meme career instead of stem, either by telling her to fuckoff with that pozzed shit or refusing to pay for her school if its going to be some bullshit like that

Still its undeniable that she had some influence in linus decision, he was 100% against this faggotry and just did a 180°? come on...

More like the cianiggers got to him. They have vested interest in those Intel bugs and IoT crypto patches. And all the other lame patches and things they're going to submit now with him and other resistance out of the way.

The SJW are just there to distract and mislead, and give an excuse for the takeover.

>>974455

I think it's more likely Patricia managed to poison her mom against her dad, and that the two of them are on the verge of a divorce. It's easy to ignore the dumbass shit your naive college-aged kid says, but if she manages to do a roastie mind meld with your wife and turn her against you, that shit's a wake-up call. Linus wouldn't have time to keep working on the kernel if he's doing individual and couples' therapy now. That's what I think happened.

>>974482

>refusing to pay for her school if its going to be some bullshit like that

That wouldn't really work. Pretend you're a SJW wanting to control tech. Who's a better target than Linus' daughter? She could easily get a grant for girls, there are dozens of those. What he really fucked up, as most people do, is in teaching her to not be a useless sjw when he could (up to her teens, after that I think it was too late).

>>974486

That would suck. With this rescind talk, could Linus pull his work out of Linux, essentially leaving it with nothing?

>>974488

Not the guy you're replying to but there's a bit more than "Linus fucked up". They live in Oregon, a state known for churning out a FUCKTON of white SJW's. It's the public education system. He didn't account for that in raising her. After all, Linus hates these freaks as much as we do, he just doesn't have the balls to deal with them.

>>974451

>>974439

ITT: Fucking idiots.

>>974483

That's a major concern right there, honestly. A SJW takeover is just what the alphabet agencies need to have quality control fucking collapse and start slipping shit in. Of course, we can stay on the old kernels for quite some time or just migrate to a less failed product. Not sure it was the CIA who got to him, but they will probably avail themselves of the opportunity.

lmfao they are going to shit on his legacy by calling him a misogynist hahahha what a fucking cuck

>>974400

>>974373

>Nigger, the vast majority of us go to /pol/ or agree with /pol/

While this is true, what is important are the circumstances surrounding exactly why it is true. The vast majority of people posting here are now cuckchan refugees and cuckchan cross-posters. Chinkmonkey cemented the death of /pol/ as a welcoming party for cuckchan retards a few months ago. Of course you very likely have absolutely no fucking clue what I'm even talking about and this is falling on deaf ears. I just find it quite entertaining watching the cultural locusts who destroyed 8chan unironically cry about this shit without skipping a beat. Your lack of self-awareness is only rivaled by the very people you seek to destroy.

Learn the difference between your nu/pol/ alt-kike autism and true ethno-nationalism.

Yes I'm sure you've got some red laces as you post on a chink owned website as you talk about being an adult man playing video games and discussing them on a jew owned board with a bunch of other men larping as anime girls. I have many on my list. You can be sure you weeb video game degenerates are among the first to go. The fact you praise nu/pol/ alone has outed you as a larping idiot. The "im sure we all post on the kike owned board /v/!! right fellow channers xD" was just the icing on the cake.

>>974366

Isn't that the point?

The weak shall give to the strong.

>>974382

Very few people who used to actually contribute to /pol/ probably even care anymore it's so far gone. There was a time you could have gone there and actually learned something but that time is long gone thanks to mongoloids who have fuck all understanding of any of the actual topics be it politics or history. The board is a caricature of itself and most of the people left are too fucking dumb to realize it hence why they think it's even a relevant source of "information" or discussion.

>>974488

Look the point is he would have tried to set her straight, instead he got indoctrinated by her into leaving linux

>>974555

Possibly, so long as Steve Litt stops trying to suck tranny cock, or better yet, fucks off and stops contributing.

Has anyone thought about getting the linux community to flood Linus with emails? That's the only SJW tactic that they use, and the only reason why it works is because people get tired of being harassed with repetitive monotony. It's not as effective anymore though, because look at the James Gunn rehire campaign. He's still fired. Why can't people who actually contributed or understand Linux let Linus know how we feel, and he can use that in his "therapy".

>>974598

It's too late now considering he's quit. He can't rehire himself.

>>974601

When did he trasnfer the copyright of the kernel to the Linux Foundation? I am certain he still holds that.

Holy fucking shit it's happening. Linus is out. The CoC is in. A maintainer of CRYPTOGRAPHY RELATED SUBSYSTEMS is already being attacked by SJWs for 'rape apology'. They're already saying they don't trust maintainers to enforce the CoC, laying the groundwork for an external takeover. They're talking about providing CoC enforcement as a SaaS thing, like some kind of internet HR department.

Yes I mad.

FSF endorsed distros such as Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre use a fork of the linux kernel that does not contain any non-free blobs, and incidentally is not affected by the new code of conduct.

Additionally linux-libre is also CoC free.

>>976455

Ahem, I think you mean GNU/Linux or GNU plus Linux.

>>976442

Exactly. It's not the quality of the code that matters on a project like linux, it's how you treat your fellow xirs, xems, and xes. Pronouns are basic respect, can't handle that, then GET OUT. I look forward to where they take linux now, hopefully everyone feels safe and comfortable, that should be the primary concern now with linushit out of the way.

>>976442

That's just his style. I knew someone who'd curse at you like a sailor if you fucked up, but he didn't hate you for it, it's just the way he worked. And it works fine, I never had a problem with it, neither did the other people there after the initial fear wore off. People who prefer a more polite style (nothing wrong with that) can work elsewhere where they're more comfortable, it's a win/win. There's no reason to run every project the same way.

>>976462

No, he meant Linux, the kernel. Linux, the kernel, is Linus' project.

>>976586

>>976462

No you fucking idiot.

Linux IS a kernel, it's redundant to say "the linux kernel"

That's why the whole gnu/linux interjection actually means.

>>976442

He was a good asshole though. When Linus chewed someone out he had a damn good reason for doing it and it was a point that needed hammering in. When Linus rants about "WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE" as a kernel development mantra, he makes an extremely important point that cannot afford to go neglected. In general his rants are very much on point, well-deserved, and well worth hammering in. And it's a known fact that when you try to be gentle about telling people to abide important principles they are getting horribly wrong, they are more likely to play it loose than when you rake them over the coals for fucking shit up and hammer in why they are being stupid. The kernel is not a place that should abide stupid decisions and mistakes for the sake of not rocking the boat. Competence should be the most important factor which means a harsh attitude towards excuses and incompetence is somewhat necessary.

Linus doesn't rant 24-7, you know. Just when shit fucks up hard. Other than that the worst you're like to see is that he might just be blunt with you if you ask him shit, but I'll take blunt and on point over wordy and hedging language any day.

>>980110
