This is exactly what they want though, this weakens Linux's hold on the internet. Do you think big name companies are going to continue using Linux if people threaten to pull their commits and put them on the line for massive data breach libel lawsuits? One of the images in the article even states that that was their plan from the beginning, to take it over just so they can burn it down and get rid of another "patriarchal hangout" just like vidya was.

Remember how he said no, while nodding his head yes, clearly indicating that his wasn't allowed to speak, but trying to get the message across regardless? I think this is the same situation. I think that his hands are tied somehow and he's not able to speak his mind, but he's trying to drop little hints for us, to let us know it was written under pressure, or something similar.

Been refreshing his blog for days now waiting for him to drop a scathing analysis of the situation. I have a feeling he's pretty pissed and has been spending a lot of time communicating with various people to try to get an idea of what is actually going on behind the scenes. I think his last two or three blog posts have been dedicated to CoC fuckery and master/slave censorship nonsense, so I imagine that since Linux itself has been so ruthlessly targeted now he will be on a total warpath.

No, you continue to do your work and contribute while living a life of quiet desperation. Whenever a PoC asks you to do something you kneel before him/her/xer and tell them unconditionally, yes in addition to apologizing for your existence. You're nothing compared to the powerfull tranny overlord above you and if you fail to realize this you will be ostracized or jailed. Dominance heirarchies are problematic when based on merit or innate biological capacity but fine when based on oppression, as long as you realize that you'll do fine.

<This isn’t about women in tech, or minorities in tech, or gays in tech. The hacker culture’s norm about inclusion is clear: anybody who can pull the freight is welcome, and twitching about things like skin color or shape of genitalia or what thing you like to stick into what thing is beyond wrong into silly. This is about whether we will allow “diversity” issues to be used as wedges to fracture our community, degrade the quality of our work, and draw us away from our duty.

<When hackers fail our own standards of meritocracy, as we sometimes do, it’s up to us to fix it from within our own tradition: judge by the work alone, you are what you do, shut up and show us the code. A movement whose favored tools include the rage mob, the dox, and faked incidents of bigotry is not morally competent to judge us or instruct us.

<I have been participating in and running open-source projects for a quarter-century. In all that time I never had to know or care whether my fellow contributors were white, black, male, female, straight, gay, or from the planet Mars, only whether their code was good. The SJWs want to make me care; they want to make all of us obsess about this, to the point of having quotas and struggle sessions and what amounts to political officers threatening us if we are insufficiently “diverse”.

But then why the smart quotes?

To be honest, I doubt he has truly been killed and replaced by an actor, but something fishy is going on here. Judging by the fact that he seems to mix ASCII quotes and smart quotes, I am going to assume some parts of the mail have been written in a different program to whatever he is used to write in, since if it were to be written in a single program (maybe he changed his mail client, I dunno) and then copypasted over, the quotes would have been consistent. This may mean:

>He copied and pasted sentences someone else sent him. This may be due to blackmail (he was expected to include some expressions in his mail so the blackmailer knew he got the message) or due to a hypothetical canary file for select people, with expressions to copypaste in case of kernel intrusion.

>His mail was intercepted and partially rewritten. Unlikely.

>He sent his mail to someone else to receive their seal of approval before submitting it, and then was partially corrected. This may be "benign" if he decided to ask his daughter if his mail sounded too "toxic", or downright an indication of blackmail.

>He is trying to raise suspicions by purposefully adding incoherent quotes, which he expected to be a subtle canary death.

>He used a different mail client (or whatever web client he uses got updated), and the quote heuristic is borked in some edge cases. I have seen this happen with Libreoffice, where deleting some smart quotes may cause the smart quoting to go haywire. If he rewrote part of the message before sending it, this may have been the case. This could be the case if he is travelling and had to use someone else's computer. Considering he wanted to step aside for some time, he may be on vacation and didn't bring his laptop with him, so he grabbed his wife's or his daughter's or whatever.

>His keyboard scheme was borked for some reason, and rather than waste time attempting to fix it, he just copy pasted some quotes from the Internet. Sounds too dumb to believe, but I have personally done it some times for different reasons.

<he just copy pasted some quotes from the Internet

Then one would expect them all to match. You wouldn't keep going back to the webpage if you already had quotes to copy in the file you had open, and you wouldn't mix smart quotes with ASCII quotes either way.

Keep in mind that this is apparently the first instance of Linus EVER using smart quotes, except for one time when he quoted somebody else using them. >>975457

I also don't buy the "his daughter converted him" theory because Linus is an older man, 48 according to Wikipedia. Old guys like that don't tend to do a complete 180 in their worldview all of a sudden, and certainly not because their liberal daughter asked them to.

>Torvalds’s decision to step aside came after The New Yorker asked him a series of questions about his conduct for a story on complaints about his abusive behavior discouraging women from working as Linux-kernel programmers.

Another snippet I take is this:

He describes how corporate software works down to a T. Linux's been basically "designed by commitee" for quite a while now, and the CIA niggers forcing themselves into it probably wanted him gone to go full corporate software.

Our discomfort as you put it is irrelevant. The shit code these groups practically inevitably create and promote is the main issue. The secondary issue it the incredible toxicity and destruction of a productive environment having 3DPD of any sort present in these environments creates.

My theory is that he has been blackmailed, and part of getting out of it is to make a public statement denouncing things that the blackmailer does not like. The email was probably copy pasted by Linus and contains part of someone else's words.

The whole statement reads like something Linus would never say. It's very out of character for him. I doubt that he personally wrote most of that public statement, and the different quotes come from copy pasting coerced public statements from two or more sources.

That's just my theory, though. But as everyone else said, he's never used those style of quotes before. Leads me to believe that he's not the one that wrote those parts.

I believe it's the total opposite. The companies _want_ this to happen. That way Linux can be more "designed by commitee". Get rid of the legend and all that remains is a board.

Makes sense, what with msft wanting to take over linux, becoming platinum/gold (I think?) sponsor, etc.

It's not just msft, the attack was on many fronts. And rather than deal with paid shills screeching and hit pieces on media he just let it happen. He gave up.

Yeah, Microsoft is a part of it, since they're one of the companies taking over Linux (Redhat and Google have already for some time). But it's much larger than this. Linux represented an easy alternative for normies who want to escape the botnet. Well that will soon be gone as Linus and other vocal anti-bullshit devs start getting kicked out via the CoC. Now if the normies want to avoid the botnet, they're kind of fucked since they'll have to use OpenBSD or NetBSD on ARM or something else that requires more than just clicking in some GUI or tapping a touchscreen.

FOSS threads have been crossposted on /v/ and elsewhere for years, on a semi-regular basis (usually tailored for the local audience). I dunno what you expected would happen, but certainly "users staying in place while using the same site" is not one of the possibilities.

Furthermore six months ago threads were a mix of programming language/licensing holy wars (which we still have), watching Intel stab itself to death (which it's still doing), and occasional wild cards like debates over whether GIMP was useful for professional work or not. Those are all fine, but they aren't unusual, so they aren't going to attract outside attention. Right now, in addition to the Terry situation, you now have several projects in a row (with Linux as a capstone) bend over and spread it for mentally ill faggots. I'm not at all surprised you have crossposters here right now who want to see what the fuck is happening, maybe even drifting back to the Exodus days. If you want to go ahead and sperg about it, be my guest, but what you really want instead is for these happenings stop.

> can't imagine anyone being intimidated by hackers IRL, their focus of expertise is mostly qwerty.

The only reason the Internet is allowed to exist at all is because most hackers are white hat and comfortable. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that IF a few kernel-level hackers were actually pissed off enough to take shit down, it would only take one man and one machine.

Despite all the fear-mongering about "cyber terrorists" there really haven't been any really skilled ones, yet. Your average kernel hacker has the skills to take over the US power grid, like the Chinese gov's script kiddies did once upon a time.

Despite what you may think, Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is incredibly insecure. Anything that remains unhacked right now is because no skilled hacker wants to hack it. Hell, there's no mainstream OS in existence right now that I can't lean on and compromise with low level 0-day attack vectors, and I'm just one dude! The elites and the govs who have nothing but troves of secrets to protect are deathly afraid of hackers. What if they compromised TV signals and redpilling normies on whatever they want, then destroyed the infrastructure needed to "correct the record" afterwards? It would be mayhem if the average normie knew who all was raping kiddos in their gov.

I know for a fact that hackers of even moderate skill have detailed personality profiles and people going over them if they seem to be getting a bit too political. You wouldn't be live the amount of surveillance that is currently in effect on the tech savvy and politically minded. Millions are actively monitored everywhere at all times. Snowden leaks was a limited holdout operation, a drop in the fucking bucket compared to the shit I've seen. Imagine something far worse than the Snoden Leaks, and uncontrolled -- not put through some controlled opposition journalist outlet, but just rubbed in the faces of the entire world raw and uncensored.

If you think no one is intimidated by hackers, then your government owes you billions, if not trillions of dollars back in the money they spend spying on hackers. They WANT some "cyber terrorist" to lash out. If you haven't figured it out yet, FBI makes "terrorist" to justify their existence. This is typically done via psychological warfare and removal of all avenues of grievance. They. Make. Terrorists. However, they haven't managed to make a cyberterrorist just yet. You know why? They're too fucking scared! It's a "known unknown", and that's terrifying as fuck.

The world is lucky that hackers are tolerant beasts of burden, happy to trudge through millions of lines of code just for shits and giggles. If the whitehats were to weaponize their autism, the world as you know it would not exist.
