/tech/ - Technology★

>"Have you read the Twitter feeds and other things by the people who seem to care more about the non-technical side? I think your 'hyped stories' is about as polite as you can put it. It's a morass of nastiness. Instead of a 'common goal', you end up with horrible fighting between different 'in-groups'.

>"It's very polarising, and both sides love egging the other side on. It's not even a 'discussion', it's just people shouting at each other.

>"That's actually the reason I for the longest time did not want to be involved with the whole CoC discussion in the first place. That whole subject seems to very easily just devolve and become unproductive. And I found a lot of the people who pushed for a CoC and criticised me for cursing to be hypocritical and pointless. I could easily point you to various tweet storms by people who criticise my 'white cis male' behaviour, while at the same time cursing more than I ever do.

>"So that's my excuse for dismissing a lot of the political correct concerns for years. I felt it wasn't worth it. Anybody who uses the words 'white cis male privilege' was simply not worth my time even talking to, I felt.

>"And I'm still not apologising for my gender or the colour of my skin, or the fact that I happen to have the common sexual orientation.

>"What changed? Maybe it was me, but I was also made very aware of some of the behaviour of the 'other' side in the discussion.

>"Because I may have my reservations about excessive political correctness, but honestly, I absolutely do not want to be seen as being in the same camp as the low-life scum on the internet that think it's OK to be a white nationalist Nazi, and have some truly nasty misogynistic, homophobic or transphobic behaviour. And those people were complaining about too much political correctness too, and in the process just making my public stance look bad.

>"And don't get me wrong, please - I'm not making excuses for some of my own rather strong language. But I do claim that it never ever was any of that kind of nastiness. I got upset with bad code, and people who made excuses for it, and used some pretty strong language in the process. Not good behaviour, but not the racist/etc claptrap some people spout.

>"So in the end, my 'I really don't want to be too PC' stance simply became untenable. Partly because you definitely can find some emails from me that were simply completely unacceptable, and I need to fix that going forward. But to a large degree also because I don't want to be associated with a lot of the people who complain about excessive political correctness.

>"Am I turning into some cuddly people person? I'll admit that sounds very unlikely. I still care about the technology, and I'm still not exactly the most empathetic person. But I'm hoping I can at least 'fake it until I make it'. Part of that 'faking it' is definitely going to be a filter on my outgoing emails, but as mentioned, I'm actively also trying to find a professional therapist to talk to as well.

>"Will everybody be happy? No. People who don't like my blunt behaviour even when I'm not being actively nasty about it will just see that as 'look, nothing changed'. I'm trying to get rid of my outbursts, and be more polite about things, but technically wrong is still technically wrong, and I won't start accepting bad code just to make people feel better about themselves.

>"But if people at least realise that I'm not part of the disgusting underbelly of the internet that thinks it's OK to show the kind of behaviour you will find if you really have been reading up on the 'discussions' about the code of conduct, then even that will be a really good thing.

>"And again - the above is just my explanation of why I applied the CoC even if there is obviously discussion about it. We will have the maintainer summit in Edinburgh next month, and we'll talk about this issue a lot more.

>"In the meantime, I'm taking a break from the kernel and probably shouldn't talk to journalists."

Now we need to inoculate Linux ourselves with venom to build up a resistance. SJWs will bide their time and pick off devs one at a time, weakest first. So, right now we should be overplaying the SJW hand, and doing it poorly: Go after senior devs because of something innocuous questionable they said years ago, and cite CoC violation to oust them. SJWs will pile on and this will provoke a reaction against the CoC shite.

If we just let things settle down we loose attention and our flock gets picked off one at a time later.

Sadly, /tech/ isn't /pol/, and the anti-gamergate D&C seems to have actually worked, so everyone here will just whine like faggots rather than do what's needed to survive.

What a fag

So Linus just accepted the CoCk because he was guilted into a "us vs them" mentality with the "muh fenceshitter" argument? Sounds like he really is being blackmailed.

>>978249

>Sadly, /tech/ isn't /pol/, and the anti-gamergate D&C seems to have actually worked, so everyone here will just whine like faggots rather than do what's needed to survive.

So in reality, we have no choice but to surrender and accept defeat. Nothing will ever change now. (((They))) won, like they always do.

Ah, cool. So Linus is in line with the whole "if you disagree with the CoC, you're an ebil notsee bro!" nonsense.

Yeah, Linux is dead.

Oh what a lovely day this has turned into. I can only imagine how you autistic manbabies are taking this as you try and stage your last counterattack against a community that has already turned its back on you. Linus makes it very clear here: There's no room for you autistic isolated fuckbois in the wider Linux community and especially in the kernel dev community. Society has spoken and it wants you to come out of your computer den rn and face the result of years upon years of your reckless behaviour. Programmers are the architects and engineers of our future and any problematic elements need to be routed out right fucking now so that we can get to our utopian post-scarcity socialist vision. Linus has spoken. Society has spoken. Theyre telling you that they dont want you if youre an autistic LARPer that spends his days trolling on IRCs or imageboards. Youre a nazi fixated on the past and if you dont identify with neo-nazism then why are you against PoCs or CoCs? You're about to be left behind, and rightfully so. Maybe when we come for your heads you will realize just how badly you fucked up. This isnt a hobby anymore its a fucking issue of social justice and justice will be served. The message is simple, but will it reach you?

In the next life, don't resist the CoC.

>>978245 (OP)

Linus, you shamed me for saying you were a fool for not adopting "or later version", so that we could have GPLv3 Linux.

Now I see that you were correct. I was a fool. You were under pressure the whole time and this shit was your agree and amplify poison pill. Having SJWs destroy Linux today may actually end up saving tech tomorrow. I hope your daughter isn't blackmailing you with #MeToo shenanigans, but she and your wife are SJW and your parents were radicals reds, so I don't envy you living in Stasi occupied territory but you of all people should have seen it coming.

Still, it seems you maintained the kernel well (but didn't write much of its code in later years). For that thanks, RIP Linu[xs].

Lord Tan's Thirty Six Strategems of War -- Related to Sun Tsu's Art of War.

Strategems When Commanding Superiority

瞒天过海 Deceive the heavens and cross the ocean: Mask your real goals with

a fake goal until your aims are achieved; the enemy will be so annoyed with

the constant false alarms that they will ignore you once you make your real

move. (This rule is also used as a Chinese idiom for "to pull the wool over

someone's eyes".)

围魏救赵 Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao: Avoid a head-on battle with a strong

enemy, and instead strike at his weakness (for example, a weaker ally)

elsewhere. The name came from Qi forcing Wei's army to retreat from laying

siege to Zhao's capital by laying siege to Wei's capital in 354-353BC.

借刀杀人 Kill With a Borrowed Knife: Cause damage to the enemy by getting a

third party to do the deed or causing an Enemy Civil War.

以逸待劳 Substitute Leisure for Labor: Have your troops well-prepared for

battle, in the same time that the enemy is rushing to fight against you,

ideally resulting in their exhausted troops running into your fresh

soldiers on the terms of your choosing.

趁火打劫 Loot a Burning House: The best time to attack an opponent is when

they have their own problems to deal with. Though he who loots a burning

house should be careful lest he become trapped inside.

声东击西 Clamor in the East, Attack in the West: Get the enemy to focus his

forces elsewhere, and then attack a position that would be weakly defended.

Stratagems for Confrontation

无中生有 Create Something from Nothing: Make somebody believe there was

something when there is in fact nothing, or vice versa (ie. lie like a rug).

The general idea is that having fallen for a trick once or twice, an enemy

will be unwilling to fall for your trick a third time - so that's when you

should actually attack.

暗度陈仓 Openly Repair the Walkway, but Sneak through the passage of

Chencang: Deceive the enemy with an obvious approach that will take a very

long time, while surprising him by taking a shortcut and sneaking up on him.

Another interpretation is the Kansas City Shuffle --- Distract the enemy with

an "obvious" attempt at deception in order to conceal yet another ploy from

their attention.

隔岸观火 Observe the Fire from the Opposite Shore, or Sit on the Mountain and

Watch the Tigers Fight: Delay entering the field of battle until all the

other players have become exhausted fighting amongst themselves, then go in

at full strength and pick up the pieces.

笑里藏刀 Hide a Knife behind a Smile: Charm and endear yourself to your enemy.

When you have gained his trust, move against him in secret. (Also used as a

Chinese idiom for someone with Chronic Backstabbing Disorder.)

李代桃僵 Sacrifice the Plum Tree to Preserve the Peach Tree: Sacrifice

short-term objectives in order to gain the long-term goal. (Peaches are

associated with immortality; see eg. Journey to the West.)

顺手牵羊 Take the Opportunity to Pilfer a Goat: While carrying out your plans,

be flexible enough to take advantage of any opportunity that presents

itself, however small, and avail yourself of any profit, however slight.

(This is also used as an idiom for Stealing from the Till or the

Five-Finger Discount.)

Stratagems for Attack

打草惊蛇 Beat the Grass to Startle the Snake: Do something without aim, but

make it so spectacular to provoke a response of the enemy, thereby giving

away his plans or position, or just taunt him. Do something unusual,

strange, and unexpected as this will arouse the enemy's suspicion and

disrupt his thinking. However, an imprudent act will give your position or

intentions away to the enemy.

借尸还魂 Borrow a Corpse to Resurrect the Soul: Revive something from the

past by giving it a new purpose, or reinterpret it to your advantage.

调虎离山 Lure the Tiger Down From the Mountain: Lure an opponent away from

his field of advantage, thus separating him from his source of strength.

欲擒故纵 To Catch Something, First Set it Free: Cornered prey will often mount

a final Desperation Attack; to prevent this, you let the enemy believe he

still has a chance for freedom. May also take the form of a Trick-and-Follow

Ploy, where letting an enemy go and observing their subsequent actions may

give you more information about their capabilities and intentions.

抛砖引玉 Toss out a Brick to attract Jade: Bait someone by making him believe

he gains something or just make him react to it and obtain something

valuable from him in return.

>>978345

http://archive.fo/8klfF

>>978349

擒贼擒王 To Capture the Bandits, capture their Leader: If the enemy's army is

strong but is allied to the commander only by money or threats, then take

aim at the leader; the rest of the army will disperse or come over to your

side. If, however, they are allied to the leader through loyalty, then

beware, the army can continue to fight on after his death out of vengeance.

Stratagems for Confused Situations

釜底抽薪 Steal the Firewood from under the Pot: Take out the leading argument

or asset of your target, denying your enemy the resources needed to oppose

you.

浑水摸鱼 Stir up the Waters to catch a Fish: Create confusion and use this

confusion to further your own goals.

金蝉脱壳 Slough off the Cicada's Golden Shell: Create an illusion to fit your

goals and distract others. (A secondary meaning for this rule would be

Faking the Dead.)

关门捉贼 Shut the Door to catch the Thief: If you have the chance to

completely capture the enemy then you should do so, thereby bringing the

battle or war to a quick and lasting conclusion.

远交近攻 Befriend a Distant State while attacking a Neighbour: When you are

the strongest in one field, your greatest threat is from the second

strongest in your field, not the strongest from another field, and thus the

distant neighbor will make a good ally, however temporary.

假道伐虢 Obtain Safe Passage to conquer the state of Guo: Borrow the

resources of an ally to attack a common enemy. Once the enemy is defeated,

use those resources to turn on the ally that lent you them in the first

place. This comes from Jin's conquest of the states of Guo and Yu by

bribing Yu's ruler to obtain a safe passage for Jin forces to conquer Guo

in 658BC. Without Guo's protection, Yu was then conquered by Jin in 655BC.

Stratagems for Gaining Ground

偷梁换柱 Replace the Beams with Rotten Timbers: Disrupt the enemy's

formations, interfere with their methods of operations, change the rules

which they are used to following, go contrary to their standard training.

指桑骂槐 Point at the Mulberry tree, but curse the Locust: To discipline,

control, or warn others whose status or position excludes them from direct

confrontation; use analogy and innuendo. Without directly naming names,

those accused cannot retaliate without revealing their complicity.

假痴不癫 Feign Madness but Keep your Balance: Hide behind the mask of a fool,

a drunk, or a madman to create confusion about your intentions and

motivations.

上屋抽梯 Lure them onto the Roof, then take away the Ladder: With baits and

deceptions, lure your enemy into treacherous terrain, then cut off his lines

of communication and avenue of escape; to save himself, he must fight both

your own forces and the elements of nature.

树上开花 Deck the Tree with False Blossoms: Through the use of artifice and

disguise, make something of no value appear valuable; of no threat appear

dangerous; of no use appear useful.

反客为主 Exchange the roles of Host and Guest: Usurp leadership in a

situation where you are normally subordinate. Infiltrate your target.

Initially, pretend to be a guest to be accepted, but develop from inside

and become the owner later.

>>978349

>>978352

Stratagems for Desperate Straits

美人计 The Beauty Trap: Send your enemy beautiful women to cause discord

within his camp. This strategy can work on three levels: First, the ruler

becomes so enamored with the beauty that he neglects his duties and allows

his vigilance to wane; second, other males at court will begin to display

aggressive behavior that inflames minor differences hindering co-operation

and destroying morale; third, other females at court, motivated by jealousy

and envy, begin to plot intrigues, further exacerbating the situation.

空城计 The Empty Fort Strategy: When the enemy is superior in numbers and

your situation is such that you expect to be overrun at any moment, then

drop all pretense of military preparedness and act calmly so that the enemy

will think you have hidden reserves and want to trap them into the fort.

反间计 Let the Enemy's own spy sow discord in the Enemy camp: Undermine your

enemy's intelligence-gathering abilities by using his own spies against him

or planting your own agents among his.

苦肉计 Injure yourself to gain the Enemy's trust: Pretending to be injured

has two possible applications. In the first, the enemy is lulled into

relaxing his guard since he no longer considers you to be an immediate

threat. The second is a way of ingratiating yourself to your enemy by

pretending the injury was caused by a mutual enemy.

连环计 Chain Stratagems: In important matters, one should use several

stratagems applied simultaneously after another as in a chain of stratagems.

Keep different plans operating in an overall scheme; however, in this manner

if any one strategy fails, then the chain breaks and the whole scheme fails.

走为上计 If all else fails, Retreat: The best battle is one fought with your

side never having to mobilize, but if it becomes obvious that your current

course of action will lead to defeat, then retreat and regroup.

tfw you will never get a chance to submit bad code and have linus fulfil your humiliation and verbal abuse fetish

Kay, this needs to be fixed.

Suggested fix: just use the 'seq_printf()' interfaces, which do the
proper buffering, and allow any size reads of various packetized data.

Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it
was a good idea to read things ONE F*CKING BYTE AT A TIME with system
calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the f*ck does
idiotic things like that? How did they noty die as babies, considering

>>978376

Note that it is literally (yes, literally) no one who Linus is insulting here.

The person suggesting the kmsg buffer be able to reliably handle 1 byte reads is just running a test, they're not actually writing code that reads only 1 byte at a time. So Linus is not insulting anyone, he's saying that the problem would never occur in real life code, unless they were too stupid to survive childhood, in which case they wouldn't be able to write said code.

And also, why the fuck does it have to be unixoid? Sure, implement the good things. Have a proc. Make everything a file or directory. But can't we get rid of the 70's bloat? What we need is a new kernel. One that implements unix virtues but isn't afraid to not be posix conform. And sure, modularity is great, but let's put more shit into the kernel space. I want something that is fast.rapid.furious. Fuck old hardware. Ot doesn't need to run on anything older than 2018 when development starts in 2018. The problem I see are device drivers in general and graphics especially. I want kernel space 3d acceleration. I want a system that is capable running fucking accelerated stuff fr the command line. Like a super-framebuffer. No window manager. Direct kernelspace X compatibility. Rendering 3d by running cat on a 3d file. No X server. maybe the arm architecture would be more welcoming to me...

While I object to the CoC he implemented, I do feel bad for Linus. He just wants to code and was put into an uncomfortable position over time. Do I think this is the beginning of the end for Linux?

That's because with a clear, objective objective, there can be agreement and reasonable discussion. However, with a cult screaming about feelings of a few mentally ill freaks being more important than anything else, you can't find any resolution apart from to placate them, ignore them or kill them.

>>978449

Too much work, let's settle for a telnet client and start a BBS.

I have an idea that I'm currently looking into.

I would take pages from Trisquel, TempleOS, Gentoo and Void: strip out all the proprietary blobs and obsolete/legacy support. use a stable-only rolling-release source-based approach with optional kernel optimization.

A core focus of the os would be parthenogenesis, the installer and sources for kernel and every installed package would be present on the system so that as long as one instance of the os was functional, it could still be used to make fresh deployments on other supported devices.

It's probably a shitty pipedream, but w/e.

Exactly. BSD here I come.

>>978405

Yep, I agree. It sure does that on a very limited scale but the concept is totally there. It would be miraculous to do that with the features of modern hardware unlocked. And that probably all propriettary and much to complicated to do, so I guess due to those overwhelming circumstances Terry was in a metaphorical way very right when he said god specified temple os, in a way. One would have to find anotger architecture than x86_64, something simpler (bit able) with more predictable and less numerous hardware combinations. When you had those computers in the 80's that were, at the same time, proprietary as fuck and open as fuck (due to their simplicity and the user's general need to understand what's going on on a level getting close to or being machine code) there wasn't so much choice. And real mode dos with vga is cool too. Maybe the first thing we need would be a REAL real mode so to speak. Not like

>>It's real mode so you don't even have shit to do shit

But... godmode, you know.

Also Terry's 'hypertext' implementation needs to be praised here - Unix terminals are still really basic in a way. The coolest thing I've seen was urxvt with w3m. (and tiling wms, but if you have to startx it doesnt count) And theres this one thing that somehow uses every compositing feature to make the terminal look cool but can't even do what urxvt can do.

>>978449

Decent bait, will probably work considering how many cuckchan niggers are posting here.

>>978579

bait. but I'll say.

the old wasn't a code of conduct but conflict.

and alldevs cared more about code than feelings. meritocracy at it's maximum.

today there are a lot people that think they can't be told they are wrong and probably will sue teachers at school for doing it so. but the fact that of being wrong doesn't change no matter how much good words you sprinkle in your comments.

being corrected hurts, because it attack you directly in your weakness. but they don't understand that that's a good thing because you're supposed to learn about it.

all people claim be expecting to hear constructive critics but even so they don't like to listen them and adopt a defensive stand. muh style, you don't like me. you're a hater. whatever.

people don't like changes. and I'm not saying that responding like assholes is a good thing either. but the main issue today is trying to expose inclusion and correctness as something that was denied in the past. which is false.

Devs Never cared who you were. even if you were literally Hitler but if you did a good code then was accepted. Not all places are your fashion show to express how flavored your life is.

also. is just me or only 1st world countries with "modern Issues" care so much about this cis ningen nigger jew racist bullshit. in our shitholes, we are old lazy ugly negros that don't even care about this shit because we're all just like everyone else.

>>978845

This rhetoric is incredibly annoying (WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF????) Adding a CoC to your project is like inviting a bunch of rainbow-haired officious HR employees to police everyone. Someone already went after a "rape apologist"--so no, it's not anodyne at all.

>>978856

>>What harm could trading meritocracy for a neo-marxist commissariat possibly do in the long term?

Meritocracy hasn't been traded. The new CoC doesn't impose rules that weren't in place before.

Such as?

>>978857

The burden of proof is on you. You're the one saying Linux is dead and shit, not me.

>>978859

It's not dead but it might die. Either people start voluntarily leaving in fear of accusations or they will be accused of wrongdoings and will be forced to leave. Other CoC'd projects are the proof of that: LLVM, FreeBSD, etc. Once all the relevant people are removed, the project will either die---if it's just SJWs doing their thing—or these people be replaced with Intel, Microsoft, Google, etc. employees.

>>bragging about surrender to the rules invented to divide and conquer development

pathetic

so this is how you cuck yourself as programmer huh

>>978862

It's very strange that Linus has had such a radical departure from his normal stances. I'm convinced he was forced to give up control of the kernel and now he's being forced to give these interviews and say the things he's saying. Never forget that he was in a meeting unannounced during a con he was supposed to be attending shortly before all of this went down. That's when they got to him and told him the terms

>Either cuck or we'll make you commit sudoku with 9,000 bullets to the back of your head

>>978865

No it's not strange at all. It's called introspection and changing your mind. People do this all the time. The bit about Linuxcon is his subtle message that he wasn't going to live forever and that they needed to be able to function without him. By this stage, the Linux team and community should already know who is Linus Torvalds and all his philosophies about how Linux should be structured.

>>978873

>>978873

>>978861

This. CoCKs, just like HR departments in corporations and Title IX tribunals in academia, don't actually implement anything that isn't already covered by the real law, enforced by real cops, and decided in real courts. Instead, what a CoC does is provide an unaccountable enforcement mechanism for parasitic social climbing psychopaths to arbitrarily obliterate personal opponents.

>>978861

<rules based on politics

The rules amount to "don't mistreat other developers" that's it.

It's not acceptable to insult other people at the workplace and it isn't in kernel development, as stated by Linus himself.

>muh sjw muh victimbux muh tranny muh white genocide

Can't you build a coherent argument without resorting to emotionally-charged buzzwords?

>>978898

Why do you say that people won't argue the CoC in good faith? Are you prejudging people before they act? Why are you correct to prejudge people this way but you can't prejudge people to argue a CoC in good faith?

>>978245 (OP)

>>978246

The more I read this, the more I think Linus was a cuck who got lucky and threw away the one thing going for him because he's such a fucking faggot. Not even Stallman, ESR or Theo would give a shit about what other people think about them and they created less substantial things than a fucking Linux kernel module (with the exception of Theo). Yet, here comes this faggot, throwing all of his hard work over the last 26 years away because he doesn't want to be associated with bigots. God, I hat this dumb Uralnigger so much. He deserves everything that's happened to him in the past two weeks.

>>978901

*I hate this dumb Uralnigger (or Finniger whichever one floats your boat)

>>978882

>The rules amount to "don't mistreat other developers" that's it.

Why doesn't the CoC specify that developers must not be mistreated based on their diversity of political viewpoints and opinions? Why has that been omitted from the Contributor Covenant and when developers have asked for it to be added to the list of protected diversity categories the requests have been rejected?

>>978900

CoC has prejudged white cis males as the problem so shut the fuck up or get on with the program

>>978882

>The rules amount to "don't mistreat other developers" that's it.

What do you have to say about this link?

https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/942

He didn't mistreat anyone all he did was post an opinion on twitter. Look who's in that thread witch hunting him. Looks like the author of the CoC in question to me. Looks like the same thing the faggots do every time they manage to poz any FOSS project with it. There is no way you can defend this.

>>978904

I don't think you have any evidence to backup this assertion.

>>978847

>There's no problem if they're open and honest about it.

as long as a jew draws breath, there is a problem.

>>978905

Easy. Don't connect your personal views that have no connection to your project with your project.

>>978900

>>978900

I'm saying you don't argue in good faith because you're a fucking faggot.

>>978909

>don't express any opinion anywhere because it's connected to your project

Not how it works in a sane society. What I do outside of my projects and workplace is my business. We didn't have this problem until women and faggots joined the workforce.

>>978907

My religion states that homosexuality and transgenderism is sinful and evil. Does the Contributor Covenant allow me to freely express my religious beliefs in that regard, since religion is a protected category in the covenant?

>>978911

Do you understand that it's completely possible to express an opinion without connecting your opinion to your work.

>>978913

Yes.

>>978914

The CoC states this:

>ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Why is "inappropriate" lumped in with "threatening" and "harmful"?

>>978915

So if someone brings up the fact that they are a transgender in the project's mailing list or forum, I'm free to inform them that according to my religion transgenderism is evil and that I think they're mentally ill? Note that bringing up the fact that one is transgender within the context of contributing work to the project is just as irrevelant/off-topic as myself stating my religious convictions in that context.

>>978914

>he posts this on an anonymous imageboard

lol

>>978914

Do you understand that these faggots troll through things people said on a forum 15 years ago then accuse you of all sorts of wrongthink? Because that's what they do all of the time.

You do understand you're just a useful idiot that will be lined up against a wall and shot by those in power as soon as you're not useful anymore? Read a book it has been done time and time throughout history. Anon is wise to all of this. As I said before you won't convince anyone here otherwise. Are you farming screencaps for your followers on twitter or are you just baiting? I'm only giving out (((yous))) at the moment because I'm bored. You're not going to convince me on this point. I was fired from a job because a co-worker dug through my personal belongings, found a book, and accused me of being racist. It's how I got originally wise to this type of thing. HR and CoCs are cancer.

>>978888

Quads of truth.

>>978921

>"You fucking republican" is a personal and political attack, thus covered by the CoC.

What if they said "I don't like republicans" and it wasn't directed at anyone specifically?

>ill never be cuddly but i can be more polite

Sounds like a dating site bio description.

What a cuck.

>>978925

Sounds like Nazism to me. Also, is the poster a man? Because all men are literally rapists if they don't cut their penis off and take hormones.

>>978921

The Contributor Covenant homepage states this:

>Meritocracy also naively assumes a level playing field, in which everyone has access to the same resources, free time, and common life experiences to draw upon.

Since when is merit gauged by making assumptions about the circumstances that led to the individual obtaining the merit that they possess?

>>978931

It's real in their minds. We live in an age where all information is a mere search result away. Everyone has a device capable of doing anything in their pockets that are many times more powerful than the best desktop computer in the 90s. All books are free to read/pirate. You can even take college level courses for free over the internet and sit in on lectures remotely. None of this matters because reasons.

>>978848

yeah if it's nothing they wouldn't insist on having it but there's obviously shills all up in this thread now that aren't interested in really debating this, just like Linus who has probably been sent a bunch of pizza over the years and they've come to collect.

>>978932

Lol go away nazi! butthurt! lol!!!

What kind of pathetic tumblr bluehair raid is this. Is this the best that reddit can muster?

>>978938

Here is your (you)

>>978934

>None of this matters because reasons.

Even forgetting access to opportunity, what they're doing is trying to redefine meritocracy itself to be a judgement of an individual's circumstances rather than their ability. They are trying to make an argument for extreme egalitarianism, saying that since no one can control every aspect of their being and experience, steps must be taken to "even the playing field" (their exact words). They are arguing that having merit is a form of "privilege", and therefore those who have attained wealth, success, and power via their own merit do not deserve what they have attained. In fact they are claiming that those with "privilege" (merit) have obtained everything they have via theft and oppression of the less privileged: Therefore, socialist redistribution of wealth and power is demanded.

This is the language and dialectic that they are using, it's plain for all to see because they are not even hiding it. The contents of the CoC itself are a red herring, they want everyone quibbling over whether or not "being nice to developers as the CoC demands" is a problem or not, and for no one to discuss the fact that the CoC is an instrument of outspoken political extremists who are beholden to an ideology derived from Marxist communism.

The key is to point out the fact that the people pushing this CoC are doing so to implement their ideological agenda of redistributing wealth and power from those who have earned by their own merit because they have redefined everything earned by merit as having been obtained via theft and oppression.

you must suck the coc the earn the priviledge to write open sauce code, dont you know

>>978943

it's got nothing to do with any of that

>>978945

>it's corporations taking over

Well yes, it's obvious that capitalists have weaponized cultural Marxism to increase their profits, but that doesn't change the fact that the ideological principles that are driving the SJWs to transfer power away from those who have it to themselves (and then to the corporations) are cultural Marxist principles.

The banks and mega corporations are the one who rolled out the Cultural Marxist "progressive stack" sermons during the Occupy protests so as to divide and conquer the goyim.

I know you are too new to know this. But it's k, since Reddit is super inclusive safe space.

What you guys should take from this article is that you are the argument for the CoC.

If you engage in rational discussions using logic there is no way you would loose. The CoC is not inclusive and it encourages focus on gender and the other stuff explicitly mentioned which is the opposite of equality.

If it seems to Linus like the only ones defending his position is a group of white supremacists, he will start doubting himself and introduce the CoC. If you can't keep focus long enough to not use the words jew and nigger you are not helping.

The goal is best code, real inclusion, free speech and freedom from censorship. Not being a fucking autist.

>>978977

People who bring the freedom they get from places like this to EVERYWHERE are stupid. No better than all of those who took memes or shit from 4chan years ago and spread them across the net.

>low-life scum on the internet that think it's OK to be a white nationalist Nazi, and have some truly nasty misogynistic, homophobic or transphobic behaviour

Peak cuck. Cutting your dick off, advocating that women go against their natural role of mother, being a porn addicted faggot that is one slide on the slippery slope away from being a pedophile, that's all fine, but objecting to any of it is EVIL!!!!! :(.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with striving for greatness and seeking to improve oneself and the people and society that you belong to. Funnily the EVIL NAZI!!!!! ideology is the only ideology that actually respects women and embraces the natural role that they have in the family, which is the backbone of a society and people.

We must rid technology of these marxist fools who do not strive for improvement in all things, who only want to rot and wallow in the mediocrity that they call 'equality' - an endless lowering of all standards so that the inferior fools, parasites and do-nothings of our society become accepted and the new standard, with anything that strives to be greater ostracized, ridiculed, and deemed "hateful".

>>978845

Stop samefagging, Coraline. If the CoC was so successful and beloved by so many, then why on Earth there are so many Linux developers and users opposing it?? The only purpose of the CoC is to prepare Linux for getting fully taken over by (((Google))), (((Red Hat))), (((Microsoft))), (((Intel))) and (((CIA/NSA))). Also, only FreeBSD is sucking a CoC, other *BSDs don't care about politics at all. Politics don't have a place in software engineering. If a project or a movement tries to promote everyone's agenda, it will not achieve anything (because it can't).

>>978987

This. Also, if Linus' wanted to change because of politics, it would be the wrong reason to seek help and change. You should have your own reasons, instead of some abusive political movement, like SJWs.

>>978989

Well, whatever. That's irrelevant in my opinion. I don't really care where he got the picture, as long as he tries to contribute to the discussion. However, I think you should start thinking a bit more careful what to type, since calling out CuckChan isn't very meaningful for the matter at hand.

>>979042

The thing is when the witch hunt is over, everyone can read that Damore wrote an excellent analysis. Rational people might not be the most vocal group in the kind of debates that deviate from logic, but I believe it is the majority.

There will be witch hunts from time to time, but the best thing is to wait until they are over, because in this state of mind rationality is absent. When people look back at the facts (when they are at a distance) they tend to reach a more rational conclusion.

Then over time when you are more calm you might be able to read this conversation again and be able to weed out unfounded claims and other irrational behaviour.

By all means do defend the victims, but do it with wits and a sense of humour. People will have a hard time telling the difference between you and the witch-hunterers if you get too emotional.

Irrational and emotional people will never win, they are too busy dealing with their emotions and are easily distracted.

It's the sunset of an era and it just shows that GNU is the cuck license.

>>979217

>prevail

There's hope but I'm afraid by that time competent devs who dare to point out encryption backdoors bugs were already being chased out, blacklisted from silicon valley, remaining devs will be too afraid to speakout unless they hid their identity very well otherwise any maintainers could be the next Damore.

Look, there's no big mystery here, letter agencies and big corps have been eyeing on linux for a long time, these bluehair are just their tool to achieve that goal and from the looks of it they're close to getting it.

If they can get to Torvald they could get to anyone, you refuse their request they'll go after your family, this is how low they're willing to go. Prepare for the worst.

>>979230

If the CoC is going to be used as a weapon, it will happen through the elected board that upholds it.

>>979203

2/4 of them got deleted deleted by a mod. LOL good point

>>978283

shut the fuck up

An FOSS operative system kernel should be neutral, so it can be used by everyone.

That includes, communists, socialists, nationalsocialists, and all kind of ideologies.

CoC = only some ideologies are allowed = absolute garbage enforced by some SJW ((( devs )))

>>978274

It's a trap.

>>978283

Wait. What do you mean by "counter attack"?

No one here actually wants to make the SJWs victims.

More over how does trolling automatically make someone a nazibol?

I am against the CoC because apparently its enough to make Linus just step down to "seek help" and how in an interview he said he was accused of himself being a nazi.

ProTip: neo-fascists and neo-nazis actually explicitly support fascism and nazism

What exactly does trolling have to do with the things above?

Mind you I'm a communist. I actually welcome taking everyone's shit via force and killing the bad rich. (I'll ask nicely but if you don't agree to help the working class... sorry fam, IDC who you are. Ded.)

The accusations that Linus is somehow a neo-nazi, white supremacist, etc... it seems like the trolls are you guys.

>>978283

>don't resist the CoC

this is rape culture

>>979344

But to reiterate. Torvalds has already said he will be "nicer" but that he won't be cuddly.

Look. IDK why you all are making such a big fart about the man or developers feeling the need to express themselves.

Sure, don't use actual bad words like "nigger" "tranny" "faggot" etc and so fourth... but if I see code that is wrong and can potentially ruin people's lives...

FUCK YES, you should make me feel bad for being a lazy programmer. and YES I intend to make it well known that you fucked up.

I can't believe you FUCKS are worried more about language than addressing security by design and all the fucking security debacles out there.

Are you mentally unable to solve the problem or can you solve all these zero days like it was nothing?

What are you even being paid to do? To start internet drama about diction? Tell me then, what are the statistics of people who use actual unprofessional language?

I don't count messages that describe how much of a failure you and other people are. I'm asking about stats about actual offensive language and slurs.

Or language that alludes to tragic events as a means of insult.

>>979344

Real shit. The next time we get another heart bleed or massive zero day, how will the CoC help address the issue?

Has not having a CoC caused IDK trans people to commit suicide?

Give numbers, facts, and evidence rather than pretending to be an adult.

Grown ups have their shit together and don't do things willy nilly. EVERYTHING has a reason for something else.

Damore has a massive jewish nose. Calling him a fascist is laughable.

>>979356

>>979356

You fuckin' know it ;)

>>979359

I don't give a fuck. Acknowledging biological differences between humans is the first step towards eugenics and then fascism. Damore is a cryptofascist and yes sweetie there were jewish nazis.

When you're so lonely you troll yourself.

>>979374

Are you entertaining yourself?

>>979382

No, I get paid in XMR to post here. Would rather still be on /r/Linux or /r/Redhat but this is where I am tonight *sighs*

murica has turned him into a weak pussy. He's old and weak now. Guy just threw in the towel. Everything he built will go to shit now.

>>979384

America is a meat grinder.

None of you faggots even know who Linus is, he is from a very wealthy powerful family. His dad’s a legislator in Finland. He has been up to something or another for decades. Transmeta was bought up by some defense firm and went black project status so the rumors go. The guy is a spook, maybe more now than 25 years ago but still.

BSD was always the superior, American Unix.

>>979392

Keep sucking OSX's cock and maybe you'll finally get something of value.

>>979344

Fuck Open Source.

>>979410

You seem to be lost, I would advise you to go to >>>/botnet/

>>979413

But Linux itself is about to become botnet, it's not immediate but the risk is there. Wouldn't hurt to try out different open source projects on spare machine though.

>>978360

spoiler: The guy from your picture actually survived ; maybe Linus is trying to survive against SJW thinking that he's siding with the "winning part", thus being a complete faggot. He doesn't know it's very possible the "far right" wins worldwide, and i think he doesn't get that he's being a traitor to his people (devs and coders)

>>978489

>Anyone saying homophobic or transphobic is fucked in the head, though.

how's that, leftyfag?

Homosexuality and other mental diseases decrease a population ability to resist extintion.

>Read through this thread, equating "nigger" and "kike" with "cis white male".

>thinking niggers or kikes are on the same level as healthy white males

Why wouldn't you pick a book on scientific discoveries? We should strive to be the better man, not pander to SJW and niggers to "save them from inequality". We are diverting resources in the wrong area.

>>979553

Read again and hang yourself in shame.

>>979374

>Acknowledging biological differences between humans

Is what scientists do all the time, although not specifically in humans but in all living species. You are not fooling anyone.

If a certain group of people is demonstrably stupid and can't into logical thinking, then what's the problem in showing this fact? what's the problem in acknowledging this fact to protect your business from their stupidity?

>>978859

>Such as?

Point me to a tech company with an agenda that also makes quality software, I'll wait.

>>979543

>But Linux itself is about to become botnet, it's not immediate but the risk is there.

It's irrelevent until it happens which is unlikely considering its whole development model is dependant on others being able to work on it. The CoC will have to become largely symbolic even if it's initially enforced because it's not sustainable.

>>979635

>It's irrelevent until it happens

You do understand the concept of risk and probability right? I'm not saying it's 100% going to happen but I'm not going to sit there until it actually happened (like systemD) and come here listen to cucks tell me "it's actually a good thing".

Plus GNU/Linux is not the only open source OS, you seems to have the idea that people who abandon this sinking ship will automatically swim back to proprietary shore.

>>979610

The goal of tech companies, like all others, is to let their owners extract profit from the public. Google, Mcrosoft, Amazon etc. are exceptionally successful at this, no one cares about the quality of software beyond what is profitable.

>>979635

It already happened. Ubuntu is basically a small taste of what Google & Co. have in mind. Reminder that (You) are the product to them.

>>979691

But Ubuntu's great.

>>979649

>You do understand the concept of risk and probability right? I'm not saying it's 100% going to happen but I'm not going to sit there until it actually happened (like systemD) and come here listen to cucks tell me "it's actually a good thing".

I still don't see why it matters if it hasn't happened yet.

>Plus GNU/Linux is not the only open source OS, you seems to have the idea that people who abandon this sinking ship will automatically swim back to proprietary shore.

It's the only one with an ecosystem this large, BSDs etc are impractical for most people.

>>978318

seconded

>>979719

Linux is impractical for most people.

See, I can make blanket statements without any supporting evidence too!

>>979769

>without any supporting evidence

The low market penetration despite Linux being free is damning evidence.

Normalfags are more than willing to jump through hoops to install FREE-youtube-Downlaoder_HD_PLUS.4.5.66.notavirus.exe simply because it's free, and yet they stick to windows.

>>979784

That's because you are a normalfag yourself and don't see the vast infrastructure built on Linux. All you see is BestBuy.

Go back to /pol/ Taker

All communities with a COC must be purged.

Linus is a limp dicked cuck ans should neck himself. Pull the kill switch.

>>979941

>and don't see the vast infrastructure built on Linux.

I am talking about normalfag, since the discussion is about "Linux is impractical for most people" and normies are the vast majority.

A lot of industrial tools are used to build infrastructure but are trash for normies.

>>978314

Dear Linus,

I always thought you were a PERKELE for rejecting the free software philosophy. Now I see that I was right.

t. an autistic retard on the internet

>>979719

>I still don't see why it matters if it hasn't happened yet.

Because you chose not to see it, the pattern is there.

>It's the only one with an ecosystem this bloated

fix'd for you :)

>>979784

Entirely different cases.

Normalfags have an operating system that comes "free" with their computer: Windows. It does what the normalfag expects it to do and he has to make zero effort to obtain it.

The normalfag does not have a program that downloads YT-vids for him.

Do you think a normalfag even knows that Windows costs money and that you can obtain hardware that doesn't have it installed? The average normalfag has simply never heard of Linux, let alone made a conscious decision to not use it.

>>980039

You realize that the OS has nothing to do with marketshare, right? Windows is the most used simply because it comes installed by default.

If I ever meat Linus, I will say with GREAT pleasure 'Stallman was right, about you'.

Checked and double checked.
