[SgtAwesomesauce]

Yo this is the same shit as the code of conduct this is literally the end of linux fuck this garbage get rid of them before they burn it down to the ground

Probably a bit of fearmongering, but look what keeps happening.

They just keep taking, that’s how marxism do.

We really just need to embrace the Pinochet method.

I think it’s two sets of manners. How do you want your customers to see you, and how do you most effectively get things done internally.

This is pretty accurate

[FaunCB]

I like the trebuchet method myself

SHOOT DOWN THE FUCKIN WALLS

On other words, get this “I’m oppressed” bullshit out of my fucking kernel

OH NOW I GET IT yeah lets uh lets get the roflcopters goin

[SgtAwesomesauce]

Seriously.

Who seriously thinks “show me the code” is a bad metric.

I don’t give a shit who you are, as long as you write good code, I’m cool with you.

I would accept a patch from Hitler if it was solid code.

[FaunCB]

But my feewings

What fucking child is screaming at their monitor about getting shot down in the kernel submissions because their code is shit

We’re gunna end up like windows

Fuck this I’m making a video

[FaunCB]

Actually I’ll delete that just in case I get in trouble by some retard flagging me later

[SgtAwesomesauce]

Gotcha back bro

I watch this sort of thing happen more and more often and it’s getting sort of silly at this point.

We have now seen it with RMS, Linus and now ESR.

Eventually people are just going to tell these people to pound sand. I was told a while back not to post any images of RMS in a Linux based discord server because ‘he said some awful things and it triggers people’.

I am no longer part of that group and won’t associate with them.

If you are so offended at a simple image, (just him laughing), you don’t deserve my time.

edit: changed you to ‘these people’

I prefer the Human Educating Learning Program. Or non-gender specific version

That would have inspired me to post foot lunch.

Holy shit, that’s beautiful.

On a feminists pc:

$ which woman

wasting 2 keystrokes to smash through that glass ceiling.

^{Which, coincidentally only makes more work for her because now there’s glass all over the goddamn floor.}

Creating an organisation to pander to corporations

I think that’s actually a bigger problem than the people with a political agenda.

It’s even mentioned in Gil’s reply:

Given the public nature of open source conversations, the
expectations we have to participate in professional discourse

Open Source and Free Software communities weren’t workplaces when they started. They were small, informal social groups like LUGs. There was no requirement to be professional.

The requirement to “be professional” is far more burdensome than “be respectful and courteous”.

It’s not just about being professional, that’s just a pretense, it’s about corporations pushing through things that wouldn’t and shouldn’t fly in a meritocracy, and just silencing the opposition. They are effectively going full Venom on the bodies that surround the Open Source community, at first seeming to help, but eventually replacing their hosts with their own twisted version.

But honestly what did they expect? That companies hiring devs and funding projects wouldn’t be exerting control sooner or later? That these same devs, when they join organisations like OSI (but equally as valid for every single FLOSS project out there) would be impartial and put their principles before their employer?

Ironically the “real” Free Software projects are far less affected by these issues than regular “Open Source” for the simple fact that the code is actually owned by the FSF, and that, due to the GPL, these projects are just far less interesting from a corporate perspective. The result is twofold: either corporations try to actually work with devs on equal footing, or they try to replace the Free version with an Open Source version outside of the control of “principled zealots”.

Hell, some companies just replace anything they can’t exert full control over with their own version because they have the moolah and devs to do so.

This whole proposal is firmly against the ideals of Free Software. I don’t know why it wasn’t just shut down immediately.

Because OSI very explicitly isn’t about Free Software.

And it’s barely the first time that things get forced through with a big middle finger to the community at large. Systemd was a prime example of something that wasn’t ready for prime time, that no sensible person would want to run in production when it was released, but “somehow” made it into the mainline of all the big “council run” distributions.
