Based on appearances alone, what do you think of them?
I figured attention whore and real programmer.
The person on the left is a woman.
But it was a lie.
Does she complain about sexism and discrimination in her work? Is she a feminist? Does she lean left or right on the political spectrum?
I already want to harm Drew DeVault in Minetest for writing like this.
The person on the right is Scott Guthrie, Vice President of Cloud and AI at Microsoft, giving a talk about Azure’s cloud services. He lives in an $11M house in Hunts Point, Washington.
Oh no, guys, he got me. I'm totally owned now.
On the left is Alyssa Rosenzweig, main developer for the free software Panfrost GPU drivers and a trans woman, talking about how she reverse engineers proprietary graphics hardware.
Good for him.
You and I have a lot more in common with Alyssa than with Scott.
Gee, I never thought of it that way. I also have even more in common with the people on imageboards who write Free Software and hate trannies, but I guess that won't come up at all during this struggle session.
As recently as February, her Wikipedia page was vandalized by someone who edited “she” and “her” to “he” and “him”.
We have always been at war with East Asia.
Appearances should not especially matter when considering the merit of someone considered for a leadership role in our community, be it as a maintainer, thought leader, member of our foundations' boards, etc.
Gee guys, I don't recall Drew writing that last time. In fact, I thought he had written exactly the opposite, but I suppose the knockback from that approach was too great for him.
But it’s not my appearance that causes any controversy: someone with the approximate demographic shape of myself or Guthrie would cause no susurration when taking the stage.
Look at that, a Latin word I know not yet. I now have a word of the day for today. Thanks Drew.
It’s those like Alyssa, who aside from anything else is eminently qualified and well-deserving of her leadership role, who are often the target of ire and discrimination in the community. This is an experience shared by many people whose gender expression, skin color, or other traits differ from the “norm”. They’ve been telling us so for years.
I don't care. I'll never care. People hate trannies because they constantly try to target children and greater society with their weird fucking delusions. People hate niggers because they burn down cities when the news commands it of them. Program or shut the fuck up.
Is it any wonder that our community is predominantly made up of white cisgendered men when anyone else is ostracized?
Again, I'm reminded of the idiot bemoaning how volunteers can't be forced to accept people like corporations can. Of course, psychological operations on those volunteers are used instead to retard their work.
It’s not because we’re predisposed to be better at this kind of work.
It is. Everyone knows it is. Find those few counterexamples that aren't Asian and compare them to their greater populations and realize it is.
It’s patently absurd to suppose that hackers whose identities and life experience differ from yours or mine cannot be good participants in and leaders of our movement.
If they constantly try this bullshit, then no, they can't.
In actual fact, diverse teams produce better results.
As noted, diversity of thought isn't allowed, and what actually produces better results.
While the labor pool is disproportionately filled with white men, we can find many talented hackers who cannot be described as such.
Now talk about US prison statistics, Drew.
Moreover, there are a lot of damned good hackers who don’t look like me, and I would be happy to follow their lead regardless of any other considerations.
Feel free. Stop trying to tell me I should play along. I fucking hate working with others most of the time.
The free software ecosystem (and the world at large) is not under threat from some woke agenda – a conspiracy theory which has been fabricated out of whole cloth.
Everyone in this thread knows this is a lie. MicroSoft and Google fund trannies to infiltrate and destroy groups, among other things.
The people you fear are just people, much like you and I, and they only want to be treated as such.
Yes, and that just so happens to involve calling a man a woman, right Drew?
Forget the politics and focus on the software? It’s simply not possible. Free software is politics.
Right now, comrade Drew would be lined up against a wall and shot for trying to conflate the cause with divisive issues while the enemy still lives.
I couldn't immediately notice the tranny, so I assume the photograph was a particularly good angle for him.
It's a shame. I've always wanted to go easy on Drew, since he had SourceHut, but it's clear he'll run it into the ground sooner or later, because he's foolish.
He's an autism of one. (and God bless)
