Diseased Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

[Rusty Metal Skull Gun]

The reason for abandoning "rape" as a general term isn't pure wokeshit. It's becuase "rape" carried a bunch of common law baggage with archaic definitions that don't really cover the kind of conduct that is today proscribed. It used to be that the elements of the crime of rape included that the victim have been previously chaste, as well as having physically resisted (even if that would have just gotten them killed).

It was essentially a sort of property crime where the real victim was the father who now had an unmarriageable daughter.

So "sexual assault" is generally just sexual acts committed without consent, and it's fairly recent that some form of affirmative consent is required. Even though "consent to have sex forms signed in triplicate" or even "yes I want to have sex" spoken verbally is not a legal requirement, some form of indication of consent is necessary.

That's not my understanding of it. I only know about England and Wales, other legal traditions may differ.

Parliament was really reluctant for years and years to define what rape actually was, presumably because of squeamishness (even when they were defining what exactly GBH was, etc.). Rape nowadays is the unwanted penetration of the victim's vagina, mouth, or anus by the offender's penis. Quite possibly the courts were inferring consent if the victim didn't resist, though I don't think that was ever part of the offence.

Sexual assault is any form of unwanted sexual touching - so yes, technically including rape, but only in the same way that murder is technically also assault.

I've posted this elsewhere (on the tranny thread?), but I think that sexual assault came to be used as a euphemism for rape just because the word "rape" is taboo, plus a certain brand of feminism having an interest in making it seem like rape is everywhere. It's motte-and-bailey stuff.

I'm reminded of Null's discussion of brazen liars on MATI. That in essence some people take advantage of an implicit trust that such a big claim isn't entirely made up to deceive people into believing total fabrications.

You literally cannot trust any of the people making these accusations, they're all weirdos and nothing was ever investigated. They cite German law at the time, which is very convenient given it's beyond most of us to interpret what the law said. Given any pushback, they send you to the carefully crafted Wikipedia article, as though such a notoriously inaccurate site should be the ultimate authority on unproven rape allegations.

At this point I simply don't believe it unless they have 10 DSLR cameras providing a full Coach Cam view of the encounter. I feel bad for Applebaum, these people are ruining his life and attempting any legal remedy would likely end in total disaster given the current year legal systems in most western countries.

Maybe a bit of a powerlevel, but I used to visit the Chaos Computer Conferences every year religiously, flying to Germany every time just to have a good time with a bunch of other fellow retarded nerds. Just drinking Club-Mate with a couple of other weird nerds who loved hacking weird shit. The Chaos Computer Club got so completely pozzed that the last 4 or 5 years I didn't go. It's completely been taken over by the people who think "it's current year so $thing is $reason_why_it's_bad".

This bullshit around Appelbaum, who admittedly was a weirdo the couple of times I've seen him online, but generally did great work for the Tor project, which was mostly "trust me bro, he totally raped me" as proof makes me happy I didn't go the last couple of years.

Don't forget how they assaulted and kicked out Vincent Canfield (cock.li hostmaster).

I'm not talking about Parliament or the statutory definition of rape, but the centuries-old common law abrogated by current statutory law, and why some drafters prefer to avoid the specific word "rape."

Code of conduct enabler denies adding Kick.com to the list of the OBS Project configuration presets, saying that "the platform supports and encourages detestable and vile content and creators, and we as a project do not want ourselves associated with it" (GitHub, Archive). Porn sites like Twitch and Chaturbate are OK (GitHub, Archive).

That's no exaggeration either - this comment is completely accurate. Joel Bethke (Fenrirhviti) has basically contributed jack shit.

What (allegedly) is the problem with kick.com? I never heard of this site, but I mostly just see computer game stuff? What's the "detestable and vile content and creators"?

I don't see anything on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick_(service) either.

That just means Wikipedos haven't gotten around to making it a hitpiece.
Here is a hitpiece they would likely use:
Twitch’s rival new streaming platform Kick features white nationalist and extremist-linked content creators (archive)

Shame nobody reminded them that OBS was happy to parter with:
1. Facebook, where the NZ shooting was live streamed for over 45 minutes.
2. Twitch, where several shootings were live streamed. Most recent in buffalo i think?
At least neither has gambling though!

edit; Wait that's wrong, Twitch allowed gambling for years but only stopped a year or so ago? Youtube also allows gambling.
I guess none of them are as vile as....kick?

It's Twtich but for EVIL DEPLATFORMED CHUDS like Joah. That's it really.

There was a hit piece on it recently about gambling and allowing the journalists' political opposition on. This is also similar to why Odysee and Rumble aren't allowed on NewPipe. The german faggot dev's cope is that he only allows sources that abide by German speech laws because he doesn't want people exposed to hate speech on the front page.

Currently out of the top 26 categories 2 of them are "slots" and "casino jackpot" with 33.3k and 33.1k viewers respectively, twitch never disallowed gambling, not even in its most blatant form as this.

Kick is where that retard Johnny Somali was streaming himself being a public nuisance before the Japanese got sick of his shit. https://poptopic.com.au/entertainme...mali-will-spend-5-years-in-a-japanese-prison/

It's also where gambling streamers, like BossManJack, make fools of themselves while losing enormous amounts of money.

Be fair; programmers on MicroSoft GitHub aren't concerned about privacy like this, almost no differently than on MicroSoft LinkedIn. Corporations have been successful in largely eradicating the desire for privacy amongst hackers. The fuckwads over at Google even see fit to make demands of volunteers, such as by telling them they shouldn't be anonymous nor have the option, for reasons of security.

I wonder if this means we'll be seeing an OBS fork.

Glad someone else was also looking into him. Here's some stuff I found
His Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/Rirnef
Works as "Sr. Incident Reponse Analyst at CDK Global"
His parents are Margaret Bethke and Paul Bethke, both 65
He also has a brother, it seems, Jeremy Bethke (33). Not sure if it's the same as this fat fuck from his 2015 DDR video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jp3xXnyjyc
I have a different address, "1975 Mccormick Ln Hanover Park IL 60133", it might be an old one, his Facebook says he lives in Grayslake, IL
Other reported numbers are (847) 548-7323, (920) 623-5372 and (630) 289-7194 - all unconfirmed

There's a pair of arguments to put your real name in your contributions to FOSS projects. It can aid your portfolio by showing what you've previously worked on. It's a requirement in projects like GNU or Linux for tracking attributions and authorship. And related to the previous one, in 2022 there was the scandal of malicious contributions to the Linux kernel, if anonymous contributions would have been allowed then it would have made things much harder. But if bigtechs say that the reason is only security and nothing else, then they are spewing bullshit.
