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

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Someone please explain to me like I'm 5 how computer programming went from Ada Lovelace and Bell Labs to a bunch of socially- and mentally-stunted Unix eunuchs crybullying each other across the internet and living down to the ugliest stereotypes of nerds.

1. Ada Lovelace was an actual woman.
2. She was not a programmer, never mind "the first".
3. She did not have access to the Internet.

How come I seldom see them boast about new software written in Rust, but only re-writes? Is there something about Rust which makes developing new software annoying or slow? And even then, most shit written in Rust is 0.x , and Rust itself has an unstable ABI.

That is actually very common in troon projects.
They can not create something new. They can only infiltrate and corrupt existing projects.
Like how they imitate being a woman, their projects aims at imitating other projects.

Be it software, movies, comic-books, board-games, ...

Troons are incapable of making any net positive changes or activities. They can only tear down and destroy. They are corruption.
Anything they touch becomes a corrupted caricature of the original. That is the essence of troonism.

Total troon death.

Arguably, it is easier to copy something than to do something from scratch.

For some background on Lovelace, this has been deleted and can only be found on the archives:

Sadly this similar article on Amelia Earhart was scrubbed too:

Honestly, the only actual woman programmer who is worth her notoriety is Grace Hooper (lead engineer on the COBOL language). Say what you will about COBOL, but it's a batch processing language that is still running on mainframe systems everywhere. If you've ever worked in it, you can also see the beginnings of what might have inspired SQL (just my guess, no sources on that).

Thanks for the info. Also, that blogger seems to have privated their entire blog. I get he was bringing up some controversial takes, but somehow I get the feeling that isn't what made him bitch out, soooo what gives?

EDIT: Ah, he was a manosphere autist. Classic. I must say, impressive he can recognize when patterns in historical records don't add up, but tragically it's clear he was too busy doing his research and sperging about tradwife crap to look in the mirror for five seconds.

Oooooooh well!

FOSS truly is Autism at it's finest.

Unironically yes. It's only two extra clicks (or one keyboard shortcut really). As noted by Hex there also is a more proper shape tool anyway in the filters menu. I won't complain though once (if) they finally stop making design choices that expect the user to be as autistic as they are, which seems to be the way they're going.
