Out of curiosity, if someone were to violate the +NIGGER license, would you have to go out of your way to defend and enforce your license publicly? I.E., Dox yourself.

The FAQ clearly says you can just start a cancellation campaign, anyone can. The +NIGGER is a kafka trap which traps kafka traps. It's like a cyclical logical fallacy feeding back in on itself and the only way to stop it is by saying "actually this doesn't matter", but even saying that leads back into the kafka trap unless you've truly disavowed the ideology which created the kafka trap in the first place.

I think I figured out how to properly gate keep people out of your hobbies randomly shout racial slurs at the top of your lungs and if anybody has a problem with it kick them out immediately foolproof gatekeeping

Paradoxes of Openness and Trans Experiences in Open Source Software (researchgate.net)
In recent years, concerns have increased over the lack of contributor diversity in open source software (OSS), despite its status as a paragon of open collaboration. OSS is an important form of digital infrastructure and part of a career path for many developers. While there exists a growing body of literature on cisgender women's under-representation in OSS, the experiences of contributors from other marginalized groups are comparatively absent from the literature. Such is the case for trans contributors, a historically influential group in OSS. In this study, we interviewed 21 trans participants to understand and represent their experiences in the OSS literature. From their experiences, we theorize two related paradoxes of openness in OSS: the paradox of openness and display and the paradox of openness and governance. In an increasingly violent world for trans people, we draw on our theorizing to build recommendations for more inclusive and safer OSS projects for contributors.

21? Barely scratching the surface...

In an increasingly violent world for trans people

The authors reveal their insanity from the go.

The lack of focus from academic researchers on trans OSS participation is striking, given that trans contributors have played a vital role in both computer science [ 45 , 76] and OSS over many years. Examples include Coraline Ada Ehmke’s creation of the Contributor’s Covenant [78], Sage Sharp’s efforts to improve communication and inclusivity in Linux [39], and Audrey Tang’s translation of OSS books to Chinese.

Only the last of these three is anything like a contribution. Shoving a CoC down projects' throats and "improving inclusivity" are not contributions to Open Source. Translating books is marginal.

Nahtzees!

P14 described multiple instances of it interacting with OSS projects at different extremes of inclusivity, from extremely trans-friendly communities to those filled with “literal Nazis.”

The interviewees admit nothing actually bad happens to them for being troons, only "microaggressions":

Contrary to our initial expectations, participants in our study encountered minimal direct attacks based on gender identity. While broader online experiences included instances of transphobia, negative encounters in OSS predominantly manifested as what participants termed “microaggressions" in contrast to direct, intention aggression

Example:

P8 described an instance where she promoted a very similar contribution as a (presumed cisgender) man, but her contribution was ignored while the man’s received community feedback and messages of interest.

This is much like feminist delusions of persecution. The reality is, bringing something to a GitHub repo has always been a crapshoot. Sometimes you get no engagement, sometimes it takes off. It is highly unlikely anyone cares about your username or identity. Also, "very similar" could be hiding important differences.

Moderation work is often performed by under-represented groups [ 85, 112 ], and women and trans contributors frequently perform community-oriented labor in OSS

Translation: Wokescolds come from "under-represented" groups.

Lots of word salad:

The key resource our participants were left with was discourse: entering the fray of discussion to argue for one’s perspective. Discourse itself requires resources. CoCs and the processes of moderation provide grounds to which participants can point to for arguing the unacceptability of certain behaviors. CoCs create common ground, a key resource in discourse.

The openness of OSS disproportionately burdens under-represented contributors as they labor to not only manage their own visibility, but that of their communities as well.

The image they included to introduce that comic is the real banger.

You see, unlike gays, lesbians, and bisexuals, we trans don't tear each other out of the closet against our will. Like your typical girl I'll compare this situation to a Linux distro. Also, in the spirit of open source I'm putting these brilliant remarks in the public domain.

...provide grounds to which participants can point to...

I know the whole thing is chock full of botched formality, but this one set me off. If these MIT and CMU PhDs are too dumb to rewrite a phrase to remove a dangling preposition, they should just leave it in; their sycophantic readers won't notice or give a shit.

Not just dangling, but totally redundant as well!

That's not the point of the post to which you responded to. Please increase the care with which you read with.

Funny enough I had the same issue with Ttrpg game design the people in open source software are having but it was a degenerate weirdo read a problem with me using harsh language when criticizing his designs.
The world needs to bring back fighting words and judicial dueling for disrespect and all of these people would shut their mouths you don't like my code or my additions to the system I will fight you to the death sir pistols at dawn.

There is no consequences for being a **** anymore

What is it with Arch specifically that attracts Troons and the most insuffurable Linux users in the world? I understand there's significant overlap there but its not exclusive.

I never understood the hype of Arch, starting up KDE in Arch for the first time led to a billion errors and a few DE crashes before I found out it was Baloo related, and disabled it. Never had this problem in any other distro.
A "pacman -Syu" shit the system up in a few weeks anyways so I haven't used it since. Seems like a Toy for speds who think they look cool for copying 5 commands from the Arch wiki.
Gentoo is a far better rolling release due to not being bleeding edge with its packages like Arch is (despite the compiling downside) that I never had stability trouble with, after 3 years of use as a daily driver.

At first I was shocked they even made an Arch Linux T-shirt in that size. I don't know what that size would even be called. But then I remembered it was Arch Linux.

Elitism. Those people have one thing in common: they lack talent and personality. They want to replace it by a superficial skill that they think makes them look cool and intelligent. Arch's installation process is more complicated than Windows or your average Linux distro and requires a basic understanding of how to operate a command line so that you can follow a tutorial on a wiki. Even if in reality, Arch's strengths only come after the installation, and it's ass-backwards installation process hinders it's wide adoption and popularity, and is an unnecessary PITA that exists just because it can.

Those people are so empty inside that it takes so little for them to build a massive ego. Their greatest skill is following detailed instructions and they make their whole life about them. Only Gentoo overshadows Arch in it's elitism since there you don't get a single command cutting out 95% of the work for you.

but it turned the guy into a 56% la creatura

You say that like it's a bad thing.

and yet the Gentoo install process is just as complicated and none of the Gentoo users seem as insufferable. Then again, I guess there are just a lot fewer of us out there in comparison. Maybe Arch hits that minimum threshold that leads to easy elitism?

 

[Redeemer]

Arch is genuinely elitist in the negative sense. Compared with say the Gentoo or suckless communities, I mean. There's a kind of elitism to aim for where you don't pull any punches but are still supportive of people who are confused.

I used arch for 9 years and every time I went to the forum, it was so clear that they are total midwits who think they deserve a cookie for using arch. And if you question why anything in arch is the way it is or forget to pass a flag to pacman, I have never seen a more hostile reaction on a technical forum.
