New Gnome Code of Conduct - It's pretty bad tbh

[AmpleApricots]

All people being smug about not using the gnome environment should remember themselves that they're probably still stuck to the gtk toolkit tons of popular software uses which, you guessed it, is part of the gnome project. While you can totally avoid gnome and I'd advise everyone to do so (last time I checked it out the resource consumption was horrendous and I doubt it got any better, I don't even talk about it's whole design) GTK is in a lot of stuff and also getting more and more bloaty and pants-on-heads retarded version by version. I try to stick to 2.0 but it's been getting more and more difficult. Everything non-CLI related on Linux was never really all that good but has been getting progressively worse in the last few years. You know your desktop software landscape is in trouble when installing and using the windows version with wine of a program that's also available natively is sometimes the more elegant and lightweight solution.

Goddamnit. I use Budgie.

Guess its time to go back to xfce.

Gnome is terrible. I've always been KDE / Plasma until recently, I switched to Pantheon and kind of like it.

what's their stance on gnoblins

KDE/Plasma is more elegant than Gnome, but still bloated. Just pick a minimal WM and your preferred tools and make your own environment.

Nigga everything is bloated. The Linux kernel, Systemd, X. the fact that dwm is 2000 lines doesn't mean dick as X is a freaking printer emulator on a port

How about making a rule on not shoehorning your political, sexual or gender bullshit into everything? Like, sorry that only a small minority of people are interested in talking about gender bullshit 24/7, but forcing your autistic hobby on everyone else is pretty stupid.

Physical contact or simulated physical contact (such as emojis like "kiss") without affirmative consent is not acceptable.

This is what probably bothers me the most. It's a fucking emoji. What kind of thin-skinned, soy-chugger, post-millennialist thinks it's an offense to get a "kiss" emoji under whatever circumstance? How is it possible that someone gets so raving mad for an ICON that they feel the need to include it in their CoC?

I don't give a shit about their racist ways, we all know it's just a pose they strike to cater their white guilt and I'm Ok if they don't like how I look under the sun but "non-consensual emojis" is suck a dystopian concept it blows my mind.

I posted this in another thread, but it bares repeating.

Lukianoff and Haidt argue that many problems on campus have their origins in three "great untruths" that have become prominent in education: "What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker"; "always trust your feelings"; and "life is a battle between good people and evil people". The authors state that these three "great untruths" contradict modern psychology and ancient wisdom from many cultures.
[...]
The authors define safetyism as a culture or belief system in which safety (which includes "emotional safety") has become a sacred value, which means that people become unwilling to make trade-offs demanded by other practical and moral concerns. They argue that embracing the culture of safetyism has interfered with young people’s social, emotional, and intellectual development.

I will always find the fact that people use "reverse-isms"/"reverse racism"/etc. really funny.

Because not only is the opposite/reverse of racism simply not being racist, what you see is that the people that push for this will tend to be racist against all groups or they will convince themselves that these people that they complain about are actually white so they don't feel as bad about belittling them over a difference of opinion.

This is virtual hugs all over again.

Is this like that one "equity" social theory thing where you gotta pick up a "marginalized" group up while putting a supposed "privileged" group down? It's a job that requires sitting on your ass all day coding and using computers. Everyone deserves to be equally miserable on the job.

I won't forgive GNOME for what they did to our boy @Coffee Anon! Just the other week he installed Fedora and was sputtering nonsense about the 'greatness of GNOME' in the Linux thread. Here's his sobering report two fucking days later.

GNOME. Not even once, friends!

(Shitposting aside, I'm sure none of us are really shocked by this development. GNOME's entire history is doing dumb things like this. Remember that time in 2012 where literally a quarter of their annual expenses were spent on "Women's Outreach" pandering?)

It's a good thing most things that go SJW are such absolute garbage I already assiduously avoided them before the cancer became the only living tissue in the organ.

Nigga everything is bloated. The Linux kernel, Systemd, X. the fact that dwm is 2000 lines, doesn't mean dick as X is a freaking printer emulator on a port

LXDE is pretty okay. Of course most of what I run Linux on now is end of life machines.

I could write a better CoC:

"Don't be assholes and focus on the GNOME project."

/end CoC

FTFY

Remember. KDE uses QT, which was developed by TROLLTECH.
Gnome uses GTK, which was mangled by mentally ill cockchoppers.

Are you a proud troll? Or a suicidal autogynophile?

Do the developers of your widget toolkit proudly sauna in the nude? Or are they afraid to post 'normal' pictures of their deformed form without using Photoshop (not the GIMP) on their MacBooks (not ThinkPads)?

Imagine how hard it must be to actually care about the race or sex of the victim and not enact discipline, depending. Not caring would be far easier, would it not?

This is what probably bothers me the most. It's a fucking emoji. What kind of thin-skinned, soy-chugger, post-millennialist thinks it's an offense to get a "kiss" emoji under whatever circumstance?

The kind that's probably a sex pest overcompensating.

The only CoC needed is one where if someone acts cancerous and cries and whines and bitches while producing nothing of use, kick them the fuck out and laugh at them.

Why are Linux community spergs so autistic? Its not even like its a recent thing too this kind of sperg has gone on for so long

It's endemic to Linux development. Also, Linux usage, but that's another can of worms. That every community involving it doesn't descend into the same nonsense just has to do with the absence of popular progressivism as an ethos.

Think of it as cultural AIDS. Having the 'tism just makes you more apt to develop or cling to stupid ideas and concepts, and do so harder and harder in the face of reason and change.

 

[fuzakeru na]

the CoC is really them infiltrating communties en masse and then changing all of the rules to suit their mental illnesses. It's happened everywhere. It's a form of control and takeover of any industry they want. Pretty soon everything will be troon friendly and anti-white. They even CoC'd Linus for fuck sake recently.

all anyone needs to do is create something, give it a NO COC license and be good.

What's the deal with the perceived injustice of not liking them for not drinking?

they ruined the freebsd community a few years ago but Linux was their final destination. Linus isn't the kind of person to be alone with a woman because they would have metoo'd him years ago. Instead they backdoored troons in one by one and then forced Linus out. Then accepted his return, if he introduces the troon brigade and apologies to them.
