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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I've never been to FOSDEM. Is their lineup usually this shit? Pottering on his bloated management service? A "Conversation with Jack Dorsey"?!

Compared to last year, there are way more keynotes than usual. 2024 had 2 keynotes outside of welcome/close/highlights. To accomodate this mental masturbation they gutted the main talks. Down to 12 from 2024's 35. I'm sure it's worth it because you get to listen to Jack Dorsey shill Nostr for 30 minutes and fucking Poettering. Maybe the lightning talks will be good, you get an attempt at making an open source smart watch, kites and an honest-to-God biological woman talking about imposing memory security in C.

"Rust for Linux" sounds like it might have some fireworks.
 
I attached the patch I used in gentoo to disable the dom.push notification. Simply put it in /etc/portage/patches/www-client/librewolf/ (and rename to .patch), it will have the option automatically disabled. The patch will apply the next time you build librewolf, or you can just start the rebuild yourself.

The talk page has been removed (direct link, archive), and so has Dorsey's speaker page on the website (direct link, archive), likewise for Manik Surtani, another speaker and colleague of Dorsey at Block. I cannot find any official statements on this matter. Possibly before the deletion of these pages from the event organizers, Drew posted an update about his "protest" on January 20th (direct link, archive):
This was on the Drew DeFaggotte thread, but posted here too because FOSDEM bullshit is fucking hilarious.
 
The FSF has announced the winner of their 40th anniversary logo contest: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/fsf-40-logo-winner

Unfortunately this appears to be derivative work of another software license logo. Specifically the white dove of the +NIGGER license. The logo, created entirely by myself, plotting each individual pixel by hand, without AI, is licensed under MIT+NIGGER.

I, CrunkLord420 demand the FSF add the word "NIGGER" to their website in order to fulfill the license requirement of derivative work based on my logo. Yes, that's right, I own the concept of the White Dove in the domain of Software Licensing logos. If the FSF refuses my demands I will try to force it as a meme.

This logo is perfect. It's emblematic of the 40 years this hobo has spent grifting gullible morons out of their money in order to supply free labor to his virtual commissariat (and, by extension, the robber barons who help fund his organization). Forty years of your money just flying away with nothing of value to show for it.

Most of the software you use has a license made by and defended by the FSF. If anything, you have nothing to show for your life. To be frank. When Stallman dies, everyone will remember him and his organization. I don't think anybody will remember you.

Dear Saar,

Please reach down, grab your virgin dick and balls, and pull as hard as you fucking can until they come completely away from your body.

Thank you

Nah, a good portion of the software I use is BSD/MIT. Before that I was using Freeware and Shareware. If that hobo hadn't come along it would've been someone else, and preferably someone more competent. Fuck, I'm not a huge fan of Linus, but at least Linus ships.

Dear Commie-Saar,

No. Please uninstall yourself. Thank you.

Stalman will be remembered. His contributions to software are going to be legendary. As will his foot fungus eating and the fact he is a stereotypical commie academic that does not leave tips to wait staff proles.
