I can't find the "free developer swag" video but apparently it's in Hindi only.

He made it private but what a fucking chad move. Letting trannys get a nice taste of their replacements.

Redditors explain why racism and sexism are worse than Hans Reiser murdering his (CIS) wife.

 

[glow]

Is ReiserFS still in use anywhere? I thought it was still in the kernel for legacy/compatibility reasons. I'm not sure what advantages it has over ext4 or xfs these days. The wikipedia page for Reiser4 looks like it was written by the current maintainers themselves (describing problems as 'completely solved' for example).

He's up for parole in 2023, so he could actually come back on the scene and start submitting patches again. I'd love to see the reaction in light of this recent business of making kernel development a "safe space" - what if he comes up with something genuinely useful but it's tainted by the hands of a literal murderer? Does the patch get rejected despite being an improvement, leading to greybeards (and anyone interested in Linux being a best in class OS) complaining at Linus, or does he accept it and take on the SJW onslaught?

Reading through the Hans Reiser story again he'd make a good tier 3 lolcow:

1. Gifted programmer starts a company
2. Goes to Russia, gets a mail-order bride
3. Brings her back to the USA, makes her CFO of his company
4. Money starts disappearing
5. His dad confront her
6. She divorces him, gets a restraining order, joint custody of the children
7. She disappears, he loses custody of the children
8. Cops can't find the body, they arrest him anyway
9. Offered a 3 year plea deal, he rejects it, goes to trial
10. Gets convicted anyway, eats a life sentence
11. Suddenly remembers where the body is and gets that down to 15 years to life
12. Sued by his children for what remains of his net worth
13. Refused for parole this year, won't get another chance until 2023

Actually a surprisingly lenient outcome by American standards.

I just can't wait until he gets paroled and starts contributing to OSS again, that's when the real fun begins.

1. Offered a 3 year plea deal, he rejects it, goes to trial
2. Gets convicted anyway, eats a life sentence

Friendly reminder to all our fellow virgin-with-rage kiwis, the US conviction rate is in the upper 90s % (98.x% last I checked) and will be until 12 Angry Men becomes compulsory viewing for all children and manchildren.

E: apparently the conviction rate isn't quite that high. See below posts for citations.

 

[Safir]

Offered a 3 year plea deal, he rejects it, goes to trial

"The judge said he would have approved the deal to bring immediate closure to family and friends of the victim, and to prevent the young Reiser boy, who is now 8, from having to testify. The judge said it would have also spared taxpayers the expense of a trial."

"I bring you closure by letting the murderer of your child walk (almost) free. I will also cause horrifying psychological damage to her child by judging him too much of a pussy to achieve justice for mom. Also law enforcement costs money, let's abolish laws." You know what else brings "immediate closure"? Vigilante justice.

Recently, a decrepit lib-famous Russian drunkard (who incidentally has an aiden lolcow daughter) crashed into a commercial driver and killed him. Much fuss was made about which relatives of the victim "forgive" the perp (which would supposedly affect the sentence). The trial was endlessly discussed in tabloids and produced much m;lk and ragebait, but the notion for "forgiveness" went completely unquestioned. The victim is dead. He can't forgive anyone, and no one should have the right to "forgive" the criminal on his behalf. What insanity is this even, making murder legal if the target's relatives are in on it. (The perp got 8 years, but he'll probably get probation on appeal.)

https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/354978/responding-to-the-lavender-letter-and-commitments-moving-forward

I want to start by acknowledging the hurt and exhaustion that the members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies have experienced in our community as moderators and users. We have read the Lavender Letter internally and repeatedly discussed how we can support you in the future. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to speak with some of the authors of this letter in a call and in chat, for which I am grateful. They were gracious enough to share specific experiences and struggles to help me understand the letter and how we can better support their needs.

We want to apologize to the LGBTQIA+ community members for the hurt they endured from our inactions or actions in the past. There are numerous members of the LGBTQIA+ community and a network of allies (among which I count myself) at every level of the company, and we all want to better support you going forward. I am sorry that this letter took so long to respond to publicly. We have been working behind the scenes to understand the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community and to be able to get to a place where we can schedule and commit to timeframes for these responses. We have had a lot to work through internally to better support our entire community, but this topic is important to us.

In the Code of Conduct, we state “We don’t tolerate any language likely to offend or alienate people based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion — and those are just a few examples.” To clarify, this includes discussion questioning or debating the legitimacy of someone’s race, gender, sexual orientation or religion. Further, the debate or discussion of whether or not you want to or should use a person’s pronouns is both offensive and alienating.

Based on the letter and subsequent conversations, we are making these commitments to address the concerns raised:

• All members of the Community Team and selected members of the Public Platform Team have already taken 13 hours of Diversity & Inclusion Training. This training has been coordinated and advised by our own internal diversity & inclusion expert. We’ve also been provided with resources for best practices in using pronouns and to help us better identify microaggressions specifically towards our LGBTQIA+ users.
• Teachers’ Lounge moderation tools are on the roadmap for the Public Platform team for Q4 of this year. This will allow the room to be moderated like other chat rooms. The second module of Moderator Training will focus on Diversity & Inclusion, and will be launched by the end of the year.

Clarifications on the Code of Conduct and our commitment to enforcing it:​

• We’ve established a new procedure for handling CoC violation reports: If the CM looking at it deems that it’s completely not actionable (meaning it can, without a doubt, be dismissed outright), they must ask a second CM to confirm. If the second believes it should trigger an investigation, one has to happen. In a case where the complaint is against a moderator, this will trigger the Moderator Conduct Review Process - any CM can opt out of the investigation if they feel biased and the remaining CMs are randomly assigned.
• Where appropriate, we commit to reviewing and revising the Moderator Conduct Review Process to ensure fairness and openness, while addressing much of the feedback we have received about the existing process.
• Our Privacy Policy prevents us from sharing whether or not action was taken against third parties due to a report. However, we still want to provide the reporter with closure, and are working on automation to let you know when the report is closed. You should receive an acknowledgement once we start work on it, and at the end of the month we’ll send a batch response to reports that were dealt with during that month - letting the reporter know the matter is now closed.
• We have heard complaints about alleged Code of Conduct violations from 2019 and earlier where the public perception is that a thorough investigation was not carried out, or that the user may not have received a sufficient warning (or other consequence). As we said above, we are unable to comment on the specifics of any case. And while we understand and empathize with the pain involved in these issues, we are not going to reopen old cases at this time. We are optimistic that these types of events will not recur. That said, an investigation into a new Code of Conduct violation will also include an evaluation of any previous issues whether or not the user was officially warned, and these can influence the result of the investigation.

We believe these commitments will better enable our staff to support LGBTQIA+ community members, help our 550+ moderators learn more about how these issues impact their sites and guide them in how to handle effectively situations that may occur. We are taking a strong stance to protect the LGBTQIA+ members of our community and ensure they can participate safely in the network. I hope that the Lavender Letter’s authors will continue to share and collaborate with us in the future to identify more opportunities for improvement. We commit to listening to your concerns and responding appropriately to improve the community experience for LGBTQIA+ members going forward.

I tried to figure out what this is about, and it seems to have something to do with the Jews, which might not surprise many KF readers.

Stack Overflow Inc., sinat chinam, and the goat for Azazel

On Friday, half an hour before Shabbat and two days before Rosh Hashana, Stack Overflow Inc. suddenly revoked my moderator status on all sites where I had it. I found this out while handling flags...

judaism.meta.stackexchange.com

Basically the TL;DR was:

* Stack Exchange is a question and answer site, nobody gives a shit about pronouns and they aren't relevant
* SE's resident autists have chat rooms where they hang around and bitch about shitty users or whatever
* One day the SE management said 'gee, we have this site devoted to facts and science and shit, that's great and all but what we need is a tranny policy, to reflect the inherent transphobia of facts', so they went into a chat room and said YOU MUST RESPECT THE SHE PEEN BIGOTS
* The entire site's second most-senior https://meta.stackexchange.com/users/162102/monica-cellio moderator (who is a Biden supporter https://twitter.com/MonicaCellio) said 'um, could you clarify'
* She was demodded for questioning the she cock.

All subsequent incidents of 'transphobia' amount to trannies complaining about replies to the original 'fellate the tranny cock' policy and saying how those replies literally murdered and suicided them.

Anyway, now SE has given its management 13 hours of tranny/BLM training, so everything is better. Yay!

Any time I see "exhaustion" or "fatigue" in this kind of context, or referring to "emotional labor" or "doing the work," or "I'm a stronk queen but I'm tired" or any of that quasi-spoon shit, I'm immediately done with taking the speaker seriously. The fact that SE opened up with that shit in their reply tells you how much of that specific flavor of whining has been going on.

Gonna need some sauce on that because the BJS says it's 70% for murder, 68% for felonies taken to trial within a year, and 59% for felonies overall.

He must be talking about federal conviction rates (https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=6506), which are high but not that high. Only immigration offences reach 98% because those are so cut-and-dry. Violent crimes reach 91%.

Now, those are only conviction rates, you have to get arrested first. Of course, I imagine the arrest + conviction rate for 'murdering your wife' is probably about as high as it gets for any kind of murder. Not a good idea, if you want to get away with murder. Poor analysis by Mr. Reiser.

This specifies "adjudicated" cases. I would assume this means cases actually taken to trial. Something like 95% of cases are pled out though. However, this usually involves some reduction of charges, otherwise defendants wouldn't plead out. So the BJS statistics from that page are somewhat vague as to what they're actually saying. In any event, the vast majority of criminal defendants against whom charges are brought are ultimately convicted of something, because almost all of them are actually guilty. Contrary to popular opinion, prosecutors, as vile as they may be, are not just going around filing bogus charges against people for sport.

Oh, that guy. A YouTuber who makes a lot of videos about Linux and other FOSS and usually puts meme characters into his thumbnails.

In his entire RSS feed there is a single mention of alternative hypothesis, a single mention of radish magazine, and two whole mentions of moldbug bruh. I get that even that limited association makes you far right in current year+x, but that doesn't actually mean anything practically, it's just a snarl word.
If anything he comes of as a kind of dorky classical conservative, and that's not such a bad thing really.

It's abuser talk. "Why can't you do anything right, you fuckup, I'm so exhausted with you." They have no expectations or obligations, it's all on you to walk on eggshells around them, their likes and dislikes. And when they're upset - sorry tired - then it's all your fault.

It's so absolutely toxic, but the tech community tolerates it for reasons.

It's so absolutely toxic, but the tech community tolerates it for reasons.

Not just the tech community. Anywhere these BPD-addled nits gain a foothold will, sooner or later, become a never-ending stream of the same jargon. The reason this behaviour is tolerated is the same reason an abuse victim stays with their abuser.
