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 was there when it all went down and i went into detail with what i remembered about the entire thing, and some lesser known things that also happened, here.
It was discussed in the Minecraft thread from page 46 where a lot of what went down got documented. Prism devs also actively sabotaged PolyMC with what little control they still had over it to use it as an argument to take it down from Flatpak. So yeah, Prism is very fucking trustworthy. Lenny was 100% justified in kicking Scrumplex & Co off his project. Because PolyMC was his project, unlike what the Scrumplex squad wants people to believe.

So for a quick recap:
MultiMC dev refuses to add basic QoL features like installing modpacks and having an AUR/Flatpak release, so the PolyMC project is started with Lenny as the head honcho. Later on Scrumplex & Co do most of the contributions. They add a CoC. Lenny disagrees with it but gets told to get bent.

One day Lenny kicks everyone off the repo to seize control over his project. Scrumplex & Co go into full spite mode. They actively spread baseless lies about PolyMC being compromised, fearmongering that it's suddenly malware and you need to switch NOWNOWNOW. Of course never saying why or how it's malicious. The big scare was that it'll steal your MS account, but there is no way to accomplish that with the MSA API, of which they've revoked the key that PolyMC used that was apparently malicious. These lies were also spread by Mojang employees by the way. They try to take down everything that Lenny doesn't control. AUR, Flatpak, all for nothing, Lenny retained full ownership in the end. They went so far as to sabotage PolyMC to use it as an argument to get it taken down from Flatpak.

Obviously, they should've just made their own fork and keep developing it in the true FOSS nature. But these are leftists that we're talking about. They had to destroy PolyMC to make sure that their fork would be the only one that would remain, but they ultimately failed, having to resort to spreading baseless lies about Poly to dissuade people from it while keeping their own image squeaky clean despite the amount of shady, untrustworthy shit they were up to when the whole ordeal went down. Of course they've named their fork "Prism Launcher" and put the six colors of the LGBT flag on the logo, but in pastel colors so if you tried to confront them about it directly they'd do their weasely leftist semantics to paint you as the loonie that's seeing things. Because of course, a fork of a launcher that had a coup d'etat over the leftist manifesto that Contributor Covenant is, that fought tooth and nail to destroy it afterwards, wouldn't do an obvious, politically charged rebranding like this out of spite.

The best part is that PolyMC today is a solid launcher that already does everything that Prism does, the stuff you'd use it over MultiMC, but you don't have to worry about the devs being nutcases that would be the ones to implement malware into it to fight off wrongthink. And, it supports non-premium/authlib-inject play, something the troon devs would never do because "muh heckin' piracy le bad".

tl;dr: never use Prism Launcher, it is maintained by lunatics. Use PolyMC and whenever someone recommends Prism, point towards Poly and mention all the untrustworthy shit that Scrumplex and his goons were up to. They don't want people to remember that, so it is in your duty to remind everyone what they were up to those 3 years ago.
 
Is there something about Rust which makes developing new software annoying or slow?
kek
the crux of the issue is that trannies and other kinds of rust cultists are creatively bankrupt people. they love to sperg out about how everything is bad and wrong and needs to be fixed but instead of redesigning things the right way and fixing problems at their core they just want to plaster tranny flags all over them and keep them as they are. cuz now its them who gets to benefit from the broken system. rewriting random shit in rust is very much like that, they have a fancy new toy language and they have to replace the old with the same old but written with this new toy language to achieve the following
  • le memory safety (its better cuz it aint C)
  • having their fake tranny name in the commit message or license notice. look ma, im a big boy developer now!
  • no one outside their gay clique wants to use this language and contribute to this software so all the power is now in their hands
  • jerk off about how under specific circumstances with a specific set of options this one program can run up to 4.1x faster when written using the rust stdlib than its C counterpart, nevermind the fact that C++ also supports the same optimization
they know they cant build a new solution from the ground up to replace the old, its gonna suck and no one will bother to learn how to use it. so they take the old and build a clockwork facsimile to skinwalk as the old while internally fulfilling some gay memory safety spec and sucking the coc. much like a tranny skinwalking as a woman, the rust solution might in some aspects be somewhat more robust than the real thing on paper and the trannies will want to see it universally adopted everywhere in place of the original because its just "better". the moment you point to any downsides, real or perceived (using an immature language with worse dependency management than fucking javascript, lack of trust in the noname rust devs, bugs, political agenda) they will flip the fuck out and attempt to ban you from all their platforms because this was never about improving the software in the first place. if they wanted improvements, they wouldnt be wasting time on rewriting software that hasnt changed in 30 years in a stupid meme language for less than marginal gains
 
The fact that the lead maintainer uses a fucking Mac to develop Gentoo tells me enough about this cucked piece of shit of a fucking niggerdistro
I hate macfags as much as the next saucy nigger, but I can't really see what it has to do with the quality of the distro itself. AFAIK nothing really compares to the granular control Gentoo offers, maybe short of meme setups like Linux from Scratch, while Arch has systemd aids. What distro do you think is up to snuff? Artix? Void?
 
Can it draw a circle?

EDIT: no.

>take one bajillion years to release new version of software
>it still can't do basic shit


OSS moment.

I get so fucking tired of hearing how bad GIMP is because it can't draw a circle. It shows you don't actually know what GIMP is. It's an IMAGE MANIPULATION PROGRAM (GIMP) not a fucking paint drawing program. Anyone who actually knows GIMP can just use Gfig, otherwise you can fuck off to using Krita or something.
None of you have heard of the circle select tool and it shows. You don't need really need other programs or plugins, just enough skill to not get filtered.

Text manipulation genuinely sucks ass though on GIMP
 
It screams that you're not a software developer.

I'm glad for GIMP. Yes, the UI is trash. Yes, it takes more steps to do basic tasks like drawing a circle. But, if you do computer work at your job and you need to do something a bit more advanced than just a basic MS Paint doodle, GIMP will always save your ass. GNU GPL v3 means you can install and use it in a commercial setting without any worries. Hell, you don't even need to install it, you might as well carry it on your USB stick and in case of a license check you'll be in the clear.
 
Of course the guy who did a hitpiece on Bryan Lunduke and defended Mozilla spyware is defending Hector Martin now. lmao.

Him, The Linux Experiment (Nick), and Gardiner Bryant are all massive jokes.

Nico regurgitated common lies about this forum, barely scraped and dismissed the evidence of Hector having a Vtubing "career" while not showing it at all and turned off the comments under the video.

It's so blatantly obvious that Hector is Lina that not even this dude can genuinely deny it. I've heard it described as an "open secret" on other sites. Hector doesn't deny it and I feel like he actually wants to be caught, maybe he wants to be "forced" out of the egg. Wouldn't that be a fun narrative. "Kiwi Farms forced me out of the closet, they're literally trying to get me killed!". I can imagine it now "in the age of MAGA being forced out of the closet is attempted murder!". Hector is a total drama clown who loves to lean into the hyper safe-space lingo, everything is catastrophized and hyperbole to the max. The dude literally talks about "spoons" like he has white woman chronic fatigue syndrome.

Everyone can see this. Even the people who are defending him. At this point they just want to sweep him under the rug because he is the perfect example of the CoC fueled cry bully and this time he's attacked someone above his pay grade instead of random chuds on the internet.
