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

[Battlefield42]

Xiaomi went full retard (the Chinese gov also "helped" by requiring bootloader unlocks to have real id) and it's basically impossible to get a bootloader unlocked now. You need to jeet spampost until level 5 community involvment (~5 posts a day for 365 days), apply for a license with your real ID and name, and then take a timed test that would make most android devs shudder to possibly be allowed 3 unlocks a year (with a 48-hour timeout between the gacha pull).

Fuck. I didn't know it got this bad. I thought it was dumb before when you needed a fucking accoumt and a stupid app just to unlock the bootloader.

I'd rather go to XDA and just use whatever they got

I've never heard the term "DND cis-gender girl" before but apparently it means having XY chromosomes but so little testosterone that you have "ambigous or 'female' appearing external genitalia"

It means he is a current or future sex-offender and he needs to be locked up and punished like all other sex-offenders,

Spoiler: AI thread derailment

It doesn't check whether the matrix is invertible (and will divide by zero like a retard if it isn't.) I can't actually be arsed to walk through it and see if it's using the proper indices, but I also would not be surprised if it mixed up row- and column-major across different functions.

All of those.

It's also a nightmare to read. Maybe it's more performant to unroll the loop, but any modern compiler is going to unroll/vectorize the loop for you.

You'd be surprised how inconsistent compilers are.

---

4x4 matrix multiply and inverse is as simple as it gets. It's high school-level math and freshman-level C. No scary pointers or memory management, no libc, no crazy algorithms or data structures. You just write down math operations in sequence. That's it. And AI, supposedly PhD-level, can't even do that.

Here's the thing. You know what's useful? A calculator. You ask it 4 * 4, it says 16. That's useful. Sure, I can do it too, just as fast. But not when it's 32738 * 32758, a calculator is faster. That's useful. And it can do it consistently, without me needing to double check it. That's useful. Can AI?

As you can see, it can't even handle the programming equivalent of 4 * 4. But even if it could - now with Prof-level intelligence, I guess - can it do it consistently?
Even if it messes up just 1 in 100 times, I still have to check every single output by hand. As demonstrated by the responses to my post, checking trivial math in trivial C isn't trivial - and you can't be asked.

If AI works for YOU, great. Honestly, I'm happy for you. But please stop forcing AI into every programming segment. It's not a calculator - well maybe a Pentium one at best. (It's wrong, but it's fast.)

Too many people think that if you reject AI, you've got a chip on your shoulder. I'd gladly become an Islamic goat herder instead of dealing with modern tech. Might even get some ass, instead of spending my life in front of a computer. Can AI just get a move on already?

Upon closer inspection of the github profile (archive)...

So how's he different from any other Chinaman?

I thought trooning out was a hwite man disease. How often does that happen to Chinamen?

 

[Panzerfrau]

ve never heard the term "DND cis-gender girl" before but apparently it means having XY chromosomes but so little testosterone that you have "ambigous or 'female' appearing external genitalia" instead according to the link he provided. I don't know what to do with that information... Wouldn't be surprised if he still looks like a guy though

100% that's just a troon larping as intersex (very common) because he thinks it makes him more legitimate.
No real woman would feel the need to state something like this in a fucking Github profile.

 

[Samuel Fuller]

Fuck. I didn't know it got this bad. I thought it was dumb before when you needed a fucking accoumt and a stupid app just to unlock the bootloader.

It has always been total retardation to buy Xioami, TPLink, Huawei and ZTE gear, this is just a new sprinkle on the pile of shit that is CCP-controlled electronics companies and the garbage they sell.

This is why all my open source code licenses are Beerware, with a code of conduct that reads something along these lines:

This is code done by me and shared with you, which you're free to improve. This is not politics or a therapy session. You don't like it? Fork you.

One of the friend links have vtuber avatars that stare at your cursor. I don't think there's any hope for these tards.

Depends. Do you mean by "muh true and honest YWNBAW" or you mean just braindead cooper AGP faggot? The former, rarely, the latter probably same rate (if not higher) due to more braindead, pornsick, anime loving, ITfags.

Spoiler: long explaination

In the US the goverment tacitly approves the troon and prevents him from getting lynched, grants them bennies, and makes regular people's lives miserable.

In China the entire societal apparatus is deliberately set up to make it hard as fuck to become trans outside of a tier 1 (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen). Beijing less so since capital has too look nice to the big wigs. Chengdu maybe too since it has the highest AIDS rate in China cause it is equivalent to LA for fags.

You have to get the surgery to be (possibly) granted a gender change on your ID card. Good luck getting the SRS. HRT perscriptions are possible (but unlikely outside Shanghai) and require special permission. Job postings are unoffically segerated by sex. No they wont hire you as a troon for an HR role because "you will never be a (good) looking woman". You'll likely get fired for being trans (though I think you can technically sue but be laughed out of court most times). You'll probably also get beat by the bystanders if not the local cops as well in some more rural localities or if headchoppers are the predominant ethno-religous group.

Everything up to university is/can be segergated by gender. So that means uniforms, grooming standards, physicals, tests, etc. Using the female bathroom without the proper ID change means you'll probably be charged with rape (3-10 years in prison). The death penalty exists for rape and is enforced, back in the 90s there was a crackdown on promiscuity and they executed several people (men and women) for taking part in orgies/gangbangs/degeneracy (one of which was falsely accused I might add)

A man who rapes a woman or has sexual intercourse with an underage girl, if there is any of the following circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment, or death:

(1) raping a woman or having sexual intercourse with an underage girl, where the circumstances are grave;

(2) raping several women or having sexual intercourse with several underage girls;

(3) publicly raping a woman or having sexual intercourse with an underage girl in a public place;

(4) gang-raping committed by two or more men;

(5) having sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 10, or causing injuries to an underage girl; or

(6) causing serious injuries to or the death of the victim, or other serious consequences.

Jin Xing is the only transgender public figure in China I know of. Also ethnically Korean so they get the L on that one lmao. "Married" to a Kraut fag and has glownigger roots (hence actually able to get the SRS). Also bat shit crazy and talks like a raging faggot.

The internet and porn addiction are one helluva drug. I have read some of the "friend" links and these are all "STEM men" (coders, EE, ME, sys admins). These folks have the skills to bypass the GFW or a state issued licensed for VPN access so western media is easily accessable to them (Japanese media is a big running theme here) that appear to be in varying stages of brainrot. This one's just the worst out of them, another is on the pipeline since "Learning to be cute" is in the description.
Also Archfags and wangblows BTFO since one of them is an open Archfag while the other has a loli artwork of windows...

Fuck. I didn't know it got this bad. I thought it was dumb before when you needed a fucking accoumt and a stupid app just to unlock the bootloader.

I've unlocked several Sony phones and none have required an account (you do have to click through a bunch of "I agree" boxes and some carriers have sold unlockable bootloaders which you can't get oem unlock codes for). I've run zero gapps for a couple of years (still pull a small amount of closed apps from Auora when I need them) and my life has been so much better.

I deleted my social media except for kiwi/fedi years back and use my phone for podcasts, music, calendar (DavX5+Radicale), SMS, Signal (yea I know, CIA garbage but it's the only thing my IRL friends will use), and a handfull of other things. I typically get four days with 2 hours of on-screen battery usage before I need to recharge. If I'm recording a lecture, it's like 25% batter for 1 hour of 1080p video.

I'm not a free software extremist, but with the current state of Android and some of the China shit, I'm probably stuck with Sony for life (I'd go Pixel if they had a fucking sdcard slot. I want my music offline).

Not to be too offtopic but almost everything in China is phone based and real time ID verification is basically a soft requirement in society (if you're a foreigner get fucked lmao unless you have a permenent residence card).

• No wechat? Nobody takes cash these days (aside from farmers lmao), good luck paying for a taxi driver or subway ticket or ordering at a resturant since it's all "mini-apps" in wechat now
• No 12306? Good luck trying to buy tickets at the train/bus station. They sold out days before.
• No bank specific app? Good luck transfering money, head to a bank in person and waste HOURSbecause you can't 2FA on your phone, the 2FA usb stick (Which also has an improper RSA implimentation) is comically limited in transactions, and you have to physically stamp* everything twice and scan your ID to upload in real time.
• No work app? Lmao even the trash pickers have to clock in via real location now via app. Oh and you can't turn off wifi/data while your working since they track your real time location
• Wanna play vydia? Lmao get fucked, government requires real time, real ID, facial recognition for you to join multiplayer servers.
• Wanna see the doctor? Lmao good luck reserving in person since ticket scalpers got them all.
• Have to register with the PSB because lmao foreigner? Get fucked if you don't live in downtown Beijing or Shanghai, the local cops will waste hours trying to figure it out and bitch at you.
• Need receipts for tax purposed? Lmao no the buisnesses mostly don't use physical ones, even if they do expect extra government scruity.
• Wanna return something? Lmao the procedure is phone app, online only.
• Need to troubleshoot something? Online only chat.

*Stamps are ultra important in China. Signatures are effectively worthless without one for important things. If you loose the stamp you are usually in big shit.

The glory days of XDA are quickly fading. AOSP is barely open-source at this point and there's way less interesting work on XDA today. It's not like the good old days where every single device seemed to have a few kickass ROMs that were way better than the OEM firmware.

People never seem to clue in that Android was only open enough for carriers to fuck the consumer even worse than feature phones did.

As soon as Google saw actual community builds, they started subdividing and separating as much of it as they could so a non-Google Android build would be so crippled that nobody would bother anymore.

Well, Android also has a big share in embedded market, replacing Windows CE there.

When I want to feel a bit better about the absolute state of the USA today and/or predict how things will be here in ~20-40 years, I look to red China. Our senators would wet themselves if they could implement half this stuff. The sad thing is, due to the slippery slope, some day they will be able to.

I remember laughing at the Soviets because they had to show papers to get around inside the USSR. Seems quaint now. Between airports needing rectal scans to fly a small regional airline and the 100-mile-wide "Constitution Free Zone" around any border that lets CBP turn your ass inside out, it doesn't seem so funny anymore.

Looks like there's been some fuckery going on with commits to the Linux kernel tree concerning the 6.15 release.

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.16-Git-Gone-Wrong

https://archive.is/bZnMn

The Linux 6.16 merge window this weekend suffered an unexpected twist this weekend when Linus Torvalds noticed some unusual Git activity by a longtime Linux kernel developer. The issue is still being sorted through but it would appear that the possible malicious activity came down to some scripting issues around Git.

Unexpected Linux kernel mailing list drama came down to Linus Torvalds writing this message on Saturday after Linus Torvalds noticed a longtime developer "actively maliciously modified your tree completely. There are completely crazy commits in there that are entirely fake." Torvalds wrote:

"WTF, Kees?

You seem to have actively maliciously modified your tree completely.

There are completely crazy commits in there that are entirely fake.

You have this: f8b59a0f90a2 Merge tag 'driver-core-6.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core

which *claims* to be from me, and committed by me, but is very much not. It's some garbage you have entirely made up.

Yes, there is a real commit like that, but it's has the SHA1 ID of 9d230d500b0e.

And this isn't some kind of innocent rebasing mistake, because this actively lies about who committed it.

This is completely unacceptable.

I will now refuse to pull *anything* from you until you explain what the f&*^ you have been up to, because this looks like you have been doing actively bad things.

You need to nuke that tree, and come up with a good explanation for this kind of shit.

I'm cc'ing Konstantin, because I really think these kinds of games are COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, and this is not the kind of behavior we can have on kernel.org accounts.

Konstantin - please disable Kees' account immediately until this is cleared up. Because this looks *malicious*."
