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

[Kofi Drinka]

So Canonical replied to Lunduke. Long story short, Jeremy Bicha disclosed his criminal record upon hire. Canonical always knew he was a serial child molester. Canonical implies that this is okay since it wasn't a computer or fraud related crime. Ignoring the liability of having a registered sex offender represent your company, especially at conferences, which are a big part of being a professional FOSS person. Crazy.

I can't even, the edit: Imagine all the times we've heard about how political opinions create unsafe work environments, but not a chomo? Come on. Would you leave your kid, or really anyone with that guy? Of fucking course not. Chomos are constant re-offenders. Chomos get out and immediately run out to a park to molest a kid, happens all the fucking time. No mental gymnastics needed, everyone instinctively understands this guy needs constant direct supervision because if you relax he might just try to rape you with a dildo. That's not a safe workplace, sorry. What is your HR team doing? This is lawsuit fuel. It's perfectly reasonable to feel unsafe around a serial child molester, and juries would agree.

Giving a pedo an excuse to travel the country for conferences is exactly the type of cover they need to abuse children in difficult to track ways. Knowing he was a serial sex offender who targeted young children is a reason not to hire him for any role he has to travel for.

He also has access to your back ends and has potential to host things on your servers you wouldn't want hosted there.

Oh well, time to move to a different OS, any ideas?

OpenBaSeD?

 

[Haramburger]

If this was the best candidate for the position, imagine what the programmers in Ubuntu are like who applied and didn't get the job *shivers*

 

[Benzo Samurai]

why the fuck would they do this lol

 

[Slav Power]

Steam treats it like an X-box 360 controller

Because that's what it fucking is. XInput as an API is just a way to map the X360 controller 1:1. Guess what the XBO/XSX controller uses for communication.

HAPPENING : Kaldaien, the developer of Special K, a very powerful modding tool for gaming where no official modding support was ever provided has had a CRASHOUT where he's deleted his 20 YEARS OLD STEAM ACCOUNT in protest of Valve's policies while praising Epic Games, Windows Gamestore and Gamepass as avenue to escape Steam's DRM. He's been getting shit constantly in his comments on his github now.

Shame he's a massive sperg, Special K on itself is a very good tool. At least he's the autistic pedantic technical type of sperg, not the political me vs them kind.

Open Sores is a Tranny Pedo Furry Bar. Not only were Bicha's actions normal for the community, they are canonicalized and celebrated in their favorite works of Japanese pornography.

Yeah, it's very unforunate that the time of genuis autismos in IT is gone, now it's just gooner autismos.

"Even Ubuntu" as if a bunch of hyper-autistic trannies sitting on computers all day isn't a child molester haven by default

I just didn't know about this up until this point and though Ubuntu was some serious contender for OS for those who don't want Windows. (I'm technically illiterate)

That is the most autistic corpo response I've ever fucking heard to hiring a chomo. What???

I'm still not exactly sure what happened to make people think Xlibre had anything to do with Nazis in the first place.

I'm still not exactly sure what happened to make people think Xlibre had anything to do with Nazis in the first place.

Probably because of one of these statements or something else Enrico said:
https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/blob/master/README.md (archive)

This fork was necessary since toxic elements within Xorg projects, moles from BigTech, are boycotting any substantial work on Xorg, in order to destroy the project, to eliminate competition of their own products. Classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics.

Right after journalists first began covering the planned fork Xlibre, on June 6th 2025, Redhat employees started a purge on the Xlibre founder's GitLab account on freedesktop.org: deleted the git repo, tickets, merge requests, etc, and so fired the shot that the whole world heard.

This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed.

It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome.

Together we'll make X great again!

I'm still not exactly sure what happened to make people think Xlibre had anything to do with Nazis in the first place.

The developer behind it is explicitly anti DEI, anti leftist and so on, as he stated in the project README. Then the queers dug up some old emails from him and they found some stuff that could be considered Nazi apologist: https://web.archive.org/web/2019040...rker/message/20181010.191925.ee1331b6.en.html.

Winston Churchill: "We will force this war upon Hitler, if he wants it
or not." (1936)
[...]
> Lets be perfectly honest here, Germany started both world wars.
WW1 was clearly *NOT* started by Germany - the only mistake of the
Emperor was officially declaring a war, that was already going
undeclared. And WW2 was forced upon Germany, and the allied
rejected all the numerous peace offerings from the German side.

ACK.

He even drops a transphobic dogwhistle at the end, oh no .

That's the kind of attitude that makes a lot of the FOSS software so shit these days. These people are incapable of admitting to any wrongdoing. They'd rather side with a literal child molester than admitting to the "nazis" (read: everyone who disagrees with them) that they did a wrong thing. These are the same people who publicly flog and unperson somebody over a spicy joke on a mailing list 20 years ago. How can you work with and trust people who are willing to go to such lengths to argue in bad faith?

Easy, when someone they don't like does or says something, it's an "unacceptable ideology" or "Nazi activity" which they are courageously fighting against. Meanwhile, anyone just accused of being a "Nazi" is a totally acceptable target that you can go scorched earth on.

The amount of people being accused of being a Nazi without showing much actual alignment with National Socialism is insane. It's such a poor label at this point and I'm immediately suspicious of someone when they toss that label around these days.

I am REALLY surprised that Canonical is standing up for this guy, because corporations usually fold instantly when it's revealed that one of their employees isn't squeaky clean. Remember those fellows some years back that made some "dongle jokes" at a tech conference? They were immediately sacked. It's really odd to see a corporation saying "well, the crimes weren't THAT bad...".

It's also sad to see the amount of people that take a decidedly apolitical thing, like a windowing system for *nix and turn it into an "unacceptable ideology" and reject it for political reasons. So much for making decisions on technical merits. Is Alpine going to have to start doing background checks and purity tests on each author of their dependencies? Better hope there are no Russians or Republicans in there, because that's going to be really awkward for them.

Good thing I use linux mint and not pedbuntu

I don't think being reactionary in an OSS project makes sense at all. You're just giving the libtards fuel to "burn" you. Just make good software (Xlibre fails at this) and be neutral (Xlibre also fails at this), and have your thing be undeniably better. You also scare away possible contributors (who can be normal people and still not agree with you politically).

Some deranged retards will attack your project regardless (see Drew on Vaxry), but that'll eventually pass and your project will be used widely, and people using it won't be associated with any particular political group. See: Hyprland.

I especially dislike Xlibre because of this. If you *actually* want a X session that works, use normal Xorg, or Xenocara on OpenBSD, or KDE Wayland with XWayland (as it is complete, but I can see why you would not want to use KDE). Avoid reactionary software, it's not good for you or anyone, you're just the other end of the horseshoe.

They have more political and just general bias than any corporation, at least other companies have to listen to the market while these guys are un-boycottable unless there is a huge cut in donations.

There are open source companies like GNOME that make their money from donations, but Canonical and Red Hat etc. make their money by selling services, mainly official support and a name to blame, to enterprise customers. In fact, Canonical's recent financial report stated that two of their customers each contribute more than 10% of Canonical's total revenue (Microsoft is probably one of them).

Because that's what it fucking is. XInput as an API is just a way to map the X360 controller 1:1. Guess what the XBO/XSX controller uses for communication.

Yea, the real thing we should cancel them for is the fact that they incorrectly handle Nintendo controllers.

Imagine all the times we've heard about how political opinions create unsafe work environments, but not a chomo?

The only real sins in the mind of shitlibs is racism and homophobia.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

The Linux community has pedophiles? I'm shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

 

[Miller]

I can't even, the edit: Imagine all the times we've heard about how political opinions create unsafe work environments, but not a chomo? Come on.

They might be thinking like that meme "I may be a pedo but at least I'm not rude".

Oh well, time to move to a different OS, any ideas?

I've been using CachyOS for a couple of months, I like that it's optimized for gayming. I don't think it's pozzed (yet).

Honestly this opens my eyes further to how FOSS is no better than companies that want your money to use their product, and in this case, worse. They want you to pay for security updates as they shortern the list of benefits from one version to the next so they can claim they "have longer support than before" but each iteration of Ubuntu adds less and less and the standard support gets shorter and shorter.
They have more political and just general bias than any corporation, at least other companies have to listen to the market while these guys are un-boycottable unless there is a huge cut in donations.
Such a shame the mainstays of the Linux and FOSS communities have gone from a minority of furry degen pedo apologist fags to being the majority. Most people that have the brain to do these things have gone into the trades/engineering because they aren't autistic to do this work for nothing, many will be future millionares.

Linux and FOSS would have been in a better state if they had said "NO" to Coraline's CoC. I think it was over the second he got his foot in the door of GitHub.

why the fuck would they do this lol

His sex offender status is litterally the first thing that comes up when you search his name.
