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

[AnOminous]

The comments were pretty wild to me. More people there seemed upset about how harsh prison is on criminals than Reiser murdering his own wife.

I know he's had the shit beaten out of him at least once, probably more for being a mouthy sperg than his actual crime.

The Canonical debacle means there's a non-zero chance they'll hire Hans Reiser if he gets parole in the next few years.

EDIT:

I was actually reading an article on Slashdot from about a year ago. It was about Hans Reiser. He had written a letter to the public, specifically to those working on the Linux kernel, lamenting the removal of his filesystem. The comments were pretty wild to me. More people there seemed upset about how harsh prison is on criminals than Reiser murdering his own wife. It made me realize why Canonical got away with certain things for so long: there is a contingency super woke tech people that genuinely support police and prison abolition.

There has always been an insane, ultra-liberal core in the Linux and FSF world, so this honestly doesn't shock me at all to find out.

step 1: remove dangerous language, master/slave blacklist/whiltiest - doesn't sound too bad right

How the fuck is blacklist/whitelist comparable to master/slave in terms of offensiveness?

Because blacklist is a secret alt-right dogwhistle that actually means "niggerlist"

black list is list of forbidden things
White list is list of acceptable things

I shouldn't need to explain more, supposing you're White

The official XLibre account on Reddit was suspended yesterday for unknown reasons.(most likely politically motivated).



Meanwhile the woke rapist defenders and woke rapists like Jeremy Bicha himself are still there.

If I had a nickel for every time a FOSS project was smeared as some kind of nazi thing, I would have two nickels because I only know of xlibre and polyMC.

Is there a public directory of FOSS and hardware marked as "nazi" or "alt-right", so I can build my rig to be a worthy vessel for Cyber Hitler 2.0 GOTY?

Easy solution: when you see people making claims that innocuous references to colors are racially charged, put them on your mental blacklist.

 

[Hamsteroid]

put them on your mental niggerlist.

Or if we go by evolving violent language into even more violent language:

mentally flag them for summary execution.

Words like nazi and fascist have lost all meaning over the last 5 years. Now they tend to mean something as benign as "thing which doesn't reinforce my political view". It doesn't have to go against it! If you're not an outspoken, public ally, you're a nazi.
Adolf (PBUH) is looking down at all this and must be so confused.

They tried smearing devuan as nazi-adjacent for a while.

Hopefully this will incentivize xlibre development to migrate off of corpcuck sites like M$ Github and R*ddit. Neocities + gitlab kino incoming boys, I can feel it.

 

[Creative Username]

M$ Github

this is why i have been writing off xlibre
the only people who choose github first to develop free software in 2025 are either pajeets or really out of touch

gitlab

gitlab is sort of corpocucked as well
if you can't figure out cgit and a mailing list you're a soydev

also kiwi farms used to have a git forge but it died in the keffalcaust

 

[Hieronymus Lex]

Neocities

Too tranny-infested.

I disagree. If your project isn't quite well-known in the first place, building your software on GitHub is a good way to get more people into contributing (though that also gets jeets and trannies who would push a CoC into your project).

For what it's worth, GitHub is a pretty good site for discovering new projects.
