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

Ok this is epic: Some blue checkmark beardy wierdy decided it would be a good idea to ween John Sullivan at the FSF (and it won't let me upload the recording here, the extension isn't allowed)
Hey idiot you're supposed to yell julay or pretend to be bob or batman or something. retard.

Also LOL he's a muslim. How does he feel about mohammed shacking up with a 9 year old

I've been convinced for a while that cancellation culture is something that's farmed by more powerful actors in the background to quiet people they don't like. This really does give some credit to that theory.

It's really a pity what happened to modern tech and software development. Besides all that wokeness garbage that just leads to inferior attitudes towards the work at hand, the whole stance about elegant code being essentially useless as long as you can shit out something quick in python with dependencies on about 800 libraries really sits very unwell with me. People that call themselves nerds but don't care that their init system they don't understand eats half their ram and will happily buy new product to compensate. That's not the "tech world" I grew up in. There are too many people in tech that really shouldn't be in tech and just pull everyone around them down to their level, an attitude that's even encouraged in woke ideology. It was a better field when it was just for the few and the autistic. The elitism served a clear purpose.

Even then it was still generally welcoming and inclusive af. You get out what you put in and too many people seem to think they're entitled to get more out than they put in.
The fucking scary thing right now though is just how unapproachable some of these topics are in some circles.... just look at that stallman thread by Sarah Mai, anyone questioning is getting labeled as some racist/misogynist/whatever.
Thankfully though, there are lots of great people in tech that seem to be resisting this kind of thing.

I always hate when libertards say shit about "going Galt" but maybe they need to. Just quit supporting this bullshit. The people actually doing shit can just stop or do it on their own. See what good a thousand dangerhairs who write nothing but CoCs will accomplish.

Exactly, this shit does nothing to really help the community.

On another topic though, this person here is worth keeping an eye on. They popped up on an exceptional tech slack group I used to be part of, spewing shit like this everywhere:

If they believe the idea of meritocracy is white supremacy, they must believe merit is inherently white. If it were, then being a racist would actually be entirely justifiable.
 
A strong woman in tech has called out Richard Stallman himself for saying among other things it's not rape if a 17 year old consents and has compared his comments to Sandy Hook.

It's time to watch the guy who wrote the GPL and pushed for free software to get torn down by stunning and brave women in tech.

If you would rather use software with propriety licensees than use libre software because Richard Stallman said the same thing he has always said, you don't care about free software.

Looking awfully white there. As is Coraline. I'm sure they'll be giving up their jobs to people of colour aaaaaaaany day now.
 
What a surprise, some dangerhair freak who wormed their way into the Open Source community actually doesn't give a shit about it at all and just wants to destroy it with SJW bullshit.

And is talking about wypipo bla bla bla privilege.

What's this?

Kat Marchán. Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft.

Yeah tell me more about privilege you seaweed haired cunt.
I looked into this a bit with the intention of proving you wrong but I think you're right.

First of all apparently she did a "Film degree" in college.
>Reminder that you don't need a degree in computer science to do really cool, meaningful, advanced work in this industry. Please don't let it stop your interest or ambition.

I couldn't find date of birth but her Github started around 2015.

So yeah, ~4 years experience, no CS degree and a Senior Engineer at Microsoft? Indeed, tell us more about "privilege".

Looking closer at the open source side.
It looks like she only contributes to Rust and Node, both notoriously optimized
to be as easy as possible for beginners. Chick doesn't even know Python by the looks of it.

Her Github page says 900 commits in the past 12 months, sounds impressive until
you dig a little deeper.
You guessed it, the vast majority are minor documentation and config changes.
Even worse is she splits related changed to different files across different commits just to boost her commit count.

This chick is the definition of diversity hire. The only reason big corps like Microsoft hire them is to stop them and their friends from reee'ing about how evil big corps are.
 
Imagine being an old idealistic RMS-like hippy boomer or GenX libertarian coder who got in to Linux in the early days. The 90's hacker type. You spent decades toiling away making linux great hoping one day all "information would be free" and everything would be open and great. There would be no big evil companies like Microsoft anymore and people would be in full control of their computers.

Now fast forward to today... Everything you built has been used to build a massive surveillance police state and the fruits of all your labor are owned by IBM, Google, and literally Microsoft.
And on top of that the people who control these companies all want to see your kind publicly disgraced and killed.
 
Does anyone actually use rust for reasons other than "Mozilla shilled it"?
It's "amazing new features" are either stuff you could already do in C++ or stupid shit that makes coding a huge pain in the arse.

But they have a code of conduct! Oh, wait, so does Node. Poor thing is probably terrified to use any language that doesn't protect her fee-fees. This is what happens when you tell a Dangerhair "learn to code" and they actually kinda follow through with the absolute minimum. They do not become a programmer. They become a pest afflicting programmers.

Rust isn't exactly high on the Tiobe index. Mozilla's shilling lacked the same pull they had when Firefox was the top web browser and every non-Wintel platform had Firefox. More people write in ASM, Lisp, COBOL, F#, or D than rust. Rust is mostly favored by obnoxious techies and troons and it shows. Places like /g/ consider rust a trendy fad language used by trannies and lolcows.

And well, considering the community around the language it's easy to see why it has that rep regardless of your opinion on it.

This rampaging turbo cunt is complaining about "Corporate Explotation" while working at FUCKING MICROSOFT! Microsoft the one who is taking Google Chrome , ripping out the "DANGER WORDS!" and rebranding it as Edge 2.0?

Irony got off the bus two exits ago, the new driver Hypocrisy is driving this fuckwit full sped ahead right off a cliff.
