https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9ghrrj/linuxs_new_coc_is_a_piece_of_shit/ The biggest problem, however, is the new "Code of Conduct." Until now, Linux had a "Code of Conflict" that set down few rules and was generally pretty nonrestrictive. It has been replaced with a new CoC derived from the Contributor's Covenant (used by X.Org and Freedesktop.org, as well as a few other OSS projects). Although this seems like a good idea at face value, this is extremely detrimental to the Linux kernel as a whole. Lets look at some reasons:
1st, the Contributor Covenant was written by Coraline Ada Ehmke. This is the same person who demanded that maintainer be kicked out of the Opal project due to unrelated political views. She is a self-proclaimed "notorious SJW." She at one time created an organization ("Culture Offset") that centred around boycotting GitHub. I'm not insulting her as person, just saying that she does not necessarily agree with the Linux kernel values, mainly the fact that she drags unrelated political issues into software, which is completely against the Linux code-only meritocracy.

SJWs are literal Thought Police, and people try to justify them for some retarded reason("Lets be friends and what does it harm?"). You're giving them future tools to punish and control yourself in the guise of "being a nice guy", once they have power(over the spineless cucks you're all are), they will change the script and rule over you as any dissent will be labeled hate speech and will get you into pariah status: doxxed, fired, shamed and boycotted. Imagine giving someone the power to paint an unerasable "Child Rapist" sign all over you anytime you step out of line or try to challenge the new status quo. Thats the future you choose.
>>26 You, however can't easily accept the reality of a situation and will have to learn the hard way. SJWs will come for you and all your sheepish excuses won't work. They're not something rational that will be pleased by sheep following the rules, they will find or invent new offenses out of thin air that hurt their feelings, call for friends and mess your life a in a space of a few hours.

meritocracy has consistently shown itself to mainly benefit those with privilege, to the exclusion of underrepresented people in technology. The idea of merit is in fact never clearly defined; rather, it seems to be a form of recognition, an acknowledgement that “this person is valuable insofar as they are like me.”
(If you are not familiar with criticisms of meritocracy, please refer to the resources on this page.)
It is time that we as an industry abandon the notion that merit is something that can be measured, can be pursued on equal terms by every individual, and can ever be distributed fairly.
What does a post-meritocracy world look like? It is founded on a core set of values and principles, an affirmation of belonging that applies to everyone who engages in the practice of software development.
Name:
Anonymous2018-09-17 14:30
These core values and principles are:
We do not believe that our value as human beings is intrinsically tied to our value as knowledge workers. Our professions do not define us; we are more than the work we do. We believe that interpersonal skills are at least as important as technical skills. We can add the most value as professionals by drawing on the diversity of our identities, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Homogeneity is an antipattern. We can be successful while leading rich, full lives. Our success and value is not dependent on exerting all of our energy on contributing to software.
That is while China strengthens their education and implements more involved University programs. Guess why most talented scientists are coming from China now. But yeah, interpersonal will be very important in the stone age, America is sinking into.

So how would post-meritocratic Linux look like? How much diversity commits can it handle before average programmers start realizing its shit? Consider how much damage Lennart alone does..now imagine dozens of less qualified Lennarts committing barely compilable C shitcode? They'll be lobbying to add Rust modules "to increase quality/safety"(to handle stream of diversity commits) or even rewrite the kernel in rust part by part(like firefox), gradually driving C coders away.
How much diversity commits can it handle before average programmers start realizing its shit?
Most programmers aren't children or paranoid schizos. When put against the evil diversity, they shrug and keep on programming. The only time a competent programmer needs to care about diversity in an open source community is when he's angry and needs to avoid certain slurs when venting.
C is the language of the Patriarchy: 1.C programs can only be run with the help of a compiler which is not present on typical user systems. In contrast, everyone has a web browser with a built-in Javascript interpreter. The barrier of entry to C only serves to keep away newcomers to the language unless they already know a mentor, which disproportionately deters minority members and women, who lack C programming role models, from entering the programming community. 2.The (destructive) C mindset of ``no training wheels'' and ``speed first, safety second'' exemplified by the lack of garbage collection and run-time bounds checking in the language is the technical manifestation of the pervasive machismo of the C programmers community. Many classes of security flaws literally exist only because male programmers want to feel powerful. 3.The C language has been created by white men in the 70s. 'nuff said. Conclusion: If the Linux kernel wants to meet the challenges of diversity in the 21st century, it should be rewritten in a more inclusive and modern, safer language such as Rust.

>>47 Thats bullshit, every aspect of your life either online or offline from the smallest comment on twitter to your entire sexual history will be scrutinized under the SJW microscope if you anger SJWs by doing anything.
We need darknet based repos/sites NOW. On the open internet its impossible to win with public presence, SJW manipulate people psychologically to push their agendas - if open source is remaining public and "open" to contributions from everyone it will not survive long.. Anonymity+darknet hosting will allow to ban/ignore SJW infiltrators without having to explain shit(i.e. external pressure of SJW witchhunts will not have any effect) and work on code in safety within vetted teams. The Current open-source model is too easily subverted(and this sjw cunt is openly gloating about it >>57 unbelievable it wasn't deleted yet).

https://lwn.net/Articles/765087/ It's good to hear that Linus is taking a, ahem, community workflow oriented break. I'm curious about the mixture of ASCII and Unicode quotes/apostrophes:
* In "It's one thing when you can ignore these issues. Usually it’s just something I didn't want to deal with.", the first and last apostrophes are ASCII, whereas the middle one is "smart";
* In "I am going to take time off and get some assistance on how to understand people’s emotions and respond appropriately.", there's another "smart" apostrophe;
* In "I know when I really look “myself in the mirror” it will be clear it's not the only change that has to happen, but hey... You can send me suggestions in email.", there's two "smart" quotes and a single ASCII apostrophe.
Did Linus compose parts of this letter in LibreOffice/Google Docs/Microsoft Office and then write the rest in a text editor?
