I was a dick. I realized that and will now stop sperging out. I'll try to act more reasonable in the future.
What a mentally ill paranoid schizo off meds sees:
(((They))) command me to usher a new era of NWO and forced privilege reassignment surgeries. I will now implement an anti-oppression, anti-pedo, anti-conservative module that will be embedded in the system in such a way that it is unfeasible to remove it.

It's heartening to hear that Linus is getting more self-aware. Another option he might consider is having someone else give his emails a quick review to ensure the tone aligns with his desired response.

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.

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).

well now linux will crash and burn and it'll be fun to watch
it's already plagued by security issues, systemd, etc. and it's only going to get worse, because it keeps on getting more and more bloated

>>60 1.You smugness won't payoff, every open source project will be infiltrated eventually. 2.Linux is far more important than you think, due its hardware compatibility and versatility that are used for thousands of projects and devices you're probably never knew about but encounter daily. 3.SystemD free distros exists, as well as security oriented distro with patched kernels.

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?
