General thread for discussing Codes of Conduct and other attempts to take over technology with political aims and enforce behavioral constraints. Point out languages and products that try to force politics on their users. It's become commonplace for tech startups to virtue signal, and for large open source projects to attract users who contribute little in terms of code but demand favorable treatment. Additionally, some have started including political messages in the software itself, or naming releases after issues the developer cares about. Some argue that such constraints and impositions violate the spirit of free software by requiring an agreeable political alignment between developer and user.
>>3428 There is no reason to sue random people over it as it wouldn't be worth the time, but if a big corporation infringes on the license you stand to win millions of dollars and it becomes worth it.
>>3429 >There is no reason to sue random people over it as it wouldn't be worth the time, but if a big corporation infringes on the license you stand to win millions of dollars and it becomes worth it. Grsecurity isn't a random person. They're a corporation (now) and say they're "doing well". They have govt contracts. And have done the most blatant copyright violation against linux copyright holders in history.

>>15395 True, indeed. However, Linus used to be better and not a woke cucklord. He's gotten his brain fried substantially by his daughter's influence and clownery. However, As much of a fool he has become, he's no resetera retard levels of hypocrisy. Also, so what if he's an atheist, how is that wokeness in and of itself? The part women's right to "choose" aka an abortion is best left to the states, not the federal government. Has he forgotten how many people died in countries that got under (((communist))) rule!?

NixOS has purged "nazis" who disagreed with allowing an lgbt permanent leader seat from the project and forced the former project lead to abdicate.

Why are there so many trannies in Linux dev?
>>15579 Yeah, I saw that. What the fuck is going on with Nix? Seems like they had a decent thing going, but now the troons are fucking it up.
>>15587 It seems they saw a chance to take over when the same leader was basically partnering with some military drone company that used nix a lot, and the usual software pacifism drums started beating and had to keep beating.
>>15592 So basically the troons took over the project because the founder is too weak willed to defend himself.
>>15586 The F in FOSS makes it the home of anarchists. Digital infrastructure enables an essentially post-scarce world-wide economy, it's practically made for commies.

I actually really like Rust, but it's clear to me that getting it into the kernel will be a serious trojan horse of tranny soft power

>Point out languages and products that try to force politics on their users. Contributors. A code of conduct is not a license. You are not obligated to obey it in any capacity as a user. The only time it takes any effect is when you are interacting with the developers either through submitting pull requests or communicating in issues. Think about it like this: when you step into the office to go to work, there's rules for how you can treat your coworkers, right? That's what the code of conduct is. But if you're just a customer and not someone working in that office, that shit doesn't apply to you at all.
>>18410 This is false, CoCs have been designed by and abused by people the want to go after devs they hate outside the work place. It's basically for SJWs to try to get someone removed from a project because of things they said on social media, irc, discord, twitter, or whatever else. More disfunctional workplaces will fire their employees for not towing the party line, but it's a disgusting political tool, fuck CoCs.
>>18428 >to go after devs they hate outside the work place Are they, or are they not, working on the same project? >get someone removed from a project because of things they said on social media, irc, discord, twitter, or whatever else. Okay, so imagine you are working at Microsoft, and you're a tranny. You find out the guy who regularly does your code reviews has a habit of posting "God, I fucking hate trannies so much" on Twitter. You think there might be a case for removing him from the company?
>>18571 It's not a company and you're not getting paid. Also, I've worked with people who hold political opinions different than mine. There's something about purity test bullshit that SJWs insist on and don't want to work with people of different political opinions than theirs, but it usually isn't the case the other way around. I think everyone should check out their political opinions out at the door and the only thing that matters is the quality of the code. Open source projects should be a meritocracy, not nonsense about who is better or worse than you politically or morally. > "God, I fucking hate trannies so much" on Twitter. You know, I could reverse my right tosay I hate trannies, except in reality I don't give a fuck about them, I think if you want to be the little girl or whatever you can do whatever, although how well that works in reality is a different matter - but what I do hate that is associated with 'trannies' is the fact that they often push social activism of this sort and instead of enjoying being who they want to be, it always becomes about how people regard them or if someone should be punished for not liking them or whatever - just live your fucking life and enjoy it, when it's time to cooperate on making a fucking COMMON GOOD such as an open source project - that benefits everyone that uses it - leave your opinions at the door and focus on doing good work. Forced anon might not be feasible in development, but unless someone is preventing you from contributing, leave it aside, in fact I would recommend you don't make this about your identity and just pick an anon account and contribute from that. I just want software dev to be free from unrelated social matters and just focus on making the best product so everyone can benefit.
>>15395 Textbook "My race and culture are NGMI" rhetoric.
>>18677 Just because it's a volunteer work environment does not mean basic rules of professionalism do not apply. People have the right to decide who they are going to work with, and if they want to do so with a covenant that says "don't be a hateful prick or we won't accept your patches", then that's their prerogative. Why would you want to work with someone who hates your guts?
>>18785 >Just because it's a volunteer work environment does not mean basic rules of professionalism do not apply. They apply during interaction with others. They don't apply as far as what goes on outside of work. You don't have the right to cancel someone because you don't like them. Stop bringing your (relatively sick) corporate or academic culture into what should be the anonymous internet. > People have the right to decide who they are going to work with, and if they want to do so with a covenant that says "don't be a hateful prick or we won't accept your patches", then that's their prerogative. That's fine, they can have their silly rules in their own projects, instead CoCs were pushed by activists that didn't even contribute to those projects, it was simply a power play and you have no idea how much I hate their type for doing this. It was intended to push out the original internet nerds out of their lairs. Fuck them for this. > Why would you want to work with someone who hates your guts? I have and will work with people that hate me, I don't give a fuck, I could hate them back just as well, but my opinion of them is irrelevant as well, and so is their opinion of me. I work with someone because we have shared goals, such as achieving something in particular, like improving or making a piece of software. Engineering work isn't about making a community where you can circlejerk or talk about your feelings, it's about getting work done - you cooperate with others to achieve something faster than you would have done yourself, or that would be impossible to do purely as an individual. You aren't doing it for the money, you are doing it because you care about one single fucking thing - the software (or whatever other project) itself. Software development is an ends to some means if you're serious about it, not some grand quest. I don't have to give 0 fucks about the personal doings of my collaborators, except in cases where if they disappeared something bad would happen to the project (for example they were crucial to it), what they do, or believe or act outside of that is none of my business and they better not make it either! Mostly though, I've seen enough people that realize the danger of CoC's and often don't include it, or when they do, include even a joke one just to fuck with those that would push such things. Mostly corporate or large projects managed by some non-profits often end up having CoCs pushed on everyone for the usual corporate reasons though.
