Why should I have to virtue signal in order to do free coding labor for you?
Get your free labor elsewhere then.
lol
LibreOffice happened because people didn't like where OpenOffice was going and hated the guy in charge of it
you cant possibly code if you dont respect blah blah blah
Entire distros and OS' happen over personal disputes lol
that they do
Or someone just being a dick with the IP
What happens when the CoC is baked into the license?
looking at you redhad
Then it's not FOSS and you fork from before that point
Bigots fork your project and get hit with a lawsuit.
EZ
>ingsoc v4.1
>shitposters fork 4.0
Wow
Such a loss
its crazy to think that microsoft could become the closest thing to an open platform
Wot
if linux gets closed off and changed
is all i meant
It literally cant
ya i know
but for the bulk of people they will stick to the main builds
All the corporate support then goes to the ingsoc fork and shitposters are back to a dozen nerds doing shit in their free time. Sure it might still exist but progress grinds to a halt and you lose most of your software library because it's not being updated anymore.
so for those people it will be closed off
>a dozen nerds doing shit in their free time
You mean the basis for all of this
^^
Look, back before linux took off it was virtually unusable. The difference in usability between Red Hat 5.2 and Windows 2000 was like night and day.
Also Linux is not a normie kernel. People have fights over systemd and vim/emacs
If the license stopped being FOSS on later releases you'd lose a ton of support
Who are the corporations going to back? The SJWs or the shitlords?
yep
Neither
bullshit
Neither of them are a substantial audience lol
the sjws already have pretty much everyone convinced they are some huge group
>Microsoft is going to back a group that wants to fuck over Microsoft
Ok
or at the very least
that they speak for a very large group
microsoft has mostly stayed away from all of this
But they dont want to "fuck over microsoft" they want to "help microsoft stop being racist"
which they will
So help them isolate themselves
they will stay totally out of it all
so they can just be the arms dealer selling to everyone
they are the nic cage lol
MS didn't have to do shit because the community fixed it
The system self corrected
huh?
you lost me there
The specific instance being referenced
The anti ICE non FOSS license
The MIT license change and the Linux CoC are two separate instances.
oh oh i gotcha
my bad
Linus leaving and linux gettinga CoC are a clear victory for SJWs.
That shit is just going to spread into everything now. Anyone who resists is going to be a target.
i cant help but giggle at Linux getting some coc
>a version of fork-able niche software got a coc
>this shit is going to spread into everything
Actual alarmism. It already tried to spread into everything
And saw losses lol
i still think it will more about adding monitoring tools to the systems for easier remote spy capabilities
That's a bigger concern
thats why they want linus gone!!!
What are they going to monitor for?
unknown, but once they get webservers to update with the new "critical security patch" they will find it
thats how it will play out too
and every admin will have to install the update
for compliance or worry
and the last piece of the network is online
they already got ms, apple, and android
only thing they are missing are all those linux webservers
unix too, but that will get the same security update
yeah, i understand how it's a problem. but i think we need to be specific about what we're afraid of having monitored. because "im in ur interwebs stealin' ur datas" is not something that really frightens people anymore. it's been normalized. if we're specific about what we're afraid they're going to use the data for, it's more likely to provoke a response.
agreed, the softtargets will be the easy open web, websites
the hard targets will be using it to finish their darkweb sniffer
Like for example, I'm afraid of Dick Durbin writing bills outlawing online pseudoanonymity.
agreed
i feel that
I don't want my political opinions associated with my real life, mostly because I don't want antifa jackasses going after my family.
but how can you enforce that
Government surveillance is a bigger issue than SJWs
agreed
if everyone does it how can you enforce it?
So when we're talking about being monitored, we need to make it clear that you can be at very real physical risk.
Government might be SJWs before long.
its a valid concern
they get to label whoever they want and can just find you out in an instant
totally
they mostly have the ability already, just to be clear
or they can make statements of who you are or label yourself
but they are still missing a few parts to the machine
Oh yeah
I'm pretty sure that if someone at Google really, really wanted to they could find out who I was without much trouble.
Then they could just leak that somewhere.
But I'm not worth the trouble.
I'm some random nutter.
ya, i wont lie, i have already seen that as a possibility
it was why i was a lurker for about a month before i started to talk
because ya, putting the 2 and 2 together is like 10 minutes worth of work
getting the information out there is about 5 extra minutes at most
i just jump in who cares
