It seems free and open source software is dominated by liberals who won't tolerate conservative viewpoints. For example Leah Rowe and libreboot, Richard Stallman and (are examples even needed with him?), FreeBSD and plenty others with their code of conducts, and even some OpenBSD devs (twitter.com/phessler ; twitter.com/henningbrauer). Is the end product more important than the creator of it?

You can always use TempleOS if you want something written by a good Christian.

I think it's only the conversation that is dominated by liberals, because liberals love to make everything political, they love to talk about themselves and signal virtue.
I'm a fascist Jow Forumsack but I keep that to myself when discussing technical stuff, because that's irrelevant.

This

I think free software appeal to different people for different reasons.
Stallman is more of a communist than a liberalist. (Means of production should be owned by the people) where liberals want individual freedom. Conservatives want to preserve freedom, but stability is more important than freedom for them, so they are fewer in numbers. Outside of the big moneymaking companies, free software developers are usually in academia where people also tend to be left leaning.

nope. There's a vocal minority of SJWs that bully people and demand to get their way. And some are afraid to tell them to contribute useful code or fuck off. Codes of conduct don't compile into useful binaries, they are a total waste. It's great that some people - like Linus Torvalds - tells these people to go away. And free software projects should do this. It's different in commercial settings, it really is and it's important to be aware of this these days. Some random thing you wrote as a joke on your personal website or twitter or something may be used against you. I've seen free software projects where SJWs have demanded to have the main contributor removed for a comment. In that case it's easy to ignore but it's different when they try to bully your boss into firing you.

or, just delete fb and twitter.
Maintain a personal website, use it for portfolio and random articles/tutorials shit relevant to your project.
Whatsapp/telegram/signal/discord/TS/Riot are enough to engage with your normie family/friends and autistic vidya/coder friends.

You have to admit shes pretty hot tho. Just not mentally stable.

Get real, people on both sides woth strong political opinions do it. This thread was started by a conservative. There's people here who constantly moan about women in tech and so on and so on. The field is just dominated by liberals so their voice seems louder.

Kike Stallman stopped making good software 25 years ago and only waste money to lobby for democrats and travel the world to spread his cheap yoga, marxism and memes

Just use C# and Java along with their standard libraries and frameworks to code everything. Spring and .NET are quite anti-hipster/SJW. That goes double for Java EE. Better yet, use Oracle tech (free tier where you can) as part of your stack. God mode: IBM stack.

and most of those people also don't contribute meaningfully to free, as in freedom, software.

There's a positive correlation with testosterone and conservative viewpoints. Most of these programmers sit on their asses all day in front of a computer so their testosterone is low. Get more programmers into lifting and you'll see more conservative programmers.

There's a negative correlation between being smart enough to code and marrying you sister. Get more programmers to inbreed and you'll see more conservative programmers.

I'd love to see this correlation but something tells me this is pure fake news bullshit.

Nice quads. From my own personal anecdotal evidence, I used to be a hard left wing liberal as was my best friend until we got into lifting I was fat and she was a lanlet but we both wanted to look like Zyzz and now we're both pretty conservative. Hormones do change the way you think and lifting does affect your testosterone.

There is a huge difference you're ignoring. Nobody will contact your employer or demand that a free software project exclude you if you virtue signal and spew out leftist garbage. Nobody will try to shut you up.

These days, and I know this has not historically always been the case, conservative people tend to value free speech and respect other peoples ideas. They won't try to get you fired or try to ruin your life if they disagree with you, they will simply ignore you.

This difference probably explains why it seems like there are more leftist dominating free software projects - because in some sense they do. It's not always easy to tell fat ugly feminists to go kill themselves when you know they will try to make your life miserable in any way they can.

>Is the end product more important than the creator of it?

How does this affect anyone? FLOSS can be altered by anybody, you can make your own forks and nobody's political views should affect you nor your products or any software you use.

You're comparing means of production with software on devices you buy ?

Software is not the same as "means of production". You are clinically retarded if you can't tell the difference between a factory machine and a bunch of binary code. Intellectual "property" is a scam.

That pretty much sums it up. I'm willing to bet I'd get a lot farther in the tech field by telling interviewers that I'm a mentally disabled transfeminine asexual than by demonstrating any actual computer skills.

billionaires like the rothchilds run everything. they hire the liberal and place them in each industry. Things like ubuntu, which is just south african government propaganda get popular since they're being funded to put in all the effort to market and develop it. Its the same with all the other mainstream garbage. No one is doing it for free. No one wants to believe it either since that would mean you would have to abandon all the meme technolodgy and software you had and use something like TempleOS on a Commodore64

Racism and sexism isn't conservatism. Stop conflating your shitty prejudices because the conservatives are pandering to you to get your political support for their actual goals. The FOSS community is making sure that you and people like you know that you are only welcome if you behave like a proper human instead of a disgusting chud.

This is a big important difference. I'm with Stallman on the whole software should be free idea - specially software written for or paid for by governments (should be public domain). But I don't apply that to the rest of the world. If I write a small program and you copy it then I still have my program. You can't copy my car. If I give you my car then I no longer have one. That's a pretty big difference.

That's why you always hear about dumb cuckservatives complaining about how (((liberals))) control everything. Maybe if they decided to get off their asses and get educated instead of tending to farms all day they could actually contribute something meaningful to the world instead of posting frogs on reddit.

I have absolutely no problem with software, purely because of the political views of their creators (I say that as someone with rather controversial beliefs).
But if their team features a lot of people who aren't white males, then I always become a lot more careful.

Conservatism is dominated by fear and has abandoned critical thinking, reasoning and objective analysis of reality. It still exists so deplorables have a sand box to play in but real professionals run the machine.

Actual "Racists"(whatever that word means), hate conservatives for being absolute cucks.
Do you think Jow Forums has anything but hate for the average neocon?

>I'm not politicizing at all
You literally just called a meme cartoon that points out hypocrisy, "political". Last I checked, no political party has a monopoly over retardation.

>free & open-source
>conservative
pick one

I think the free/open source way of thinking just aligns well with liberal views. At the same time, it also aligns well with economically left wing views.

From my experience, open source (specifically open source, not necessarily libre software) advocates with an economically right wing attitude tend to fall into two camps: either they're of the "practical" type who believe this is simply a superior way to develop software, or they're idealistic libertarians who just love the word "freedom". Why all the talk about the economic right and left, well, I just think the two to some extent (nowadays, a little less) also go hand in hand with the liberal-conservative axis.

I'm a socialist myself and fairly liberal, and also care about free software. Personally, I tend not to care about the personal views of the writer of the software, but I care about licensing - if there are two products, one with a permissive license like a BSD -type one, and one using the GPL, I'll pick the GPL. I don't think most people care about who wrote the software either.

I have noticed though that in the "newer" world of open source software, where people believe Github == Git and Javascript/Ruby/Python or similar is the language of the day, there does sometimes seem to be an overly political atmosphere. But I think this is really just the webdev space and stuff related to it for the most part. It seems its these socially-liberal-but-economically-conservative middle-class people who are part of the hip startup culture that go around asking for README's to be changed to use gender-neutral terms and whatnot. You don't see that in low level library development discussions or such, not usually.

To be honest I believe its the same thing we're observing all around - the middle class has a void to fill in terms of bitching about something and since they can't even think of changing the economic status quo being so well off themselves, they can only pick irrelevant identity politics to virtue signal

True, but it kinda depends on whether you consider 'classical liberals'/'libertarians' "conservative" or not.

Most of Jow Forums aren't actual racists though, they're just alt-lite.

>if there are two products, one with a permissive license like a BSD -type one, and one using the GPL, I'll pick the GPL.
Even if supporting it purely for ideology, the GPL is kinda hurting its own cause imho:

no, with your cartoon you are implying is a SJW, even though only said that you are politicizing and have an aggressive attitude. Also, the cartoon has words like "muh diversity" and "progress", which are very political.

Also, why is the poster hypocritical?

When I say "Jow Forums" I do not include redditors who migrated there from Jow Forumsthe_donald.
The redditors obviously eat up the shit the neo cons feed them.

Who cares? If it isn't a social network, at that point you are deliberately digging for something to upset you.
