>Toward the end of April, Raymond Nicholson posteda patch to the glibc manualremoving a joke that he didn't think was useful to readers. The joke played on thedocumentation forabort()to make a statement about US government policy on providing information about abortions. As Nicholson noted: "The joke does not provide any useful information about the abort() function so removing it will not hinder use of glibc". On April30, Zack Weinbergapplied the patchto the glibc repository.
>Richard Stallman, who added the joke sometime in the 1990s,askedthat it not be removed. The resulting discussion touched on a number of issues. Carlos O'Donell, who has been trying hard to resolve the issue with some degree of consensus,suggestedthat the joke could hurt people who have had bad experiences associated with abortion. He proposed a couple of possible alternatives, including avoiding jokes entirely or discussing such issues in a different forum. Stallman, however,repliedthat "a GNU manual, like a course in history, is not meant to be a 'safe space'". He suggested the possibility of adding a trigger warning about functions that create child processes, since childbirth is "far more traumatic than having an abortion".
The SJWs won tho, right? I can't find the joke in the man page for abort()
Jordan Brown
Childbirth more traumatic than abortion? I would argue opposite. Many less of a whore women have lifetime lasting trauma for their decision. I do agree that we should keep jokes. Just because fuck fun police.
Nathan Wilson
Jow Forums likes to pretend he's just a fat jew but in reality he's pissed off trannies who tried to make him lose his job and women get offended by his wording and clout.
They want to topple his philosophy based on his personal character. The funny thing is that he was unintentually offensive. He was also very understanding and non aggressive when pressed.
He was literally being merit based and not selecting based on gender ect. Yet the tranny still decided to use him as a matyr and make him the example to the foss word.
Thankfully it backfired and the tranny got btfo by the community.
tldr: When even trannies see Stallman as "le huwhite patriarchy"(yet they aren't scared to attack him) you know he's doing something right.

They're talking about forking right now, and many people are already denouncing GNU and the FSF and not donating to it (it relies on donations). Is this the end for GNU? >sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-05/msg00197.html
>"a GNU manual, like a course in history, is not meant to be a 'safe space' well he's right about that. Also, ever since 1990s NOBODY wanted it removed or had any real vocal complaints about it? Really? It just so happens that now, in 2018 known as the age of the SJW riseup, this joke is seen as so highly innapropriate and needs to be removed ASAP or the whole project will be splintered? Christ, these people are sick

>an overwhelming number of maintainers agree to remove noise cluttering up documentation, not even part of the actual codebase >stallman steps in and claims an authoritative position All he had to do was agree the community was in the right right, even though he didn't agree. Instead, he killed his life's legacy by taking a ridiculous position. Nobody will take him seriously now, especially not the technical maintainers who put hours upon hours into developing glibc and other GNU projects.
>muh do not joke about XYZ because it can offend someone :(((( sjws are such a pussies, I bet they never really go to school, because other students make muh jokes abour their faggotry ;((((

I agree that the joke is fine (kind of lame but whatever), but he should really have just caved for the sake of the project. Fucking autist.

I don't have problems with women contributing to my projects, almost all of them say that working with me is really nice and pleasant -- I suspect my lack of using jokes like these to highlight issues critical to women has a lot to do with that.
>You all can say you want more women to contribute to free software, but to do it, you have to walk the walk, not only talk the talk. For every step forward that we make with initiatives such as Outreachy, at least one step is erased with stuff like this. Which is more important? The joke or fixing the actual diversity gap?
>I have seen the BSD community stand up for plenty of things, including the right for people to use their software and the right for women, LGBT spectrum people and other minorities to be comfortable in their projects. This is something where the FSF should be showing leadership. Instead, on this side, we not only fail to deliver, but proceed to defend the asinine behavior of it's present leader. It is time for the free software movement to do soul searching. Otherwise the diversity effort is for nothing. Is he right, did we fail to deliver?
Jacob Perry
Didn't have to show weakness. He could've just said "sure whatever lol" and looked like a badass.

Seriously who cares about these sensitive cunts? If they can show they can do shit well, then good, but if they keep whining about muh feelings and aren’t even good then back the fuck off back to their college safe spaces.

Man I miss the old America. You can’t say what you want these days without some rainbow color haired faggot physically assaulting you.

4) Traditionally, "normal video" (as opposed to "reverse video") was white on black. This implicitly condoned European colonialism, particularly with respect to people of African descent. UNIX System VI now uses "regressive video" to refer to white on black, while "progressive video" can be any color at all over a white background.
Sorry, I thought you meant it in the usual Jow Forums "any Jew ever" way.

Easton Nguyen

Christopher Russell
People who willfully kill their unborn children are not traumatised by it. If they think killing their own babies was bad then they would not abort in the first place.
Gavin Murphy
That's bs and you know it. The vast majority of abortions are because the child has diseases that will kill either it or the mother if left to "live". The worst imo being one where the babies brains liquefy shortly after birth.
Caleb Collins
Yeah, that honestly sounds like the only solution-oriented solution where you're actually doing what's best for the project.

God he should change his name to soiboi fagget. Literally no one cared, and the joke is not the reason women don't want to get into IT, and it's kinda insulting to imply they're so fragile that a lame joke would keep them out.

If you make a fork of Linux and call it Alpine Linux, fine, but that's not what Alpine is. It's a usual GNU-like system with software that has small footprints. It's not Linux. Linux is this: cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.16.7.tar.xz
