This was MS plan all along - disrupt development of Linux eventually killing it.

Umm I'm not sure that's how it works. The license if the coffee they wrote hasn't been changed.

I would rather have linux development completely stop than a bunch of mentally disabled weirdos and government spooks pushing changes to the kernel. Good riddance.

I've been saying this since day one. The best part is that when the SJWs rush to replace the missing pieces they're almost guaranteed to copy the removed code to such a degree that it'll be a copyright violation.

Do it

Linus can still just revoke the code of conduct if it becomes inconvenient. He doesn't answer to anybody.

fork when

Not sure this holds up legally but I do want to see them try because fuck the COC

Why are software developers such weak people? They never stand up for themselves.

Take it a step further and patent the APIs since legal precedent has now made this a given. Then any code that calls into their code also has to be rewritten or else it's a patent infringement.

Do it. Burn it all down. Better than giving it to some subhumans who will inherently just fuck it up anyway.

>weirdos and government spooks pushing changes to the kernel

>muh sjwsss xD
literally nothing has changed, the incompetent original author of the contributor covenant has not been made head of the linux foundation or anything like that
Jow Forums should just leave already

>Linus can still just revoke the code of conduct
Linus is completely compromised. His daughter and wife are admitted marxists, his daughter signed the anti-meritocracy pledge, and his daughter pushed him to install this Contributor Covenant.

Linus apologized and walked away from Linux immediately after just a single SJW hit piece. He's weak and not capable of fixing this.

Who the hell even approved it in the first place? Everyone seems to blame the tranny with a God complex who wrote the thing but his enablers are the real culprits.

>Not sure this holds up legally

Sure it does. In fact, even if the original license has a no-rescission clause, copyright law overrides any non-legally binding licensing agreement. Unless these contributors actually signed something saying otherwise, they retain absolute ownership of their contributions.

No one is actually threatening this because those involved (even the ones being targeted by CoC or outright banned) are professionals and realize how bad this would be for the legacy of their work. These are a handful of emails spammed by 1 or 2 shitposters and made out to be bigger than it is here on Jow Forums.

There are other forms of recourse here, and desu Ted is safe. There is SJW movement to move CoC enforcement from the technical advisory board to some fucking social group and this needs to be blocked at all costs. Abandoning and crippling Linux is not the answer, MS would have a field day.

>Abandoning and crippling Linux is not the answer, MS would have a field day.
It's already crippled. It's completely SJW compromised and will go the way of GNOME or FreeBSD.

Microsoft already had a field day when they became a Linux Foundation platinum member in 2016. It only took them 2 years to gain full corporate control of Linux.

It does hold up legally, it's a major concern for free software development.
Recently mpv wanted to relicense under a more permissive license so they could make it more modular, with libmpv. They had to call every contributor to acknowledge and say they agree with the license change and rewrite the code of any contributor that didn't show up.

This is why SJWs are a cancer. Does Linux exist to be a good OS or to promote a far left ideology? Because it can’t so both. If a programmer is banned from the project not because their code sucks but because they’re not sufficiently woke, Linux ceases to be an OS and turns into SJW propaganda.

That is one guy trying desperately to raise a personal army. It's pathetic.

Where did everything go so wrong and who's enabling this faggotry?

That's good news, but the bad news is kernel developers will never do this, because they are weak nerds.

All it took was one New Yorker article and Linus surrendered. He is not strong enough to fight this and Linux is going to end up like FreeBSD.

Are we starting the Microsoft conspiracy posting already?

Do you think Linus feels anything over this? I imagine it must be soul crushing to have things turn out the way they have, both with his daughter and the Linux project. Well at least he's rich, right?

>Do you think Linus feels anything over this?
No, he's a weak person. His daughter shamed him for being a sexist shitlord, and there was one smear piece in the New Yorker, and that is all it took for him to give up.

The SJWs are probably amazed at how easy this one was, they applied their traditional tactics for one week and Linux fell instantly.

GPLv2 grants an irrevocable license to use code.

This. I will use Linux until they break it, but I would hate to see it break. I've used linux for over a decade and it's gotten better and better.

These are bittersweet days.

He just needs to tell his daughter no. It's amazing how one can betray principles for family, even if the family is misguided. I guess he's just getting old and wants some peace. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes an indefinite leave of absence, early retirement etc.

Doubt it will ever happen. Protip: Most of the Open Sores community is faggots. There isn't a large enough contingent of programmers that are normal people with enough motivation to maintain a kernel and keep it bleeding edge.
I doubt this will even cause BSD development to accelerate.

Accept the dystopia of Liberalism. There is no escape from this.

Why doesn't Jow Forums just make their own OS?

freeBSD was already a trainwreck
opal came out just fine
Mozilla is a bit of a tragedy that I do not know what to say about

you should feel ashamed for even naming GNOME in the same post as the other 3

being a Microsoft conspiracy theorist/FUD spreader is a requirement of being a Linux fan.

I love linux and dont ever think I’ll switch to anything else, but this Linux civil war is fucking hillarious.

What the fuck I love writing exclusively proprietary code now where sane corporations just own all the code you write. I don't see google trying to fire Ted

Linux is a kernel

One can only pray a new OS comes out of the ashes. But right now I honestly can't see it. There seems to be fewer and fewer places to escape from EssJayDoubleU

If linus himself makes an official fork it might happen

so is ur brain

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

watch the world burn from his cabin sort of thing.

GNOME went bankrupt because of SJW outreach programs

>Mozilla is a bit of a tragedy that I do not know what to say about
Yeah, shut up faggot

Linus wouldn't have written that absurd apology message if he was intending on making a fork of the kernel.
What kind of man apologizes for being right? A broken man. Broken men don't lead successful projects.

I don't think Stallman will be doing any interjecting at the moment.

cuz you guys keep retreating from the fire rather than going towards it.
The linux devs need to just abandon development COMPLETELY.
fork it and work on a new project with the only COC being SJWs should fuck off.

the so-called "SJW-programs" is the least of GNOMEs problems

It is bullshit because the guy has no understanding of how copyright licensing works. If you voluntarily license your code under GPL you're granting everyone else a license to use your code. You can of course decide you want to re-license your code to a more restrictive license but if there's a copy of the original code still licensed under GPL people can still use that version all the same. As long as everyone abides by the license's terms they can't be forced to stop using it. That's what copyleft is.

This too.

GNOME started caring about things besides software quality, and their software went to shit. This isn't hard to figure out.

SJWs infiltrate and your project goes to shit. Linux will be no different.

>please use our programs sir
>do not disable that please
>we told you not to disable it and you deleted it so now your os is brokeded.
>realise something went wrong need reboot sending telemetry now

Yes. Fuck them.

Because an OS is an extremely complicated piece of software which will take years of effort and dedication to bring into a state where it can be considered "usable for something".

Remember when Jow Forums built a Webbrowser? Or any of the other Jow Forums projects?

Not to mention that like ~10 people here have the skills to get a C program to compile...

Better kill, than have laggy OS.

Such a beautiful statement.

I agree, I will keep using Linux until I have reason not to. It runs amazing on my thinkpad (x220 running Manjaro AwesomeWM).

I can't see a need to move unless SJWs start implementing code that flashes up "Kill all white men" every 30 seconds.

I hope he leaves and never comes back, at least to Linux, he and his former project are rotten.

They are both tools of TPTB, you mungus.

Fuck you cis scum, the seriously mentally ill make the rules now!

its getting to a point now where everything will become Jow Forums anime, music, g , diy

>Linus wouldn't have written that absurd apology message
Weird how it was the first message Linus has ever written using Windows? Those quotation and punctuation marks.

FOSS is dead. The future is independent millionaires with massive portfolios of closed source software.

>Linus can still just revoke the code of conduct if it becomes inconvenient.
Threatening alone should be proof enough that these mentally ill freaks have no business around adult things.

I came here from Jow Forums, and I have been considering using linux for an os for the past few months....That does not mean that I am not aware of how penetrated the market is and has been. A "Kill" on linux would cost every economy that uses technology....billions of dollars might as well vanish, as well as the time needed to replace.

Since I am from where I am, I am torn. Do I want the sjw alcoholic tranny to kill linus? Yes and no. I don't technology. I hate phones and computers passionately. I still write checks to pay bills.

Kill linux, and you will create a wave of hatred from all places. Closed souce is a thing, and it will come back.

>t: mentally ill transvestite.

>He's weak and not capable of fixing this.
I see this now. He rolled over the first time. Is he compromised for other reasons...is there a photo of him fucking one of these freaks?

Its a shame. Linux had a good run. I think the best of it is behind us. >I imagine it must be soul crushing to have things turn out the way they have

Well then do like other sad people and kill yourself. Don't participate in destroying the one thing that you are actually famous for.

>She's just doing the same thing as her swedecuck ancestors.

No doubt hes a pinko also. I find free and open software great, but when they do shit like hold the kernel hostage and toss around the idea that they can and will destroy everything...it makes people in tech jumpy. Imagine being a software guy at major tech right now....You know your server rooms/farms are running on linux, and some fat mentally ill sea cow looking bitch just made switching to windows seem like a good idea.

>feminists ruined your OS and your mods delete your threads
Jow Forums is ALWAYS right.

we arent asking people to make their own OS from scratch, Just fork the existing one and work on that .
Dont be an unnecessary brainlet

kys faglord

CORRECT

open source worked when the dev community was people who actually cared about software. We don't live in that world anymore, closed source is the future.

I do wonder if these giant OS projects require a benevolent dictator in order to get anything done. Think Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds, Bill Gates... It could be that we need either an autist or a psychpath to step up and create a new operating system through sheer force of will and IQ.

This is basically just a Bay of Pigs but with SJWs right?

Not enough good men (and women) stood up and took a stand against this garbage whilst that was still a possibility. People too afraid of offending others on occasion, versus 24/7 professionally offended cunts. There was only ever going to be one winner here. Only one rule that should have been followed here, namely, never play their game, never.

The moment I saw this shit I knew they'd pull something like this. Fucking commies ruin everything they get their hands on. I want to see every last one of these pink haired fucks dead. I'm with Jow Forums now. Just exterminate them all.

I've contributed three minor bug fixes. Two were accepted.

Yes, but with actual pig people.

You know there are a billion OSs out there, right? They're just not as fully featured and lack virtually the functionality you would want because they don't have a hundred billion manhours behind them.

>It could be that we need either an autist or a psychpath to step up and create a new operating system through sheer force of will and IQ.
Not gonna happen, it's too late.
A single person will never create a usable OS from scratch, Terry is about as close as someone can get with dedicating his life, but even he was far from everyday use.

nobody has infiltrated anything
the only thing that has happened is a README.md is in place that lists a few things not to do
you post on Jow Forums, you should know how hard it is for some autists to use common sense when it comes to human interaction

there is no "SJW board" to rule over all contributors
there are no new "benevolent" dictators to be selected from a pool of "SJWs"
people are just blowing this out of proportion

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, SJW/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, SJW plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning SJW system made useful by the Contributor Covenant comprising a full OS as defined by Cory Dale Ehmke.

But that's changing the licence of code. The people in OP's article are claiming they can "revoke" code already licensed under GPL v2.

If they actually think they can do that, then they completely missed the point of free software, and honestly aren't any better than the SJWs they're trying to fight. The

i think people who called Jow Forums retards were never under the assumption things would get this bad or they lacked the imagination of how bad things will get.

Jow Forumstards for all their memeing know their history, they know what these people are capable of. But you have a large segment of society who simply has grown up to believe these SJW folks have been operating under good faith when they are simply using the trustworthy nature of society against itself to accomplish their goals.

My plan of attack is to get the linux developers systematically booted off the linux development system

There is no reason to stop using Linux even if things get really bad at the LF. Corporations already use forks based on older versions of the kernel and backport upstreamed security fixes and new features. It's not a big deal. Any corporation that heavily relies on even headrev can make appropriate mods. Migrate some key members of the LF to a new board if you want bleeding edge maintenance.

Basically, none of the measures described in this thread are effective enough to stop or kill anything and result in the scenarios you're talking about. Its one of the big benefits of open source.

It's just a bunch of meaningless noise. It wont affect Linux much if at all and Linus will probably come back after a vacation but he probably wont be as active on the mailing list.
