>Valerie Aurora, a former Linux-kernel contributor, told me that a decade of working in the Linux community convinced her that she could not rise in its hierarchy as a woman. Aurora said that the concept of Torvalds and other powerful tech figures being “equal-opportunity assholes” was false and sexist: when she and Sharp adopted Torvalds’ aggressive communication style, they experienced retaliation. “Basically, Linus has created a model of leadership—which is being an asshole,” Aurora told me. “Sage and I can tell you that being an asshole was not available to us. If we were an asshole, we got smacked for it, got punished, got held back. I tried it.” >Around 2000, when her first fix to Linux was accepted, she threw a party. A couple of years later, she published an online manual, “HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux,” which included chapters named “Don’t criticize too much,” “Do compliment,” and “Don’t stare and point when women arrive.” Aurora told me that she was groped at a Linux conference and that a senior administrator belittled her and told she lacked the talent to be a key developer. It never occurred to her to report the groping, she said. In 2007, Aurora began to withdraw from Linux programming. She is now a consultant to tech companies working on issues of inclusion and diversity.

So after all she lacked talent because she couldn't land even coding job?

Yep. Small minds don't need to be involved in the biggest software project ever to exist

>Linux is slowly going to be corrupted along with every other open source project on github
I've never used GitHub cuz it's fucking shit. But what project should I make there that involves master & slaves processes. I'm just going to start it as a hobby to make people angry

>"Women" taking over Linux Well then, have fun fixing RAID5 on btrfs.
and there are no OS systems that will run reliable and spay on you any more.
Fuck this world.

BDSM game. Not only will all your code contain master/slave references, but the entire project is based around the premise. VR or for the Wii. Require motion controllers. The harder a paddling is applied the higher your score.
Brody Davis
I support the right for women to be assholes

And this is how Microsoft destroyed Open source by infiltrating feminists into the movement and all around GitHub. Now the executive board of Microsoft rubbing their hands while watching the mayhem unfold
Jace Cooper
Lol holy shit. But I can't into game dev. Not autistic enough
Aiden Bell
People whose sole interest or concern is identity politics should not be allowed in tech.
Josiah Williams
What does Microsoft have to do with thots joining open sores projects?
>Microsoft buys GitHub >deletes open source projects that don't adopt CoC Embrace, extend, extinguish
Logan Cook
This Now they control the open source projects
>b-but they can go somehwere else! Then they stop being relevant, which is what ms wants

The Paddling. 3D models used for sfm porn. The girls of Overwatch have a camping holiday and take some canoes down river. In the distance, banjo music can be heard. The set camp by the river one night and are ambushed in their sleep. They're knocked out and come to in some old mountain shack somewhere, where they proceeded to be whipped, paddled, clamps, vibrators used, dildos, before getting fucked. If you can bring them to the point of orgasm and then back off right before they come, it accumulates into more points. The more you do this in a given amount of time, the higher the score wins at which point you take them over the edge.
And of course all games need zombies. So the bodies are disposed of by opening a trap door in the floor and tossing them to the undead that live down there and the creator credits roll to their blood curdling screams as they're torn apart.
Or something like that. Multiplayer too of course. Because what's better than sadomasochism except sadomasochism with your friends and relatives?

Why are you spergs like this? She was in there before the big women in STEM push and was a competent programmer because she found a fix in Linux. There are hundreds of no name Linux workers just like her and you hate this specific one because she's a woman. It's not like she specifically set out to kill Linux afterwards
Joshua Morris
seems she lacked the talent to be a developer.
Blake Davis
She doesn't want to be a no name Linux worker, she wanted to be at the top and couldn't handle being told that her further code was bad.
Nicholas Sanchez
does anyone have that /tg/ picture of Women ruining table top gaming?
Thomas Ward
So something happens...and quickly after multiple sources are dogpiling the misinformation in a semi coordinated fashion.
Gamergate 2 electric bunghole

>could not rise in it's hierarchy as a woman
What fucking hierarchy, it's fucking volunteer projects where people from all over the world submit code.
It's not a fucking corporation like Microsoft. You can create an anonymizing username and submit stuff it doesn't matter what your gender is.
Asher Lopez
can steam OS be savior nobody expected it to be?

>She is now a consultant to tech companies working on issues of inclusion and diversity.
>person can't achieve something out of its own success >eventually the political climate changes to the point it can be exploited >said person then leverages its own congenite qualities to step in the spotlight >when people point out the person is in the wrong, the person plays the congenite quality card to dismiss criticism and strengthen its position in the public eye Works every time, with everything, as long as the wind is blowing in your favor: >nigger playing the racism card >woman playing the sexism card >extraterrestrial playing the xenophobia card And you're falling for it.
Adam White
He cucked out fully...mentally he was always kind of a cuck but at least he had the wisdom to keep things apolitical but when the pressure started to build up he surrendered because -again- he was always kind of a cuck.
Nicholas Allen
Why can't women just shut up for a while I'm fucking tired of these cunts Just crash society already put them back in the kitchen
Jose Cooper
>She was in there before the big women in STEM push and was a competent programmer because she found a fix in Linux. She found A fix and then went on to write books about the oppression of women in tech. Fuck off.
Jace Nguyen
In the West nothing will be able to escape the (((octopus))) our only hope is Eastern Europe and Russia now.
Grayson Sullivan
The problem is the community accepted her fix.
If the community never accepted her fix this entire feminism shit would not happen. See you give them an inch they take a mile
