Your best tldr

What is the best tldr, or even good long summary you can give on the Linus situation? I haven't been following Linux news for years, and now this happens.

He "took a break" and endorsed a code of cucking made by a tranny "code witch"

nsa couldn't put backdoors into linux cuz linus 2 gud, so they're trying to subvert him and the organization with mentally insane political activists. kind of working, but linus has a lot of loyalists, so interesting to see how this goes.

just another reason to use gentoo

gentoo pulls in systemd through portage for no reason because of the dependancy creep

you literally couldn't pay me to use that shit

He was being genuinely a dick for years. I don't know why it became big now or even sexual, but he could not have been a dick.
I get the impression Linus never really liked GPL, he's more of an MIT guy, fuck the commies.

>you literally couldn't pay me
I doubt anyone would ever pay you for anything.

>what are use flags
its like you people dont use gentoo or something

An excellent rebuttal user. You concisely anaylzed and destroyed his arguement. :^)

Someone wrote parts of the email for him and forgot to convert their smart quotes into ASCII.

This is the primary weapon of the left. It is a weaponized logical fallacy called the kafkatrap.

> is a form of argument that, reduced to essence, runs like this: “Your refusal to acknowledge that you are guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…} confirms that you are guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…}.”

> the Model C, is to assert something like this: “Even if you do not feel yourself to be guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…}, you are guilty because you have benefited from the {sinful,racist,sexist,homophobic,oppressive,…} behavior of others in the system.” The aim of the Model C is to induce the subject to self-condemnation not on the basis of anything the individual subject has actually done, but on the basis of choices by others which the subject typically had no power to affect. The subject must at all costs be prevented from noticing that it is not ultimately possible to be responsible for the behavior of other free human beings.

A close variant of the model C is the model P: “Even if you do not feel yourself to be guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…}, you are guilty because you have a privileged position in the {sinful,racist,sexist,homophobic,oppressive,…} system.” For the model P to work, the subject must be prevented from noticing that the demand to self-condemn is not based on the subject’s own actions or choices or feelings, but rather on an in-group identification ascribed by the operator of the kafkatrap.

Linux changed the CoC from the Code of Conflict which said just "don't be a dick" to the Contributor Covenant which also spelled out examples of being a dick, which - I assume - angered people who want to put racial slurs in pull requests.
At the same time - whether prompted or not - Linus decided to stop telling people that they should kill themselves, and used that as an excuse to take a break. His message on the mailing list implies that he'll be away until 4.19 gets released, and will come back when it's time to work on 4.20.

>muh flags

The great beneficiaries of this situation are, on one hand, leftist intellectual and political elites; on the other, those I have called “metacapitalists”: capitalists that have grown so wealthy in the regime of economic freedom that they can no longer acquiesce to the fluctuations of the markets:
“If the Medieval system lasted ten centuries, Absolutism did not last more than three. Even shorter will be the reign of liberal bourgeoisie. One century of economic and political freedom was enough to make some capitalists so formidably rich that they no longer wish to submit to the whims of the markets that made them rich. They want to control them, and there are three instruments for this: dominion of the State, in order to enact the statist policies necessary to make the oligopoly eternal; stimulus to socialist and communist movements that invariably favor the growth of state power; and the drafting of an army of intellectuals who prepare public opinion to bid farewell to bourgeois freedoms and happily step into a world of omnipresent and obsessive repression (extending itself to the last details of private life and everyday speech), presented as a paradise adorned both with the abundance of capitalism and the “social justice” of communism. In this new world, the economic freedom indispensable for the functioning of the system is preserved in the strict measure necessary to subsidize the extinction of freedom in the political, social, moral, educational, cultural and religious domains.

blame abrt's dev for being a systemd shill. when you install something that explicitly requires systemd, dont be surprised when installing dependencies installs systemd.

Fuck off Ehmke shill.
Poin me to the racial slurs in the kernel development?
I haven't seen that yet. What I have seen is CoC people trying to pressure rosarior a non-white man into adopting their brain abortion while hilariously claiming he is white.

>Poin me to the racial slurs in the kernel development?
That's my point, and the reason I call this a nothingburger - the CoC covers stuff that doesn't, or shouldn't, happen, and doesn't put any insane restrictions. The drama is almost entirely Jow Forums finding a new thing to sperg out about.

Be honest, how many of you who are REEEEing at this are pathetic incels?

Note that within the Contributor Covenant, "being a dick" includes "judging based on experience" meaning "someone who just learned how to copy/paste a hello world program" is supposed to have just as valid code as "a PhD in Computer Science"

1. Linus got honeydicked
2. Has to hand over control over Linux to the SJW cabal (his daughter is one of them)
3. Is now in hiding

I wonder what kind of blackmail they got him with.

probably something along the lines of "you're acting like a white nigger with your shitty PR!!!"

Basically same thing as gamergate but with something that could really fuck up the tech industry.

It will essentially allow pink-haired documentation editors to police actual programmers for thoughtcrime, instead of just judging their actual contributions to the project in their own right

Same as the Women in Tech movement in general, 90% of it will be to allow the technically retarded to call themselves programmers and post on instagram about how they're "geeking out"

I think the daughters involvement in this whole thing is huge.

Maybe the sjw's manipulated her to spill the beans on something they can blackmail him with? Or maybe she did it willingly. But she's 100% sjw and her role model is people like Shanley Kane, and she has previous connection to the CoC tranny as they made her sign the post meritocracy manifesto,

moral of the story is, if you have a daughter you need to throw her off a cliff and fuck your wife again and hope for a healthy high test boy

Can someone explain to me why if something bad happens Linux can't just be forked and by continued by other developers? It just seems like a non-issue to me.

Attached: 1522102384273.jpg (667x593, 242K)

Linux thrives because it has a lot of people and organizations behind it - using it, promoting it, maintaining it and especially taking it into account when developing their own software and hardware.
You could fork Linux and then try very hard to convince a few maintainers and users to join you, but that's only where your troubles would begin.
With each upstream change that this Linux fork rejects, and with each change the fork introduces on its own, the fork will become increasingly incompatible with software and hardware that work with Linux.
The fork's developers will have to work to patch up these incompatibilities, on convince software and hardware developers to take the fork into account when working on their products.
With the fork having only a small userbase and development team, they will have a very hard time either doing the work themselves or convincing others to accommodate them. This will result in the fork being even less attractive to users and maintainers over time. In other words, it's a vicious circle.

It's just some breitbart drama, I wouldn't worry about it.

Ebin troll.
Ehmke is an asshole and doesn't hide it, look at her twitter.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

I'm not pol though and I "sperg" about it because it's bad even if not dangerous or anything like that.

Linux sissies (below humans) are getting cuckholded at such levels that put DogFart™ productions to shame

He once said during a q&a session that he just wants the changes / improvements people applied to his kernel, too. So he's definitely not a mit guy.

The reason Linux is so great is because the developers involved actually know how to make good ass code. Now, the regressive left is starting to rear it’s unintelligent head in a matter that shouldn’t matter. They would rather have some ugly ass tranny or disabled Somalian pirate that got a certification in My Computer Career yesterday take over than someone who has has years of experience and a degree in cs/ce... all for the sake of diversity.

It’s like a stage IV cancer, it’s too late. Say goodbye to our precious Linux ecosystem. Trannies are going to throw a monkey wrench into the whole system and kill it off.

Stopped reading there

gas the trannies. seriously though, it's pretty much over, this whole situation is most likely going to drive a lot of smart people from writing software like linux

He literally handed over control of his kernel to a fucking tranny lmao. Loonix faggots have been on suicide watch ever since.

three letter agency sent their Trojan horse (tranny fag) to create back door. Useful idiots fight over womenz rights to push the interior decorated code

This is how Microsoft extinguishes Linux. Get on the board of the Linux Foundation, then bring in the trannies.

She has a vagina no manipulation was necessary. If anything years of her dad breaking into her room to call her code complete shit and beating her whenever he found a windows CD or ipod built up the motivation to destroy the thing he loved more than her.

But how can they put in a backdoor if it's open source?

I left /tv/ to get away from the diversity crap and it's here too? Is no board fucking safe.

No, what you need to do is teach her Christian values.

tfw I did this

Linux got pressured to adopt a CoC made by a political SJW tranny and "went on leave" apologizing for management by perkele.
Leftarded pretend-moderates said it was no big deal, that only an alt-right racist would disagree.

Took all of two days for Theo to be accused of rape apologism by one of the SJW scum who led the charge against Torvalds.

i would use genkernel out of laziness, but for some reason, it doesnt get added to path and im way too lazy to add to my path. instead id rather spend 10-30 minutes googling different kernel options and looking up drivers and shit

Now say after me:

I guess that if Thorvalds called it quits in a straight way, he would recieve the ire of legions of freecel nuurds that shower only once every prime number-day.

Just bailing out and let the nuurds fantasize about the horrible, horrible tranny killer kommandos is much easier. They've already shot themselves in the foot with their CoC and phallic lighthouse! XD

See above: Even a diversity-maximing HR department is a gatekeeper.

Before CoCgate, anyone could literally just waltz in on ShitHub and make pull random pull requests. And every pull request would be judged. On the other hand, if anyone just waltzes in to a company or bedroom programmer and make random comments on the code, they will be kicked out.

What damage has this actually done? Typical CIS white males crying before they're hurt when something doesn't go their way for a change.

The worst thing is, their diversity idea isn't only limited to LGBTQFMRSOLMFS++, but it start to being inclusive to skill/knowledge/experience levels. I can work with Pajeet just fine as log as he's skilled, but I don't want imbeciles I my team.
