I thought it might be fun to look thru the Linux Code of Conduct to see what exploitable loopholes we can use to protect ourselfs and what parts we should protest against.
>>Pledge My main problem with this one is that it makes the CoC feel that its just an attempt to get diversity for diversity's sake which can be disastrous
>>Our Standards This one contains some exploits and loopholes. Witch hunts are not allowed due to "Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission" and we can ban all ideological discussion by exploiting the "Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks" comment.
bullet 1, 3 and 5 is concerning however as due to modern feminism it doesn't clearly state what is considered "harassment" anymore. The other problem is: what do you consider appropriate behaviour in a professional setting?
>>Our Responsibilities Contradictory and especially dangerous.
Should be change to "Maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions according to what will give the better end product"
>> Scope Doesn't really add anything...can be ignored or removed. Its unclear to what this is revering to
>> Enforcement Basically allows the thing that makes people hate this CoC to happen. It allows contributors to receive a permanent of temporary ban for ignoring the CoC by complaints filed by user users. Exploitable by Jow Forums to get the sjw's out of Linux tho
>>Attribution Basically just tells you it was bassed off Contributor Covenant, version 1.4
I don't want to kick the SJWs out though. I want to kick all the talented devs and creators with great contributions so the talented group can form a bubble to start a new clean and superior kernel from scratch which is devoid of all the backdoors and spyware that were sneaked into the current corpse over the decades, while the SJWs are left with a festering corpse in a poisoned well.
Owen Martinez
Actually that's not a bad idea since if they post that says otherwise then the person who posted that information can be banned following this CoC
Nathan James
This, might as well ride the tiger. It'll be a set back sure, but it does have it's perks.
Angel Bailey
Basically we have a chance of seeing the gnu/hurd kernel leave development hell...
>>Essentially its the gnu foundation's original kernel. Which got overshadowed by Linux

Charles Turner
Man I'm so tired with the actual trend of man calling themselves girl. Back in MY days *crack*... those people who larped as girls labeled themselves as "queer". Now they say they're "sissies" *sip*, and they advert themselves as "female" while they have nothing even remotely feminine: Hairy face, penis, spend their days sniffing poppers and watching porn.
They think *sip* they're girl because they want to take BBC in their "boipucci", have they ever met a girl. Girl isn't defined as a person who take a BBC in the backdoor *buuurp*, sorry, anyway that whole shit is just stupid and it's an american thing.
Our people are changing in an odd way.
Brody Torres
if things go to rotten how about droping linux and starting on pic related even if that os is more of a meme
TL;DR Linux CoC: Kernel maintainers should act "professionally."
Really it sucks that Linus has taken a leave of absence, but Jow Forums is really getting Jow Forumsiticised over this whole situation, and overreacting a bit.
Kayden Perez
they are not overeacting that COC gives power over the comunity of people that developed the code, to people that did not care about it untill it became mainstream
Adam Thompson
Huh... How so? If it's up to the kernel maintainers to uphold the CoC, the kernel maintainers still have power over the code.
Cooper Perry
because any broad that starts bitching about muh diversity and muh discrimination against a developer will envorce a shoot now and ask question later policy aka guilty untill proven inocent having the same result as the rape courts in colleges
Jordan Barnes
> Cause if they say no to the bad patches then people will call them racist on twitter!!!!
As if kernel maintainers are dumb enough to give attention to retards
If you just ignore the retards being tarded then they dont get attention and it invalidates anything they have to say
I dont think most people understand but the only reason they have any relevancy is because people actually respond to them instead of just saying "this person is a fucking pest" and ignoring them
Anthony Richardson
This is pretty on point
Jace Price
>As if kernel maintainers are dumb enough to give attention to retards they did adopt the Coc after they pressured them tho
Gavin Clark
>because any broad that starts bitching about muh diversity and muh discrimination against a developer will envorce a shoot now and ask question later policy aka guilty untill proven inocent having the same result as the rape courts in colleges
You do realize that if you ignore them then they move on and do something else, right?
What do you think would happen if Linus came on twitter and started responding to people calling him racist or whatever? It would just fortify the false claims and make him look guilty
If you look at literally everyone successful and how theyve handled bad press, you'll notice that none of them handle it by responding it and quite the opposite, ignore it.
Samuel Young
>they did adopt the Coc after they pressured them tho
The fact that Linus accepted the CoC could implicate a lot of things. Maybe he realized he fucked up, and just decided to take a leave to let any other disputes to simmer down. Maybe he was blackmailed as a gun under-the-table sort of thing. That one valerie person or whoever did mentioned a lot of interesting things.
But yeah I agree, it was fucking stupid of him to do that, he shouldve just ignored it.
Wyatt Nelson
>it's completely fine for anyone to tell you how to behave, think, speak
the "talented" ones won't get commercial backing though. therefore they lose.
Levi Allen
>Kernel maintainers should act "professionally." if that's all it is, why would this need its own code of conduct? >be professional >okay done why do we suddenly need diversity and inclusion consultants to decide whether someone has acted so unprofessionally that they should be banned from working on linux projects? because otherwise marginalised people are at risk from discrimination, harassment, rape, etc? that's the justification i keep hearing and it's bullshit, we already have actual laws against that shit, enforced by qualified police and lawyers and judges this is just another gang of sjw assholes who are self-important enough to think they should become the new legal process
Cameron Robinson
the people that pushed the CoC are not even using linux and they never will, they are majority isheeps NPC's
Mason Hall
Temple OS? Well its one way out
We're not overreacting since we're smart anons who learn from history. It always starts this way, some big scandal reveals the deep rooted cancer within a community, and either ends in all out destruction or a bloody fight that leaves the community battered,but not dead

The talented ones created Linux out of nothing and didn't have any backing in the first place, the backing only came after results were produced.
Only SJWs depend on pre-existing capital since they aren't in the line of creating wealth but stealing the wealth of others, ergo their habit of subverting existing business instead of creating their own and therefore adding upon the industry.
Sebastian Williams
fuck Jow Forums, give a break.
Benjamin Smith
I've not visited Jow Forums jet.
Jack Mitchell
>Only SJWs depend on pre-existing capital since they aren't in the line of creating wealth but stealing the wealth of others, ergo their habit of subverting existing business instead of creating their own and therefore adding upon the industry. Typed like that it sounds like cheap propaganda, yet it's so accurate that it hurts.
Sebastian King
I'm not intending it as propaganda. I wouldn't have a single problem against SJWs existing if they actually went and created their own shit, hell i might even support them. That's how diversity is built, by adding wealth, not by redistributing and subverting existing wealth, trying to milk existing brands.
Those RationalWiki dumbasses said "durr free software started out as social justice". Yes, Free Software started out as social justice which DIDN'T GO AROUND SUBVERTING AND THREATENING THE EXISTING ESTABLISHMENT BUT CARVED OUT THEIR OWN SEGMENT OUT OF NOTHING. It's painful when i see such idiots spout the shit they do without thinking with their few brain cells, you don't need more than 3 working cells, but i guess they are too "rational" to use them.

Yea mate, totally reasonable.
Charles Thomas
I hope Linus's need for good code overrides his brainwashing. I hope...
Well...guess its time for GNU/Hurd to become relevant
Isaac Hughes
>his brainwashing Seeing how he is acting, he looks like he is being blackmailed.
3rd wave feminism is closer to fascism then Marxism since there reclassification of society can be seen as an attempt to implement a class system...which is exactly the thing Marxism seeks to destroy
Jason Evans
Look guys, they let them write up a COC so they would finally shut the fuck up and maybe even pour their useless efforts into this instead of something actually important. It's a diversion. If they get overzealous and try to actually change something that matters people will come out of the woodwork and show their disagreement. Let them have this small little victory and watch them try to get someone actually important fired and fail miserably like children.
He's tired of annoying tranny whales whining and is finally just washing his hands of them.
Bentley Morgan
we need world war so fucking bad, so all these SJW mentally ill people will be irrelevant again even long after the war.
If someone is idiot, he needs to know, we cant just pretend how good he is.

>>Pledge applies only to "contributors" and "maintainers" There is probably a semantic way to avoid being either of these, then the CoC no longer applies. >gender identity and expression this phrase could be shortened to "gender vector" and it wouldn't be so obnoxious
Christopher Scott
lol i bet you don't do anything unless you get paid for it pathetic
>Maintainers have the ... responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. If the CoC is adopted then a twitter mob would force the programmer out or consider the entire project renegade if the maintainer doesn't do anything. Really enforcement comes from how popular the project/target is. If a contributor was run out of one project, few if any other projects will take his commits because of the baggage that could come with.
Julian Ross
All we have to do is signal that Linux is hijacked and we get new blood on our side

Jesus, one second searching thru that guys twitter and I found this. I hope you guys are prepared for this future:
I'm really thankful that these SocJus morons have no tact or self-awareness. Posts like this has made it really easy to show my lefty CS friends that there actually is a huge problem.

Jacob Campbell
>loopholes
I'm gonna stop you right there, because it's obvious you're thinking about this whole CoC thing the wrong way.
It is not meant to be a set of rules. Or fair. Or just. Or in any way structured in such a way that you can apply "loopholes" or "reasoning" against it.
It's just a means to an end, and that end is control over Linux. They will not play by their own rules, they expect *you* to play by them. It's a scam, and like all scams, it relies on the victim to believe the game is fair.
Never play a game by your opponent's rules. You are guaranteed to lose, always.

inb4 the backlash fizzles out just like gamergate
Isaac Reed
>fizzles Gamergate is still constantly mentioned as a boogieman in random articles and Comicsgate is going strong.
this. You can't win against these people using anything remotely close to a rational argument. What we need to do is prevent the oblivious normie coders from falling for the SJW bait, and make it clear to them why it's a batshit movement.
The best move might just be to take this shit nuclear, and subvert the SJW power trip by pushing their CoC down everyone's throats for them. Once projects stop falling for the trap of accepting needless CoCs, the SJWs will be thwarted. Just look at this mess for example: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/10148
brand new account makes a CoC request on a large influential project, and it actually gets taken seriously! It's poe's law in action already, we just need to add fuel to the flames and make it clear to everyone what a trainwreck it is, because apparently drupal/nodejs/rust/freebsd/etc weren't enough to make normies aware of how retarded this all is.
How can we fight against this without looking like right-wing bigots? We could have a huge problem with optics in the future.

Linux CoC: The CoC cult reserves the irrevocable and exclusive right to assault and expel you or anyone on bogus charges at any moment. No one has gone ahead and asked himself important questions as in who writes the trannies' paycheck
Jose Cooper
>SJWs are ruining linux >I know let's side with right-wing SJWs. It will surely turn out in any way different! Go back to worshiping your small-handed failure of a president. Going anywhere near Jow Forums will destroy any chance of combating this cancer and just result in making the CoC look justified.
Isaiah Price
Nice try, albeit a poor attempt packed with a bunch of wrong assumptions and the "us or them" has been exploited too much already >BUT U DID ASSUMPTION TOO Sorry, i'm working here based on facts, such as what they're attempting to do with Theodore Ts'o for going against the exact same people who effectively writes the trannies paycheck
Gavin Rogers
Loophole:
The "CoC" itself doesn't escape its scope:
"This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and **in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community**. Examples of representing a project or community include **using an official project e-mail address**...
"Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by **contacting the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) at **...
Now, "Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: ... Public or private harassment", but it so happens that "Maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project’s leadership" is harassment.
It follows that according to this "CoC", "Maintainers have the right and **responsibility to remove**, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and **other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct**, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful." that is, this "CoC" must be abolished if it is to be honored, otherwise since it furnishes in itself a transgression of its statues, one will have a ready proof of its own superfluity.
Faggots or dikes i.e., pedophiles, have deprived themselves of reason.
