Linux may become completely unusable.

Putting this here because of the possibility of being a site issue

From what I understand the creator of Linux which is Linus has a daughter who has gone complete SJW. She is starting to do things that could possibly destroy the kernel in ways that could damage the internet ways never seen because of the amount of servers that use linux. Since parts of the code in linux are owned by the person that wrote it, the SJW are having a fit with some of the coders and want to boot them from the source community which will remove the code they wrote in the kernel as per the contract.


This is just to my understanding at the moment.

Wondering if anyone else can confirm this for what is going on or if I misunderstood something.


grammar edit

 

This has literally nothing to do with the code. It has to do with a code of conduct in the Linux community, which has been about as toxic and shitty as 4chan. How is that going to destroy Linux? If people are throwing a shit fit it is because they want to continue being assholes to people and shitting on peoples code or people who need help with things.

I understand what is going on now as the sources I was reading had been everywhere and did more reading.


The new CoC is written by a hard line SJW that constantly spews hate for meritocracy and anything male. Which often links both together while spewing more hate for both.

Which has lead to many seeing this new CoC abused to crazy intent because of.

Most of the anger comes from the vary possibility of the main contributors being kicked out because of a handful of people that contribute nothing having some feelings hurt.

 

... does she know what a meritocracy is?

 

So, yea. You are both wrong and a cursory search would show this. The CoC was not written by Coraline Ada Ehmke. She wrote the Contributor Covenant which is used by Eclipse, Angular, Ruby, and Kubernetes. As well as many others. (Here is the list https://www.contributor-covenant.org/adopters)

So while they are using something written by her, she did not somehow grasp power and force a CoC herself. You are buying into the conspiracy theorists. Could it be used the wrong way? Sure but I think that community needed something. They by in large took their lead from Torvalds himself who is a notorious asshole. It depends on how this is implemented. But I do not see people lining up to abandon Ruby or Kubernetes. Quite the opposite.

The issue that everyone wants to reference was I agree a misuse of the CoC and she was not directly involved with the project.

 

I never said she grasped power by herself.

The new CoC is based heavily on the contributer convenant. Which it basically is because of how much it uses which is the whole thing.

I’m just saying that it will be abused by a small minority that contributes nothing to destroy what everyone else has built up just because they disagree on things that have nothing to do with Linux itself.


Torvalds was always a asshole, nothing new. That’s just how some people are though.

 

I swear to god, if this fucks up my porn sites, I'll unleash a he'll upon them the likes of which has never been seen before! I will obliterate them!

 

So now that they have pandered to them they now belong to them and if you step out of line we all know what happens. Just look at Wil Wheaton and rian johnson. You either get back in line and apologize, or you fight and they attack until you no longer have a voice.

The reason I think most of these SJW always hate meritocracy is because they can not comprehend the amount of time, work, and studying that goes on to actually learn what are very hard trades to master.
