Incredibly enough, Leah Rowe of all people has come to the defense of RMS. https://libreboot.org/news/rms.html Shocking news. I had written off the entire Libreboot project after the nonsense, but I might reconsider now. This was a very level-headed take, and aside from some minor bitching about RMS' distaste for plural pronouns being used for singular people I agree with it entirely. It's good to see some people have his back still, even those he's had disagreements with. There's also a huge chunk at the end shitting on projects with a code of conduct. Truly magnificent.

>>3289 It's no surprise that there's much more signatures in support compared to the ones that want to cancel him again. https://rms-support-letter.github.io/

>>3289 Thanks for the link there anon, bit of heartening news

>>3289 Site is down atm. What relevance does the GCC Steering Committee that removed Stallmann have? How much power do they have over gcc's developement?

>>3289 " RMS is NOT transphobic I’ve been good friends with Richard for many years. I did have a falling out with him (publicly so) a few years ago, but we made up. He has always respected me. When my project, Libreboot, was in the process of joining GNU, I wasn’t out as trans. I came out as trans not long before Libreboot became GNU Libreboot. RMS switched to she/her with me on the spot. No problems. Some people have linked to the following article and suggested that he is transphobic: https://stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html Specifically, people believe that RMS refuses to use correct pronouns with people. People believe that RMS is transphobic for saying per/perse instead of accepting they/them. Let me tell you something: Richard sent me and several other people a copy of that article when he was drafting it. I repeatedly urged RMS not to do per/perse when he suggested it. I strongly suggested that he use they/them when referring to someone generically. When he decided to use per/perse, I was annoyed but not offended; you see, I regard it as idiotic. Clearly, they/them is commonly understood and will cause the least amount of misunderstanding. Being foolish is not the same thing as being transphobic. If you actually tell Richard your preferred pronouns, he’ll use them with you without hesitation. Several of my friends are trans and also speak to Richard, mostly via email. He respects their pronouns also. Funnily enough, the GNU project has these guidelines about pronouns: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.en.html - see: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.en.html#f1 Not transphobic. At all. Same per/pers bullshit. Not transphobic, just stupid. I wasn’t misgendered by other GNU developers when my project, Libreboot, was in GNU. Calling RMS a transphobe is an insult to people who suffer from real transphobia." He would have been better off being anti-trans and telling people to go fuck themselves.

>>1827 >made him out to be a pedo Being a pedo is perfectly reasonable: little girls are cute. YHWH explicitly allows child brides. RMS is a Jew.

>>1843 >GPL actively prevents corporations from co-opting open source and supplanting it Grsecurity would like a word with you. These licenses aren't worth shit if everyone KNOWS you will NEVER sue over them.

>>3428 There is no reason to sue random people over it as it wouldn't be worth the time, but if a big corporation infringes on the license you stand to win millions of dollars and it becomes worth it.

>>3429 >There is no reason to sue random people over it as it wouldn't be worth the time, but if a big corporation infringes on the license you stand to win millions of dollars and it becomes worth it. Grsecurity isn't a random person. They're a corporation (now) and say they're "doing well". They have govt contracts. And have done the most blatant copyright violation against linux copyright holders in history.

go back to pol you stupid fajak

>>1619 I don't think he really knows what specfically he's mad about

>>14012 You are retarded.

>>1826 He became woke.

>>15395 True, indeed. However, Linus used to be better and not a woke cucklord. He's gotten his brain fried substantially by his daughter's influence and clownery. However, As much of a fool he has become, he's no resetera retard levels of hypocrisy. Also, so what if he's an atheist, how is that wokeness in and of itself? The part women's right to "choose" aka an abortion is best left to the states, not the federal government. Has he forgotten how many people died in countries that got under (((communist))) rule!?

>>1631 relevant inforgraphics

>>15483 >stop being awake! >human rights should be determined by US states >billions of people dying from man-made causes and preventable disasters under $$$capitalist$$$ rule are just normal >random pic unrel crying about how scientific models aren't static and not realizing there are more than two chromosomal combinations. learn human biology, kid ///­ Cry moar, whiny bitch ­\\\

NixOS has purged "nazis" who disagreed with allowing an lgbt permanent leader seat from the project and forced the former project lead to abdicate.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsDYul3J3Dc Why are there so many trannies in Linux dev?

>>15579 Yeah, I saw that. What the fuck is going on with Nix? Seems like they had a decent thing going, but now the troons are fucking it up.

>>15587 It seems they saw a chance to take over when the same leader was basically partnering with some military drone company that used nix a lot, and the usual software pacifism drums started beating and had to keep beating.

>>15592 So basically the troons took over the project because the founder is too weak willed to defend himself.

>>15586 The F in FOSS makes it the home of anarchists. Digital infrastructure enables an essentially post-scarce world-wide economy, it's practically made for commies.

>>11649 No, I will not go back to le pol

>>1608 >/pol/ will keep losing because of people like you. On the contrary, by calling out the faggotry rotting the open source, OP is doing a worthy community service. >>11649 KYS

>>11649 Sorry chuddy, but pol is here to stay.

>>17695 >replying to a post that's over two years old

>>17743 >replying to yourself

>>17695 >>17743 Why are you even here? Make your own board about poz in tech

>>17761 >Why are you even on the tech board >to complain about forced astroturfing of bad tech >political implications of DEI and globalist goals irrelevant Because it's a tech question, whether or not you like the politics surrounding it

>>17778 Okay good point I just don't want it to attract the wrong type of people and end up like how 8chan was in the past

>>17847 >someone admitting they're wrong Holy shit toto we're not in kansas anymore It's all good, I think that side of the political spectrum ended up on piss poopy (sharty) so we wont see them for a while

I actually really like Rust, but it's clear to me that getting it into the kernel will be a serious trojan horse of tranny soft power

>Point out languages and products that try to force politics on their users. Contributors. A code of conduct is not a license. You are not obligated to obey it in any capacity as a user. The only time it takes any effect is when you are interacting with the developers either through submitting pull requests or communicating in issues. Think about it like this: when you step into the office to go to work, there's rules for how you can treat your coworkers, right? That's what the code of conduct is. But if you're just a customer and not someone working in that office, that shit doesn't apply to you at all.
