As a straight white male, I'm probably the worst person to ever exist.
Fucking glad I am. Hopefully can raise a lil more hell before I go -
@Stuxnet I mean if we're supposedly responsible for all the evil in the world, we may as well live up to it and have some fun
-
@segfault0xff We can use the hashtag "#EvilPride" and even have a week of fun celebrating it!
Make shirts up saying "Evil lives matter" and "#EvilPride" shirts.
We should even have biweekly meetings to discuss this! We'll start next Monday at my place. Sound good? -
@segfault0xff we'll need to charge a membership fee for a while until we get enough donations to cover all the fees. But we can discuss this at the meeting!
It'll be bring your own beer, but snacks will be provided, as well as entertainment afterwards! -

So anyone want to show me the part of the new CoC that is 'against white men'? It's really short, so shouldn't be too hard to find it: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/...
-
@irene sure, but that's a different issue. I just want to encourage everyone to actually read the CoC and come to their own conclusions /discuss based on that rather than based on the interpretation of the CoC in an article
-
@kenogo How the CoC should be interpreted and enforced is a much more productive discussion to be had, but it won't be possible until people stop screaming murder.
EDIT: Without knowing the specifics of the case, I agree that banning someone should be a measure of last resort for the most extreme cases and not be used lightly -
@kenogo ok, I read up on it and I agree that it would be silly to ban him for what he wrote. I very much doubt that will happen though.
These discussions are hard, no doubt. I just don't think that means we should not be having them at all. -
@irene it would be great if the rules were perfectly clear, but I'm not sure it's possible.
There was lots of room for interpretation in the previous Code of Conflict too. That's why you need a board. Human interactions are messy. -
Condor324966y@faktotum85 I've just read the CoC and it doesn't look too bad, but it sure as hell is way too vague and can be interpreted as anything. Also why does it focus on social issues and not code quality? If your code is shit, I'll call it shit and I reserve my right to say it's shit. That's what the kernel project is all about. Code, not social issues. I've also read the old code of conduct and it's far more concise and to the point. Personally I like that one far better.

I'll start this by saying that i am neutral to Linux. I don't hate it but sure as hell don't like it either. But this still pisses me off. Fucking leftists and feminists are dictating how the Linux community should operate and doing so in the most disgusting way possible.
Those cock haters claim they are for inclusiveness but then create a code of conduct that is against white males.
We never cared about race or gender before. But because of actions like this we are starting to treat people differently based on gender and race. It is like we are going backwards instead of progressing and this is because of their "progressive" ideas.
Fuck you, you are making programming not fun anymore.
For me, I'll keep calling a spade a spade and don't give a fuck about anybody's feelings. We all should be doing this to combat this dumb shit being shoved down our throats.
