One of the arguments is that it will be used as a weapon for "People who think wrong."

The example given was somebody saying "Hey, this contributor is a horrible human and attacks transgenders on twitter." as a bad thing.

esr and rms (lol) claim that people have the right under the gplv2 to make Linus remove every line of code they added if they get banned for violating the code of conduct because the license was written so that contributors still own the copyright to their code

their new plan is to get as many people as possible to do this so Linus gives up on his sjw cabal

Sure they can. And Linus & Co can happily take the snapshot just before that and continue to work, that's also a right under the GPLv2. It's not retrospective.

not that I like defending rms, but he's saying the opposite
https://www.itwire.com/open-source/84683-linux-code-contributions-cannot-be-rescinded-stallman.html

quote:

Richard Stallman, the head of the Free Software Foundation and founder of the GNU Project, told iTWire in response to queries that contributors to a GPLv2-covered program could not ask for their code to be removed.

"That's because they are bound by the GPLv2 themselves. I checked this with a lawyer," said Stallman, who started the free software movement in 1984.

thanks for the correction, that’s important to get right

when i read the usurper thing I got the mistaken impression they were complaining about greg kh backing out a code of conduct thing from a repository or something like that and i was thinking, lol what if this is yet another confirmation of the venn diagram unity between bitcoiners and chud politics

Tankakern posted:

lmao if you think my opinions on Linux are motivated by anything other than love/hate: love for what it could be, hate for what it is both technically and socially thanks to the high concentration of people like linus running important projects.

it is great that this whole linux kernel CoC thing happened, but i remain cautious about declaring the jubilee, both because of the pushback getting quoted itt and because torvalds still clearly doesn’t fully Get It. hope the shitstorm doesn’t prolong his already lengthy process of unlearning shitheaded beliefs.

also it is absolutely true that there has been crossover between linux kernel devs and bitcoin devs, I just misremembered which ones. so idk why you think that’s fud. not that he’s likely to read this but apologies to Greg kh for my misunderstanding and misidentification!

most of the "pushback" we are seeing has been driveby commentary from deadshit culture warriors like esr and other random idiots. if there's any real pushback from the kernel community then we'll see it at the maintainers summit in a few weeks (which linus is attending). they still need to work out how the CoC is going to be enforced and what the scope of it should be, but i'd be really surprised if there's any major concessions to the chuds.

it's worth remembering that something like 90% of kernel contributors are paid to do it. being required to maintain a base level of professionalism when interacting with the community really isn't much of an imposition.

it looks like the things being discussed by the actual maintainers are more on the level of "so how should the enforcement part work exactly" with pretty wide agreement with the goal itself

an illustrative example is the first chud comment to this lwn article: 'Is "our community" solely the kernel developer community? Or do the users' concerns have some weight on this matter?'

OpenBSD is actually somewhat more user friendly today, and even has modern desktops like gnome and mate. It does lack some software i'm sure most folks would want, and it doesn't support vms. If you need a nice firewall or whatever it's a fine choice.

openbsd's firewall is single-threaded and they have no security story at all

i'm sure it's "nice" if you don't care about security and you are ok with a firewall that will only handle 100 mbps

HISTORY

The mac implementation first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0 and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.

freebsd 5.0 was officially released in 2003

openbsd is literally 15 years behind freebsd on a very basic security feature that proprietary UNIX has had since the early 1990s

if you felt like you needed it you could either run FreeBSD or just port it. OpenBSD decided to stay with discretionary access control for simplicity. it's a fine, well designed os. it's not appropriate for everything but yes it makes a nice firewall. you can run gigabit with it without issue.

well yes, if you need security, you could and should run an operating system with security features from the early 1990s, such as freebsd, as opposed to some 1970s bullshit like openbsd

i think that's a very good idea

not even the government accepts discretionary access control "for simplicity." it's literally not good enough for government work
