But I have the luxury of not dealing with systemctl too much so maybe I'll do it in the future after people realize how much it sucks and start splitting it into independent modules with low coupling and clear separation of functions so that

sometimes -v is version (gcc), sometimes it's something else entirely (grep). sometimes -- is used to separate two logically consistent groups of arguments (git checkout) sometimes commands use - flags to specify sub behaviors (tar) and sometimes they use words (git, aptitude). there's not really a consistent way to do things except that --help should give you help and usually so should -h (except sometimes it doesn't, like du or df). its almost like there's a collection of utilities that has been growing since the 80s and there's no consistent way to do things, just memorize how to use a given command since you've already had to do it fort everything else you use

The irony is, the same lack of organization and corporate fuckery (well, okay, Redhat basically is corporate fuckery that contributes to most of the Linux Kernel, but it's nowhere near the corporate fuckery of Microsoft and Apple) that allowed Microsoft to go about spreading blatantly untrue disinformation campaigns and attempt to sue whatever Linux Foundation or RHEL entity that they sued, also allows them to now build their own distro without being entirely shut down.

Not being a blaring hypocrite like microsoft, I see no problem with them doing this and don't feel like they need to be singled out legally. However, culturally? ROFL. Microsoft is a loving joke.

If only the following syntax worked to remove their existence from the world as a whole...

code:
emerge --deselect=y microsoft && emerge -ac

audacity crashing is a standard feature available on all platforms; it crashing X at the same time is a Linux exclusive though

on the other hand, the only instance i can turn up of Sarah Sharp objecting to LKML posting is this message:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137390362508794&w=2

which uh... isn't in any way threatening or vulgar at all?

Poettering gave far more convincing examples of objectionable behaviour, specifically that Linus said certain people should be "retroactively aborted" and wondered how certain people survived when they were "probably too stupid at birth to find a tit to suck on", which is definitely rather off-putting. i'm not going to fanboy linus torvalds but i mean let's at least pick on the worst poo poo if there's a case to be made here.

Sarah has been there and dealt with it, and talked to several offenders privately, because it's not something that needs to be public. When she wrote that first email about it publicly, it exploded. We cheered her on, but the general gist was "oh, shut up and just deal with the torrent of abuse you're getting". Thus why she didn't say anything publicly again.

I also want to remind people that this isn't just a "woman in computers" thing. I counted, and I know 20 colleagues, former and present, who have sworn off kernel development entirely because of the toxic attitude. All but one of them male, all of them from diverse cultural backgrounds.
