Uncucked source code hosting

Tripfags get the rope.
That's the intrinsic incentive of programming, and in a world where everyone had unlimited time to do whatever they want, it would be more than good enough. But time is precious, so it's practically necessary to have extrinsic incentives -- incentives that go beyond the simple satisfaction found in the act of creating. Remove those incentives without replacing them with something else, and naturally the rate of production of free software will go down. I suppose an argument could be made in favor of that.
Certainly though, below a certain threshold of leisure time, I wouldn't post on 8ch at all. Everyone has priorities.

The hardware and sowtware companies that could help Linux.
Being irrelevant among the general public gives you no power in negotiations.
Pretending that all evils are the same evil is incredibly stupid, kys.


Hostility was already tried, and it already failed.
See how hard Alex Jones was shut down, and he has the userbase and the resources to fight back at least a bit.
Knowing who is a good contributor means I can prioritize their PRs, getting shit done faster.
Knowing who is a terrible contributor means I can block/ignore their PRs so I don't have to read through idiotic "rewrite it in Go" or "replace words I don't like" drivel and can instead get shit done.


Tripcodes means you're no longer anonymous but pseudonymous, and I already mentioned that.

Meaning that we are all out of options.
IT'S FUCKING OVER

You would need something like a capcode anyway for administration. If people don't feel like contributing, that's their problem.

But running an facebook page isn't the goal here.
The Daily Stormer is up and running just fine, and hidden services are even harder to take down.

Idiotic drivel can be ignored after skimming it. In addition, those kinds of people would likely be driven out if the environment caused them to receive large amounts of vitriol each time they posted. A self-moderating system, if you will. That's even more efficient than filtering them out, because they won't come in the first place.

Yeah, they really (((helped))).
Large corporations = the general public? Fine. If that's the case, did their contributions and extra "relevance" add leverage to the Linux project or to themselves? Whose interests took precedence?
You have missed my point, which was not about the ethics of non-free software at all. The Linux project's capitulation to hardware vendors was a takeover. The same large corporate interests that have driven the direction of Linux kernel development for years are also recently responsible for imposing SJW ideology in other areas. It would be unreasonable to deny that they had a hand in it here too.

Hi, defeatist Jew. We'll get to you in time.

Hard to do for an individual, so it's time to start a gang, I guess.

Affordable hardware printing when?

It's actually really not. You could run a webserver fifteen years ago on your desktop PC easily. Many people did. Many people still do. A Minecraft server gobbles up far more RAM/CPU than a git project.

But the whole point of incentive is to cause people to feel like contributing.
That said, I don't necessarily disagree with you. I think that everyone but the most committed autistic contributors would choose not to participate in a project organized in this way. That actually might be a good thing. Small communities with an accordingly low tolerance for bullshit can accomplish a lot.


It's not hard to do at all. You can get an old Power Mac cheap and run it from your closet.
If you need scale, then people will volunteer their own hardware to mirror the project, or else there's always p2p.
