GNU Kind Communications Guidelines

GNU is not a software movement. GNU is, and always has been, a political movement that writes software as a means to an end.

Have you been living under a rock for the last couple of weeks? If so, can I move in with you?

hum.... this reminds me of a book.
gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html
The text is itself very redundant and could be reduced to 10 lines.
This is not necessary to express, GNU is a universal project aimed towards resolving technical issues so that social issues in human groups can be avoided.
gives a more universal message than pointing out some variables.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
This happens and there's two solution for that either the person who was unwelcoming agrees to be less unwelcoming or the person who is interpreting the sentence as unwelcoming agrees to don't mind it anymore. Both are feasible.
This sounds like encouraging victimization. Taking, displacing responsibilities of someone is a disastrous method that lead to the creation of Amtssprache. This will have similar effect. There's no need to say who needs more help than others. Just listen to people. This line is not necessary.
Honor is also something that leads to violence, because honor suggest that you are responsible for the choice of someone else, in this case that you are responsible to use a different pronoun because someone chose to change it.
Both parties are responsible for their actions, they are responsible for what they say but also how they react, if something troubles you, you can of course present your needs, and if your needs cannot be fulfilled then you need to try another way or do to without them. Do not attribute the responsibilities of your feelings to other.

That I agree.
I do not agree, if it began on public mailing list there's a need for transparency to avoid useless speculation on the internet.

The gender/pronoun issue is politically unrelated to GNU or other free software project.
The guide has good intent but it could be formatted in a way that is more universal and avoids the implication of taking responsibility of some else's actions.

For the past four months I had not access to the internet. I am aware about what happened. I just misread you and read "linus" instead of "linux".
I would love to share my days and work with someone who understands what gets out of my mouth....

Ironically that very fact may be what protects it the most. GNU is jews jewing jews. They know the dialectical materialist, legalist game, because they play it themselves. Compared to well intentioned but otherwise ignorant programmers and maintainers who know NOTHING about politics and just accept any and all CoC's that are placed infront of their mouths, GNU may be the strongest opponent they've ever faced.

I'd prefer it if you refer to us as GNU/engineers and GNU/philosophers.

This sounds pretty much on point, you should email that to them or RMS directly

You don't need to go through the terms of the CoC with a fine toothed comb. It's the same "diversity for diversity's sake" and "save the womyns" bullshit that is killing merit-based (F)OSS across the board, and you can see that from the first paragraph. The most insidious nature of CoC is that it applies to the personal beliefs of the contributor, despite all claims to the contrary.

Who knew G in GNU stood for Gay? I just learned this.

You didn't know?
Lurk stallman.org for like 1 minute and you would've already known that.

Idk. I put this to see here to see if people would see some errors/fallacies in it. The part about honor is badly formulated and I need to find an old article that I didn't save/archive unfortunately.
Now that I read it again there's something bothering me. I think I need a day or two to rethink this and consult a book or two to see if my sentiments interfered in the tough process.

found the SJW

Why don't we test it?
Someone create a fake profile in some of those social networks and pretend that you are a real nazi then try to contribute something to the GNU project.
Let's see if they'll accept out most humble contribution or not.

Linux adopted the Contributor Covenant and Linus has (temporarily :^) left the LKP.

Go for it, user. Keep us posted.

I have a better idea:
And problem fucking solved. Call it the anonymous contributor guidelines or whatever.

Including backdoors? If ya don't accept it you're transphonic.

All participants use GPG with a pseudonym.

I'd actually be in favor of that. This pseudo-CoC is actually fairly reasonable.

Nigger, it's one page.

More like RMS has always had the sense to keep Free Software separate from other political battles. He always knew Free Software+ would be a disaster. I mean, that's basically what (((open source))) was.

But the politics are ONLY about software.

Congrats, you just formalized doxxing as a way to get someone fired.

He is on to something though. These liberals and SJWs are narcissistic attention whores who don't give a fuck about anything but themselves. Open source code is becoming a high-visibility advertising platform for them. They WANT their name shouted everywhere possible so they get social credit and authority by association.

Take that away, and the SJW will die of starvation or simply leave like the dissatisfied parasite it is. Forced anonymity or pseudo-anonymity is absolutely critical now more than ever. You can't stop people from saying their own name in chat and discussions, but you can strip away their identity via accounts and emails and other "formal" means.

Business as usual. I think contributing to coreutils or emacs have bigger issues than CoC or similar wall of text. The corporate speak about woman in tech is now a hot thing but it will gone anyway.

I wouldn't worry about it goys, just ignore it and it'll go away!

Exactly. If you don't accept all the poz of the cultural marxists, you'll have to stay anonymous in order to participate. Then its just a matter of a witchhunt, which is incredibly ironic given that literal satanist faggot "witches" will be doing the hunting.

love it
even better than what Ruby has

why did he lie to me?

G stands for GNU's. :^)

Based and redpilled stallman saying the same thing I was saying all the time
After all Stallmans' version of c*mmunism seems pretty much like NatSoc, lol
also
Yeah, there will never be any cock in my GNU

Because this isn't a code of conduct and there is nothing to enforce. This is basically like the video store having a sign that says "Please Be Kind, Rewind." RMS is software Jesus, and as such has decried the pharisees of the CoC brigades as the hypocrites that they are.

Only if you have an extremely loaded definition of "kind".

I'm not convinced. Luckily there is a litmus test. From the GNU CoC:

meant for

Nothing. There are no punitive measures.

Richard?

Just so we're clear, asking rms this question is not the litmus test. It would have to actually happen so that we may observe the affect of the resulting SJW mob's social pressure.

True, but I think we will not see such a thing precisely because SJWs have no power to complain that something isn't being enforced. As always, RMS has shown that he's a true visionary by diffusing this shit. SJWs already hate RMS because of his stance on lolis and other types of "problematic" content. He's autistic enough to not care what they think as long as user freedom is preserved.

I think you underestimate the mind virus that is quickly engulfing certain social spheres. It can be overwhelming.
You mean the jewish socialist who thinks girls can have penises? I wouldn't put my eggs in that basket, but that's just me.

I don't think he said that, but that he'd respect someone if they really wanted to be called something else. Also, I fail to see something wrong with being Jewish, and RMS has repeatedly dismissed any socialist leanings.

He has dismissed communism as impractical and bad for freedom. He is a democratic socialist though. That said, he isn't trying to take away your right to say democratic socialism is for faggots.

Why the fuck say "gender, etc"? How about preferred musical genres, do they allow contributions regardless of that? And favorite color, eye color or haircut? That should be added to the list as well or people might think it's ok to discriminate on that.
That said I agree with it seems rms gave up some ground (which he shouldn't have) but hasn't switched sides.

I'd say he's more of a Europoor-style social democrat. And yes, RMS gives no shits about anything but software.

Oh you're a leftist. No wonder.

Except for his prolific political commentaries where he links to pro-socialist pieces, supports DSA-endorsed candidates, and his gender-confused pronoun spookery.

I've been called a radical centrist on this board before. I rather like that label more. I'm hated by both political sides, so it makes sense.

Pretty sure he outright said preferred pronouns were bullshit. As for DSA candidates, I thought he supported the green party.

The radical centrist meme gets thrown at you because of the ridiculous facade you wear when trying to influence the right-leaning board. You've been outed, both as a leftist and not knowing shit about rms.

No, I mean it unironically. Not everyone who disagrees with you is trolling or a leftist.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_centrism

>stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html

You need to read that again. He proposed a grammatically correct alternative pronoun which has history in academia. He outright rejected made up pronouns.

...

This is how it should be. And donations should be via some kind of crypto so you don't know who the person is getting it and thus protecting their identity.

For a name, how about "Shut the fuck up and Code" guidelines.

No, it's called nuance. Stallman us accommodating, as I would be. Not to the same extent, but certainly an effort.

Building on the anonymous contributions idea, you could make it so that the pseudonyms don't show in whatever software and web frontends you use. Github clones for instance could show "Anonymous" and an ID system to prevent samefagging in issue or PR comments. As a bonus, if you can't tell who's saying what, it'll help good ideas get more support. Instead of dick sucking one lazy, negative important faggot.

That and the pseudonym, CoC, and GPG ideas would be great at keeping out drama queens. But the problem is you'd need to get developers that are actually dedicated to the software and not their e-peen.

The idea of enforcing anonymity via pseudonyms, with GPG keys as identity proofs is technically sound. Accepting donations via crypto is also a interesting idea.
But, anything that becomes popular enough in the Internet eventually spills out into RL. If a thing becomes relevant in RL, then it attracts parasites activists who want to borrow the relevance of the thing for their own purposes.
With this model you would just ignore all of that to focus on the project? And what about legal action (e.g. license violations, trademark infringement)? That cannot be done as user.

That may be an excellent idea, although very idealistic. Unless everyone committed under the same name, email, and timezone though (no PGP signing for the commits too), you would trivially know who's proposing what PR by cloning the repo where the PR comes from.

It's only compounded with the fact (as I understand it) that your pseudonym would be something tied only to the project, and to nothing else. People get doxxed because of their attachment to pseudonyms they've used during years, in forums, games, etc. so this would serve to prevent that.
I believe this is the major hurdle; almost no-one wants to do hard work and not even get recognized for it. More so when the field is getting over-saturated and that is becoming more and more of a requirement for getting a non-shit job. Not everyone can become an entrepreneur (risky, no time then) or a consultant.

He says as he shitposts on the internet, on a computer.

Turing, considered by most to be the father of modern computing, was a homosexual. He was chemically castrated despite his insurmountable service to his country. He later committed suicide.

I don't understand people like you. We have plenty of people on this planet who are still breeders and It's not like we're in any need of a population boost, so why get mad if someone would rather dedicate themselves to engineering, software and science rather than chasing used-up poon like a caveman? When you you focus on a life like that, you tend to seek the embrace of the fellow engineer, rather than that of some drone. Because they can understand you. You can share your knowledge and with that bond comes affection.

You are sick of mind, yelling at the world, accusing it of being mad. When In the harshness of reality, It has always been you.

Why make this post?

Eventually you would want to meet other people and promote your idea. You can hardly go to a conference and give a speech wearing a ninja suit and a voice changer.

Okay. And what does the man dedicated to his trade have to do with that?

good, faggot

I love how faggots act holier than thou for poopdicking/tearing up colons--you do realize the average homosexual not only wants to kiss boys, but to piss on them and chain them up by their assholes, right? Deviant sexual desires and homosexuality are inextricably linked. I love the term "breeder" too--it's essentially the equivalent of "normalfag" for heterosexuals.

Cancer.

Hasn't happened in at least a decade

You can, but it'd be even easier to just do a VoIP call with a voice changer. That way, your experience is shared without you whoring for attention for no reason.

You can make or restore another system, quite like the pre-git kernel patching process (patches in tarballs: in the new implementation, they could have either manual application or merging). This would provide further anonymization.

oh, alright-
Sorry to say, but that's in essence the same thing.
Both are general ideas as to how someone should conduct themselfs in a public and civil manor.
Both don't need to always be enforced.

oh right, that's so much better.
Just ignore all sides entirely! :D Take that sjws and nazis!!!
Biologically, there is no "other" or "they".
"They" is a term meaning them as in many, your entire stance is bullshit.
Biology has only 2 genders.
Genderless pronouns is bullshit no matter what way to slice the cake and he's obviously only taking this stance beacuse he doesn't want to completely invalidate his leftist butt buddies.

He literally made up new pronouns to accommodate gender confusion, retard.

You two don't realize the ball is not in our field now.
The proposal above won't hurt SJWs as a group because their leaders are expendable and require no specific skill, it will only give them a new tool to infiltrate orgs by getting wrongthinkers fired and a new tool to use when in power.
Have you ever seen Wikipedia?
Anonymous/pseudonymous contributions disliked by the rulers can not only be easily deleted by claiming they come from ban evaders/sockpuppets (with no real evidence of this, of course), but they can also be used as "evidence" to ban other contributions by claiming they are made by the same person behind the now banned user account.
By forcing anonymity it will be easier for SJWs to lower the amount of evidence required for purges even more, and without upsetting the general public.
Anonymity offers some advantages but forcing it while the SJWs are on the offensive would be suicidal.

The image was pretty good, I'll give him that

You can't though.

It's not. If you think telling people to be kind to each other is the same as mandating that you not post x or y even on your personal social media, then you're retarded. It's a world of difference. Late video returns have punitive fees attached to them. Not rewinding your tape just makes you an asshole.

The entire proposal above was about forcing anonymity by banning non-anonymous contributors, and that's the proposal I'm criticizing.

You would need more than just an administrative policy; you would need a whole new tool set for collaborative development that was designed with anonymity in mind. You would even need new version control systems that weren't user-centric.

Video store customers don't hunt down other customers and try to get them fired from their jobs for not rewinding a tape. The metaphor is retarded and you're a total faggot.

All of that is completely pointless if it means your enemy is rewarded for doxxing your team members.

Then your problem isn't with GNU. It's with faggots.

That's a general problem with wageslaves and not a CoC thing.
That's all branding and bullshit pr's doing.
A code of conduct isn't supposed to do that at all, it's just that fucking retarded have made it into that by making really shitty code of conducts, esssentually turning them from being "don't say stupid shit in the workplace" to "sign away your soul goy and don't ever think about saying mean things ever because this is your life now"
The difference is obvious, this is the main problem with CoCs today, their not CoCs, they're trying to be contracts.

The point is to make the gratis contributors like wage slaves,
or drive them out alltogether.

Remeber your enemy also bans you from having female children as brides.
Enemies of men. AKA: americans/whites.

Unironically not a bad idea. Anyone who contributes must contribute using an online alias.

CoC is a symptom of coming under the influence of faggots. Psychotic homosexuality ("gender choice") is embedded as a tenet.

It's not. The contributors' covenant, it can be argued, but every community has rules, even this one. Or are you going to claim that the global rules are SJW shit? Your problem is with people that try to get people removed from shit said off-project communications. This has no punitive measures, so it's not a problem. There is a reason why the Coraline Ada Ehmke is fucking pissed about this, and it's because it takes power away from his tranny ass and diffuses the complaint that they were using to get their foot in the door. Now they have nothing to complain about, so they resort to calling RMS a transphobe and so on. RMS gives no fucks and has just played them like a damn fiddle. You're just too fucking dumb to see it, or a shill.

It's nothing more than the ol' PROBLEM->REACTION->SOLUTION tactic that's also used to justify the police state due to "refugee" invasions.

RMS is a creepy pederast and GNU sucks anyway. Use BSD you faggots

...

...

Do you have anything that substantiates your claims?

no im just messing with you faggot

I'm not against rules, I'm against rules which are irrelevant to the nature of participation both in scope and application. How can you be so obtuse when we've already seen CoC used as a weapon against contributors based on their personal lives and political stances?

Wrong board, bsdnigger

...

Just stick with SQLite's deus vult CoC.

There are not punitive measures described in these guidelines. You are not required to follow them. There is a reason the CoC niggers are angry about this. You're just too fucking stupid to see it.

inb4
Linus tries to switch to this or something like this. Gets told that wanting to move away from Coraline's CoC is transphobic / hateful in itself.

screenshot this

Doesn't matter. Having a psychotice gender-bender CoC gives SJWs a valid basis for complaining about the personal beliefs of other people, and they will swarm the project maintainers like piranhas like they always do, and the maintainers will capitulate like they always do. So far, no large project has been able to resist this pressure; it has nothing to do with explicit punitive measures. You're being deliberately obtuse because you're a tranny faggot SJW, its pretty clear.
