And honestly, the stuff people think of as "anti-white" racism is just an extension of anti-black racism. It's fundamentally based on an extremely poor opinion of black people that a bunch of people are trying to cover up for by pretending to be "good" and being "anti-racist".
Reverse racism refers to reverse discrimination which is indirect discrimination through inclusion as opposed to exclusion. Affirmative action and a women's gym are examples. It can be racist but it's not synonymous with racism. He described racial discrimination in the context of this video. Systemic anti-whiteism to be specific.

The problem is Bryan and people who think like them don't actually contribute to communities. They are just culture vultures trying to attack groups who are inclusive to other people. A lot of them barely know how to create as their ideology makes it hard to be creative in the first place. It's possible they could make a functional fork, but I highly doubt any of their UX or support will be up to snuff, as those with social skills and creative art ideas are inherently "left wing"
3 1/2 years ago, Bryan wrote an article explaining that the Linux Foundation received nearly $200 million in funding for one year, but only 3.4% of that money went to Linux development. This brings up an obvious question. Where does the rest of that money go? Based on the political views of those involved, I wouldn't be surprised if I learned tomorrow that the Linux Foundation was involved in money laundering for PAC's or political candidates.
@@meskes4059 The current US head of the dept of Homeland Security is a board member of HIAS. Mayorkas & HIAS look into it. HIAS can be found in central America with huge camps explaining to people how they can get into the USA. Most of them are young-to-middle age men, but they are handing out r4p3 kits to the women and children. People fly from as far as Afghanistan/Africa to these camps. By the time they reach the border they usually have over $5k invested. They are coached to invoke asylum status. Mayorkas policies and board position are a CLEAR conflict of interest, and the fact he gets to continue as DHS head proves how screwed we are from the top down. Forget NGO's the USA is now a money-laundering warehouse.
You migh the interested in actually reading the report instead of reading someone summarizing it (badly ) for you Turns out Linux is not just the kernel and the Linux foundation actually supported 849 other open source project Wich was 59.2% of their budget in 2022 The one the article criticize were the 5g one Does he think Linux should not work on iot and 5g Also keep in mind a ton of donation actually have requirement that maybe don't fully coincide with your goal But if you get 50 spend 20 on unrelated thing and keep the 30 it's still a net gain
@@fabienso5889 So the Linux Foundation sends millions of $ to other NGO's who are supposedly "open source projects"? Now I have more questions. Who are these "open source projects"?

@@fabienso5889 I posted a long reply, but apparently it didn't go through. To keep it short, I find it highly unusual that a non-profit is funneling millions of $ to other non-profits. Most non-profits I'm aware of usually receive those donations from private individuals or for-profit businesses.
I remember my grandparents sitting around having political discussions with their friends, on Friday nights when I got to stay with them. There was never any yelling, name-calling, or people stomping out of the room angrily. People disagreed, yes, but they understood that people were more than just their political beliefs, and even when they disagreed, they still respected each other. I don't think this way of being exists in America anymore, and it's sad.
The Public Schools have not taught people HOW to think, only WHAT to think. So, the ones that were never able to think for themselves have become brainwashed, and most of them have wrapped their whole identity around the ideologies they have had crammed into their skulls. Such people think any disagreement whatsoever is a literal assault upon them, and act as though disagreeing with them is the same as trying to kill them. There is no way to have a constructive debate or even discussion with such people.

Miss the 90s, you could work with a crowd on a project without even knowing what species they were, let alone what gender or color, and you knew them by pseudonyms that sounded like pieces of hardware or medieval pests.
The crazy thing is if you decided to folk linux and create a politically neutral tech focused distro. It would be labeled "ultra right-wing" because it's "anti-political"
As someone running a functionally anti-political FOSS project, it became denigrated as "fascist" simply because it took an anti-ideology position, probably doesn't help that majority of the community is actually right leaning anyway though.
The core problem with all the equity policies is the false assumption that the lack of diversity/equity/inclusion is inherently indicative of discrimination/unfair social treatment. In reality, many of the methods they use to redistribute social power and "solve" this perceived unfairness are the real examples of discrimination.
That is because of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Provisions of it literally allow to assume that the difference in outcome is the difference in treatment.
They pretend the civil rights movement never happened, then proceed to areas the civil rights movement and claim it for themselves, you actually have to believe we are worse now then deep south 1950s

Unless Microsoft somehow pys-oped Linus Torvalds, the problem has really been that the lack of gatekeeping against the people who wanted to bring woke ideology in.
@@Spartan322 A guy like Linus wasn't thinking about people in this way at all. He was looking at them strictly based on performance/code, and he would be quick to get nasty with them. He was "re-educated" as a result. Before he realized it he was surrounded by people he'd likely admit to you in private he thinks are lunatics. But also Linus in a general way "agrees" with their alleged ideals in a general sense. These people generally pretend to be advocating for things that no one would disagree with at face value because they make the people who disagree with them out to be backwards monsters.
@@drownthepoor Exactly what happened. Also its not like he is "surrounded" by these woke people all around, but that (as usual) they are very vocal about it, with many people silently just working / labouring on code. The main issue is that Linux development nowadays is very coprporately founded - and this push comes from those corpos often...
This is nuts. Some years I ago had IBM as supplier of a software product, worst company ever to deal with. I will never ever interact with that company again.
"Reverse racism", "Reverse sexism", and other terms like these are abstractions created to make reprehensible behavior seem acceptable. Considering historical examples, speaking using abstractions of this nature this is quite a bad idea to put it mildly.

Bryan could've retained his status by keeping quiet as many have chosen to do, he deliberately allowed them to tarnish his reputation by speaking out against this sort of nonsense, i have infinite respect for Bryan because of this.
The rason he harmed his reputation for me is that he lied about Mozilla. I had watched a few videos before, but now I know he makes up stuff, and doesn't correct it. If you don't believe me, watch the first part of his Mozilla video. Then Google Mozilla "deplatform" and see what they actually said. Saying that bullies and people who use their platforms for violence should be banned is not bullying. This very much seems a very conservative reactionary channel more than a tech channel. He ironically is not being apolitical.
When people become obsessed with diversity and inclusion, they discriminate and exclude. When everyone believes their ideologies are absolute, progression dies. And when the well gets poisoned, everyone leaves it.
Having lived my entire life with a paranoid schizophrenic as a father, and the last 18 years with a brother that has it... I have learned that you should absolutely not be feeding a mentally ill individual's delusions...
It's been going on in general for that long, and in places like Google, Microsoft, etc it's been well-known. Years ago Lunduke has highlighted it at I think it was SW-Linux Convention when they banned a guy because they realized he was pro-Trump. But the Red-Hat thing could be just the result of them being acquired by IBM. IBM is an obvious candidate for this because they developed the indexing system for the camps during WWII, and they know that story is out there floating around.
Most of the projects I was interested in have made it pretty clear folks like me aren't welcomed. It's disheartening and I've kinda just noped out of tech at this point. I don't wanna stress folks out. I just wanna have fun on the internet with other internet people.
As an actual far-righter, part of me dies every time woke leftists refer to Trump and Ron DeSantis as "far-right". Back in my days, those guys were considered center-right or even centrist (or, dare I say: left-wing). The Overton-window has shifted so far to the left, huh?
This is sad, really sad for me, I use open source projects for 30 years, name a version of Linux for PC, I used it. I speak daily about supporting the use of open source and how open standards help us all. I remember that in the 90s the most important thing was to solve engineering problems regardless of your origins, opinions, skin color or religion, each effort was precious because they were people who contributed their time and knowledge. And now finding out about all this, this mountain of crap, is stupid. And to make matters worse, they are in favor of censorship and, consequently, against freedom of expression. Thanks by the info.
Discrimination is cringe. But it is important to separate it into Legal discrimination and Illegal discrimination. Like... is it cringe to discriminate based on the religion of a person? Yeah. Cringe. But what if you have no obligations to that person whatsoever? Still cringe, but legal. In my books - that's fine. Lets say it like this: If I worked in one of these places, and I happened to be fired for being who I am, I would make sure to gather as much evidence as possible and then go directly to a lawyer. Because this type of discrimination is illegal in most of the world for a long time. But if I wasn't an employee, but instead a speaker at some conference and I was canceled... I'd cringe, and I'd write to folks like you to make some noise... but that's about it. No real consequences other than (maybe) shaming them for it (which probably won't work). Ultimately that's fine. Because if I ever decide to organize my own conference, I'd like to have the right to cancel speakers that I don't like too. If I suspect that they might use my conference for promoting ideas I disagree with, I'd like to be able to cancel both the Nazi and the Commie from speaking, without fearing that they might sue me for it.
what I enjoy is watching this sort of stuff live in the workplace and then seeing people online try to gas light me that it's not real and only happens on social media and i need to touch grass. I am touching grass, the grass is where this is an issue, it can very easily be ignored online, if it was only in a few online communities i wouldn't care.
My pet opinion: This is the result of telling journalists to "learn to code." The (then-)Twitter engineers said it was hate speech, and y'all didn't believe them.
Why is this news? This has been going on for quite some time, maybe 10+ years now. I was going to be hired full time by a large bank three years ago that said the same and my color would not be hired going forward. I am a white male. As per my RUclips avatar. They were going to hire me because of my work ethic and my knowledge, but I quit that job and had to scrape by until I found a better company with values. I won't work for one of these crazed companies. I sent a letter to the appropriate federal agencies, and heard crickets.
many *MANY* projects are already doing this. Tox (the chat protocol) is a notable example. I will go to my grave saying the recent xz backdoor scandal was exactly the same thing.
May I add, this is clearly VERY influenced by US politics and US worldviews, both by their left and right. I'm Latin American and all of this is very difficult to understand, both the constant attempts to segregate people into subgroups or ethnicities or sexual orientation or gender identity or whatever. Even those who consider themselves enlightened still seem to only be able to understand the world through the American cultural bias.
One of the primary issues here is that we've operated on the premise that "it's ok to disagree", "live and let live", and "I support your right to believe what you want." The enemy doesn't believe in or respect these ideals. They believe in freedom of speech only for themselves and not you. They believe in equality only for people that agree with them. They've exploited the fact that reasonable people are reasonable. They've engineered a situation where they get to say and do whatever they want without consequences and you are not even allowed to have an opinion about it. Covering the issue isn't enough. This will continue and only get worse until we are willing to fight fire with fire. "It's ok," isn't 'ok' any more. It's not ok and it needs to stop, sooner rather than later.
I love all the bolsheviks in this video's comments desperately trying to get conservatives to be just as bad as the far-left marxists pushing these agendas. We (Conservatives, Libertarians, AnCaps, etc) politely decline your offer to compromise our positions, thanks.
I remember the first time I saw an open source code of conduct, and it blew me away. Like, "Oh, you can contribute code for free, but only if you do what I say" --- uh sweaty? I don't think you understand your position here...
I truly believe that these idiots pushing these idiotic beliefs are doing more harm to their cause than good. People that absolutely did and do not care are getting sick and tired of having stuff pushed into their faces. And told what to think and believe. And are becoming more and more offended to the point where they do not want to hear or see it anywhere at any time.
For every 100 people who turn against them, one person is going to agree with them. If they were able to take this much power with .001% of the population, just imagine what they can do with 1%. They exploit the notion of everyone refusing to stoop to their level. Until we start adopting some of their more effective tactics, it's not going to get better. Every time you see a blue-haired rich white girl in a position of power, start chanting about how she's not black enough to be in that position. Go to college campuses and protest how they aren't 50% black students.
You mean Conservative Christians, right? Because they're constantly blathering at me and witnessing to me. Blah blah blah, Heaven, Hell, yadda yadda. All those stupid billboards and fliers. . . Is there a way to get these self-important hypocrites to keep their lifestyles to themselves? They constantly flaunt their life choices in my face and I didn't ask for it. I mean, it's disgusting. Keep it in the house.

Knowing Linus Torvalds, he's eventually gonna step on the toes of someone belonging to the wrong protected class (probably because they submitted subpar code) and he's gonna learn what woke means the hard way.
Like jk Rowling did she bent over backward for these people, then they went after her and tried to steal her intellectual property, they are evil demons
Linus' post was actually very left-centrist. It was kind of unfair to have him included with all the crazy Marxists. That said, ESR posted in 2015 that Linus doesn't allow himself to be alone with women in conferences, because the Ada Initiative tried to frame him for sexual harrassment. Plus, *his own daughter* betrayed him in order to get a Code of Conduct inserted into the Kernel (which got neutered by an interpretations.txt file), leading him to take a hiatus from BDFL duties.
I keep saying it's time to start a new kernel/ecosystem that's just for developers. No more corporate interests. No more woke crap. Dumping 50 years of POSIX baggage wouldn't hurt either.
You sound like Lennart Poettering, who famously said during 27C3 that if you didn't use logind, you "hate disabled people", while trying to get people to ditch POSIX.
FreeBSD's code of conduct isn't perfect, but it specifically prohibits discrimination against people due to religious beliefs (or lack of) or political beliefs. Most stuff runs natively, anything that doesn't can run in a linux jail or under the linux emulation layer.

As far as I know this is the first reference to the movie or even mention of SCANNERS I'd say in over 30 years. And as soon as you say head explode that is the scene I see in my head before you said the name.

I have never met anyone who I have not ultimately found to be "crazy". I have never found any truth that resembles "common sense" after doing any serious learning on any topic. It is "common sense" that the sun travels around the Earth because that is how it appears to move without examining adequate data. It is "common sense" that the Earth is flat. Any sharpshooter will have to factor in both the curve and velocity of the Earth's rotation to do their job, so our immediate "common sense" perceptions are utterly incorrect. We would not know that our immediate perceptions and intuitions were misplaced if we did not attempt the extraordinary. This is why whenever anyone appleals to common sense, I simply default to concluding that this is a person who has not rationally considered whatever matter they are talking about, looked for any evidence to support their feelings, or tested their assumptions in any rational way. I then stop paying any attention to them. I just thought I'd share this in case it proves to be useful to anyone.
@@paulbishop6357common sense is useful, to a point. Though I share a similar opinion to what you expressed - at least when it comes to being dogmatic about it - issues arise when reducing things down to granules without specific intent.

I've recently watched a couple of videos outside the linux context on the similar topic, and one popular view seems to be that the only ideology companies have is profit, and the only reason they do left-wing stuff is because it's currently more popular and makes it easier to secure investments at the time, and I wonder if it's the same with IBM for instance. For example if IBM has a presence somewhere in Saudi Arabia or something like that, you can be pretty sure they would never mention anything remotely progressive in there cause it would lose them money

@@paulbishop6357 He is using the terms as they are commonly thought of today, not in the post-French revolution & Liberal republic democracy ways. But Reagan was absolutely terrible. He gave amnesty to millions in California, and as a result it has never been republican since. That underpins much of the love for immigration the govt/corporations are still promoting. Koch Brothers are often associated with it. He also was an obvious puppet of the banks, and there's a famous video where the former-banker and chair of the fed instructs Reagan to "wrap it up" while on stage. Republicans are often identified as conservative which is the opposite of liberal. They are relative directions, politically. The entirety of the USA and it's political govt had traditionally been considered liberal, and libertarians will often reference things in this way. Also when we're talking about liberal/conservative it is usually republicans/conservatives who want less govt, and less regulation, and also less taxing/spending. Their opposition wants more regulation & oversight, more social services, and more laws in general. This is likely where you would say they are un-liberal. Both parties preach to their voters, and both screw their voters over. But liberal typically references social/cultural views and this is the way it's often used. Things like teaching LGBTQ ideas, pro-choice/feminism, anti-2nd amendment etc.

Gentoo has binary distributions as well, I haven't looked in a while but I've found their documentation to be excellent.

59:40 - I disagree. Anybody who expresses that they wish a violent end to come to people over their beliefs or because of the color of their skin is not welcome in any projects I moderate, at least if they express those desires in the context of my project, or I learn that they have a plan to try to bring those attitudes to my project. And anybody who expresses a desire to ostracize people for these things in the context of my project is also not welcome. Those things cannot be tolerated. And there's a fine line. I'm fine with someone who's an anti-semite on their own time. In the context of the broader political arena, I will oppose them. But in the context of my project, if they keep it in their pants, sure. But if I discover that they're part of a secret cabal of people who intend to exclude all Jewish people from my project, they're out. Or if they start making it a focus of conversations on my project, they're also out. Again, that can't be tolerated. Projects must be able to allow people of all political stripes to participate and contribute. And part of that is making sure that people who are working to exclude others must not be tolerated.

This war has been ongoing. Too many geeks were bullied and want revenge but wont admit it so the elites who are also geeks but warlike use them as pawns.
I wrote this comment before I got to the video where Lunduke said he was bullied. I am software dev who beat up bullies and when going thru schools all the kids in tech were the kids who got bullied. Lunduke doesnt want revenge, but most of them do.
It's important to acknowledge that the Linux Mint founder did turn around on the extreme political statements shown in the video, and the post was deleted afterwards - which made hard to research this case, since this happened in 2009, before any snapshot of The Web Archive. Regardless if it was a true change of mind, of just to stop the backlash, it has to be said. Found this researching the reach of DEI in Linux distros, to maybe eventually make a public list with the results.
In my opinion, there's no such thing as reverse racism. It's all just racism.
Racism is good as long as everyone allowed to be racist.
stop being logical, people dont like it
And honestly, the stuff people think of as "anti-white" racism is just an extension of anti-black racism. It's fundamentally based on an extremely poor opinion of black people that a bunch of people are trying to cover up for by pretending to be "good" and being "anti-racist".
And we should bring a mass class lawsuit action.
Reverse racism refers to reverse discrimination which is indirect discrimination through inclusion as opposed to exclusion. Affirmative action and a women's gym are examples. It can be racist but it's not synonymous with racism. He described racial discrimination in the context of this video. Systemic anti-whiteism to be specific.

The only way to beat them is to make them obsolete. Pick a project, and the ones that depend on it and fork them. Make the code better, and replace the originals.
The problem is Bryan and people who think like them don't actually contribute to communities. They are just culture vultures trying to attack groups who are inclusive to other people. A lot of them barely know how to create as their ideology makes it hard to be creative in the first place.

3 1/2 years ago, Bryan wrote an article explaining that the Linux Foundation received nearly $200 million in funding for one year, but only 3.4% of that money went to Linux development. This brings up an obvious question. Where does the rest of that money go? Based on the political views of those involved, I wouldn't be surprised if I learned tomorrow that the Linux Foundation was involved in money laundering for PAC's or political candidates.

@@meskes4059 The current US head of the dept of Homeland Security is a board member of HIAS. Mayorkas & HIAS look into it.
HIAS can be found in central America with huge camps explaining to people how they can get into the USA. Most of them are young-to-middle age men, but they are handing out r4p3 kits to the women and children.
People fly from as far as Afghanistan/Africa to these camps. By the time they reach the border they usually have over $5k invested.
They are coached to invoke asylum status.
Mayorkas policies and board position are a CLEAR conflict of interest, and the fact he gets to continue as DHS head proves how screwed we are from the top down.

I remember my grandparents sitting around having political discussions with their friends, on Friday nights when I got to stay with them. There was never any yelling, name-calling, or people stomping out of the room angrily. People disagreed, yes, but they understood that people were more than just their political beliefs, and even when they disagreed, they still respected each other. I don't think this way of being exists in America anymore, and it's sad.
Love your profile picture. AnCap for life.
The Public Schools have not taught people HOW to think, only WHAT to think. So, the ones that were never able to think for themselves have become brainwashed, and most of them have wrapped their whole identity around the ideologies they have had crammed into their skulls. Such people think any disagreement whatsoever is a literal assault upon them, and act as though disagreeing with them is the same as trying to kill them.
There is no way to have a constructive debate or even discussion with such people.

The core problem with all the equity policies is the false assumption that the lack of diversity/equity/inclusion is inherently indicative of discrimination/unfair social treatment. In reality, many of the methods they use to redistribute social power and "solve" this perceived unfairness are the real examples of discrimination.
That is because of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Provisions of it literally allow to assume that the difference in outcome is the difference in treatment.

Inclusivity
Equity

But the Red-Hat thing could be just the result of them being acquired by IBM.
IBM is an obvious candidate for this because they developed the indexing system for the camps during WWII, and they know that story is out there floating around.

Discrimination is cringe.
But it is important to separate it into Legal discrimination and Illegal discrimination.
Like... is it cringe to discriminate based on the religion of a person? Yeah. Cringe.
But what if you have no obligations to that person whatsoever? Still cringe, but legal. In my books - that's fine.
Lets say it like this:
If I worked in one of these places, and I happened to be fired for being who I am, I would make sure to gather as much evidence as possible and then go directly to a lawyer.
Because this type of discrimination is illegal in most of the world for a long time.
But if I wasn't an employee, but instead a speaker at some conference and I was canceled... I'd cringe, and I'd write to folks like you to make some noise... but that's about it.
No real consequences other than (maybe) shaming them for it (which probably won't work).
Ultimately that's fine.
Because if I ever decide to organize my own conference, I'd like to have the right to cancel speakers that I don't like too.
If I suspect that they might use my conference for promoting ideas I disagree with, I'd like to be able to cancel both the Nazi and the Commie from speaking, without fearing that they might sue me for it.
what I enjoy is watching this sort of stuff live in the workplace and then seeing people online try to gas light me that it's not real and only happens on social media and i need to touch grass. I am touching grass, the grass is where this is an issue, it can very easily be ignored online, if it was only in a few online communities i wouldn't care.
My pet opinion: This is the result of telling journalists to "learn to code." The (then-)Twitter engineers said it was hate speech, and y'all didn't believe them.

I was going to be hired full time by a large bank three years ago that said the same and my color would not be hired going forward. I am a white male. As per my RUclips avatar. They were going to hire me because of my work ethic and my knowledge, but I quit that job and had to scrape by until I found a better company with values. I won't work for one of these crazed companies. I sent a letter to the appropriate federal agencies, and heard crickets.

May I add, this is clearly VERY influenced by US politics and US worldviews, both by their left and right.

Even those who consider themselves enlightened still seem to only be able to understand the world through the American cultural bias.

One of the primary issues here is that we've operated on the premise that "it's ok to disagree", "live and let live", and "I support your right to believe what you want." The enemy doesn't believe in or respect these ideals. They believe in freedom of speech only for themselves and not you. They believe in equality only for people that agree with them. They've exploited the fact that reasonable people are reasonable. They've engineered a situation where they get to say and do whatever they want without consequences and you are not even allowed to have an opinion about it. Covering the issue isn't enough. This will continue and only get worse until we are willing to fight fire with fire. "It's ok," isn't 'ok' any more. It's not ok and it needs to stop, sooner rather than later.

I truly believe that these idiots pushing these idiotic beliefs are doing more harm to their cause than good. People that absolutely did and do not care are getting sick and tired of having stuff pushed into their faces. And told what to think and believe. And are becoming more and more offended to the point where they do not want to hear or see it anywhere at any time.
For every 100 people who turn against them, one person is going to agree with them. If they were able to take this much power with .001% of the population, just imagine what they can do with 1%.
They exploit the notion of everyone refusing to stoop to their level. Until we start adopting some of their more effective tactics, it's not going to get better. Every time you see a blue-haired rich white girl in a position of power, start chanting about how she's not black enough to be in that position. Go to college campuses and protest how they aren't 50% black students.

Linus' post was actually very left-centrist. It was kind of unfair to have him included with all the crazy Marxists.
That said, ESR posted in 2015 that Linus doesn't allow himself to be alone with women in conferences, because the Ada Initiative tried to frame him for sexual harrassment. Plus, *his own daughter* betrayed him in order to get a Code of Conduct inserted into the Kernel (which got neutered by an interpretations.txt file), leading him to take a hiatus from BDFL duties.

I have never met anyone who I have not ultimately found to be "crazy".
I have never found any truth that resembles "common sense" after doing any serious learning on any topic.
It is "common sense" that the sun travels around the Earth because that is how it appears to move without examining adequate data. It is "common sense" that the Earth is flat. Any sharpshooter will have to factor in both the curve and velocity of the Earth's rotation to do their job, so our immediate "common sense" perceptions are utterly incorrect. We would not know that our immediate perceptions and intuitions were misplaced if we did not attempt the extraordinary.
This is why whenever anyone appleals to common sense, I simply default to concluding that this is a person who has not rationally considered whatever matter they are talking about, looked for any evidence to support their feelings, or tested their assumptions in any rational way.

Also now that I think of it, when it comes to most products, if a lot of people just stop buying it, it will force a change, but it's a bit more complicated with foss because you don't usually directly support anything financially so it doesn't really matter if you use their stuff or not
It’s this 100%. You especially see it during pride month when companies will have rainbow logos on every social except those in the Middle East.

and once june is over it all goes down the jejunum, and everything looks quite middle eastern again.
This is why companies let the True Believers in, but once they're there they have a lot of power that is difficult to dislodge.
This is why I started to avoid Gnome about a decade ago. Same with big corporations in general. Also rather working less than paying more taxes than necessary.
This feels like the kind of topic Clownfish TV would cover. Stuff like this occurs in many forms of software and entertainment, too.
They're highly suggestible, broken people who've lead sheltered lives. If it weren't for their spiteful streak they would have my sympathy.
A pendulum swings...
Alright, Linux has lost all of respect I had for it. And right when I was trying to give it another chance. Unfortunately the alternatives are no better, but hey, at least they run the programs I need on my daily grind.
We're sure going to miss you. Enjoy your Microsoft/Apple submission.
I fail to understand why the racist policies from Red Hat gets so little attention/criticism, even from "right wing" media and commentators
maybe no one cares about red hat anymore
Three reasons:
1) Conservative nerds are grossly-underrepresented on Social Media and Mainstream Media.
2) No conservative nerds are letting the bigger influencers on the above platforms know.
3) Conservative MSM is largely co-opted by RINOs, and aren't allowed more than an "aw shucks, we lost to the liberals again" narrative.
Had no idea this was so widespread amongst the Linux community leadership.
Time to fork TempleOS!
That would be an interesting experiment lol or dos went open source lol
This is so crazy. What is even more alarming this has been happening for years now.
I have a theory that if you sit in front of the computer long enough you get the urge to start cutting off body parts and claiming a mental helth problem.

Let's fork FreeBSD and make it meritocratic and ancap.

@@monad_tcp I've actually already started on my own FreeBSD-based OS, if you're interested. AcephalOS on Codeberg. It's gonna use the GoboLinux directory structure and have an immutable core. Build script won't complete for some reason, though.
Hello my new friend 😊

This needs to be more widespread. The internet is pretending this isn’t happening.

Which distribution do you think is the most neutral, or at least the least involved in this ideological madness ?
Alpine Linux by a mile.
You can thank people like Robin DiAngelo for this crap.
I used to be apolitical, but Liberals have gone so far Left; they kept giving me more reasons to never vote for them again.
What the hell do you mean the "liberals" have gone left?
"LIBERAL" means "free market". Ronald Reagan considered himself to be a Liberal. So you think Ronald Reagan's party has gone to far? I agree with that sentiment, but I don't think it's the one you mean to express.
You're deeply confused and badly educated.
@@paulbishop6357The term "liberal" has been skunked. You must be very out of touch if you don't know that by now.
@@mckendrick7672
Well, obviously I do know. I'm a disingenuous monster. I admit it.
But you see, it's not worldwide. Use the word "liberal" in Ireland or Britain and they'll think you mean exactly what I was alluding to. So the rest of the world thinks that Americans are insane. Which we are. But then, considering Britain's political situation, they know they can't cast stones.
Besides, in the sense OP meant, the United States does not really have any leftist or American "liberal" political parties worth mentioning. Not only don't these people actually use the correct English words to describe their political ideas, they don't even know what these ideas are supposed to be.
The way people frame political discussions are so extremely and artificially constricted it gets in the way of everything important. All these discussions are reduced to noise.
So I mock it. I make bitter jokes of it.
Some people collect stamps.
Liberal nationalism for the win

He is using the terms as they are commonly thought of today, not in the post-French revolution & Liberal republic democracy ways.
But Reagan was absolutely terrible. He gave amnesty to millions in California, and as a result it has never been republican since.
That underpins much of the love for immigration the govt/corporations are still promoting. Koch Brothers are often associated with it.
He also was an obvious puppet of the banks, and there's a famous video where the former-banker and chair of the fed instructs Reagan to "wrap it up" while on stage.
Republicans are often identified as conservative which is the opposite of liberal. They are relative directions, politically.
The entirety of the USA and it's political govt had traditionally been considered liberal, and libertarians will often reference things in this way.
Also when we're talking about liberal/conservative it is usually republicans/conservatives who want less govt, and less regulation, and also less taxing/spending.
Their opposition wants more regulation & oversight, more social services, and more laws in general. This is likely where you would say they are un-liberal.
Both parties preach to their voters, and both screw their voters over.
But liberal typically references social/cultural views and this is the way it's often used. Things like teaching LGBTQ ideas, pro-choice/feminism, anti-2nd amendment etc.
12:43 I can think of a few ways around their discriminatory scholarship requirements. You can check the disabled box if you have ADHD or any psychiatric condition such as depression, or even asthma. Otherwise you can simply claim that you’re “non-binary” which has a very vague subjective definition.
Even checking that box sort of plays into the insanity though.
@@drownthepoorI agree with you but sometimes taking advantage of the system they put in place for personal gain is better than being a target otherwise. Why not take money from these people? It'll go to a better place if it's in your bank and not theirs.

Technology is neutral by default. Neutral towards ethnicity, religion, gender or politics. Only neutrality offers true tolerance and inclusivness.
Ha, Google's AI image generation proved that technology isn't always non-political.
@@slaapliedje Yes, you are right about this one. Every rule has it's exceptions, generative AI is one of them. Clearly Google left the principle of neutrality and opted in for a change in the status quo. They don't want to reflect the current reality instead they wanted to create a new one based on their set values. As a result of leaving the neutrality principle many people lost trust in the tool and in Google.
@mnemonic_de Yeah, in that particular case, I wouldn't surprise me if that was more about a group of employees that worked on the AI, rather than Google as a whole. They fired a bunch of employees protesting their dealings with Israel... don't try to hit your employer in the wallet, they will quickly drop the attitude of letting people say what they want to the public...
@@slaapliedje Well, from what I read this diversion from neutrality is company policy and they only want to change it for very specifc prompts like prompts about historic figures. Googles AI tools can decide the fate of the company, they certainly have supervision from top management so I wouldn't subscribe to the "group of employees" theory.

I have already move to BSD because of this nonsense, And it is not too bad if I say so myself the community has been pretty nice to me and very helpful too.
Reminder that FreeBSD community *bans virtual hugs* as a form of harassment.
reminder that life itself is *pozzed* because some idiot keeps crying about harmless observable reality.

I'm not sure I'm against it for a non-government non-profit organization. These organizations are often mythological in theme and concepts. The OpenBSD team in Canada is pretty wild too. Pissed off the Pentagon

I feel like Linux has peaked, and is going to fall apart.
Are you prepared for the butthurt when you feel you were wrong?
People have had it with windows and are switching to Linux in droves. Companies are kinda locked in, but given the state of the economy many will fail soon so it's a moot point.

How long do you need to install gentoo these days? :P (emphasis on the :P)
Gentoo has binary distributions as well, I haven't looked in a while but I've found their documentation to be excellent. Just make sure you pick a version with good compiler flags and it should save a lot of time, especially on the kernel.
Boot a Gentoo livecd, to get an idea of what modules to load, fstab mtab, create an archive of the /etc directory, /home, /root, ip route/interfaces/addresses to refer to on another pc when installing.
This saves time on any system really, using a live cd to find what modules or config is needed for your hardware. g/l ✌️

Free as in beer, no longer free as in speech... What a dumb step backwards.
59:40 - I disagree. Anybody who expresses that they wish a violent end to come to people over their beliefs or because of the color of their skin is not welcome in any projects I moderate, at least if they express those desires in the context of my project, or I learn that they have a plan to try to bring those attitudes to my project. And anybody who expresses a desire to ostracize people for these things in the context of my project is also not welcome.
Those things cannot be tolerated.
And there's a fine line. I'm fine with someone who's an anti-semite on their own time. In the context of the broader political arena, I will oppose them. But in the context of my project, if they keep it in their pants, sure. But if I discover that they're part of a secret cabal of people who intend to exclude all Jewish people from my project, they're out. Or if they start making it a focus of conversations on my project, they're also out.
Again, that can't be tolerated. Projects must be able to allow people of all political stripes to participate and contribute. And part of that is making sure that people who are working to exclude others must not be tolerated.
this is not just about open-source projects, but about all industries, digital or not, technology or not, cultural or not, health or not, entertainment or not, etc.
worse than that, it concerns the control that a certain elite exercises over the vast majority of the population. for no other reason, such a group is the elite. controllability is its own definition. _o/

Your points make me more sympathetic to corporate free rider managers that use open source software but are actively opposed to giving anything back to the open source community.
It's pretty clear by this point that the new vector of attack is "Let's just stop using Linux, guys!".

This war has been ongoing. Too many geeks were bullied and want revenge but wont admit it so the elites who are also geeks but warlike use them as pawns.

Identity politics, to one side it's scientific reality, to one side it's politics, the mainstream seems to side with the former which sucks.
The mainstream isn't very mainstream anymore. They have less than 50% of the mindshare in North America.
It's important to acknowledge that the Linux Mint founder did turn around on the extreme political statements shown in the video, and the post was deleted afterwards - which made hard to research this case, since this happened in 2009, before any snapshot of The Web Archive. Regardless if it was a true change of mind, of just to stop the backlash, it has to be said.
Found this researching the reach of DEI in Linux distros, to maybe eventually make a public list with the results.
