So the French Government requires Rust to build its operating system apparently.

Otter Tech's dissection of the Linux Foundation's kerfuffle is 💯 - https://otter.technology/blog/2018/09/20/linux-kernel-hastily-adopts-standard-code-of-conduct/

like, Look at the process here. Violations of the CoC go to be judged by the SAME fuckers who have enabled Linus in the first fuckign place. God damn i am so mad.

YEARS of rampant, unchecked abuse of women. YEARS of being called out for it, and lashing out in response.

TONS of receipts. that you can just, like, go look at on the public mailing list.

AND his absurd tiny message that got tons of press was WEAKSAUCE that he specifically put out to lessen the impact of some very simple journalistic investigation into his bullshit.

COME ON y'all.

Not to be a buzzkill, but can we maybe acknowledge that talking about men's dick sizes like that has something to say about their masculinity is *just a trifle shitty?*

Like, seriously, the invasive focus on the exact dimensions of people's goo tubes in US culture is one of the components of the machine of toxic masculinity that promises a way for people who think they are men to be Manly Enough while making that Manly Enough impossible to reach. It is one of those things making such people so anxious about their self-worth that they double-down on what parts they can reach at the cost of the happiness and safety of themselves and everyone around them. It is an *irrelevancy* elevated to the level of *moral imperative*, like most of toxic masculinity, and we should be helping people *stop* thinking of it as so important, not playing right into it for the purpose of dunking on someone we hate.

We already had this conversation about why we shouldn't call the shitbags ugly, y'all. Mock people for the shit that's actually harmful, not for shit which shouldn't even matter.

Est-ce que ça botterais du monde de rédiger collectivement une tribune énonçant clairement que le plus gros problème du logiciel libre en 2018 c'est la toxicité de ses communautés ?

On pourrait ensuite la traduire en un max de langues, la faire tourner et les gens pourraient y accoler leur nom/prénom/pseudonyme/whatever ?

The hardest problem in computer science is people actively believing there is no ideology or politics in computer science.

Par contre je pense que ça peut valoir le coup de pas déclarer une manifestation mais l'organisation d'un évènement sportif consistant à marcher d'un point A à un point B, et ensuite tu fais raquer tous les journaux qui ont pris des photos de la manif

"The chief executive of a small pharmaceutical company defended hiking the price of an essential antibiotic by more than 400 percent and told the Financial Times that he thinks “it is a moral requirement to make money when you can.”

"MORAL REQUIREMENT TO MAKE MONEY" let these 5 words sink in.

listen, there are a million other things i'd rather toot about than harassment and shitty instances

as a victim, it's a million times more tiring to have this subject continue to consume my life

but until people stop believing them and until people stop targeting and harassing marginalized folks without any proof or reason behind it

i'm gonna keep shouting and screaming about it
