A contributor to the Hyprland project (a dynamic window tiling manager), Vaxry, who he and others on his Discord is critical and joking of pronouns (who/cares), does not care about the political background of contributors or users of Hyprland and is concerned about the creep of ideology into the free and open source ecosystem.
Background:
From his critic: https://archive.ph/Sfvlr And Vaxry's rebuttal: https://archive.ph/jMoKB
He called out the bad apples who wish to impose their purity testing onto projects and users:
Subsequently his concerns were dismissed as transphobia and national socialism by his opponents which led to a member of RedHat, FreeDesktop and Xorg to tell him via a RedHat email address that he is in violation of the Code of Conduct for behaviour outside of the project and if he continues he will be banned.
And subsequently calling this out publicly got him banned.
And the other side justifying this move for balance:
As a consequence, he can no longer contribute code to FreeDesktop including Xorg and Wayland, critical components for a tiling window manager. And there is now a push to banish the "deeply toxic" Hyprland project from distributions and deal with "problematic" users to purge them from free and open source software, including their forks.
It looks as if the purity testing in free and open source software is spreading. And there are increasing numbers of individuals drunk with power who wish to impose their values, beliefs and codes onto everyone else. The Linux Kernel already replaced its Code of Conflict with the Code of Conduct. Not just with FreeDesktop, I've seen the same principles being made within the Linux kernel, Gnome, KDE, RedHat and other important project contributors and users. Now we're seeing purity testing and gatekeeping in the same regard as we've seen elsewhere in proprietary software, gaming and other media.
People critical of corporate sponsored FOSS are probably laughing their asses off for being proven right. At the very least the +NIGGER license will finally get its use as a repellent against DIE shills.
Hahahahaha, I'm going to have to include that on my future projects. Beautiful.
Wokeness has been in open source for over a decade now. Any project with a Code of Conduct is woke. The very idea of open source projects having codes of conduct originated from a troon on GitHub and was propelled by cancel culture.
The technical signature of wokeness has been evident in open source for even longer. Wokeness hates anything old (because that means it was made by White men), which is why they love to replace perfectly good software with new, usually inferior, and always radical, alternatives. The most visible examples of this are Wayland replacing X, and Systemd replacing init, but it's absolutely pervasive, so you also see it manifest in minor ways, such as the "ip" program replacing numerous network tools like "ifconfig" and "route", pkexec (which had an exploit last year) replacing su, the army of RIIR fags who have even infiltrated the Linux kernel, and the list goes on and on.
The SSH exploit is part of this technical signature too. An XZ backdoor was only a factor for SSH because of distros patching Systemd support into it.
Is there any way to strip this shit from Linux, or is there a distro that doesn't buy into this bullshit?
Fork the kernel before it had the Code of Conduct but the problem is, contributors will only ever contribute code to the mainline kernel plus you're going back years, would lose compatibility with modern day devices and programs. BSD has this ideology infecting it too.
TempleOS is fast becoming the only OS without this ideology infecting it.
Not if they're all banned. Accuse them of using the wrong pronouns or saying nigger. They treat any denial of an accusation as proof of guilt.
Then welcome them to contribute to the fork, which doesn't have to be from before the code of conduct. You can fork the latest kernel and remove the CoC. It's not a license. Take the Rust bits and RIIC.
Devuan exists specifically because a bunch of people were mad that Debian forced Systemd adoption. But they recently decided it was too hard to resist usrmerge.
I'm not sure about the politics, but there are systemd-free distros like Void and a couple forks like Devuan and Artix. They would still use the same kernel though, not sure if there is any way around that.
The BSDs (Free, Open, Net) are starting to become the option for trimmed down Unix-like systems.
You can also go with deeply embedded Linux systems like buildroot, but you will have to really know what you're doing to get something usable.
Always was. Torvalds is a massive virtue signaling prick.
No wonder no one found the backdoor in zx that infected every debian-based distro. Too busy banging the drum for DIE.
I mean open source has been under attack by the infestations for a while, it' sort of the cause of why the nigger licenses were created, haha
Still sad to see another project getting consumed.
It is known that ideologues have been infecting FOSS for a while.
This appears to be an escalation in the form of a power grab to purify FOSS.
What issues did Godot have?
Thank you. I saw the 'Code of Conduct' on their site and was worried that the developers could shut down projects they didn't like.
The entire point of FOSS is being undermined by these faggots.
Any organization that isn't explicitly based will eventually become cucked.
Unless you actively keep out faggots and women they will continue to agitate until their gay commie conspirators are put into positions of power.
You have to just hit communists over the head with a big stick over and over to stop this or it won't ever stop.
Remember, allowing leftists into anything means it'll collapse eventually
Everything woke, turns to shit.
Radical leftists want us dead from starvation. There is no other explanation. They never suggest what to do with the people they disagree with, they just banish them from everything.
Starvation has always been a weapon that communists unleashed upon their victims, yes.
It pains me to say it but open source is absolutely infested with insane people. Has been for decades. Take the normal mental instability of programmers (not insignificant) and add in even more iconoclasm, misfittery and the occasional dash of communism. Plus busy-body jannys, plus people who want to be in the software industry but it's literally impossible for them to find a job because they are mental.
How does anything get done? Simple, there's a pareto principle core of dudes at the heart of every project who do 1000x as much actual programming as anyone else and eventually they say something problematic and get ejected.
We used to have meritocracy where code stood on its own merit and was accepted or rejected. Now those who do the coding (likely to be neuroatypical, low social status and high in intelligence) are labelled problematic and therefore should be excommunicated from FOSS. Subsequently those who are replacing them work on ideology where contributions are based on how oppressed you are and little to no actual coding gets done.
Forking code now appears to not be an option either as they've cottoned on to that prospect to avoid their Internet policing and purity testing. In the same way that a hobby gets co-opted and people move elsewhere, their opponents follow.
Gatekeep or be gatekept.
I have to wonder how many of these jannies are just big tech moles and glowies sent to undermine FOSS from within.
We don't want a software equivalent of Boeing but that's where I fear we are heading if they succeed. Might not be as deadly as a Boeing mistake but I'd rather not run the risk of having my data wiped because of a need to fulfil diversity quotas in contributors meant someone who didn't know what they were doing put in a critical bug (it's already happened in the Steam Linux client).
"What can men do against such reckless faggotry?"
They thought of people forking code and have safeguards to ensure people can't work around their purity tests and policing. I think eventually we'll see licences implemented on code that will ban use or contributions to it on "ethical" grounds.
