Based ESR, got kick out of the OSI for too being rude

>The historian Robert Conquest once wrote: “The behavior of any bureaucratic organization can best be understood by assuming that it is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies.”

>Today I learned that the Open Source Initiative has reached that point of bureaucratization. I – OSI’s co-founder and its president for its first six years – was kicked off their lists for being too rhetorically forceful in opposing certain recent attempts to subvert OSD clauses 5 and 6.

>It shouldn’t be news to anyone that there is an effort afoot to change – I would say corrupt – the fundamental premises of the open-source culture. Instead of meritocracy and “show me the code”, we are now urged to behave so that no-one will ever feel uncomfortable.

>The effect – the intended effect – is to diminish the prestige and autonomy of people who do the work – write the code – in favor of self-appointed tone-policers. In the process, the freedom to speak necessary truths even when the manner in which they are expressed is unpleasant is being gradually strangled.

>The cost of a culture in which avoiding offense trumps the liberty to speak is that crybullies control the discourse. To our great shame, people who should know better – such as the OSI list moderators and BOD – have internalized anticipatory surrender to crybullying. They no longer even wait for the soi-disant victims to complain before wielding the ban-hammer.

>We are being social-hacked from being a culture in which freedom is the highest value to one in which it is trumped by the suppression of wrongthink and wrongspeak. Our enemies – people like Coraline Ada-Ehmke – do not even really bother to hide this objective.

That's what you get for needlessly using Windows and not even keeping it up to date.

so Firefox now has VA-API support, but only on Wayland

dabs on Xorg

Linux is just a RUNTIME

@proxeus

@anornymorse are you claiming that you don't think that socialism refers to "european style socialism"?

What else could it possibly refer to? Australian-style? That's the same. American socialism... Stuff like social security, medicare? Japanese-style, which is not different from european?

Or do you think it means some shit from 50 years ago in the soviet union? Berlin wall fell more than 30 years ago mate.

You're making a semantic argument and a bad one at that. Go be a #boomer somewhere else

@anornymorse huh?

everyone knows socialism is shorthand for "european-style socialism". I wrote it out so that you wouldn't do some stupid word game again.

Stop wasting my time
