BSDs. I like OpenBSD, for all his shortcomings Theo de Raadt is a smart and talented developer.
Logan Diaz
So what?
Carson White
Niggers
Owen Garcia
I used BSD's for a while, the system is very attractive but the lack of drivers and Theo's pettiness really ruins it for me
Juan Walker
This post is hate speech.
Wyatt Torres
So? Either they're good devs and contribute to the cause, or they aren't, in which case they have zero impact at all. I fail to see how this would have any impact on you.

That's because we hate niggers.

Good. Supporting free software should the world's number one imperative. Not including myself, of course.
Bentley Gutierrez
That's not funny.
Jayden Richardson
wtf is "systemic"? when did this word get invented?
Nathaniel Davis
I laughed, loosen up user
Lincoln Turner
I'm not trying to be funny. I would be glad to never see another nigger.

This post is hate speech.
Jose Johnson
They are explicitly looking for women, people of color, people from other races like asians, Indians and possibly non-heterosexuals.
Yes, you guessed correctly: they are sexist, racist and... (do we have a word for those who make a big deal about someone's sexuality?).
Levi Reed
Hate speech is not funny. Stop.
Christian Flores
That's because we hate niggers.
Jaxon Gomez
Stop posting.
Parker Hill
stop trying to silence your opposition, sick brownshirt shithead
I am actually turkish and you telling me to stop talking / doing what I want is racist and you should learn to be more tolerant user
Gabriel Stewart
Ambassador Emir to the rescue!
Jaxon Diaz
There goes all my respect for them.
Leo Roberts
The girl who wants this.. Isn't even a programmer? Why do people fucking do this? This is a technology board, take your nigger loving ass somewhere else.
Ayden Johnson
Fuck. And here I thought RMS would stand his ground, as examplified when he kicked out the libreboot dramaqueens.
What are the remaining icons of technology you can name still respecting the ancient computer geek rules of merit-above-all?
Linus, but who else?
Matthew Stewart
Sounds like sexual frustration or an attempt to make oneself feel morally superior to others.
Hunter Hill

Tolerate it like the diversity! Or you are part of the problem! Behead those who do not tolerate everything!

She recently got a CS degree according to her linkedin, so she has enough domain knowledge to do the job. Aside from that, she's a program manager, which isn't a technical role. This is fussing over nothing.
I think I've actually met this bitch at KDE Akademy in Brno. She definitely can't code, but her position otherwise seemed legit.
IIRC "inclusivity" in legit context mostly means getting sponsors to pay for plane tickets & get hotel rooms for poorfags and such, basically the decent kind of AA where the playing field is only leveled, but not the "remove triggering master/slave from glibc" or diversity quota sort of thing (that was the libreboot tranny who exploited FSF as a personal tumblr blog).
Luis Collins
This is what I'm about to send him
Joshua Torres
this is bullshit, the only bar to entry to contributing to or starting your own free project is ability and interest. and if you have the interest, you'll acquire the ability.
Charles Mitchell
Well said.
Parker Lopez
Heterophobic?
Lucas Jackson
Sounds pretty well worded. Maybe try to work on some clarity when it comes to geek feminism, the sentence is a bit meandering to read, though I can't really think of how to put it shorter.
Charles Lewis
The FOSS community is progressive and forward thinking. Diversity and inclusion is part of a better future. Pls. confine you're racism frog posting to you're containment board. Fucking deplorables.
"Currently, internships are open internationally to women (cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people. Additionally, they are open to residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. We are planning to expand the program to more participants from underrepresented backgrounds in the future."
Clearly this would not help everyone and anyone get into a movement like the FSF or others, It only assists those a deemed "oppressed" despite those individuals having the same rights/opportunities as anyone else. Which is clear discrimination against anyone not in that list of groups.
Angel Wood
What kind of retard quotes like that?
Nathaniel King
You've obviously never taken a look at stallman.org's political notes section.
>December 2015 round, the program opened to people of color from groups underrepresented in technology in the United States, in addition to being open to women (cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people internationally.
"Does it mean because I happen to be eastern european white hetero cis male living in debilitating poverty, will I be excluded from the outreach program because I'm not black, woman or LBGT? And if so, what is the reasoning behind calling this program 'inclusive of disadvantaged groups'".
Easton Smith
Just need to move some of the quotes around
Changed to
As for the final bit on the page: "Adopt a code of conduct for your free software project's community, and enforce it. Geek Feminism offers a useful anti-harassment guide for technical communities."
These types of policies seem to assume guilt, and attempt to put in place rules for interaction and speech that only exist to protect a person's ideals or feelings, when feelings and ideals need to be challenged for progress to occur. It is simply unnecessary as the only such policy that need exist is already within most individuals being something to the effect of "Don't be a dick".
Gabriel Allen
Yeah it's an email. Cluttering it with commas and verbosity is fucking annoying.
Daniel Stewart
I did, I'm oldschool commie like him. He used to cover his ass from all sides, similiar to Zizek.
Which is why his sudden change in stance from "social justice for all" to "social justice for arbitrary subset of disadvantaged groups" so baffling.
get out of here shit lord this is a safe space where feelings come before logic.
Ryan Peterson
you forgot to sign your name and include your contact info
Zachary Cox
That's already in my e-mail address, I've had a number of interactions with RMS before, I'm sure he somewhat recognizes me by now
the last thing I sent him was a few articles when NVIDIA added telemetry to their drivers
Bentley Morris
calling me a shitlord when you're the one plowing the local YMCA
why don't you go join the women's march with your slacktivist faggotry.
if you care about something and have any balls, start a fire or stfu.
Jaxon Carter
Fair enough, your version does not need to descent into a car analogy.
I think it conveys the message of this thread across pretty accurately. gj user.
Levi Walker
i'm sure he never bothered to read anything you sent.
Joseph Myers
Having seen this first hand in startups, it makes me sad as he'll to think FSF is going through same way.
I'm still liberal, but we can help those communities more with a great free as in freedom product than we can lowering standards and placating people who think they deserve praise for being darker than the average contributor.
Landon Johnson
I don't think you understand, RMS reads everything sent to him
Isaiah Sanchez
Why can't I just get free software. I don't want any of this commie bullshit.
Christian Kelly
...
Christian Lewis
Good news. Free software would be worthless if it stayed stuck in the past.
Ayden Wilson
Watching this thread for the reply. Gj user
Jaxson Wood
So what? Diversity is a trait of community. I see nothing wrong here if what the FSF is focusing on is community, because free software is all about community.
Logan Gutierrez
Because getting more people involved in Free Software is bad.
Uh huh.
Take your shit back to Sup Forums and never come back.
Because you clearly don't fit in here.
Chase Reed
Follow-up
It's like a mental illness among the Sup Forums crowd that encouraging one group means discouraging others, when nobody said anything at all about discouraging "white hetero male cisgenders."
It's probably that instead of being "discriminated against" you're an asshole and nobody wants to deal with your drama.
Hunter Cox
Looks like the Jews finally found a way to destroy FOSS.
Bentley Perez
Give one instance in which forced diversity has NOT been detrimental to a company.
Andrew Harris
It says plainly exactly who is allowed into the program
Currently, internships are open internationally to women (cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people. Additionally, they are open to residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. We are planning to expand the program to more participants from underrepresented backgrounds in the future.
Jack Carter
>Latin@
Fucking disgusting.
Jason Brown
Yahoo is currently getting fucked for trying to force diversity
I've seen Latin@ and Latinx before. These goddamn feminists are raping the Spanish language harder than any Puerto Rican or Dominican ever did.
Blake Richardson
I can't believe it, what happened to you Sup Forums?
the only people who don't hate niggers are those who have never had to deal with them
and yes, I have actually been assaulted in the past. guess what race they were?
Nolan Perez
>I'm still liberal kill yourself
Jordan Powell
I was wondering what that poster said. I got to that thread too late. We really need a purge of SJW mods. It's one thing to ban someone for spamming "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER" all over it's another to censor their opinion because you've been indoctrinated by Jews to love primitive, violent apes.
Dominic Evans
phone posting redditor niggers flooded in. CTR targeting Sup Forums also didn't help.
Chase Walker
This post is hate speech.
Thomas Hernandez
Fuck off back to your containment board
Parker Adams
homophobic?
almost
Leo Anderson
>They are explicitly looking for women, people of color,
The main point he is making is that they are looking for these people regardless of their skill and at the detriment of others.
Julian Cooper
trying to help underrepresented people is now racist, sexist.. How the fuck do you come to that conclusion? And I don't necessarily agree with this shit, I mean they're not really underrepresented if they're a minority. But your comment is just retarded
Lucas Johnson
>how the fuck do you come to that conclusion?
you've said it yourself >they're not really underrepresented if they're a minority
you can't expect to have half the building you work in be undesirables if there are only so many of them in the general population
Caleb Miller
Stallman is a red commie Atheist so what did you expect?
They shouldn't be actively trying to help minorities. There are standards and expectations and if a person meets those standards, they should get the job. No company should be looking specifically for a DeShawn Jackson or a Malala bint al-Qunbula just to meet quotas.
Andrew Harris
>I can't believe it, what happened to you Sup Forums?
The election put it on the radar, we're being shilled. And some true believers useful idiots probably do it for free. Entryism, the oldest leftist trick in the book. The traditional media has declining influence, infiltrating online communities is the 1st priority for psyops now.
Ethan Carter
>gov't isn't responsible for that >companies aren't responsible for that >NGOs and NFPs aren't responsible for that >no, we don't believe the poor should get fucked, that's just gommie propaganda

So sick of Sup Forums shilling their anti-SJW memes on Sup Forums constantly
Fuck off, we get it, you don't like diversity initiatives.
Caleb Cooper
Waste of trips.
Camden Rogers
>le epic trips! praise kek!!!! Fuck off to Sup Forums or whatever reddit shithole you came from
Connor James
What organization do you work for? Where can I apply to the job?
Do they at least pay 7.25?
Joseph Kelly

I'm not PC, I'm just sick of Sup Forums invading Sup Forums with these shitty threads trying to "redpill"
Now fuck off back to your containment board
Brayden Martinez
something about the shape of her nose bothers me
Eli Young
This has nothing to do with being left or right-wing. This is about being a decent human being, i. e., not racist. The right isn't about racism. You can be conservative without attacking blacks gratuitously by calling them the n-word. I don't know why you guys do that, it's not even funny.
