No wonder that Stallman doesn't want any association with them.
I'm the user who asked about the open-sores conference earlier today. Anyways, I went and while I couldn't take any pictures, it was pretty much a meme.
>go to hacktoberfest >first thing I see is 5 guys with the exact same hipster beard and macbooks with C#/JavaScript/NodeJS/GitHub stickers on them >there is one girl >ugly as fuck with sjw glasses and purple colored hair >apparently she is one of the leaders >everyone seems to know each other >everyone uses fucking windows >except one guy with a "Just do Git" tshirt who used gahnoo/loonix on a thinkpad I swear I'm not making this up >first lesson starts >the sjw purple girl starts talking about what is open sores and why we should join the open sores >lists the 4 essencial freedoms as defined by GNU project, but doesn't mention GNU project at all, or "free software" at all, just talks about open sores >manages to mumble through to the end >"any questions?" >one guy raises his hand >"what are some open sores licences we can use in our projects?" >"uuuuhhhh....well....im not an expert at this...but you have, for example theee...openGL...i think" >OPEN FUCKING GL LICENCE >the thinkpad guy jumps in and saves her from further embarrassment >conference goes on >some guy from Microshaft talks for half an hour about how MS is the biggest contributor to open-sores and how they're not the bad guys >another guy made some photoshopped movie covers like "death node" and "GIT" (with git mascot instead of the IT clown) and "Vim" (instead of Ring) >pizza arrives >the purple sjw stars talking to some guy about how she is vegan >another girl joins her saying she's vegan too >I turn over to the guy on my left >"holy shit just listen to those retards" >"im vegan too" he says and joins them in discussion >they keep talking about veganism for the rest of the break
Sorry that butt-hurt Sup Forums tards are ignoring you user.A lot of these probably hit too close to home for them. Either way it was a great green-text, have a (You).
(btw is pic related the kind of sht you had to deal with?)

Is Sup Forums officially vegan now?

me too
Benjamin James
>"holy shit just listen to those retards" >"im vegan too" he says and joins them in discussion Put me in the fucking screencap
Jason Morales
I believe this actually happened
David Brown
Interesting op. But maybe you should try and find people you associate better with by inspection rather than randomly going to useless conferences.
This is not a general open source problem in my view. But I'm not that tight with the software communism.
Charles Barnes
>first thing I see is 5 guys with the exact same hipster beard and macbooks with C#/JavaScript/NodeJS/GitHub stickers on them >everyone uses fucking windows
>I swear I'm not making this up
Christopher Wright
This is why i only write C programs now. C keeps the women out because its too complex for their little brains to understand.
Benjamin Cox
>couldn't take pics >i-i-i swear i'm not making this up
this was a terrible story, authenticity aside.
Jordan Morgan
>shit that never happened, the thread
Henry Myers
Good lord. I hope this isn't true but experience tells me it probably is.
At least these retards are using windows.
Matthew Hall
>people that have never been to university OP's story perfectly describes 95% of CS grads.
Oliver Perez
*in the USA.
Landon Edwards
I'm in the UK
Isaac Thomas
Then I guess my entire school makes up that 5% because this shit just doesn't happen.
We have monthly hackathons and everyone that shows up is super chill and dedicated to whatever project they're working on. Laptop usage is spread across the board between literally any manufacture ever, including the international students with those neat looking Japanese laptops.
Everyone knows how to (properly) use git and doesn't act like a fucking know-it-all retard about it.
Are there some genuine retards in my year? Absolutely. But they're more like
Owen Morgan
You left out the most important part!
Did they order the pizza using nonfree JavaScript?
Michael Rogers
>>I turn over to the guy on my left >>"holy shit just listen to those retards" >>"im vegan too" he says and joins them in discussion Lmaooooooooo You're lovely user
Kayden Lee
Gosh bless ya user
Luke Wright
I think it's an anglophone problem. Norway is pretty "liberal" and "progressive" and so is Sweden, but I have not seen these things in either Norwegian or Swedish universities.
I'm so sorry. Don't have those problems in >Argentina.
Ian Garcia
> I know. I understand. I thought it was just a Sup Forums meme as well, and I won't try to convince you - let me be a bullshitter this time. I wouldn't believe a story like this either, if someone told me before.
But please, for your own sake, don't go to open-source conferences. Please.
John Hall
What Uni? I plan on majoring in CS and your academic environment sounds like the right one to train my brain.
Bentley Brooks
Never seen that in Germany too. There's the fair share of neckbeards in Metal t-shirts but that's about it.
Christopher Lopez
Why would you use JavaScript to make a phone call?
Jackson Jones
Don't worry, no one believes you anyway.
Joshua Green
You made inaba-chan cry!
Hudson Gonzalez
>hackathon Thank you for a new word to filter.
Aiden Gomez
It's some rinky-dinky public school. SUNY University at Buffalo. We're notable for absolutely nothing.
Nathaniel Johnson
>A computer science major's best networking event to get a 6 digit starting salary job. >hurr filteredddd nuMale XD
Nicholas Murphy
I avoid hackathons so I wouldn't have to help some dipshit startup develop their software for free, and now I'm getting 75k starting to pen test digital electronics when I graduate. Hackthons a shit.
Luke Garcia
The people at hackathons are toxic. They will blame everything else but themselves when shit doesn't go their way (ie take it to Twitter or other social media) and will constantly feel like they need to be validated in some form or another. These people never grew up out of high school and their lives will spiral once their shitty little startup selling a niche gadget or software will be obsolete without a year or two. Misery loves company.
Go to a real industry event where adults talk about real world shit.
Don't worry, I'm not trying to convince you anyway
Andrew Torres
Yeah and I got a job offer from Bloomberg for 129k starting because I implemented a portable ZFS-like storage system on unreliable file systems at a Hackathon. Your validation a shit.
>I wouldn't have to help some dipshit startup develop their software for free
Said like someone who actually has no idea what a Hackathon is. You realize you go in with your own idea and a group? Or you could work solo like I did? You don't even need to present just wait for recruiters to ask what you're working on.
Dominic Morris
Vegans are the original archfags.
Adam Garcia
Fuck off asshole. I want to be in the screen cap, upside down. Also, hail golden dawn.
Joshua Bell
>>"im vegan too" he says and joins them in discussion >>they keep talking about veganism for the rest of the break fucking kek

Thanks for the laughs dude. >he doesn't know about the OpenGL license
Logan Jenkins
I told you to go, bump before I read the thread.
Henry Jackson
I heard Nekopara is getting an anime.
Christopher Mitchell
Fair enough, but your events sound a lot better than the ones around me. Congratulations on the job!
Logan Roberts
>openGL licence
William James
>Plz don't go to open source conferences, pls t. Macroshat employee
Anthony Hill
hoooooly shit
Charles Murphy
>>some guy from Microshaft talks for half an hour about how MS is the biggest contributor to open-sores and how they're not the bad guys
>>"uuuuhhhh....well....im not an expert at this...but you have, for example theee...openGL...i think"
clearly that MS rep is a retard too, because he thinks it's actually worth his time to "convince" these retards who will never write any software how they should feel towards Microsoft
just wow
Logan Harris
>"uuuuhhhh....well....im not an expert at this...but you have, for example theee...openGL...i think" my sides
Jose Myers
read this 3x thank you OP, you sound like a cool guy
William Green
sounds like a gommunism convention
Dylan Bell
This is what you get when you stop gatekeeping and indulge normalfags
Hunter Reyes
thats just the SJW infection thats everywhere.
if you want to avoid it, try going to events for more autistic/difficult topics. its not completely avoidable, even then you get a few sjw lunatics and quite a few people that pander to them, but its not as bad. just look at the difference between cppcon and pycon, jscon, or whatever any topic even a little related to progressive junk quickly turns into an autistic technical discussion.
Levi Johnson
i was at a stallman event and it was cringey as fuck as well
dude actually started shaving his neckbeard a bit with a pocket knife and brought hardcopy SICP with him
William Baker
sounds fun. did you get to take some beard home as a souvenir
Jayden Wright
>dude actually started shaving his neckbeard a bit with a pocket knife and brought hardcopy SICP with him OP here 10/10 would go
Having a hard copy of SICP is a sure sign of functional autism (no pun intended)
Nicholas Barnes
>openGL
Samuel Lopez
I played Doom in 1993 and this gif is so fucking satisfying, I want to hug anyone who made it.
Luis Jones
HOLY SHIT MAN I WAS THERE. I'm even mentioned in the story as: >the purple sjw stars talking to some guy about how she is vegan (I am the guy)
anyways, i agree with all your points and wanna meet you and talk about gnu and sing the free software song. if you want to, contact 'thinkpad guy'. he was kinda organisator
Caleb Richardson
normies get out reeee
Owen Jackson
Microsoft Build and Apple Developers Conference doesn't have this problem.
