Yeah, I like shanley, and unironically bought a subscription to support her magazine, but she throws a hissy fit if someone dare not fall in line exactly how she wants them to. She threw a fit yesterday when the valleywag guy mentioned her and tried to claim she broke the story that Linus Torvalds is an unrepentant rear end in a top hat.

so shanley read a tweet about linus saying something linus-y and got on her soapbox about it, this counts as "breaking a story" now?

I had to actually Google what he said because there was no context to her tweet other than Linus is a dick, turns out he didn't really say anything terribly controversial

the lkml is a "safe space" for assholes. linus gets the kind of behavior he complains about because he fosters a culture of nastiness and unaccountability. his famous rants are responses to the behavior he himself promotes

The Linux community is loving cowards and assholes. You have coddled this motherfucker for years with no accountability.

Again, I don't give a gently caress about his technical contributions. Sometimes the creator of a thing becomes the thing rotting it from the inside.

And when that happens you kick the creator the gently caress out. Which Linux needs to do. Take responsibility for your community.

Linux: You don't need Linus Torvalds. Kick him the gently caress out.

How many of our open source cultures rot completely from abuse and dysfunction because hero-worshipping is more important than community?

Linus Torvalds is a loving abusive piece of poo poo, has been for YEARS. when will Linux community grow a loving spine

Bet your rear end that torvalds has PERSONALLY chased out dozens of people who coulda been y'alls next leader........

When you look at your leader and he's a smug as gently caress white dude telling everyone in your project to go get hosed and deal with his abuse

to start with there's The Tanenbaum-Torvalds Debate where he argued against common wisdom in OS design with the author of one of the most prominent textbooks in the field

there's how Linux implemented threads for many years (via loving fork!)

these are the things that make him an idiot who is nowhere near as skilled as many of his followers think he is

and then there's the way he treats people on mailing lists when they have questions or ideas or disagree with him, which is the part that makes him an rear end in a top hat

I think she raises a lot of good points and I enjoy Model View Culture and think it's important work

her anger and style go a long way towards alienating current & potential allies and people who could be persuaded to her point of view, when she uses them to attack those very people as insufficiently revolutionary. it's the sort of thing that has held back many movements, and winds up doing the counter-revolutionaries' work for them.

i've only heard of tunney in the periphery for the most part haven't given a poo poo

quote:

In 2014, Tunney petitioned the US government on We the People to hold a referendum[16] asking for support to retire all government employees with full pensions, transfer administrative authority to the technology industry, and appoint Google CEO, Eric Schmidt as CEO of America.[17] Tunney works as a software engineer at Google. The petition expired because it failed to meet We The People's signature threshold.[18]

lol is she for real or an elaborate troll?

quote:

Mr Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google, would lead a government "more prepared for change" staffed by the US technology industry, according to Ms Tunney.
"It's because I'm a Googler, I'm familiar with Eric Schmidt being very good at running a successful organisation. He was responsible for building Google, which is a benevolent corporation that's making the world a better place," she told the Telegraph.

this post sums it up well. she comes across as massively whiny and it's a huge detriment to whatever point she's trying to make

never mind that the only person in all of tech journalism who matters is joanna stern so why anyone else tries is beyond me

UPDATE: ModelViewCulture CEO Shanley Kane has asked me to describe her not as a "diversity advocate" or "diversity activist" and to instead identify her as the co-founder and CEO of a media company that is better than the one I work for. According to its website, ModelViewCulture is "an independent media platform focused on the intersection of technology, culture and diversity." So: nothing to do with advocating for diversity then. I regret the error, and have updated the post to reflect that.

i drink a gently caress ton of diet soda and diet coke tastes nothing like regular coke. it's not really that close to pepsi either. it has its own taste, which is p good, but not coke taste. coke zero is as close to regular coke as a diet soda is going to get (and it rules)

in college the only diet soda they had at the convenience store across from my dorm was diet pepsi. i drank so much of it that i can't stand it anymore. strangely this has not happened with the diet coke variants (and i don't know what i'll do if it ever does)

edit: also coke zero is not just rebranded diet coke for dudes, you're thinking of dr pepper ten. the tastes are completely different. i would bet $1000 that i can distinguish diet coke from coke zero in a double blind test

I too am a master of sodas
