no really graph, tell me why i'm hosed up garbage because i don't like one "tech journalist" whose only means of trying to make a point is calling every single open source contributor a piece of poo poo, all because she's mad at literally one guy who's been known to be a huge rear end in a top hat for what is probably going on two decades now. there are plenty of nice people in open source, both men and women alike. go gently caress yourself

open source contributors are subhuman hth

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.

ah yes, the only reason leftists have accomplished nothing of note in the last forty years is because they were just too rude to rich white men. if only their tone was nicer we would live in a socialist paradise by now :sweden:

I'm pretty sure what shanley was getting at was linus answering a question about why there's so little diversity in open source with a halfassed "well it's not really our job to care about that I just care about the kernel"

in fairness to linus I think he really only cares about the software. he's not an esr or rms trying to crusade on principles or something. that said, I don't think you can "throw him out" because iirc he's still a very active contributor and probably the single most knowledgable person about the kernel.

does the fact that he's an unrepentant rear end in a top hat mean that he's driving people who have some useful contributions away? maybe. i would argue though that the Linux kernel is arguably one of the only successful examples of the meritocracy in action and is a surprisingly good piece of software. if there really is a teeming mass of people with great ideas who are turned off by linus then they should fork the project and make a better one.

it's not just linus though

it's an entire community of people being dicks to each other. dishonesty and poo-flinging are both totally acceptable. a lot of linus' most epic rants have been directed at core developers (e.g. kay sievers) who in turn were being chastised for being just slightly too big an rear end in a top hat for linus' taste

i wouldn't hold my breath for a fork to be a more reasonable community, either

open source draws assholes like poo poo draws flies

a fork with better project management that actively tamped down on the sort of rampant assholery endemic to open source projects might avoid that.

I don't think that calling linus an rear end in a top hat on twitter is breaking a story. MVC is really cool and good, but the twitter "journalism" is funny poo poo. That an the fit she had when a writer asked if she could talk to friends/colleagues about her for a medium piece.

Also, why does open source attract terrible people?
