schestowitzNice to see some "class" from Zemlin on the topic of community behaviour.Jul 08 13:27
schestowitzNow all we need is some focus on why various member companies of the Linux Foundation seem to routinely violate the licensing of the work featured in the foundation's own name, and why an organisation supposedly acting in the interests of that work does little or nothing obvious in public about it.Jul 08 13:28

schestowitzYeah, he dodged the question really well.Jul 08 13:28
schestowitzI find it frustrating that the zealots who managed to derail the conversation about the LF getting rid of community representation into a gender-based discussion essentially gave Jim a great way of 'addressing' the situation without saying anything material on the matter. How it is even remotely relevant whether a lawyer who's part of a lawsuit against one of the members of the Linux Foundation AND is potentially running for the Jul 08 13:28
schestowitzboard has a dick or not escapes me entirely but Jim obviously jumped on the opportunity it gave him to talk about what would otherwise have been an important topic. I wasn't even aware of this part of the conversation until he brought it up (and I'd rather continued to be oblivious of it, I'm ashamed enough as it is for my community's (foss') behavior towards minorities).Jul 08 13:28

schestowitzThe citation of a blog post by that man provides enough evidence that pheldens is not really worth listening to. (And said blog post provides, as usual, evidence of stunning levels of ignorance regarding the LF, the influence Linus has over it, Linus's stated position on women's rights, and oh hell everything else ever. But that's not surprising: the poster's principal domain of knowledge is in the fine art of being horrible to Jul 08 13:28

schestowitzYes, except that he's approvingly citing a blog post by someone who believes that women should be denied the vote, who advocates the extermination of the populations of entire continents (seriously!)... this provides evidence that either the OP has done astonishingly little research (reading the comments on that post or looking at any surrounding posts would suffice) or that he thinks positions such as Theodore Beale holds to be Jul 08 13:28

schestowitzYou're still using a fallacy. A couple of them, even.Jul 08 13:28
schestowitzOther beliefs held don't show anything about the particular subject being discussed. Someone can be wrong about ten things but still right about five others.Jul 08 13:28
schestowitzThe other fallacy is that because you don't like the results of a particular argument that the logic is wrong. For example "women should be denied the vote" is probably (I haven't read his argument) the result of some facts and logic. Just saying that you don't like the end-result of his argument doesn't invalidate it. You'd have to actually find the flaw in it.Jul 08 13:29
schestowitzAnd not related to fallacies, I often find that arguments with crazy results are what happens when someone very smart and clever is messing around with you, such as the quite logical sounding "proof" that 1+1=3, for large enough values of 1.Jul 08 13:29

schestowitzHonestly, a five second google would show you the blog posts in which "Vox Day" endeavours to show why women should be denied the vote (I don't recommend reading them, they leave a foul taste in your mouth). His argument is not based on logical reasoning or facts of any sort (no, I'm not linking to the guy, nor am I reiterating his "arguments", they're too unpleasant to type in and I don't want to inflict them on anyone else here). Jul 08 13:29
schestowitzHis extreme racism and eliminationism seems unlikely to be based on logic either, but frankly I couldn't get into reading those without hearing my ancestors metaphorically screaming at me so I had to stop.Jul 08 13:29
schestowitzThis is not someone who thrives on rational argumentation. His blog is, alas, publically visible, so you're welcome to confirm that by reading it. I don't plan to, not any more.Jul 08 13:29
schestowitz(And the expressed opinions of and beliefs held by an individual *do* very much show the likelihood of correctness of further opinions and beliefs. The single largest predictor that a person will believe in any given conspiracy theory is whether they believe in other conspiracy theories. This is even true for mutually contradictory ones, such as that Elvis was killed by the CIA and that Elvis is still alive. Vox Day's expressed Jul 08 13:29
schestowitzopinions and beliefs are repugnant and based on fear, hatred, and a desire for self-aggrandizement[1]: that strongly suggests that any statement he makes should be considered wrong or at the very least self-serving unless multiply confirmed by other sources.)Jul 08 13:29
schestowitz[1] honestly, this is someone who set up a slate for the Hugo Awards nominations last year and put *himself* on it multiple times, and filled up the remaining slots with people published by his tiny publishing house. "Shameless" doesn't even *begin* to cover it.Jul 08 13:29

schestowitz    Show me the code should be the only criteria.Jul 08 13:29
schestowitzI don't think anyone disagrees that code incorporated into the Linux kernel (or other important open-source software product) should meet certain quality standards.Jul 08 13:29
schestowitzHowever, people who can actually code to those standards don't tend to fall fully-formed out of the sky. There are loads of work to be done, and there is a huge untapped reservoir of people who are, in principle, willing to contribute but can't be bothered, for reasons like the toxic atmosphere they're likely to encounter in case their contributions might be found sub-standard (whether they actually are or not). With appropriate Jul 08 13:29

schestowitzThere are people like Karen Sandler who are part of the effort to establish and promote initiatives that provide such training and mentoring to various groups of folks. This effort should be commended. Defaming such people as “SJWs” doesn't help anyone except the egos of those doing the defamation.Jul 08 13:29

schestowitz    In late 2007, Google's chief technologist Michael T. Jones took questions at a UN press conference with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and UN Development Program chief Kemal Dervis promoting Google's involvement in mapping the UN's anti-poverty Millennium Development Goals. Inner City Press, accredited media at the UN, asked Mr. Jones if Google was a member of the UN Global Compact, through which corporations sign up to Jul 08 23:05

schestowitz            Google's Jones at first delayed answering the questions, noting that Google was the third of Inner City Press' three questions -- the first two were to the UN Development Program's Kemal Dervis about the absence of North Korea from the data base, the second to Cisco about censorship. Then, on camera, Jones said he did not know of Google was a member of the UN Global Compact, that he would reply later. Video here, from Jul 08 23:05

It now appears that after getting a taste of censorship in China -- and in Egypt, by some accounts -- Google has in this case brought the practice home to the United States."Jul 08 23:06

schestowitzI agree. I think we're only grateful for good uptime at the moment, but lots of updating is to be done. For TLS kaniini plans to move the site into 3 containers (one for each CMS), then throw TLS in front of it at a higher level, fronting for the containers.Jul 08 23:21
schestowitzsudoers is a pain, but let's wait until something breaks as fixing it requires taking the whole HV down anyway and we can use that as a chance to apply s/w updates at the HM. Jul 08 23:21
