I didn’t include the social media “brigading” portion because Linus already addressed that in a different sub-thread.

I don’t know if there’s any precedence for this, but I could see a court asking to see the git commit log if things went that far.
I always advocate for FOSS solutions at my work, but most of the time I get shut down with some variation of “We prefer $MSP’s solution because it gives us someone else to blame if shit hits the fan”. I hate that sentiment, but I appreciate the honesty.
My job title is “Linux System Administrator”. I’d quit if they tried to make me drop Linux.
Interesting, thanks!
Do you know what level German you are at?
I took a full-year German course in university a few years ago, and by the end of that I was probably A1. I’ve forgotten most of it since then, but I could probably relearn it within a few weeks. Every time I visit my German side of the family I try to brush up on it, but that isn’t very often.
Now it’s been 15 months learning daily and am at the B1 level. So not an expert just intermediate with more to learn.
Good for you. I feel like the hardest part of German (as a non-native speaker) is regularly practicing.
Most of the country wants this. For every person who tries to overthrow the government, there are more people who will fight to keep it as it is.
Swearing?! On my internet?!
Could someone please explain this post?
I have a friend who’s really into serial killers and cults
Yeah, uhhhh, keep an eye on that guy.
I don’t remember most of the grammatically correct genders, but when I was trying to learn them I had the distinct impression that stereo-typically manly nouns were masculine and stereo-typically womanly things were feminine.
I have heard nonbinary people find neuter as being offensive because it’s infantilizing them. At least that’s how it was explained to me.
I haven’t heard anything about that but that’s really interesting. Do you know how they prefer to be addressed?
The boiled down summary is:
Christoph rejects the patch because he doesn’t want to maintain it
Christoph says no and that he “will do everything [he] can do to stop [Rust support from being added to the DMA subsystem]”
By saying that Hector is the problem, he’s implicitly saying that Christoph is not the problem. By saying that the current process works–the very same process that just prevented R4L from submitting patches to the kernel, he’s implicitly endorsing Christoph’s actions.
This is arguably subjective, but I think making masculine and feminine words neuter is the only way to counteract the inherent sexism of gendered nouns. If you make everything masculine, you’re still tacitly supporting the previous categorization of masculine nouns as correct, and vice versa for making every noun feminine.
Shouldn’t have trusted that fart.

I don’t know how German compares to French or Spanish, but in German things can be masculine, feminine, or neutral. What I do—which is partially as a protest, and partially out of laziness—is to assume every non-person noun is neutral.
It works surprisingly well in IT where basically all nouns are neutral, but I probably sound like Kevin from The Office in every other context.
Interesting! Thanks for the source.
It looks like short haul flights actually produce 12% less emissions than driving.
IANACS but I think the levels of pollution are actually similar.
Nevermind, that’s awesome. Is he looking for additional friends?
The majority of IT applicants are straight white men, so even completely unbiased hiring practices would result in mostly straight white men being hired for IT positions. You can argue about why that’s the case (societal norms, socioeconomic factors, etc), but it has nothing to do with corporations that hire based on merit.
Should that be interpreted as 1x768 bit number or 3x256 bit numbers?
