In this week's #Linux & #OpenSource News video, there's an X.org fork surrounded by some pretty weird controversies, we have Denmark beginning the switch to Linux and Open Source, and Google making changes to Android source code's release that will definitely make custom ROMs a lot harder to build:

Shout out to @DJUpNorth for giving me the wisdom to just pause a moment.
Yesterday started out amazing. Doing things for other people "as best I can" will be the legacy. The music is just extra. Then the day went straight to crap. On every level. Physically, Mentally and lets top it off with a bit of emotional jarring crap on the news.
I will discuss all this in detail through my show tonight.
But for now, I'd like to offer an apology for not being able to rock last night.

🇲🇩⚠️ Sandu reported on Russia’s attempts to destabilize the situation in Transnistria before the elections in Moldova.
“All these years, Russia has been using the residents of Transnistria and at any moment can provoke an even greater crisis if this suits its plans in Moldova. We can expect this crisis to deepen in the coming months, before the elections,” she said.
She added that Russia may try not only to bribe voters in unrecognized Transnistria, but also to blackmail the population.

in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment • • •@tlenewspodcast but really came back here just to LOL at your swipe at JK Rowling. She's just saying stuff from 15 years ago. But you're right, that's why I pirate anything Disney that mildly interests me. I made it a point to buy the Potter series hardbacks again today.
Basically though, my crassness aside, ppl don't want politics in a Linux show. Others do so very well. I haven't spoken about LePenn, haven't been in French politics so I don't know, same w/you & US.

in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment • • •thanks for calling out the "redhat banned me" BS and not just his other statements
why are your comments full of unopposed "i don't care about the guy's politics i only care about the software" though, i'm feeling disappointed with the community 🙁
Nick @ The Linux Experiment
in reply to dflxh • • •@dflxh Some parts of the Linux community are just impossible to talk to and deal with, and having to deal with that every single time is just exhausting.
Of course someone’s beliefs matter when these beliefs can harm others. Someone who thinks vaccines cause autism is a danger to kids and people in general. Their judgement is impaired, and as such, it needs to be mentioned in regards to the projects they work on. If you’re incapable of accepting reality, I don’t want to run your code…
Nick @ The Linux Experiment
in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment • • •@dflxh As an example: if you learn that a specific brand makes their shoes in horrendous conditions, using child labor, you AT LEAST want to know about it before buying or not.
For code, it’s even more important: that code will be updated on your system, and chances are you’ll never check what changed. If the person writing the code holds some beliefs based on pure fiction, then of course you at least want to know about it before running that code, because it could turn into anything…
Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁
in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment • • •who gets to decide which unrelated beliefs are acceptable and which require ostracism?
If We, the Enlightened Ones, determine that for example, since Jews pray three times a day for the ingathering of the exiles, and that belief conflicts with Our Perfect Middle Eastern Political Order, we must then, by dint of our convictions and our Infallible Opinions, ban, ostracize, condemn, and exclude all Jews from our projects.
Are you comfortable with that? Because that's where your convictions lead you.
Nick @ The Linux Experiment
in reply to Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁 • • •@bp @dflxh No, that’s where YOU decided to take that line of thought. What I’m saying is: yes we need to know about these beliefs and then make the decision on what is acceptable for us.
I draw my own lines where I want them. I decide what’s good or bad for me. You do the same. What I’m saying is: get some information about someone’s beliefs or acts so you can make an informed decision. Doesn’t mean I want to regulate other people’s beliefs.
Nick @ The Linux Experiment
in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment • • •The topic was « why are people so unwilling to know what beliefs or acts someone holds or performed, when we’re talking about code ».
My answer was : we need to know about these beliefs or acts, so we can make a decision.
I never said I get to decide what’s acceptable. Any individual or project makes that decision for themselves, and that’s why they need to know what the person creating something thinks or does 😀
Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁
in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment • • •however we both know that in practice, blacklists (of individuals, as well as belief systems) are shared in the hivemind of shrill voices who worm their way into mod privileges. We also know that facts are immaterial when it comes to that kind of mob justice.
You are, for all intents and purposes, arguing to give veto power over foss infra to those kinds of political activists who say the right words, in the right way, to the right ears.
Given the history of your continent, I find that idea excessively repelling.
Nick @ The Linux Experiment
in reply to Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁 • • •No, again. YOU infer that this is what I want. It’s not.
You make a semi-logical jump I never made, along the lines of « oh but this COULD lead to X or Y ».
It’s a conjecture at best, and not at all what I’m saying or “arguing for”.
Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁
in reply to Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁 • • •Nick @ The Linux Experiment
in reply to Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁 • • •@bp No one is talking about purity tests. Again, you’re blowing my words way out of what they cover.
I’m talking about informing. What projects, people and communities do with that is up to them. If the will of a projects governance is to block certain people, they’ll do so, and users will then use that information to take their own decisions. The very definition of the “free market” some people seem to advocate for.
Nick @ The Linux Experiment
in reply to Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁 • • •@bp @dflxh As per the “shrill voices” and “worming their way” turns of phrases, I find them extremely dismissive and repellent.
Lumping everyone you disagree with as a manipulative type of person who cheated their way into a project is disturbing way of thinking, and of very bad faith and taste. It’s also kind of what you’re accusing these people of doing, which is hypocritical.
Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁
in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment • • •Nick @ The Linux Experiment
in reply to Benny Powers 🇮🇱🦁 • • •@bp @dflxh Sure, cause no one would ever really believe that equality and inclusivity is a good thing. That respecting others is intelligent. We’re all just faking it to avoid being crucified publicly by a minority of people who somehow managed to impose themselves onto the silent 99% of the population.
Surely that’s the most logical explanation 😂
When one just can’t accept reality and is so entrenched in their delusions, the only thing to do is to say “have a nice day”. So Have a Nice Day ;)
