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:

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 😀
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.
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”.
@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.
@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.
@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 ;)

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.

“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.
