I just replaced an early 4k Sceptre because it would take 3-10 times of unplugging it from the wall before it would power on. I was told that a capacitor wasn't charging properly.
On one hand you have people trying to control the thoughts and actions of others, on the other hand you have people complaining about the people trying to control the thoughts and actions of others. Those are two entirely different things.
What if a prepubescent child is making a contribution and i know that they are male but identify as female? Should i humor and respect them until they neuter themselves and significantly increase their chances of suicide by undergoing medical treatment?
I don't care about hate speech. If twitter and facebook determine morality for you, that's fine, but that has nothing to do with me.
Yes, i am exaggerating and you make a solid argument. Ideally i would only know them by their handles, but that's not what i experience in my day to day life.
I assume that people who look between their legs and deny or want to change what they see are mentally ill. I also assume that people who get body mods to look like a vampire are mentally ill.
I have a theory that while Moore's Law was in effect, the programmers were learning in a parallel escalation that is no longer present. Instead of building their knowledge as computers got faster and added more features, newer programmers are restricted to a perception of programming that is now set in stone. Bloated libraries can kind of disprove this. Most of what we run is at least 10x the code required IMHO.
I would never tell Linus what to do. I don't care how he treats people. I care if the talent respects him enough to listen, since that's the true gauge. Linus has done this the way he wants to and it has been a very positive force for change in the software industry. Adding the CoC guidelines seems like putting extra gears in what was a working machine in hopes of improving it, but the end result isn't related to those guidelines.
Considering the current political climate, this is not a time to be picking sides. Each developer has their own views and opinions. These differing views have meshed well enough for a long time now. Directing the personal views of one side now opens the gates to the other side later. These things escalate. These things ruin good projects. These things put control in the hands of the incompetent.

Tweeting "have a nice day" a thousand times would be, too.
I'll be sure not to tweet you happy birthday, wouldn't want you getting too many then calling it harassment.
The 'just as many' part is hyperbole but otherwise it's a factual statement.
It's been re-purposed moron.

Everyone's dream of unlimited mobile internet will never happen as long as the greedy bastards are in charge.

honor their preferences about their gender identity
I for one do not welcome our mentally ill gender neutral overlords. You can identify as mayonnaise all you want, but i won't refer to you that way.

Feelings don't justify rocking the boat for something so successful.
