Quoting: TheRiddickIs the video sped up? seems like things are happening quite fast.

Indeed seems that way, at least partly.
Might of course just be some problem in the video editing.

Just accept people as they are. Being different than you doesn't mean they need to be locked up and shock-treated until they become like everyone else. Humans are not bee drones.

The problem with such a display of obvious transphobia and hate-speech: you only give SJWs more ammunition.
And maybe worse, you undermine the validity of the concerns about CoCs like that by being a total ass.
In a way, you are doing exactly what most SJWs do, just from the other side.

Quoting: scaineAnd people should have the opportunity to address despicable behaviour in those contributing to the kernel.

Ah, but who gets to determine what is despicable, an entirely subjective word?
At the moment, it might be just things that "make sense", no homophobic/racist/sexist/etc. shit. From there, it is just a very, VERY small step to arbitrary additions.
Oh, so you vote Republicans? Interesting... Ah, you say you didn't participate on that demo against firing this black woman from her post? That's not good. What, really, you were not willing to give your spare kidney to this man you don't know? How despicable. You called someone an idiot because he did something easy wrong five times in a row? You are too mean.

You can go on with this endlessly, and you are naive if you think that this is not the first step in a very wrong direction. Oh, I called you naive (because I think you are) - you can already get banned on a few forums for words like these.
Thought police, here we come.

So Sharp is stirring up controversy over Tso and here you are stirring up controversy over Sharp.

No, Sharp is very obviously trying to get someone fired/removed from a team. For disagreeing with the "correct" view. Which group or movement if famous for this behavior again?

Quoting: scaineEVERYTHING is political.

I'm sorry but that is an insidious falsehood. It's entirely possible to live and do things, be kind to others in particular, without political thought.

Wrong. Even by not being political, you support a status quo, which is a political act in itself, by intention or not (intention is irrelevant, only action counts).

Quoting: scaine"SJW people are like cancer". You think that people who want inclusiveness and respect... are like cancer. I can't respond to that.

If only that really was what SJW were actually about, most people wouldn't mind. As many political movements, it may have started out "pure" and with good intentions, and a few good-hearted souls might still believe in that.
But by now it has turned into this blindly frothing lynch mob trying to get everyone fired/doxxed/banned for disagreeing with their views.
And don't get me started on sexism/homophobic/transphobic/racism/etc. cards which can be played at will and always call the crusade right to someone's door, no matter how far fetched.

Just look at the whole absurd Jessica Price thing or the "debate" about not including black/queer/etc. people in a historical depiction of 13th century rural Czech Republic... that is what SJWs are to me, overzealous.

Quoting: einherjarI fully understand him. The CoC is made by the person saying that:

I can’t wait for the mass exodus from Linux now that it’s been infiltrated by SJWs. Hahahah

after the CoC was taken to the Linux kernel.

Source [External Link]

Sure, this is a violation of the CoC (welcoming language). But doesn`t matter, it was one of the good(TM) people. And perhaps she/it/*? will never contribute code to linux kernel. So it`s ok?
I think these SJW people are like cancer. They don't behave like people, who want to make the world a better place. I have the feeling, its more like STASI.
Be welcoming to everyone sounds good. But it seems to mean, "for everyone the SJWs don`t dislike"... and the CoC is the ammo they need against people they dislike.

Very sad

This unfortunately sounds rather true.
The author of the whole thing is also against meritocracy, which has been the driving force behind a lot of development and is simply a well working system within and outside of open-source development.

This sums it up rather nicely:
https://itsfoss.com/linux-code-of-conduct/ [External Link]

As nice as this code of conduct sounds at first, it can and I am certain it will be used against contributors due to how incredibly vague it is.
This is definitely a blow to every open-source project it is applied to, I just hope it won't turn out to be too much of a blow.

On the other hand, it is true that much of the linux community hasn't exactly been known to be the most welcoming environment. This CoC is supposed to change that, but I have my doubts.

He's probably just afraid of being caught spouting some homophobic nonsense or who knows what and being forced out... though I have no idea what he could actually be forced out of. Open-source development? What?

Does anyone know of a list (you know, like the Steam Play compatibility [External Link] list or WineDB) of games for PS3 and how well they run on the emulator?

But... but... but... my toxicity :(
It is often so amusing to browse Steam forums and see the frothing masses at work.

Zombasite was a bit too rough around the edges for me to enjoy, but it looks like this game be just right.
Certainly wishlisted, but I'm not in the habit of playing Early Access games...
