I'm thinking he is referring to Custom's obsession with being able to access phones at the border without warrants.

He does that a lot...

Thought so but it's such a ramble I couldn't really make the meaning out, seems to just go all over the place...

I think you're a fool that doesn't realize your email definitely and probably password has been leaked through a database breach. I'm not trying to be ass about it, it's just that this is like the most naive thing I've read in the past week.

Some scams intentionally spoof the email address with your own.

It's probably Google through a combination of location and device metadata.

The sine wave will never be perfect except in mathematics due to noise. Background EMI is enough to disrupt it to no longer consider it perfect. If you're talking theoretical, then sure an alternator would create a perfect sine wave but practically it will not.

Oh, wait.  Their own products don't count?

100Mbps would still be more than enough for video streaming from Plex. Either he is streaming over a crappy Wi-Fi connection or there is something with the encoder settings, in my opinion.

Do you have a source for that? Everything I've read has said that it was the Trump administration that has levied the tariffs.

I've got a laptop with a Broadwell Core M 5Y10c in it and it runs great with Linux whereas Windows 10 is so so sometimes, Ubuntu definitely runs well on older/weaker hardware.

I thought it was more because FF57 added a new extension system and that old extensions were no longer compatible, and that the work needed to update the extension wasn't worth it.

References are put on the stack just like local primitives, the object being referenced is stored on the heap.

All they do anymore is sell rebranded OPPO phones, so yeah probably.

That plea is full of shit. Officially, Linus Torvalds owns the code for Linux and any modification to it (including and perhaps especially community contributions on HIS github repository) must either be kept for yourself or released in turn under the GPL 2.0 (as per the GPL 2.0 itself). I'm pretty sure you can't claim copyright for a patch to a project you ddin't create and I'm even more sure that they can't force any of the maintainers to go and delete their copies (aka their github commit history) retroactively.
 
That aside, I find it very telling that those claiming the new CoC and its supporters are abusive and discriminatory would be so quick to resort to blackmail and ruining the party for everyone. Talk about throwing everyone under the bus for the sake of politics. In the end it's clearly just a bunch of selfish assholes looking for petty revenge on those who don't want to put up with their nonsense, and I urge anyone who doesn't fit that description to take a step back and reconsider what they're campaigning for and who they are defending.
 
From the same article we (thankfully) have a voice for sanity in our unsung hero Steve, who reminded the trigger-happy "avenger" that he sent this to a mailing list that has nothing to do with any of it and that his propositions are ludicrous to put it lightly.
 
Also... since when is "LULZ.com" a reliable source for anything? Not that it really matters in this case but jeez... their homepage tells you a lot on where their biases lie.
 
I have discussed at length why the new CoC really isn't a problem here
and it seems clear to me that it's being used as an excuse to shift the focus away from certain people's unacceptable behaviour to a politically flavoured scapegoat. Let me reiterate - some of these people are campaigning to destroy Linux over this. THEY are the ones who intend to harm the community, not the ones who adopted a new code of conduct. Any façade of legitimate concern doesn't hold water in front of this.
 
Note: I'm not saying anyone in particular (especially any member of this forum) except the author of this email is part of what I just described. I do believe those defending this are being manipulated, through no fault of their own, into harming the community. If I've been too harsh or what I wrote came off as a personal attack, I apologise; I just really like Linux and it pains me to see it has come to this.
 
---/rant (maybe)--- On to answering posts!
 
1) Maybe in the US, but there are plenty of non white computer scientists around the world even if the male to female ratio is similar and ignoring the fact that you can't really know if  someone is straight... considering Linux is a worldwide project I don't think your point is valid here.
2) On paper, absolutely - the question is whether or not some people took it upon themselves to enforce some sort of barrier through bullying or harassment. I couldn't answer that to be honest, but surely we can entertain the possibility...? Aside from that, the new CoC doesn't put in any barriers either, nor does it provide "fast lanes" for anyone.
Yeah, is there anything so incredibly wrong about putting it on paper? Does it warrant all the backlash it's gotten? I'd say obviously not, but plenty of people seem to disagree.
I invite you to read it, it's just 82 lines. There's nothing of that sort in it.
That doesn't really work if you're the only one who doesn't care. Suppose a country has racially unfair laws; should you just ignore background while the rest of the country doesn't? Would that make it fair? Or would it be better to protest, even though that protest would inevitably have to acknowledge the existance of that background?
 
I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's a little naive to think that by completely ignoring people's backgrounds discrimination would just solve itself. If EVERYONE suddenly didn't care, sure - but that's not really possible.
Have you considered that that article might have been written that way explicitly to solicit that reaction from you and make sure you take their opinion at face value?
 
CoC: *explicitly states some common sense rules of human interaction*
People who have never contributed a single line of code:
jokes aside, the CoC says nothing about white people not being allowed. That's just a straw man. At least read the damn thing before you take a side.
