If you really want to help her, take her to the nearest planned parenthood. Get her some condoms and information about her other contraceptive options.

The fact is, she's going to see her boyfriend no matter what y'alls parents say. Sooner or later, she'll find a way. So, just make sure that when she does, she's got everything she needs to make sure that she can avoid an unwanted pregancy.

This is the childish actions of a whiny technofascists that's gotten himself banned for cause. Note the open bigotry right in the README. For some odd reason he feels the need to make an anti-DEI statement. Treat it like the far-right dog whistle it is.

Wait, why does George takei attract magas?

Its because he's their most prominent gay, non-white opponent. They don't like it when he reminds them he actually experienced American concentration camps before they were moved to El Salvador.

Kissinger died in 2023.

Feel free to go back and read the thread for yourself. It's all right there.

Funny how you call me a gatekeeper, but can't explain what I've prevented you from doing. You claim that outside critique is Super Important, but then can't figure out why anyone should care about your critiques. And now you claim I'm lying about something that the text is all right there to read, and somehow I'm incorrect because reasons that you can't articulate.

Are you sure you're okay?

Thanks for admitting that you don't actually care about the software. This was never about the software. This was only about your desire to control the actions of other people. Your previous comment already showed that when you chose to highlight my lack of interest in your opinion and not anything that actually matters.

You might want to consider spending less time on social media.

Correct. There are actual efforts going on to resolve those issues. Which begs the question, why post vague exhortations for people to "do something" about this, rather than focusing the efforts in places where it will make a difference?

This isn't a post saying "hey, come to this project and pitch in." This post is just bitching into the ether and then some folks getting butthurt when the pointless performative nonsense is called out for what it is.

Posts like this one happen on a near-daily basis all across FOSS mailing lists. It's trivial to find numerous, often young, often inexperienced people who think their idea is the one that "fixes everything". These people reason that everyone should fall over one another to put effort into their magical idea once they see the obviousness and correctness of the idea. Clearly, it's simply incorrect to find fault in an obviously perfect idea such as this one.

It's just so weird that literally none of the people with these amazing ideas are the ones doing a "git init" and getting started on the work of actually implementing their amazing ideas. Bizarre how so many spectacular, world-changing ideas need to be worked on by literally anyone BUT their champion. What a horrible world we must live in filled with nasty, evil people who simply won't volunteer their personal time when we should feel so blessed with this holy relic of an idea.

This narrative is so childish that the only response it deserves is the one echoed by nearly the entire FOSS community, "Patches welcome!"

It's always interesting to see how people react to being told to put in their own effort instead of demanding the effort of others.

You have access to the code bases. You have access to the contributing rules. You can submit your patches to the same repos everyone else puts their code in. What exactly is being denied to you?

Nobody is gatekeeping. One of us is asserting that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

The features being requested do not come for free. Someone has to sink the time into doing the work.

So, in an argument between people doing the work and people insisting someone else do the work for them, but it must be to the specifications of the armchair quarterbacks... well... I've got bad news about the things the non-paying non-coders want.

You can either pay money or pay time, but nobody cares about the freeloaders demanding things without offering any kind of compensation.

ROFL. Kiddo, I've been contributing to OSS for over two decades. The day I start caring about what non-contributors think is the day I stop writing code. Either show up with patches or STFU.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 month ago (25 children)

Oh look. Yet another post demanding things from a volunteer-based community without actually volunteering their own time to work on solving the problem they're insisting needs solving.

I'm sure these demands will totally make a difference in ways that putting their time into actually writing code wouldn't.

This sounds a lot like my own lived experiences. Try to remember that this current situation is temporary. It will pass. Its not permanent.
