Alyssa Rosenzweig, a well-known Linux developer, publishes her manifesto. "I’m on the board overseeing Linux graphics. Half of us are trans. If all you care about is Linux, resist the attacks on trans people."

They’ve already upstreamed patches and the code is good even if everyone involved are culture warriors.

She’s also pretty young

She's 35, just twinky, dude on the right is 48

While the labor pool is disproportionately filled with white men, we can find many talented hackers who cannot be described as such.

uuhh hate to break it to you Drew but this dude isn't changing that pattern, both founders of Panfrost were born white males

If we choose to be inspired by them, and led by them, we will discover new perspectives on our software, and on our movement and its broader place in the world.

I never understood this argument, what 'perspective' can they offer GPU driver development? That republicans need to be put into FEMA camps?

'Diversity of thought' via putting various identities in a room very rarely ever has any real value. Unless they are designing a consumer product that wants to target niches, but very few people are actually doing that sort of job. And even if they did there's no reason a good designer can't learn/see things from other's perspectives. They do it all the time, they are nerds designing for non-technical commoners.

Moreover, there are a lot of darned good hackers who don’t look like me, and I would be happy to follow their lead regardless of any other considerations.

The free software ecosystem (and the world at large) is not under threat from some woke agenda – a conspiracy theory which has been fabricated out of whole cloth.

we’ve got how many years until detrans ppl come out of the woodwork?

it's actually their higher use of brains

The organized TERF movement and the far-right trans eliminationist movement are one and the same.

You mean people with left leaning economics and generally socially liberal opinions, cant ever have nuanced opinions about specific subjects?

online discourse devastated by the use of 'over thinking' as a concept instead of others you disagree with being misguided in what they think about, as if amount is the problem, and there's some weird stopping point they are shooting past, its horrible

Easy to groom

Thanks to choo choos

God I hope so rust is so fetch!!

Now let's try without the wig. Hairlines don't start that close to your eyes.

Also not surprised to see he's cross-eyed

you say that but the eyes go like this ( \ _ | ) relative to the nose. there could be an angle where it isn't as prominent, but here we are...

Eep

only angle that would save him is one from God

It’s a really, really good thing that this person is apparently very smart.

for linuxcels

I have used linux since 2005 and i still dont care.

I installed GNU/Linux on an AIO in the garage because Windows didn't like sitting idle for weeks at a time.

It's just as slow, and a bigger pain in the fricking butt to install any applications for an amateur. Try to download a pdf reader but oops I don't have a darn program installer of all things available. Had to sudo apt get a package that allows me to install programs. Jesus.

Also why is there no Linux --> GNU/Linux filter?
