all of this is true with literally any company.

One thing to learn on the internet is to never ever go into the comments section

FTFY

I’ve always said CoCs are often just a false flag used to handwave dictatorship behavior away while hiding behind colorful interpretations of subjective terminology.

full of reactionaries shitting on Linux for having a CoC and enforcing it.

Because they don’t enforce it for Linus. Yea he “took a break” and went to therapy etc. (before the CoC was introduced IIRC), but he still routinely abuses people publicly with no remorse or empathy, and continues to do it for decades now. As another commenter said of the CoC and Linus’s continued current behavior today, “Of the 10 bullet points there he violates 6 of them.”

And I don’t agree with the people who claim “he has to be that way because blah blah and Linux wouldn’t be what it is today etc.”, I still think it’s entirely possible to be a whole lot nicer while also being firm when necessary and still achieve the same end result.

Of course people are upset over double standards.

real linux-libre distros do not offer microcode packages because they are non-free

I would argue they’re not safe to use because they block security updates like CPU microcode in the name of absolute freedom.

Yes which is why other countries were notified first so they didn’t retaliate automatically. A lot more discussion goes on behind closed doors than most people realize.

If the people pirating weren’t going to buy the product in the first place, are they even hurting anyone?

There’s no shortage of reasons to not like Linus.

IIRC They were also trying to get kernel devs to let official structure definitions live in Rust instead of C, and got upset when they didn’t want to do that.

This would be caught by ASan and other tools though, which should be part of any review.

I’m doing that. I know several others who have as well.

Be that as it may, I personally wouldn’t consider someone to be a very knowledgeable (on how games actually work) game developer if they didn’t at least know how to use things like linear algebra to make a character run and jump naturally and such, even if they’re not coding like that day to day and just using a higher level framework.

You don’t have to agree with me, and I still respect your opinion either way.

Depends entirely on your definition of “gamedev”, IMO. If you’re trying to write a platformer in basic C with no external libraries, you will absolutely need to use algebra/geometry/etc. and maybe even some more advanced things like physics/calculus depending on what features/effects you want to put in your game.

The problem is not everyone agrees on what exactly “editorialized” and “credible” means. You’re making the same arguments they would make against you.

I think you could argue the same point with C++

To be fair, it’s entirely possible to make the same and very similar mistakes in Rust, too.

I think that entire comment is actually incorrect. My understanding is that they did not “remove” any maintainers, but actually rejected patches from Russian citizens (because of their employer), and also removed some Russian names from the maintainers list who already have code in the kernel.
