     > To summarize what recently happened in the Python community: Someone uploaded a package named "slut". Their CoC-equivalent immediately removed it, bypassing all normal process. And then a long standing and well liked developer of many years was banned, fully (even Guido van Rossum wasn't allowed to speak with him!) for three months, for having the temerity to argue with the wrong people.

     @mangeurdenuage i think the fact their answer to "why do you need ultimate authority that bypasses the board?" is "ban :neocat_bottom:" is enough evidence the concept should be purged across all communities, but what do i know

     @mangeurdenuage I think he is brushing over the issues with Rust in the kernel, it seems to me there is blame on both sides but the Rust people are definitely asking for changes to how things have been done in the kernel forever with regard to API compatibility between releases. My conclusion at the end of it was, if you want Rust in your kernel make your own kernel using Rust from the ground up, it's a burden to force Rust requirements on a very large and old C project

     @sun I agree. I think the main reason they want to push rust in the kernel is notably to force acceptance of it.

     @mangeurdenuage some people whose opinion I trust are telling me that the author of the article is causing some of this because of a kind of style on the mailing list that unnecessarily puts people in defensive mode and isn't conducive to solving problems. I don't know but I supposed it is possible both that this person caused their own problems to get taken up with the CoC, while also being true that CoCs operating without transparency are scummy.

     @icedquinn @mangeurdenuage a fundamental problem, and one I have had to grapple with from running this site, is it's impossible to write a set of rules to cover all misbehavior but the more rules you add the more you're killing the golden goose.

     @sun @mangeurdenuage basically yes.
     
     people went along with it because most of the docs were basically just re-stating netiquette and what was already the platform rules for the most part. but there is zero reason to have cock "teams" let alone weird bypass powers where they don't answer to anyone and have dictatorial control over the boards and shit.

     @sun @mangeurdenuage the problem is controllers are great at optics and you are basically staging a huge walkout over something they've successfully mindfucked people in to believing is a good thing.
     
     they will counter-PR with the usual nazi drivel, and you'd need nontrivial resources to set up a proper fork and organize a "drop cock or walk" campaign

     @asa @sun All GPL project are by nature decentralized as it doesn't require a central authority.
     People can gladly contribute to the main linux kernel if they wish AND if they are accepted.
     If they are not then they are free as in freedom to fork and do the changes they do.
     Such is what is for example the linux-libre project.
     And it doesn't stop the main kernel people to bring back peaces made in the linux-libre fork into the main kernel. as the GPL allows sharing.

     @sun @mangeurdenuage OK, here's the Official Linux CoC ruling: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/6740fc3aabec0_5eb129497@dwillia2-xfh.jf.intel.com.notmuch/

     And they have a point about in the message they link to "Get your head examined. And get the fuck out of here with this shit." but it seems to be an entirely appropriate thing to say, or what back in the days when the Linux project cared about the very difficult task of quality in a mass of C code they frequently didn't understand the behavior of.

     The guy he's replying to is non-responsive, which might or might not be legit, but the claims both technical and hammering language seem to be legit, "Michal, if you think crashing processes is an acceptable alternative to error handling you have no business writing kernel code."

     And he's being attacked by a notorious pajeet woman SJW in her CoC role, who is not working in good faith

     Here this now banned for a full Linux development cycle guy lays out his general, long term problem with two people on the memory management team of Linux: https://lore.kernel.org/all/nu6cezr5ilc6vm65l33hrsz5tyjg5yu6n22tteqvx6fewjxqgq@biklf3aqlook/ And then about how badly this CoC member is handing things, like "a bad HR department."

     And unless he's lying through his teeth the MM team was not working in good faith. He also apologized in the email thread.... Thus the pajeet's demands for a public apology are as someone in the thread noted a humiliation ritual, exactly what we've learned to expect from people from the subcontinent.

     That said, Overstreet was (and maybe still is?) absolutely refusing to work with Team Linus/Kernel using the necessary technical processes they've developed, he just doesn't respect it one can infer. But this is not the way to address that problem, I wouldn't be surprised if this CoC committee action is also an underhanded effort to push him out of kernel development altogether.

     I'll reply in my next posting on how all this mess has revealed the Linux kernel is in DEFCON 2 and I am moving to DEFCON 1 in looking at alternates.

     @sun @mangeurdenuage As I said, "He also apologized in the email thread...."

     In more detail, he says he apologized directly and privately to the Team Memory Management guy he insulted and implicitly says that almost immediately, and then after the CoC's ban published that email. He also made at least three other apologies in the email thread before that point.

     I went through the whole thing again to confirm and correct my memory, here's the receipts including some reactions to the CoC mess:

     The original crime: https://lore.kernel.org/all/citv2v6f33hoidq75xd2spaqxf7nl5wbmmzma4wgmrwpoqidhj@k453tmq7vdrk/

     The first two apologies, and he claims Team CoC knows about Greg's behavior; implicitly we can see they don't care: https://lore.kernel.org/all/nu6cezr5ilc6vm65l33hrsz5tyjg5yu6n22tteqvx6fewjxqgq@biklf3aqlook/

     And that sealed his fate, no way a woman pajeet is going to accept being called out like that. In general, putting pajeets including women in positions of power over others—technically not in their jati and at or below them in caste, but that's very likely or for the former guaranteed with non-pajeets— results in utterly callous treatment.

     At base, no matter how much they seem to have adapted to Western culture with its claimed universal values, I'm pretty sure they just don't view these people as human or fully human. And, yes, I've experienced this first hand several times (but I know as peers moved to the US they can be OK or better).

     "I find the language used by Shuah on behalf of the Code of Conduct committee extremely patronising and passive aggressive" (and more agree in later emails) https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241121042558.GA20176@lst.de/

     Overstreet replying with how she's doing that: ""I'm not the one 'doing' this, I'm just implementing the policy that we all decided on, even though I totally wrote and advocated for that policy'" https://lore.kernel.org/all/thwbzrybt6kk3x6o5ege3h7k6vsip4j6mllxdvn6poldvdczz6@zobwlfwgxhkt/

     MM guy's side of things: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Zz7yqeI0RatH4ao5@tiehlicka/

     Overstreet's reply, with another apology: https://lore.kernel.org/all/nfui5woq5n4lc4xggsflvjqr3gmukfzo64ejxrg4o6iq6ud4ju@rctq63kb43wb/

     @sun @mangeurdenuage "tbh I understand why people don't like him."

     Turns out less than an hour ago he's still totally not getting "kernel development to put in the tree has procedures":

     https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42222749

     "Linus was completely going off there.

     "There are no instances anyone can point to where I've caused regressions in other subsystems, in the course of developing bcachefs. I have had people introduce regressions into my code without following proper channels, though."

     Linus cited here was some error he made somewhere for bigendian systems.
