  • It’s dumb to search anything when they’re responding to a direct link to the GitHub page. They had no issues finding it; they were just pointing out the original comment in the picture is no longer there, with no marker meaning there’s no “comment deleted” marker on the thread.

    I highly doubt they meant all traces of the comment have been wiped from the internet. That would be silly; given we’re looking at a screenshot of it on the internet.




  • Sure, I can make it real simple and just explain the concept.

    I don’t believe I’m responsible for stuff that happened hundreds of years before my birth; that’s a dangerous precedent to set and leads to rampant persecution of entire nations (like you inciting violence upon British people for example, and feeling like that’s an okay stance to take).

    As for current events, I believe we do have a responsibility to call out and work to correct any injustice at every juncture, and pride myself on trying to doing so. That being said; much like you haven’t magically fixed the persecution of aboriginals in Australia, or Israel’s persecution of Palestine (which Australia is complicit in too btw…) ; there is only so much we commoners can achieve.

    So instead of flinging muck at 70 million people because of their nationality, try finding common ground. Your abrasive nature serves nothing but sowing discord.

    I appreciate this will likely fall on deaf ears, and you’ll probably resort to further projecting of your own feelings of frustration, so this is the last time I attempt to appeal to your better nature; I’m not fortunate enough to be retired, so I can’t waste any more energy on attempting to help you see reason.










  • Well yeah, it’s an easy cop out to blame a country the other side of the world for your fellow countryman’s treatment of aboriginals.

    Introspection is hard; but deflecting the blame will do nothing to resolve the issue.

    Edit: Australia gained Responsible government (IE: making their own rules independent of the UK; though subject to higher laws like taxes etc) between 1855-1890… with full autonomy granted in the 1930s.

    So you lot have had around 100 years; and the treatment hasn’t budged… Let me guess; still not the Aussies fault eh?

    They do have Linux foundation Europe, which has a hq in Brussels. Afaik, all of the Europe OS projects supported by LFE are hosted in Europe also. They also claim to be independent; though I’m not sure if that means from LF entirely. Checking the job boards show roles in California and Germany however; suggesting they are the same entity. (Though I suppose that could just be collaborative?).

    The very nature of open source means someone else could just pick it up even if the entirety of LF were wiped out. (There are 5000+ collaborators on the Linux kernel git repo) But the reality is a large portion of those actively working on the kernel, are likely involved in LF in some capacity. Add the fact that LF fund multiple Open source projects, The impact of losing LF would be drastic for the future development of not just Linux, But the FOSS ecosystem as a whole.

    This isn’t the only threat to FOSS either; The fact that GitHub is owned by Microsoft is a concern imo.
