On a basic level, I'm fine enough with you choosing to do this for this specific community, but is it really necessary? Have people actually been doing that here in this community specifically? If not, it's a pretty pointless rule honestly, especially if you're only making it because you disagreed with people talking about weed in a separate channel

Like, I don't think the rule's a bad idea considering China's history with drugs, but you should make sure you're doing this for the right reasons rather than out of some grudge or something

I read your whole comment, but to be honest, I'm not really sure where to begin with this, because it doesn't seem like you actually understand the situation and are making weird assumptions based on that misunderstanding

Hyprland isn’t the only window manager, there are others, it’s not like it is an essential part of Linux everyone must use.

I am really hoping you simply haven't read into the context of this, because in case you're not aware, this is not about hyprland the software at all or people contributing to it, this is about its main developer contributing to freedesktop.org projects such as wlroots (a Wayland compositor framework used by multiple projects including hyprland)

enforcing basic code of conduct rules

That they wrote themselves and want to apply everywhere. Obviously I’m not for insulting people because of sexual preferences, ethnicity, etc. but we don’t need liberals with a “Code of Conduct” to “protect” people. If a person doesn’t like a community, they don’t have to join it.

As I mentioned, this isn't about other people joining hyprland, it's about freedesktop.org, one of the most important organizations in the Linux ecosystem because it's responsible for many foundational components. Codes of Conduct (along with enforcement of those) are an essential safety tool in these kinds of community, as you simply can't tolerate Nazis and their ilk in a community like this without them forcing out all of the people who would be targeted by someone like that, who do exist in this community (the person enforcing the CoC in this instance being one of them)

The creator of Hyprland obviously isn’t bothered by having these alt-right/Nazi types in the community and hasn’t been willing to remove them. These liberals certainly won’t make him change his mind ...

This doesn't matter, because it's not about hyprland, that guy can fuck off to his Nazi cave as far as I'm concerned, we aren't trying to change hyprland. This is about this person trying to make himself at home in an organization full of the kind of people he targets, who will be under attack if someone like him is allowed this leeway. Those people are already part of this community and need to be kept safe, would you rather they be forced out?

US and NATO are also very pro-LGBTQ, does that mean we need to side with them against African and SEA countries who don’t have a good LGBTQ track record?

To be honest, I find this to be an extremely bad faith interpretation of my comment, and makes it sound like you didn't even read what I wrote. Again, this is not about liberals using the aesthetics of "queer rights" to manufacture consent to attack the global south, this is a community full of queer people banning an outright Nazi because he is a threat to them. This isn't about creating the image that the community is supposedly safe for queer people when it's not, it's about ensuring the safety of the queer people who are already here and contributing in major ways.

I have to be clear here, your comment is not some principled stand against imperialism, it is very close to being a defense for outright Nazis just because the people they're targeting for being vulnerable minorities happen to be liberals (you know, like most people in the west), and I really hope that this is just because you have some kind of misunderstanding of what's actually going on in this situation.

users are harassing a trans person in the freedesktop organization for banning a well known bad actor from contributing, the guy who made hyprland, who encourages and participates in queerphobic harassment, especially against trans people

It's especially infuriating because previously people had reasonable discussions on /r/linux about how ridiculously shitty this guy is, but now pretend as if the accusations are completely unfounded, or pretend it doesn't matter (the usual defense is "it's his personal Discord, how can you ban him for stuff he does there??"), along with the usual complaints about "ideology infiltrating Linux" (this is especially hilarious seeing how many of these people also worship Richard Stallman), as well as the typical redditor idea that rules lawyering is perfectly valid because "debate" and any use of common sense moderation is "power tripping"

But all he has to do is say "Red Hat Bad!!" (this isn't even a Red Hat thing really) and write a few one-sided blog posts directly naming and shaming and everyone goes nuts

Words can't describe how upset I am at this situation, people like this are the absolute lowest scum of the Linux and free software community

Do you think they even realize how many of the people who write the software they rely on are queer 🤔

Edit: Feel a little more hopeful finding out that another thread was posted where people are far more reasonable, making it pretty clear that the thread I'm talking about isn't really the usual community response and is actually just brigading by the asshole's groupies

They probably think "the SEE SEE PEE will hack your phone and steal all your data the moment you step in the country!!" lmao

Edit: I was right lmao

Exactly, people still have this cartoonish idea of what a Trump presidency would be like as if we didn't have 4 years of seeing exactly what it would be like

People are like "but maybe he'll be worse this time!", and like that could be true, but that's an entirely different thing than making very specific assumptions about specific actions he's supposedly going to take based on no actual evidence, it's just fearmongering to try to coerce people into reelecting a president who has already been actively materially worse (it's as if everyone's forgotten how much trans rights in the US have already been backsliding under Biden's watch)

Was just watching the new Coaster College video about the roller coaster accident that happened in a park in Shenzhen last October, and while the video was good, man, so many of the comments are exactly what you'd expect about anything related to China

The funniest ones were the "made in China" ones, when the coaster in question was made by a US company 😂

It's also pretty funny for people to act like there's fewer repercussions for Chinese companies for this kind of thing, when the video even mentions that the investigators sent by the city directly recommended criminal charges against multiple managers from the park in question, which is wild when these sorts of accidents in the US almost never result in anything resembling criminal charges, usually the people responsible don't even face any consequences

It's also interesting to see people mention it as being unusual that the Chinese government is so open about something (since the investigation info is available to the public), unfortunately I doubt they'll look at this and question anything else they've been told about China's government

in Minecraft

But comrade... MINECRAFT is one of those games that doesn't have pausing...! 😨 (In Bedrock anyway, Java Edition is thankfully safe)

Oh hey, it's that guy again!

The same guy who posted this

for our ace comrades

"tribal behavior"

It’s gotten so bad, I expect the next WW2 era first person shooter won’t be having a Russian campaign this time.

The next? Call of Duty: WWII already came out six years ago and only had an American campaign lol

It was honestly pretty hilarious how hard that one went into "America won WWII" territory when previous WWII ones were pretty good about showing how other countries made the bigger contributions (even with them still having biases and propaganda), most of them had a Russian campaign too
