Thread 106227556

Linux Foundation's Alliance for OpenUSD has banned more words. The list includes:
- Sanity check
- Hung
- Native support
- Dummy
- Housekeeping
I hope you are updating you code to meet new standards and requirements, or you might find yourself out of a job!

ok if we're gonna put on the language policing hat for a second, grandfathering is not "ageist language", it's a reference to the post-reconstruction laws which disenfranchised african americans by denying the vote to anyone whose grandfather hadn't been allowed to vote, which you'd think would be the main reason you'd want people to stop saying it, not that it contains the word grandfather and any reference to age is verboten

nope, they won. i can't speak normally anymore because of their total cultural victory. they get to say what's right. it's not like im saying nigger toes. it's simply "you guys". it might be stupid but it is not offensive. now we cant say it in meetings. we *might* offend someone who has no right to be offended. they think we are speaking the same language, and so can determine if they are offended by it, but i assure you we are not speaking the same language if you can be offended by it.

The UN has no idea what they're doing with open source. They're already massively cucked by Microsoft. The people in charge of Open Source there are rapidly deploying software scans so they can gatekeep which projects they like and don't.

Guess whether the software scans are open source or not? This is basically Microsoft's talking points on open source. The UN is not to be trusted with these kinds of things if they cannot remove the parasite of Microsoft.

The place is full of bullies who will use every opportunity to use these purity tests against others. This is a virtue signaling document and it's very obvious. It was most likely written by a Zionist who will ban any open source project they don't like.

>>106231363
I know for a fact that they don't follow through on any of their own open source principles. This is a powerful hungry document that is just a bunch of marketing phrases. If you only knew how bad it is.

>>106231251
Yes, it isn't an issue when speaking to people around here (yet?).
But this list of bad words is apparently universal. If I use that phrase which is (or was?) ubiquitous here someone may be offended. I assure you it wasn't my intent to gender you or anyone I was refering to in the second person plural. It was my dialect slipping through. I accept that the listener gets to decide if they are offended. But I see it as a very minor difference in language as spoken in the United States. People could consider accomodating that difference, but nope it seems cultural sensitivity is not the goal.

I guess that same cultural hegemony is behind the push "latinx" on hispanics too. I can't even imagine how resentful I'd be if I was hispanic and morons tried to change *my* language to suit *their* misunderstanding.

>black box/white box -> closed box/open box
Has anyone already informed the specimens that came up with this impressive bit of virtue flagging, that these actually mean different things and are two different axes in software testing?

Black box testing is testing only outwardly observable behavior,
white box testing is testing outwardly observable behavior while knowing about the internals, and
transparent box testing is testing while being able to observe the internal behavior.

Closed box testing means you are not allowed to modify the internal behavior - whether directly, by temporarily altering code, or indirectly by passing in altered mocks of dependent implementations.
While open box testing means you are.

You can actually have closed white box testing. Or open black box testing.

can we push this to ridiculous limits
if someone says something's lame can we feign outrage over the gross display of ableism?
next time someone says something sucks can we get them written up for using a homophobic slur?

The push started long before the reactionaries. It's just further proof that they never planned to roll anything back, and as soon as Trump is out of office, it'll be back to pushing hard and banning free speech. They just need the conservatives to push palantir and internet IDs first. If it was under the original liberal push to limit hatespeech, the IDs wouldn't have been allowed, so they went with the tried and true "muh chilrens" angle, instead of the "muh oppreshunz" angle.

So that's the end of Linux then. Without the fun there is no point.

>>106244907
Linux was always a for-profit corporation. Nothing in this world is free, especially not code. The whole thing is a pyramid scheme paid for by big companies like Microsoft and Apple to trick young programmers into making code free of charge that will then be implemented into proprietary applications such as MacOS, Windows and Android to improve them. There was never an organic push for free software, if there was, there wouldn't be enough money for it to materialize into anything. We all got played, and it's better to just have Windows or Mac because at least that's a complete OS, and not just a testbed.

Scraping the barrel with the examples. Who says pow-wow in the 21st century? Legacy is hardly objectionable. Culture vs values also appears meaningless, and 'values fit' is an awkward term nobody would use. Of course everything on the list is stupid but even the believers aren't going to get much out of this

There is no other set of words than correctly conveys the exact meaning intended with master and slave.

Anons are brain damaged. You Brave users, Windows users and macOS users DID THIS. FUCK YOU.

Example being "that nigger is well hanged" meaning he has a massive low slung set of testicles that swing on the breeze while swings on a rope while tonguing my angus?

They need a sanity check before they get hung by dummys for native support in the housekeeping.

>>106245104
The only correct answer, indeed.

Time for a new OpenSource Community. From scratch. With Hookers and Blackjack.

I always liked the hive & drone analogy. But the meaning changes. And not that there was anything wrong with master & slave to begin with. In fact, some blue haired people chimping out gives me all the more reason to stick to the old ways, just to show them they have no power here.

Just use Windows like a normal human being for fucks sake. There are tons of free de-Microsoft versions out there for paranoid schizos

>>106245614
Exactly!

And if you think that's sexist, it's maybe your turn to show the world what male hookers look like, instead of wanting to shut it down.

>master, slave
sorry, I'm not going to change to less recognizable term
>owner, master -> lead, manager, expert, primary
lead, manager is pure retardation and something corporats would fancy
if it's about main git branch, main whatever then primary seems ok, but I use default
>native feature/support -> core feature/support, built-in feature/support
each of these terms have different meaning, pure retardation
>pow-wow -> huddle, sync, meeting
never heard of it, sounds retarded, good riddance, but huddle sounds retarded so I'm not going to use it ever
>culture fit -> values fit
retarded corpo speak, both of them
>man hours -> labor hours, work hours
it's fine
>manpower -> labor, workforce
it's fine
>guys -> folks, ...
it's fine, but I don't going to bother
>girls -> women
I don't care
>middleman -> middle person, mediator, liaison, go-between
middle person is annoying, mediator is fine, liaison is literally what, go-between sounds retarded
>gendered pronouns
don't care
>crazy, insane
never used these, the alternatives are reasonable
>normal -> typical, usual
it's fine, but I see nothing wrong with normal and I don't care because it's the default word that come to mind because it's direct translation from my native language
>abnormal -> atypical, unusual
I'm more ok with that, because I don't use that word, the word in my native language for that is different so I don't think about this
>sanity check -> validation check, consistency check, logic check, gut check
that term was stupid to begin with, besides gut check which is retarded alternative are actually good
>dummy -> placeholder, stub, sample
I don't mind the change, I use stub or placeholder
>housekeeping -> cleanup, maintenance, logistics
never seen it being used, maintenance and cleanup is reasonable, logistics sounds retarded

Windows had this 1989 and macOS had this 2003. Why anons lose their shit over this when finally Linux was forced to include this same shit now by Microsoft and Apple?

You are the reason why we have this. Fuck you baby duck cuckslave US tier third world American cuck: >>106245821

I hate frankfurt schooled Americans so much. Annoying pseudo pacifists.

>Hung
That's transphobic.

>>106227556 (OP)
They do this because it's working. Ever notice how everyone under 30 now says "they" and "them" when referring to a person, even when they know the sex of the person they're talking about?
I was about to bring up the master/main branch shit too, but I'm stuck in the ESL world and people still use terms like "master data" while pushing to "main".

>>106242013
but parent/child and master/slave are not the same kind of relationship, clearly

>>106227556 (OP)
>housekeeping is bad now
why are they belittling people that clean houses for a living. that's a respectable profession

>>106227652
Leave it to centrists to ignore the anti-White attitude of genetically inferior troons and malicious jews and label it as just being "pedantic about language for no reason"
