I never expected this, but some mofo seems to have defaced linux.org. DNS takeover I guess? 🙈

    No, the doxxing.

    It's already on the internet, the damage is done. One image (blurred or not) cannot make the dox more or less bad.

    @TobyAsE There's a few backups on archive.org as well lol

    @Stuxnet I was thinking about sites like that...

    This is especially fucked because she had nothing to do with Linux adopting the Contributors Covenant

    She wrote the thing years ago and it's been adopted by thousands of projects and conferences since then, doxing her because someone else convinced Linux to use it is just fundamentally fucked

    These arseholes just prove that they can't behave themselves as functional members of society and are the reason places have code of conducts

    Doxxing is horrible, even for people that really need to be run over by a train full of maggot-infested manure.

    That's terrible. The person didn't even have anything to do with Linux adopting the CoC...

    I am against doxxing and stuff but at this point I am too frustrated by all this shit that I can't be "the good guy". I love OSS and all the communities I have been involved with so far have been extraordinary and the people, incredible. I don't want "SJW"s and "Ruby heroes" messing with something as beautiful as code. And I don't want people who probably don't even understand how a process scheduler works, let alone write one as hardcore as the Linux scheduler, turning sw dev into politics. I mean, how the fuck did you sign a CoC derived from a covenant written by a fucking retard who is against meritocracy? This is fucking SW dev, code quality is the biggest factor!!(and probably the only one) If you submit a patch with shitty code then I don't care if you donated millions of dollars for kids in Africa, that patch should not get merged. So, fuck her and all the fucking retards who put politics before code and making OSS into a shitshow.

    @rithvikp Yeah, but it's still immoral. That person only created the CoC. It was spread by others.

    @filthyranter thanks for the information!

    @rithvikp hear hear! I truly second this!

    @filthyranter Well, in most cases I read about, where the CC CoC got pressed, Coraline was (somehow) involved.
    And I find issues opened by newly created accounts highly suspicious.

    Code is a code. I dont give a fuck if a guy hates gays or not for example (thats his choice). To me it doesnt matter as long as he does not bring his hatreds to the project.

    Same goes the other way. Just don't understand why people want to bring politics into code -_-

    @filthyranter If she had written the CoC, put it on a public gist and went "hey, I wrote this document which I think helps the community and the project, see if you want to use it ", it'd have been okay. Heck, I might even have respected her for trying to get people to understand her POV, but if you go out calling every community that's not using the CoC hostile (especially the ones you have never interacted with directly) and use your twitter army and controversy-frenzy media outlets to pressure the maintainers into adopting it, that's where you start crossing the line and get into my hate list.

    But again, all of this is no excuse for doxxing her. You can hate a person with all your heart but you shouldn't go harming her, that's where some people crossed the line and it's not okay.

    Lookout everyone, they're even using l33t speak. We're dealing with a serious hackerman here.
