Web Developer by day, and aspiring Swift developer at night.
I read a post earlier tonight from tumbler that made me uncomfortably aware that I am naive when it comes to dog whistles and other subtleties people use to spread their hate. It laid out examples of things people are saying, and explained why they’re bad.
I know I would find it helpful and educational to know where you’re coming from, and to see the examples you’re speaking about.
It’s not the inclusivity that’s political, nor the problem. It’s the banning/silencing people who have any modicum of dissent.
Catholics have their own Bible.
It’s more than some unofficial mod in discord. The Xitter Community Manager apparently had no chill with any type of criticism about their politically-motivated posted about being “woke” (in ref to someone xitting about studios being woke for using prebuilt game engines). Unhappy members of the Godot community spoke out (politely mind you) that they’d rather see Godot focus on fixing bugs, rather than wasting resources being political. The CM’s response was to lay the ban hammer (both on Xitter and on GitHub) and block dissenting views. That’s round about when the unofficial mod decided to step in and white knight for the CM using their unofficial discord server.
In the end, it looks like the Godot Foundation is all in protecting their CM, and released a statement only apologizing for banning people who were not a part of the conversation; offering a Google form as a means to get unbanned.
Why is it a big deal? Depends on which side you believe is right or wrong:
On the CM’s side, it’s probably (and this is solely my opinion) about feeling empowered by their position to promote their sociopolitical agenda. For the Godot foundation, it seems they agree with their CM; or maybe they are too proud to admit fault.
For the devs, they just want to have a platform to build their games, and are frustrated by what they perceive is a lack of support (and documentation) from the engine devs. They don’t want to be involved in any sociopolitical argument, and feel that Godot shouldn’t either.
Personally, I feel the CM acted wholly unprofessional and should be fired. Not because they wanted to promote inclusivity with their remarks about being “woke”, but instead by their blanket bans for any hint of criticism. It shows a severe lack of emotional maturity and inability to function in a society. They are no better than those they fight against (ie bigots).
The Godot Foundation should be ashamed of their lack of response, and not calling out the CM for their banpage. They are shitting all over the very people that want to help them grow and become successful. In this case, I haven’t seen many (if any) devs being assholes, and yet Godot is allowing them to be mistreated.
Again, all of the above is my understanding and opinion of the matter. I am in no way affiliated with Godot, the CM, or any of the devs.
Hey I understand. Im appalled by these people who are trying to turn this into some sort of political conspiracy for the sake of … I really don’t know what.
I hope your friends are okay. You too. Take time for yourself too.
Yes, and technically the Navy and Air Force were once involved, but it’s now run by a university in Alaska.
But yeah, these people don’t care about facts, so long as they can blame the government for something bad that happened.
I’m not the one trolling. I’m recounting a recent discussion i saw on Nextdoor. I think these people are batshit crazy.
According to many locals on NextDoor in my area, Helene was more than just a natural disaster. In fact, thanks in part to HAARP, the government has learned how to manufacture weather on their whims, and since mining companies have been getting pushback from the locals in both Gastonia and the mountains (over quartz and lithium deposits), the government sent Helene to flood those areas to devalue the properties so people will have no choice but to sell to the mining companies.
I shit you not. I wish I had screenshotted the conversation before it finally got removed.
And yall think Reddit is bad…. 😱
You know what else is overrun? Paywalls or other “requirements” where I need to signup and/or pay to access something that should be free.
Don’t get me started on those fullscreen ad interstitials that force me to watch an ad I’m not interested in before I can continue either.
Let’s face it, the Internet today fucking sucks and it’s partly to do with these so-called news outlets like the Atlantic.
I miss the days when barely anyone heard of the web. Sure, it wasn’t as feature rich, but then again, those features are overly abused in the name of capitalism anyway. It’s like those strip malls that have nothing but shitty restaurants, nail salons, and tax preparers. Gone are the days of fun stores like hobby shops, comic book stores, local mom & pop toy stores.
They just sucked the fun out of it all. 😡
According to the PMBOK (7th edition) by the Project Management Institute (PMI), daily standup is a “brief, daily collaboration meeting in which the team review progress from the previous day, declares intentions for the current day, and highlights any obstacles encountered or anticipated.” Source
To be fair, daily standups are defined however your group collectively decide to define it.
For those who decide to report the work from previous day, it’s expected that you would have made your list before the meeting, not during. It’s a practice I too struggle with. 😊
When my dad was in hospice, laying in a coma, I poured my heart out to him saying good bye and all that. The next day he died. Might be a coincidence; it might not. I like to think that he got closure from my ramblings the night before.
Hm. Might not be standup that’s the problem. Might be a company culture thing. But only you know that for sure. Good luck op! Disassociation can be a life saver.
Trump has to
win, we must push for paper ballots and voter ID, and fucking California bans voter IDlose, motherfuckers
FTFY
Now get out and vote, motherfuckers!
It would suck not to hold people accountable for their very bad decisions, but at this point if it means putting this shit behind us, I’d begrudgingly take it.
Birthed me. Then they had the audacity to celebrate it each year there after.
This post is still not Linux related.
The -i is not required.
sudo -u root bash ftw
I think you touched on a great point: there are people who do not want to participate in a discussion; they’d rather make their statements, and then have nothing to do with anyone who disagrees with them at any level.
People have forgotten that “to argue” means to, “give reasons or cite evidence in support of an idea, action, or theory, typically with the aim of persuading others to share one’s view…”
And just because someone doesn’t immediately or fully agree with you does not make them your enemy, or necessarily mean they’re a bad person. Sure, there are people who would argue in bad faith, and those people should certainly not be tolerated. But there are also people who are here in good faith, attempting to have honest conversations.
