This year's Debian Project Leadership election has only ONE candidate and it's a Pajeeta (Sruthi Chandran):
>She is inactive on the mailing lists, and her Salsa profile is private so we can't even see what her coding contributions are.
>She's run for DPL 4 times before; lost each time
>Her entire platform is just about diversity and bitching about cis males
>She intends to formally incorporate Debian in the US, which would force Debian to introduce age verification
Her only claim to fame is organizing DebConf23, an event where a Debian developer literally fucking DIED because basic health & safety measures were not followed.

A much more qualified candidate was hospitalized during the nomination window and couldn't apply in time, yet she has refused to reopen nominations.

Debian is FUCKED unless the Debian developers all vote NOTA (None of the above).

>>
The nomination window for DPL elections is one week long, though this year zero candidates had stepped forth. So right when nominations were due to restart, she applied in the last minute, leaving no time for anyone else to submit counternominations.

THIS BITCH EBAY SNIPED HER WAY INTO TAKING OVER DEBIAN

Sruthi thought Debian was India and that she could give a few non-answers and be done with it. She thought she wasa shoe-in. Her answers are burying her campaign.

>Can you point to recent discussions that you would describe as "spending hours on flame wars on mailing lists with no result"?
She ignored that question, because she made the flamewars on mailing lists up. That's just some rumor she'd heard about second-hand, or thinks that IRC/mailing lists are about flamewars because that's what Indian IT books say.

Simple, diversity doesn't actually refer to the variety of people in a group. It refers to the percentage of persons in the group that qualify as "diverse". You can have a group that's completely homogeneous and it'll still be 100% diverse.
The definition changed the moment that "diversity is about getting rid of white people (and that's a good thing)" article dropped.

How many times did we have a non-(cis)male candidate for DPL? If I am not wrong, when I contested in 2020, I was the second non-(cis)male DPL candidate till date. As with my last two rounds of contesting for DPL (2020 & 2021), this year too my primary goal of contesting is to bring the diversity issues for discussion. I believe I was successful in that at-least to a small extend in my previous rounds.

Systemd is nice because I don't have to deal with scripts or symlink shit in /etc or /var to enable services

Sysvinit is the only one of those under a GPL licence. You cannot simultaneously claim that systemd (which is GPL) erodes freedom while simultaneously pushing non-free alternatives.
>>
>>108515075
init freedom is about freedom of choice, being able to choose your init. a lot of software has systemd as a hard dependency, that reduces our freedom.

>non-free alternatives
According to the FSF, the BSD 3-clause license, the "MIT license", and the ISC license are all free and compatible with GNU GPL.
>>
>>108515280
I agree that software shouldn't have any one init system as a hard dependency. However, that is not an indictment against systemd itself, which is objectively the best init system for most users (even without counting programs that depend on it).
>>
>>108515314
>which is objectively the best init system for most users
Actually, it's the best init system for servers. Most users would benefit from inits that are easy to learn, controlled by a few commands (status, up, down), configured through easy to read scripts and config files.
>>
>>108515330
>easy to read scripts
This is an oxymoron.

Typical users shouldn't have to directly deal with services at all, and if they must they shouldn't have to symlink things into /var and edit scripts and manually manage script dependencies;
sudo systemctl enable yatatatatatatatata
is all I should have to do.
>>
>>108515349
>Typical users shouldn't have to directly deal with services at all
Most package managers do that anyway, cause services packaged for the distro will include the necessary init scripts. It would be trivial for a package manager to enable a service after installation too, it's just not common practice. Users are expected to enable the services themselves. I think symlinking a file into a /var/service dir is much simpler and transparent than running systemctl enable nameofservice, especially because nameofservice doesn't have to be the same as packagename.
>>
>>108515367
>It would be trivial for a package manager to enable a service after installation too, it's just not common practice
It is common practice, at least on systemd distros. The only time I've ever had to work with services myself is to enable the NordVPN crap and restart the NVIDIA sleep service in a TTY (because NVIDIA's sleep service is fucking broken!) and it was super simple with systemd.
>I think symlinking a file into a /var/service dir is much simpler and transparent
No it isn't, because "systemctl enable" has a much stronger semantic link to enabling something than memorising Unix directories. What the fuck is a /var and why should the typical user be expected to know what it does? How is typing out symlink commands and filling out scripts more user-friendly? Come on, man.
>especially because nameofservice doesn't have to be the same as packagename
Because a package may include multiple services.
>>
>>108515349
rc-update and rc-service take care of that without manual symlinks and dinit is everything systemd has going for it, but better and without the cancer.

>"It has come to my attention that one Jeremy Bicha is a Debian developer who cast a ballot in this year's DPL election. If you search up his name on Google, the first thing you will see is his profile on the Florida Registered Sex Offender registry, because he raped multiple prepubescent girls throughout the 1990's and confessed to all this in court; this is public information that has been known for years and impossible to miss. As far as I can tell, raping children would be considered a violation of the Debian Code of Conduct, therefore his developer status should be annulled.

Additionally, there is an important question about his relationship with the Debian Project that has yet to be answered: he was due to speak at DebConf25 last year, an event that children were initially permitted to attend (children were barred after news of his involvement blew up). Curiously, right when his speech was set to start, the livestream experienced technical issues. The question is: was Bicha's speech cancelled, or did it take place while simply being hidden from the public?
>>
>>108523308
1) His convictions predate his Debian controbutions
2) Debian constitution does not prevent convicted pedophiles and sex offenders from particiapting in elections

You laugh, but that's essentially how it works. CoC applies only to those organizations and individuals that chose to ratify it and live under its rules.

For example, you can be a debian developer and a football hooligan and beat people up every weekend, but as long as the people you beat up are not part of Debian, you're good.

I'm about to hit send, this is my final draft of the email:

I understand this topic may be somewhat tangential to the election mailing list, however I reviewed the list of voters in this year's DPL election and discovered that Jeremy Bicha is a Debian developer who cast a ballot: https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/leader2026/voters.txt

If you search up his name on Google, the very first result is his profile on Florida's Sexual Offender and Predator System, as he molested multiple preteen girls throughout the 1990's and confessed to all this in court.
https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/sops/flyer.jsf?personId=85068
https://wng.org/articles/the-high-cost-of-negligence-1617309216

Raping children is most likely a violation of the Debian Code of Conduct, and is reprehensible enough to call into question his continued status as a Debian developer.

Additionally, there are two more important questions about Bicha's relationship with the Debian Project that have yet to be answered. Bicha was due to speak at DebConf25 last year, an event that children were permitted to attend. The livestream also experienced technical issues when his talk was about to start, leaving it unclear whether he spoke.

The two questions are:

1. What factors led to the decision to allow children in the presence of Bicha?

2. Was Bicha's talk was canceled, or did it indeed take place but was simply never streamed?

Is it depressing to anyone else that this pedo hasn't just been cancelled? When I read these Debian people shamelessly defend him without anonymity, I feel like I'm in a dream; it's that exact sort of illogical coincidence after illogical coincidence that eventually makes you lucid and compels you to wake up. Raping children is a crime that even in liberal democracies you'll find majority support for capital punishment, yet there guys have it in them to make peace with it. How is that not a classical evil? FOSS projects have Codes of Conduct which cancel people over minor infractions, yet being an actual child sex predator isn't worth cancelling?

Best rename this distro Epstian.
>>
>>108527108
*yet these guys have it in them
>>
>>108527108
What I don't get is how eager they are to cancel people for ticking someone off then investigating them to find that they had the wrong opinion on something or other, but they leave this guy in.
...No, of course, I get it, I mean it's one of the letters in the 2SLGBTQIAPP+ pile, so it's a "protected group" in their minds. And the reality is by this point he's probably done a bunch of stuff that's useful to the organization somehow, because I've seen complaints about him for years.

But anyway, how is this guy even relevant? Unless he's already said he plans to vote for Sruthi. If not, that's a way more pressing issue at the moment than this guy. He can be dealt with later. Focus on getting someone who isn't a racist and actually cares about making something that isn't hostile to the user in charge first.
>>
>>108527197
I think focusing on him is actually a decent way to sow disillusionment in the Debian establishment. It's subtly pushes people towards NOTA.
>>
>>108527217
Dude, that's not how people vote these days. People vote out of spite. And not spite for the candidate, spite for other voters. If they find out the 4chuds don't like Sruthi, who, remind you, is the ONLY ONE RUNNING, someone WILL vote for her to piss us off and that's all it'll take as far as I know. Sperging out about some pedo who isn't in the elections mailing list is just going to lead that one person to make the connection.
>>
>>108527264
>Sperging out about some pedo who isn't in the elections mailing list is just going to lead that one person to make the connection.
How so? This was like 2 weeks after the last mailing list shitstorm and it's ostensibly unrelated to Sruthi's campaign. I think it will increase the likelihood a developer thinks "You know what...the Debian Project is fucked up. Something needs to change."
>>
>>108527264
The basic idea: if developers learn that this person is among their ranks, someone is going to be disgusted. And someone is going to be doubly disgusted that he is being PROTECTED by the Debian Project. If this erodes their trust in the existing system, they will be likelier to vote NOTA.
>>
>>108527294
>I think it will increase the likelihood a developer thinks "You know what...the Debian Project is fucked up. Something needs to change."
If you want that, cite something else, like the amount of deaths and burnouts that seem to happen around the project. Someone put up a website all about that already, but I can't remember what it was called. A danger to the health of someone working on it is going to get more attention and be less likely to get thought of as the misguided ramblings of bigots.

>Best rename this distro Epstian.
ridiculous, why'd you rename a global project because of a single (supposedly ex-) pedo coding for free? let's rename the USA too.
>>
>>108527367
Accusing Sruthi (who is a candidate in this race) of criminal negligence for DebConf23 will be seen as a transparent attempt at election manipulation, and compel people to vote for Sruthi out of spite. You can demand accountability for his death all day, but the sad truth is that since it happened in a third world country, there was no investigation, and since there was no investigation, anything you say will sound conspiratorial.

Something that IS actually a textbook example of criminal negligence however is a child sex predator being invited to an event with children. There is nothing conspiratorial here: we know this man's criminal record because it's the most immediately available information about him, and we know you shouldn't let him near children. And yet he was allowed near children. People who want such a thing to never happen again will either get what they want, or lose faith in the process.
>>

>his death

>>
>>108527479
I'm not talking about the one at the conference she was involved with. I mean other, earlier stuff, a long running pattern of events. You're not going to persuade people that this pedo is a problem because they've already accepted him being there for years. To get people to doubt a system that they've already accepted, you have to show systemic flaws, which one death and one burnout and one pedo isn't.
>>
>>108527500
>they've already accepted him being there for years
How many of them are aware he's a pedo though? There's hundreds of Debian developers and they can't all be expected to know each other.
>>
>>108527508
Well all of them by this point considering you dumped this freakout in the middle of a conversation about an election he's not running in. The debian mailing list isn't 4chan. You're not going to go around accusing anyone who tells you to shut up of being a pedophile without looking like even more of a spaz and people in charge of moderating the discussion actually *pay attention* because they are paranoid that there might be a "dangerous" bigot in their midst, so they won't let you throw around accusations and insults for more than a few messages. As you can clearly see by this thread it sure derails any discussion fantastically, but that's 'cause the mods don't give a shit. Debian's do.

Arch/Gentoo are stable as you make them, they are a reflection of your skill. It's inevitable that in a blue moon some package will break something, but you shouldn't be a fool updating every nanosecond, and you should follow the news when they drop few times a year.

Like I said earlier, debian is good if you *agree* with the opinion of the devs/maintainers, and like being behind in updates, otherwise a diy distro is better, especially for desktop.

And if this doesn't tell you everything you need to know about him, let me add that he also made sure to add the fact that he graduated middle school* with distinction to his CV. On his homepage.

you're problematizing its automated nature, while all OSs are in a way or another reliable like that and almost everyone in any field expects it to be so.

It sounds really absurd when you put it like that but I bet there's a scary amount of people who are attracted to underage kids but never actually commit any kind of crime because of it.
Just like how there's a whole bunch of ugly kissless virgins but they don't all end up raping a woman or paying for a whore because they could not get laid normally. They just stay virgin.
>>
>>108539709
He'll probably tell you that they should all be executed, including said ugly virgins and maybe a couple of other classes of degenerates he'll name to try and sound like he fits in around here, 'cause to this guy, all (sex) crimes are crimes of status; criminal acts just expose the criminal status.

Linus is a born member of the rootless trans-national parasite class. He grew up in a Swedish speaking enclave in Finland, never learned finnspeak, and was swiftly escorted from college into a career of doing basically whatever the hell he wants. You shouldn't expect him to have well formed political views because he's never had a reason to seriously think about it.

It was about how a regular DOS OS would only cost 200 Finnish marks (~$38), whereas a UNIX OS could easily cost up to twenty thousand Finnish marks (~$3836 in 1994), which is "a bit too expensive for a student living on a budget".

Last time I found a porn girl who looks like him, and I made sure to Linux my Torvald to it.

Correct me if I am misunderstood but from what I understand When Bicha was around 17-18 he violently sexually abused his 10-11 yo sister and aggressively demanding sexual favors until she had the courage to report him. I doubt he's medically pedophillic (the scientific definition of the word). He looks like the kind of person that uses force to obtain sexual gratification and would have raped any easy target female in close proximity back in the early 2000s. Sister was just easy access.

Thus supporting the controversial claim
>That's convicted child rapist. There are several divisions of honest pedophile who want nothing to do with this guy

Because of violence, aggression and her young age - this is an extreme case unlike the 17-21 dating moral panics. Bicha actually did grave harm, so I definitely agree the victims have high possibility of being traumatized for life. I don't think he is a danger to kids anymore logically but I can understand why organizations would want nothing to do with him. I'm also confident if all of /g/ had their hard drives inspected a huge chunk of them would be on the registry too. So their moral high horse is an illusion. Though it's safe to say most of /g/ is not violent or rapist.
>>
>>108546128
>their moral high horse is an illusion
They are incapable of removing themselves and their emotions from the picture.
He's in a way socially castrated, his information is readly available, the law dictates where he can go now, if the event organisers gave him a chance, thats on them, doesn't reflect anyone but their own views (surely not the project's), its up for the people around him to make their own judgement.

That site is even worse ragebait than Lunduke's stuff.

I just thought of something. One of the official Debian Blends is "Debian Jr", which is meant to be an OS for children. If Debian Jr uses any packages that are maintained by Jeremy Bicha, we could submit bug reports saying these packages need to be removed from Debian Jr because they are raping kids.

When Torvalds released it under the GPL? How did you delusional retards come up with these fantasies? When was it ever restricted to "white male hobbyists"?

>implying tech wasn't as White as hyperborean snow and a huge sausage fest for the vast majority of time.
Of course there wasn't some "Aryan bvlls only" rule, but the demographics were very White and very Male. That's why there were tons of articles about how tech was "too White" and "too Male" during the 2010s especially. Now that it changed people want to act like it was always this way despite the fact you can still watch old videos and see that wasn't the case. Maybe the odd nip or chingchong here and there. A foid every once in a blue moon. But it's stark contrast from what it once was.

>>
>come up with ways she could destroy Debian
If she wins, she's not gonna be active on the mailing list. Then she'll say she wants to explore other options. She'll hire some jeets to set up Slack. It won't work. Debian developers will split. The unhappy ones, probably the most competent ones too, are gonna make their own distro. Sruthi will replace them with jeets.

Jeets are gonna push some breaking change into stable. Many will drop it after that. But Debian will still be alive, kept alive by DEI funding and sponsorships that Sruthi, elected leader for life by that point, will secure. She will try to rebrand it into a girl power diversity distro. Money will flow in. It will be marketed by Karly Kloss types and tiktokers. And then they'll push another breaking bug into stable.

Debian will be abandoned as a serious distro. Everyone using distro will switch to a fork or fork it themselves and rebrand.

And that will be that.

Nta but, imo, they can probably migrate (and expand to repack stuff in .deb automagically) amprolla to another distro like gentoo or slackware. It may take some work and may not even be worth the effort in the end (as in, at the point it's better to use another distro altogether without jumping through hoops).
