I feel genuinely sorry for all transgender people that are caught in the crossfire even though they don't necessarily agree with what their activist "friends" are doing.

But as always with media, only the loudest voices are heard.

Same for all the other movements btw. BLM, feminism, you name it.

Bitcoin Core now has a trans lead maintainer, Ava Chow. Hopefully this nonsense doesn't come to Bitcoin too...

The really interesting thing about this is the Transmoaist movement is funded by the big pharma (pig pharma). So one trans patient getting "healthcare" will make a pharma company about 1 million dollars fiat USD. It's a funded and the "activists" are getting paid to destroy organizations where the benefit is: funded transhumanism, or destroying structures where people gather based on family, culture, and ideas that interfere with communism.

The sad part is that it's also promoted by eugenicists as well. It's a cash cow and it's destroying the health of many young people. No Agenda has producers who have transitioned over 10 years ago or more and sadly they are wearing adult diapers and have many health issues that have made them over dependent on big pharma.

There are also fake trans "influencers" who get paid to push.

The only way this stops is when doctors start getting sued by adults who were transitioned as minors.

I absolutely do not believe in the system to solve any problems. Doctors don't have their own practices anymore. Doctors are broke, their insurance, paychecks and incentives all come from the well funded big pharma hospitals. How this nonsense stops is when people stop relying on the system to fix people. People can and do heal themselves, they manage themselves and they don't need co-operative organizations with bylaws and rules that contradict what is nature.

People can do everything needed to live a good life here and they don't need central planners deciding what is and is not applicable in life. All actions are the responsibility of individuals. Blaming others is an illness. We are all responsible for the results and the work we do. That's it. Pleasing a group or a government is an illusion. I'm the end of is what we do or do not that affects this whole operation.

And this, this is why I will never use nixOS.

I don't think this should keep you from the wonderful ideas of NixOS. I believe most of the activist members have forked it.

Do they still have that pesky contributor Covenant? I will not deal with any distro that does that crap.

I'm not positive but i don't think those would prevent downstream use or simply avoiding contributing back upstream.

It's more the fact they are trying to make the tool be a creedo or something. It's very annoying.

I generally don't only use code that shares my exact ideology. I like free software because anyone can use it and ignore the creators personal opinions.

Code doesn't need an ideology. That's why it's code!

LLM:

The article describes a controversial situation within the NixOS project, a Linux distribution and packaging system. According to the report, the project has experienced significant internal conflict over issues related to diversity and inclusion policies[1].

Key points from the article include:

A proposal was made to create a dedicated seat for "Gender Minority" (described as "Trans" people) on a committee responsible for approving monetary sponsors[1].
Some contributors raised concerns about this proposal, arguing it could be discriminatory against other groups[1].
The disagreement escalated, with some project leaders calling for a "purge" of those they labeled as "Nazis" - a term they applied to those who disagreed with the proposed policy[1].
Several contributors were suspended or banned from the project, allegedly for not sufficiently supporting the "Trans Only Seat" concept[1].
The conflict reached the project's leadership, with accusations made against Eelco Dolstra, the founder of Nix[1].
Dolstra initially expressed disappointment at accusations of excluding marginalized groups[1].
The Nix Foundation Board reportedly drafted an abdication letter for Dolstra, which he was pressured to sign[1].
Dolstra signed the abdication letter on April 30th, 2024[1].

The article presents this situation as part of a broader pattern of conflicts in open-source communities over diversity and inclusion policies. It's important to note that this is one perspective on a complex and contentious issue, and other viewpoints may exist.

Its literally FOSS

If all of those people actually contribute good code, they can literally just make their own repo

There is basically no consequence to this. We already have the NUR (Nix User Repository) and you could add other repos to your config file too. Plus flakes are pretty legit.

Regardless of if this happened or not, I was checking out SnowflakeOS for example, a Nix based distro with a focus on GUI tools.

I dont think people should be forced to think a certain way. Sounds similar to the 3rrd reich, except a woke version.

The language used is very revealing, "purge", "denounced", it sounds like Mao's cultural revolution, the useful idiots pushing this are repeating a socialist agenda and it never ends well

RIP Nix OS SN Territory.

A few months back, Hustle went on the Nix OS discourse forum to see what was going on with the community. The rest is history.

I don't know WTF is going on here but generally I tend to stay clear from activist organisations as they are more focused on SJW activity than actually improving their product and UX.

Is it open source? Someone should make an anti-woke fork.

Too bad ~nixos is archived. Maybe the territory will be revived.

I wonder how this saga will impact (publicly traded) corporations that have adopted Nix
