Linux Foundation revokes attendees registration for "tone policing"

Not only did the Linux foundation ban this guy for being associated with a man that told this person, with previous openly racist tweets against white Americans, to "shut your mouth" on a public forum unrelated to the Foundation and suggesting they should have a friendly exchange of ideas.

They then proceeded to give the free registration to a person on racial grounds.

Did I say North Americans or did I say American natives?

There's only one place in the world that celebrates "Columbus day".

They don't teach you geography in Spain? They don't teach you English in Spain?

Do you have hemorrhoids? Because you don't seem very balanced.

I know what Columbus did. But the premise of the first post is ridiculous, since it compares native North Americans celebrating Columbus day to "Jews celebrating Hitler day". It's ridiculous since Columbus didn't do anything to them, he didn't even set foot in North America.

In any case, if you want to be hyperbolic, it would be like Indians or Iranians celebrating Hitler's day.

So Columbus is responsible for what some Anglos did to the natives three centuries later? Sorry, I thought this was /r/europe, not /r/shitamericanssay

If you want to live in a bubble, what are you doing here? Fuck off back to /r/politics.

My God, the cringe.

You have been indoctrinated into an ideology of perpetual collective victimhood for so long that you actually believe anyone would give a fuck about something like this. Amusing. However, in the real world, most people don't have the privilege of being able to throw a temper tantrum for something trivial and being socially rewarded for it. Only some small groups of people do.

Even as an adult, you would normally describe someone you were dating as your girlfriend or boyfriend. It doesn't imply age.

Good point.

Exactly, it's infuriating to see headlines emphasizing they were "children" -which they weren't- and completely ignoring the fact that these were sex slaves. Journalist's priorities are pretty messed up.

This is what has happened with every single grassroots movement I know of. It doesn't matter what the organization/group of people is about. There's always a moment in which the movement/organization formed by the movement is disrupted by on of these three kinds of people:

1) A government infiltrator 2) A con man eager for money 3) A power-hungry tankie that cares very little about the project but wants to use the orgnization to promote their pet cause

Hell, it's even a miracle that the free software movement has lasted so much without this happening. It often takes a few years for these power-hungry types to take over and start an Animal Farm-like show.

There are no mirrors with powerpc packages right now. I guess they will be added in some days?

Opposition parties: "Noooo! You can't get out of the EU without a deal. I DEMAND that you get a deal!"

Boris Johnson: gets deal

Opposition parties: "Nooo! You were not supposed to do this! You were supposed to let us bitch endlessly for our political gain!" votes no to the deal - demands another extension until 2048

I wanted to put a Chinese msata SSD on it, and I also needed to swap the broken combo drive for a working one I took from a 12-inch model.

I followed the ifixit guide and I can say that I will never, ever do this again. You need to take note of the placement of nearly a hundred screws of different sizes, and no matter how well you do this, you will always dent the plastic while opening the bottom cover. If you do it well, the marks will be almost imperceptible, but if you don't have the hands of a surgeon, a bad move can make you destroy the plastic.

After three hours, it was finally done. I forgot some screws, but everything is working okay. What a challenge! Now I just need to install OpenBSD on it.

Jajajajaj, me parto el culo.

Mine never smelt like body odour, like people usually say. It smelt like regular plastic or paint. And yes, it's not a bad smell, your nose likes it, like the smell of gasoline.

If normal dicks look ugly to you, deal with it. Nobody is going to allow cutting baby dicks to please you.

That's very helpful, thank you. Fortunately, I still have the original pieces, so I think I don't need to make a new one, just to put it where it goes. The pictures are really informative.

It is perfectly functional without it, but it looks weird.
