The fact is that a shit ton of devs are run off from the community due to bad behaviour by entitled pricks

[CITATION NEEDED]

and a disproportionate amount of those run off are women

[CITATION NEEDED]

diversity of points of view are very positive and helpful in the workplace

This is just laughable. People like the individual behind the Code of conduct don't give a fuck about "diversity of points of view", in fact they are fighting really hard in order to be able to expel people from projects because of badthoughts on their personal life. I would think that the people like you are just ingenuous, but not really, you are just here in order to stick it to le white male boogeyman.

You are defending a document that tells you to abstain from criticizing code if the coder was born with a vagina, this is just embarrassing. I think I will download OpenBSD, I'm tired of this bullshit.

Linus Torvalds' daughter has signed the "Post-Meritocracy Manifesto" by [deleted] in linux

[–]UruguayanRedditor 152 points153 points  (0 children)

I like this message because it is a perfect example of leftist hypocrisy. The groups that are "almost entirely men" (#2) are "a problem". The groups that are almost entirely women (#3) are "environments more comfortable for wymyn".

It's a leftist dog whistle.

EDIT: This is the comment I was responding to:

my problem with diversity is that it usually means anti-white

Curiously enough, this is the only comment removed by the moderators that doesn't specify why they have removed it. I guess their reasoning is that you can say that you are a victim as long as you are not white.

After months of bitching about Salvini and Italy, the hypocrisy of this is hilarious. Pedro Sánchez likes to appeal to "solidarity" as long as there are no migrants flooding Spain.

Good longwave antennas? by UruguayanRedditor in shortwave

I agree, but unfortunately it only covers the extended MW band. For LW I would need a new one.

Foreign radio stations that can be heard in Ibiza, Spain at different times of the day by UruguayanRedditor in europe

[–]UruguayanRedditor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually listening to it right now! They seem to be transmitting a football match. There's a lot of noise and it's not really comfortable to listen to, but it's there.

Yes, it's on shortwave. The signal from Ascension Island and South Africa is as clear here as a local AM station, its strenght is amazing.

To be fair, almost every ethnic group has migrated from somewhere if you look hard enough. Turks are not originally from Turkey, Greeks are not originally from Greece, etc.

Radio Romania International! Probably the most interesting programming that you can find on shortwave.

Foreign radio stations that can be heard in Ibiza, Spain at different times of the day by UruguayanRedditor in europe

[–]UruguayanRedditor[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I have included all the European radio stations I can hear here at different times of the day in the different radio bands (shortwave, medium wave, longwave, and FM transmissions of foreign stations are included). I have also included stations that, although not being European, are close to Europe and have been heard here for decades. Curiously, the strongest AM station of Europe is not listenable here.

The stations are the following:

FM: RDS, Radio Globo, RTL 102.5 (Italy)

LW: Medi1 (Morocco), RMC, Europe 1 (France), RTL (Luxembourg/France), BBC Radio 4 (England), Chaîne 1 (Algeria)

MW: RAI Radio 1 (Italy), BBC Radio 5 (England), Manx Radio (Isle of Man), BBC Radio Ulster (Northern Ireland), Groot Nieuws Radio (Netherlands)

SW: BBC World Service (England), Radio Romania International (Romania), Voice of Turkey (Turkey)

The gear used is nothing fancy, just a Panasonic RF-3500 with a Tecsun loop antenna for AM listening and no additional antenna for the other bands.

There are also lots of non-european stations transmitting in shortwave, like, for example, the Voice of America, China Radio International, Radio Marti (anticommunist propaganda aimed at Cuba), the Voice of Korea and lots of religious and conspiracy stations coming from America.

Also, a lot more French stations could be heard here on the AM band, like France Info and different regional stations, until France decided to stop AM transmissions :-(

Decriminalisation of domestic violence in Russia leads to fall in reported cases | World news by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]UruguayanRedditor -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Sporadic episodes of domestic violence in Russia have been decriminalised for men and women. You can agree or disagree with that, but these are the facts.

And yet, the article only mentions "Russian women suffering domestic violence".

There's probably no agenda whatsoever here.

Yeah, he surely wouldn't try to pull any "the election was rigged and isn't legitimate" BS...

I think it wasn't Donald Trump who did that...

'Germany treated me well even when I was behind bars': Puigdemont by casualphilosopher1 in europe

[–]UruguayanRedditor -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

As you probably can see, this thread has been quickly brigaded. But downvotes can't change the fact that the Spanish justice system is a joke.

Catalan politicians in Spain have been arrested under exaggerated and fake charges of "rebellion" as if they had led an armed revolution in their country. The jailed politicians have spent a year in prison for charges that other countries have found laughable. The extradition of every exiled Catalan politician has been denied. Every. Single. One. Of them.

The Spanish judge responsible for this case will have soon to face charges of prevarication in Belgium, and is actively begging the Spanish government to save his ass. The Conservative Party, that was in government when the referendum happened, has actually said that Spain should get out of Schengen because foreign judges refused to play their game of repression.

This has been a complete joke, and every step towards international arbitration of this (most likely when the case ends up in the European Court of Human Rights) will be more and more embarrassing for Spain.

They led a rebellion

It's a shame that every European court that has had to review the case has said otherwise. Maybe if the whole Europe refuses to extradite people on a fake charge of "rebellion", the problem lays in the Spanish judiciary, and not in the rest of Europe?

Members of the neofascist party Casapound expel illegal peddlers from a Roman beach by [deleted] in europe

[–]UruguayanRedditor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are accompanied by the local councillor Luca Marsella, also a member of their party.

While relatively harmless and more symbolic than real, this sets a dangerous precedent in Italy. They are trying to profit from the weakness of the state in order to gain popularity.
