DHH didn't refer to foreign-born because that's not what he was talking about. I made it very clear in the article that this is a perfectly valid definition of "native": "living or growing naturally in a particular region : indigenous".

You are not even trying to understand what DHH is saying.

This is the problem with modern discourse: people don't even listen. You don't care what DHH meant, all you care about is the hedges on speech you want to impose on others.

That's not what you claimed. You not only claimed he said there are many non-white people, you claimed DHH *literally* said that's bad.

You are assuming an implication that isn't there.

He never said "I want fewer non-white people".

Every rational person knows what happens to a city when there's a massive influx of immigrants. So we all know what he is talking about, and it's not what you wrongly assumed.

> He's literally saying that britain is now bad because there's too many non-white people living there.

No, he didn't. That's something you are hallucinating he said.

That's what wokeness does to open source projects.

I was banned from the RubyGems project by simply saying "no satisfactory resolution from the development team".

Now woke people are walking away from RubyGems because Ruby Central wants to align with DHH. I say good riddance.

Software should be about technical merit, not ideological agendas.

There's nothing racist there.

Wrong. You don't need a CoC to do moderation.

All CoC's are ever used for is to silence people the moderators don't like.

Wrong. The fork was planned since a long time ago.

New comment by felipec in "Rust doesn't belong in the Linux Kernel"

felipec — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 10:23:58 +0000

There is Rust support and there is a couple of small drivers, that's about it.

The decision being disputed is not going to be affected by the shenanigans of Hector Martin, the process is going to be followed as usual.

David Airlie summarized it nicely:

> That is the process we are committed to, everyone has a voice and gets to be heard, and we move forward in the appropriate manner with each maintainer. Bypassing maintainers is the last resort, not engaging at all with maintainers isn't a productive way forward either. Your below attempt is trying to create a technical solution to a social problem.

So the technical discussion is going to continue in order to attempt consensus and the leadership (i.e. Linus Torvalds) is going to step in only if no consensus is achieved. He is waiting for the discussion to play out.

Everyone is going to be heard, including maintainers who openly admit they don't want Rust in linux.

Linus didn't say he was the problem, he said he should consider that maybe he was the problem.

That's an invitation to self-reflection.

We all should consider that, in every discussion.

The opposite is to think that everyone who disagrees is by definition wrong, which can never be productive.

As if he didn't read the comment about not wanting the cross-language code to spread like cancer in the most uncharitable way possible.

Many people are arguing that the Linux Foundation had no choice but remove the Russian maintainers due to USA sanctions. That is not true. They had choices, and here I explain why.

The Linux Foundation is wrong about sanctions

I doubt it. Do you have an example of public code using modulo with negative numbers correctly?
