The CoD essentially says: Don't be a f*cking asshole or we kick you out.
That's a nice straw man argument you got going there.
As for the part of the CoC that "bothers" you it is quite simply so that breaking the CoC may have consequences. The CoC is simply no more that if you behave like a dick we might ban you temporarily or permanent.
If I at work had written or talked like what some posters in this forum does, my boss would give me a stern talk and if I persisted I would be fired.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Did I miss the Linux developer code contributor form requiring every would be kernal code developer to declare their race, gender, sexual orientation, and personal gender orientation?
Oh that's right, no such declarative form has existed for Linux developers to complete.
I wonder, will developers need to include race / gender / sexual orientation / personal gender orientation tags or comments on submitted Linux kernal modification code so that it can be given the appropriate consideration?
Linux Development has up til now been based on the put up or shut up mentality. If you write shit code, your crap does not go into the kernal. If you become a problem, you are no longer welcome to contribute.
Seems simple enough and effective at protecting the end users who run Linux from unnecessary problems and security issues.
So now these useless (for linux development) SJWs are inserting this crap race / gender / sexual orientation ideology into yet another field where it is not relevant to the goals or community.
Unsurprisingly, it is going to accomplish the same destructive outcome we have seen in other areas where it was forcibly inserted by people who similarly were useless to the other now stricken communities.
Everyone should keep in mind that nothing happens in a vacuum.
Remember this Hardocp news blurb from 2016 -- "Microsoft Becomes Linux Foundation Platinum Member"?
And more recently Linus Torvalds is taking a break .
We may be seeing the beginning of the extinguish chapter playing out.
"Hardforum user RanceJustice had the correct idea back in 2016"

I admittedly haven't read the stuff, but it sounds like more "diversity," "inclusion," and "affirmative action" Bullshit. No system will ever be perfect, but hiring certain people just to fill a checkbox is insane. The most qualified person should get the job. I don't care if that person is blue, with red horizontal stripes for skin color. Diversity for the sake of diversity can and will cause problems in the civilian and military workplaces. In some cases, people might even die or get hurt, because the person who got the job, promotion, whatever, really isn't that qualified.
I'm all for doing whatever is possible to stop discrimination. But knee-jerk, overkill, freaking out isn't the solution.
You're right, I don't have the right to tell other people not to be dicks. However, I DO have the right to say "Don't be a dick in my house, and if you are a dick in my house, I will kick your ass to the curb." This is what Linus, and the others who signed-off on the CoC are saying. Nobody forced their way into any community; the leaders of the community decided that they wanted, and now ya'll are butt-hurt that you can't be dicks to people anymore. If people don't like the new rules, they can leave.

Quite funny how those canerous pedophile degenerates don't say the same about their pet Africans or Chinese industries dominated by Chinese. Or Indian programmers, no its da evil whites as usual, goyim!a special Code of Conduct aimed at changing the predominantly white, straight, and male face of programming.
Closest example we have is literally cancer.This is what triple parentheses they do.
If you think something is off-limits or immune to this, you are mistaken. If you think loss of money, efficiency, or expertise is a natural barrier for them, you are wrong. There is one goal and is holds primacy over any other considerations.
Look around you. Diversity for the sake of diversity -IS- happening everywhere you look. I think it would be funny if all the white, Christian males stayed home for a week/month and just let the world crumble.
White, Christian males only built a few things...... internet, phone, electricity, water treatment plants, cosmetics, ........ *.*. If you hate white, Christian males so much, STOP USING WHAT WE INVENTED! CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol. I don't know why that always happens. With the Swype keyboard gone, trying out the Gboard from Google, and I'm not impressed
Well, I'm white, and I'm male, and, for the most part, I'm the evil demographic that the SJW folks hate so much. But I'm an atheist.
And many people of hugely varied ethnic backgrounds have contributed to make the US what it is today. I'm not trying to fight for white. I'm looking for equality, without quotas. I understand where you are coming from, trust me. But it's a dangerous, slippery slope.
As an atheist, do I offend you? Think about it, please, then answer honestly.
they should code their own kernel, have them try that,These "feminist and LGBTQIA+" need to shut up and just fork their own Linux distro.
The linked 'article' itself could be spun as an timely opinion piece at best, but in reality is a dumpster fire of investigation & reporting.
Article author is anonymous. "Activists from the feminist and LGBTQIA+ communities have been trying to force the Linux project to join the Contributor Covenant since at least 2015. The Contributor Covenant is an agreement to implement a special Code of Conduct aimed at changing the predominantly white, straight, and male face of programming. CC’s Code of Conduct is controversial particularly because it allows anyone to be banned from contributing code for any reason, usually with no mechanism for oversight or accountability."
That quote there might be true but is not substantiated.
Links to SJW twitter rants (whom I all block on twitter), then uses 4chan tech board responses as 'evidence' (never though 4chan was worth anything other than to find goatse and racism), asks Richard Stallman for an opinion when everyone knows RMS only does software freedom: hence the Free Software vs Open Source clarification.
RE Linux kernel: If anyone who knows anything about Free Software / Open Source, any of the contributors to the Linux kernel could have at any time revoked their code contribution, and have mentioned or threatened it in the past 20 years over a variety of issues.
Article's replying posters are mostly anonymous.
I'm not a news poster/editor here at [H] but I would not post this article as news.
The code of conduct is essentially intended to let people scan you social media for a faux pas by egg-shell walking 'progressive' standards and force you out. It's a reign of terror over wrong-thinking non-progressives.Jesus f' H Christ
God we have a bunch of babies in this world.
If someone writes something really good. Something that's rock solid and secure with minimal resources I could care less if they hump trees and teddy bears with it.
But it has to be code that benefits everyone and not special interest. So a a special interest group should not force their way into every product just to receive representation.
Use it. God the world is f'd up at times
And how do they guilt companies into implementing this shit?
In their own words:
4. Being against the CoC means you want women, LGBTQIA+, and People of Color to be harassed
Another Ultra Liberal Agenda tactic
You either implement what we say, or you are literally Hitler.

https://github.com/domgetter/NCoCWhy not drop Contributor Covenant's COC and pick up Fantasyland Institute Code of Professionalism FCOP if a simple COC was so important to implement?
Free, open source and no social shaming.
Oh, I know why.
It's not trying to force a swishy agenda like Contributor Covenant is.

Would not be surprised if this isn't someone like 4chan trolling the Linux community for Lulz.
Can we just simply replace with the CoC with this one phrase in big, bold letters... DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE!!! Simple, to the point, and best of all... it carries none of the extraneous political bullshit.
Yes, that's why they aren't attacking apple for having too many white males.I thought SJWs only liked macOS?

You'd think the SJW's would want to stay away from Linux to keep the straight white males they hate so much away from them.
