Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    have you been to an open source convention?

    [–] Metz 22 points 8 months ago (3 children)

    Yes, multiple. I'm also in multiple FOSS user and developer groups.

    But there is no need to believe me. You can ask Github. https://opensourcesurvey.org/2017/

    Along other dimensions, representation is stronger: 1% of respondents identify as transgender (including 9% of women in open source), and 7% identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, or another minority sexual orientation.

    The proportion of the general population is 0.5 to 0.7%. So yes, it is very slightly higher, but not in the way that all the memes have been trying to portray it lately.

    I would say programmer circles tend to be progressive as well, so some over-representation makes sense. I mean, where do we expect trans women to want to work?

    It's probably more of where one can be expected to be open about not being 'normative'

    It seems to have become fashionable to over-hype it among younger more casual Linux users. Hence things like "Linux/Unix socks".

    It's quite heavily pushed in Discord servers where you'll be asked to choose whether you're a "catboy" or "femboy".

    It's quite irritating. Some of those 'femboys' can be quite homophobic funnily enough which is infuriating.

    9% of women in open source is a massive over representaion
