I don't understand, equality of opportunity cannot mean (enforced) equality of outcome - equality is not equity by default, it means an equal opportunity to prove oneself. A meritocracy provides equality of opportunity. anything else is not equality.
The problem with open source projects is they have been infiltrated by SJWs. I switched from Linux to FreeBSD to get a away from the Linux wokesters and looks like FreeBSD is no saner. I give up on free software, I will just buy a Mac computer and find another hobby.

+xyzzy At least Greg answered the question. Yeah, it's a shit, inaccurate & completely illogical pile of word salad, but still an answer none the less. That puts him higher on the metaphorical meritocracy higherarchy than you. He got a d- for effort. You get an F for fuck all. Anyway, +Patrick Michalina, a Meritocracy is a hierarchal structure where position is based on merit. For example, take any average workplace. Those whom preform best rise to the top of the hierarchy while those whom perform worst fall to the bottom. Or a better example is any form of competitive fields such as sports. The best performing team wins the championship while the worst performing team washes out before any form of semi finals / playoffs. In short, performance = merit. The better your merit is, the higher on the hierarchy you are. So a meritocracy is a communal hierarchal structure that rewards performance & productivity aka merit by rewarding those whom earn said rewards through merit, aka hard work, intellect, talent, skill, honesty, integrity, etc... While withholding reward from those whom lack merit, aka those whom perform poorly, are intellectually dull, lack talent, skill, work ethic, lacks integrity or honesty, etc... As for Greg's nonsense about "being the biggest bully, fake news, male-bullies against non-male connectivity, etc..." This is one of the dumbest things I think I have ever read. I mean it literally makes as much sense as that SJW satire video in a classroom where 2+2= "multiculturalism" instead of 4. Either Greg is shitposting & being deliberately stupid as their own form of satire, or really is that stupid & should probably stop wasting oxygen with their existence.
open source has always been kinda commie, the idea itself is rather commie and the licenses are literally called copyleft, but unlike communism, this shit can actually work, especially as there's more companies and competent developers jumping on board, we just need to sometimes make compromises to account for the more opinionated individuals
The problem at the core of the issue is a belief in a spontaneously organizing chaos, like evolutionary theory. Everyone knows on one hand that someone must make the decisions, create the plans, weigh the options and do the thinking, but while that happens, everyone pretends that it's just chaos organizing itself.
@@DMSBrian24 Open source is explicitly anti-capitalism. It's liberalism (in the classical sense). You can do whatever you want. What the woke community is trying is to make it less open, limit your freedom. This stuff is anti-open source, because it's more communist.
The worst part about this presentation is "FreeBSD is big" part. Comparing Linux and FreeBSD in this way, is like comparing Chevy Camaro's engine to a whole assembled Tesla car. Of course the code base is big, but have you ever took a look at the BLOATED code base of GNU+Linux source codes? I personally worked on different Linux distributions and I also made one. The base got way bigger than a custom FreeBSD.
Wow! This video really impressed me. Most of the time you talked about code of conduct, soft skill and dealing with other people. Not many people in the open source software "community" realize that soft skill are at least as important as the hard skills. I keep my fingers crossed for this project.
Soft skills for soft brains get taken over by gestapo thugs who can't even be honest with themselves over the injustice they cause. Get on our level, intellectual.
reading/hearing stories about abrasive 10x devs like lennart and matthew dillon is disheartening in so many ways. i'm a perfectly average engineer who could never win an argument with one of them - and when the discussion devolves into management of people's intellectual vanity and feelings - including stupid people like me - there's no winning either. I don't think there's a solution. your avg. engineer will just be justifiably depressed that they're not as good, cannot defend themselves against being manhandled. they accomplish very little because none of their ideas succeed against the 10xers ideas. eventually...you just run out of steam and can't tolerate being a useless laggard.

with idiots who hate meritocracy like this in core leadership, no wonder freebsd is shitty and behindhand, and nobody with any ability will commit to it .
So Meritocracy is a bad thing now? Well if this video convinced me of anything, its not to use FreeBSD. Its hard to trust code written by people chosen for reasons other than their ability to program.
meritocracy has always been a bad thing, just an old trick to calm down the lower bourgeoisie then the midclass after the fall of feodalism and casts society models. Abilities to program is a thing that nowadays more and more people master so this isn't a priority anymore. Instead, abilities to behave positively inside a community project is often harder to learn and this skill is especially important when there is no manager/benevolent dictator to lead and chose a direction at every project crossroads.
congratulations aeroscience9834, not only did you not listen to what Benno actually said about meritocracy, you chose to stay ignorant and not do any research as to why it's an ideal that only works in a vacuum, which reality famously isn't. What is it they say ... ah yes, facts don't care about your feelings
openbsd: works great, no nonfree driver support debian: works great, nonfree driver support freebsd: buggy installer, has nonfree drivers that fail to install
I was really enjoying this talk until it shifted from BSD to politics. Are you really so incapable of coexisting with those of differing opinions that you need to disparage them when it's not even appropriate?
It is at least partially about community toxicity. There are a lot of open source communities, and people have choice about where they volunteer their time and effort. A lot of talented people don't want to spend their spare time working in a toxic environment. So, a few shitty people can push a lot of good talented people out of an existing community.
+TheSpurious Hey, I started with Linux, Ubuntu then stopped using it after they added Unity. I later then decided to go with Debian, but it didn't last long with me because of the stupid systemd. My next move was to switch to a Unix OS and make it my main OS, FreeBSD, but after watching this, I'm lost. What would you recommend?
without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page#Free_and_Open-Source_.28FOSS.29_operating_systemswithout_systemd_in_the_default_installation I recently decided to move away from my beloved Arch Linux as well, Gentoo looks like an interesting option so I'll try that in the near future.
moot point now. something something linux feefees. something something coc. sad really.... at least theo hasn't given in to all of this lunacy and openbsd remains devoid of the SJW victory so far.
@Freedom Fighter I agree with you in general, but the last statement appears to be false. In fact the toxic communities have been able to produce excellent results consistently for millennia. Feelings based organizations are jet to prove themselves, and in general, they degrade too, just in a different way. It just happens than in a very short period of time they transform into a bullying system were people of the despicable group become target and the feelings of them are not taken into account and any mention of doing so is seem stupid or violent. So it's more of a moral criteria than a productivity one.

I think it will eventually be that. Code of Conduct will likely become a tool to cull the undesirables. I mean, just look at the political winds here, They are already redefining what meritocracy means. That is straight out of critical race theory in particular. The idea is that, oppressors define what merit is as a way to oppress people and therefore it should be done away with by promoting people outside the standard definition of merit. CRT does this for the context of race and historical racism. Intersectionality does this by looking at the intersection of the race, gender, and sex - and fitting people into various contexts of oppression based on some historically defined sense of merit of these identities.
this was a great talk, and i absolutely love reading all the reactionary comments here that (ironically) only serve to further legitimize the points he's making

@@seriouscat2231 lol like what are you even talking about? no, literally all I was suggesting was that pure consensus does not appropriately filter against toxicity, bad-faith, prejudice, or other internalized human flaws. not only do these comments show that well, but so does literally every other comment section.
@@RyanMan767, you're insinuating that the views of your opponents are only based on bad faith and toxicity and therefore must be pure expressions of anger or distress and then gloat about it. What part did I get wrong?
I usually love these talks. This was interesting until he began to hijack the conference for a thinly-veiled personal attack. I'm not taking sides (they all sound toxic), but this guy just comes across as extremely childish. If he really cared about the FreeBSD community he shouldn't have done this talk at all. It makes a very bad impression.
The solution is to try to avoid all kinds of aggression. That's the part they get right. What they don't understand is that social justice warring is also a form of aggression, but a more veiled and passive one. There's a form of aggression that is in the service of enduring pain and another that is in the service of seeking pleasure. I consider Dillon slightly too guilty of the first one and the problem is that it places big positive demands on other people. But the social warriors, nothing to do with justice, are guilty of the second one. It places enormous negative demands on other people, such as that you must not be too clear, not be too honest, not be too impartial, not be too smart.

At the end, he thanks all the people who explained all the things to him he didn't understand. But not GamerGate. Which he didn't understand either. Interesting that he used the famous Anita Sarkeesian phrase, "Garbage Humans," before she did (this is month before VidCon). I wonder if she got it from him?
I'm welcomed to contribute to FreeBSD, until I trigger any of your snowflakes on twitter and you'll remove me "quietly". No thank you. The correct way would have been for FreeBSD to stay out of this and ask said girl to change her twitter handle, so her behavior does not reflect on bsd.
Watching this, it's obvious to me that this "Democratically Elected Core Team" is what's stifling FreeBSD's growth and development. Poor Matt Dillon tried to take the wheel but they actually kicked him out. For what? Having a backbone? Doing the right thing (not disabling interrupts)? The whole debacle about gamergate that led to the creation of a code of conduct is irrelevant. Matt Dillon forked freebsd to make dragonflybsd. In other words, the community fragmented. All of the development that went into dragonflybsd could have went into freebsd.
FreeBSD succeeded in implementing the fine-grained locking Matt said would take too long to get working, though. Early on, Matt was interested in competing with ZFS. Eventually, FreeBSD just adopted ZFS. Matt also likes pushing Amiga-isms into BSD. I'm not a fan of FreeBSD's politics (code of conduct), but I don't see any major technical advantages in DragonFly, nor do I think the development effort could have gone into FreeBSD instead. It's not really a matter of better or worse, just different.
@@timewave02012 meh, I guess it's a moot point. BSDs are pretty obscure and terrible anyways. Bad drivers, ports suck, kernel is lacking compared to linux, everything BSD pales in comparison to linux. The dirth of drivers alone makes BSD suck hard. Could never get freebsd to display fullscreen and full resolution on my high end PC from 2014. The well documented, clean source code is about the only good thing about BSDs, but that's only valuable to hobbyists and students looking to write their own toy operating systems.
@@steven1671 Now I'm not sure if you're trolling me. I use FreeBSD for ZFS for a personal NAS, because I migrated when Oracle bought Sun and Linux didn't have decent ZFS support yet. Hammer wasn't production-ready either, and Btrfs doesn't do the software RAID stuff ZFS does. I think Linus philosophically opposes mixing volume management with filesystem functionality. I also like BSD for routers/firewalls, because I'd rather use PF than Netfilter. It probably doesn't make sense for desktop use for all but the most hardcore hobbyists or developers, though.
@@timewave02012 Still, BSD seems pretty niche to me. I mean linux has a firewall and ZFS isn't that special to be honest. You yourself mentioned 2 other viable alternatives to ZFS (hammer and btrfs, oh and ZFS does work in linux). What can BSD do that Linux can't? I don't know. But I could probably whip up a long long list of things Linux can do that BSD cannot (mainly about drivers and software compatibility - things that are literally showstoppers for anything interesting that a computer user would want to do). I'm not trolling you. I used to be really interested in BSDs, but in the past year I came to the realization that life is too short to be playing with obscure software that hardly anybody uses (relative to alternatives). At the end of the day, who cares about this video? Or about BSD? I don't anymore.
@@steven1671 Maybe I'm still using BSD for the same reason you never started using it. I was into it as a hobby when it had more advantages in the early 2000s, but here it is the 2020s it's what I know. If I wanted to run everything on one PC, there's no question it would run Linux, but if I'm going to run a NAS or router separately from a desktop, laptop, or media PC, I'll favor BSD for file storage and networking, and Linux for hardware and application compatibility. I might even admit to using Windows for the same reasons.
This was an interesting talk until he got to the ideological BS. Anybody with any modicum of sense will see “meritocracy” as a good thing and not as the nonsensical redefinition of the word that the regressive left would like society to adopt.

@@tribemaster101 involving corporations is how you make serious progress, linux is still gpl and therefore free software, with exception of its (optional) binary blobs which are a compromise most users are willing to make in exchange for good hardware support
This is because nobody wants to do real work anymore but everyone wants to find fulfillment in some fantasy ideology. And soon the only work that gets done is in support of these fantasy ideologies.
I see nothing wrong with meritocracy and redefining it is not cool. You cannot not make something good into something bad by defining the work, which is all too common today.

In short, performance = merit. The better your merit is, the higher on the hierarchy you are. So a meritocracy is a communal hierarchal structure that rewards performance & productivity aka merit by rewarding those whom earn said rewards through merit, aka hard work, intellect, talent, skill, honesty, integrity, etc... While withholding reward from those whom lack merit, aka those whom perform poorly, are intellectually dull, lack talent, skill, work ethic, lacks integrity or honesty, etc...
As for Greg's nonsense about "being the biggest bully, fake news, male-bullies against non-male connectivity, etc..." This is one of the dumbest things I think I have ever read. I mean it literally makes as much sense as that SJW satire video in a classroom where 2+2= "multiculturalism" instead of 4. Either Greg is shitposting & being deliberately stupid as their own form of satire, or really is that stupid & should probably stop wasting oxygen with their existence.
You actually think a retarded answer is better than none at all? Boy are you fucking stupid
Meritocracy means you get employed on your skills rather than by having a sex or ethnicity the far left want to promote.

The number of people commenting, who have a problem with a code of conduct that basically tells them not to be a shithead, is staggering.
why is open source like this?
Because it has been infiltrated by commie SJWs.
open source has always been kinda commie, the idea itself is rather commie and the licenses are literally called copyleft, but unlike communism, this shit can actually work, especially as there's more companies and competent developers jumping on board, we just need to sometimes make compromises to account for the more opinionated individuals
The problem at the core of the issue is a belief in a spontaneously organizing chaos, like evolutionary theory. Everyone knows on one hand that someone must make the decisions, create the plans, weigh the options and do the thinking, but while that happens, everyone pretends that it's just chaos organizing itself.
@@DMSBrian24 Open source is explicitly anti-capitalism. It's liberalism (in the classical sense). You can do whatever you want.
What the woke community is trying is to make it less open, limit your freedom. This stuff is anti-open source, because it's more communist.
The worst part about this presentation is "FreeBSD is big" part. Comparing Linux and FreeBSD in this way, is like comparing Chevy Camaro's engine to a whole assembled Tesla car.
Of course the code base is big, but have you ever took a look at the BLOATED code base of GNU+Linux source codes? I personally worked on different Linux distributions and I also made one. The base got way bigger than a custom FreeBSD.
I don't think that comment refers to its weight in code. I think it's about BSD being unwieldy - see the comments about breaking it up.
great presentation. you speak well and I found it very informative
Wow! This video really impressed me. Most of the time you talked about code of conduct, soft skill and dealing with other people. Not many people in the open source software "community" realize that soft skill are at least as important as the hard skills. I keep my fingers crossed for this project.
Soft skills for soft brains get taken over by gestapo thugs who can't even be honest with themselves over the injustice they cause. Get on our level, intellectual.
We all are #LarryGarfield
I like how he omitted to mention how Linux moved to git 😂
reading/hearing stories about abrasive 10x devs like lennart and matthew dillon is disheartening in so many ways. i'm a perfectly average engineer who could never win an argument with one of them - and when the discussion devolves into management of people's intellectual vanity and feelings - including stupid people like me - there's no winning either. I don't think there's a solution. your avg. engineer will just be justifiably depressed that they're not as good, cannot defend themselves against being manhandled. they accomplish very little because none of their ideas succeed against the 10xers ideas. eventually...you just run out of steam and can't tolerate being a useless laggard.
with idiots who hate meritocracy like this in core leadership, no wonder freebsd is shitty and behindhand, and nobody with any ability will commit to it .
Is there a "freeBSD sucks" video series and why not?
So Meritocracy is a bad thing now? Well if this video convinced me of anything, its not to use FreeBSD. Its hard to trust code written by people chosen for reasons other than their ability to program.
The problem with open source projects is they have been infested by SJWs. Now Linux foundation is making vaccine passports with IBM.
meritocracy has always been a bad thing, just an old trick to calm down the lower bourgeoisie then the midclass after the fall of feodalism and casts society models.
Abilities to program is a thing that nowadays more and more people master so this isn't a priority anymore. Instead, abilities to behave positively inside a community project is often harder to learn and this skill is especially important when there is no manager/benevolent dictator to lead and chose a direction at every project crossroads.
@@snoopdoggydogg8591 🤡
congratulations aeroscience9834, not only did you not listen to what Benno actually said about meritocracy, you chose to stay ignorant and not do any research as to why it's an ideal that only works in a vacuum, which reality famously isn't. What is it they say ... ah yes, facts don't care about your feelings
openbsd: works great, no nonfree driver support
debian: works great, nonfree driver support
freebsd: buggy installer, has nonfree drivers that fail to install

I was really enjoying this talk until it shifted from BSD to politics. Are you really so incapable of coexisting with those of differing opinions that you need to disparage them when it's not even appropriate?
They shouldn't mess around with an official code of conduct. They should add an denunciation and public safety enforcement clause to the license.
Its called Ad Hominum.
@@unclefester9113, no. It's spelled hominem.
Meritocracy is a dirty word? That's very troubling.
do you really only care about equality of outcome? if so bsd is truly doomed.
It is at least partially about community toxicity. There are a lot of open source communities, and people have choice about where they volunteer their time and effort. A lot of talented people don't want to spend their spare time working in a toxic environment. So, a few shitty people can push a lot of good talented people out of an existing community.
+TheSpurious Hey, I started with Linux, Ubuntu then stopped using it after they added Unity. I later then decided to go with Debian, but it didn't last long with me because of the stupid systemd.

something something linux feefees. something something coc.
sad really....
at least theo hasn't given in to all of this lunacy and openbsd remains devoid of the SJW victory so far.
An update: this has reached Linux too :3
Aaaand this cancer is spreading to Linux.
@Freedom Fighter I agree with you in general, but the last statement appears to be false. In fact the toxic communities have been able to produce excellent results consistently for millennia. Feelings based organizations are jet to prove themselves, and in general, they degrade too, just in a different way. It just happens than in a very short period of time they transform into a bullying system were people of the despicable group become target and the feelings of them are not taken into account and any mention of doing so is seem stupid or violent. So it's more of a moral criteria than a productivity one.
What about Sony? Do they give back?
Nintendo also
@@mattseaton5832 Nintendo doesn't use FreeBSD, they just borrowed networking code from it (as did Microsoft). I'd be surprised if they made any substantial changes worth upstreaming to it. Sony doesn't upstream changes in Orbis, but they do contribute to Clang+LLVM. Apple has contributed to FreeBSD in the past, they contribute a lot to Clang and LLVM, but their modern OS is so far removed from BSD design wise that there's not much worth contributing these days
damn, the amount of salt in these comments about Benno having good opinions re: harassment and equality... kinda sad shit.
Because equality is a terribly idiotic ideal. Humans are not equal, have never been equal, and never will be equal. And attempts to enforce equality destroy the culture and tend to lead to mass atrocities.

"Code of conduct" seems a euphemism "to fire anyone who disagree with SJW opinions".
I think it will eventually be that. Code of Conduct will likely become a tool to cull the undesirables. I mean, just look at the political winds here, They are already redefining what meritocracy means.
That is straight out of critical race theory in particular. The idea is that, oppressors define what merit is as a way to oppress people and therefore it should be done away with by promoting people outside the standard definition of merit. CRT does this for the context of race and historical racism. Intersectionality does this by looking at the intersection of the race, gender, and sex - and fitting people into various contexts of oppression based on some historically defined sense of merit of these identities.

If he really cared about the FreeBSD community he shouldn't have done this talk at all. It makes a very bad impression.
Yeah, this dude's an enormous loser.
There's a four letter word. It starts with c and ends with uck. Still like the technical side, though.
The solution is to try to avoid all kinds of aggression. That's the part they get right. What they don't understand is that social justice warring is also a form of aggression, but a more veiled and passive one. There's a form of aggression that is in the service of enduring pain and another that is in the service of seeking pleasure. I consider Dillon slightly too guilty of the first one and the problem is that it places big positive demands on other people. But the social warriors, nothing to do with justice, are guilty of the second one. It places enormous negative demands on other people, such as that you must not be too clear, not be too honest, not be too impartial, not be too smart.
@@seriouscat2231 That is a great take on it, I absolutely agree.
@@seriouscat2231 Nah. Just handle aggression like an adult. There's no such thing as avoiding all aggression.

At the end, he thanks all the people who explained all the things to him he didn't understand. But not GamerGate. Which he didn't understand either.
Interesting that he used the famous Anita Sarkeesian phrase, "Garbage Humans," before she did (this is month before VidCon). I wonder if she got it from him?
I'm welcomed to contribute to FreeBSD, until I trigger any of your snowflakes on twitter and you'll remove me "quietly".
No thank you.
The correct way would have been for FreeBSD to stay out of this and ask said girl to change her twitter handle, so her behavior does not reflect on bsd.
Watching this, it's obvious to me that this "Democratically Elected Core Team" is what's stifling FreeBSD's growth and development. Poor Matt Dillon tried to take the wheel but they actually kicked him out. For what? Having a backbone? Doing the right thing (not disabling interrupts)? The whole debacle about gamergate that led to the creation of a code of conduct is irrelevant. Matt Dillon forked freebsd to make dragonflybsd. In other words, the community fragmented. All of the development that went into dragonflybsd could have went into freebsd.
FreeBSD succeeded in implementing the fine-grained locking Matt said would take too long to get working, though. Early on, Matt was interested in competing with ZFS. Eventually, FreeBSD just adopted ZFS. Matt also likes pushing Amiga-isms into BSD. I'm not a fan of FreeBSD's politics (code of conduct), but I don't see any major technical advantages in DragonFly, nor do I think the development effort could have gone into FreeBSD instead. It's not really a matter of better or worse, just different.
@@timewave02012 meh, I guess it's a moot point. BSDs are pretty obscure and terrible anyways. Bad drivers, ports suck, kernel is lacking compared to linux, everything BSD pales in comparison to linux. The dirth of drivers alone makes BSD suck hard. Could never get freebsd to display fullscreen and full resolution on my high end PC from 2014. The well documented, clean source code is about the only good thing about BSDs, but that's only valuable to hobbyists and students looking to write their own toy operating systems.
@@steven1671 Now I'm not sure if you're trolling me. I use FreeBSD for ZFS for a personal NAS, because I migrated when Oracle bought Sun and Linux didn't have decent ZFS support yet. Hammer wasn't production-ready either, and Btrfs doesn't do the software RAID stuff ZFS does. I think Linus philosophically opposes mixing volume management with filesystem functionality. I also like BSD for routers/firewalls, because I'd rather use PF than Netfilter. It probably doesn't make sense for desktop use for all but the most hardcore hobbyists or developers, though.
@@timewave02012 Still, BSD seems pretty niche to me. I mean linux has a firewall and ZFS isn't that special to be honest. You yourself mentioned 2 other viable alternatives to ZFS (hammer and btrfs, oh and ZFS does work in linux). What can BSD do that Linux can't? I don't know. But I could probably whip up a long long list of things Linux can do that BSD cannot (mainly about drivers and software compatibility - things that are literally showstoppers for anything interesting that a computer user would want to do).
I'm not trolling you. I used to be really interested in BSDs, but in the past year I came to the realization that life is too short to be playing with obscure software that hardly anybody uses (relative to alternatives). At the end of the day, who cares about this video? Or about BSD? I don't anymore.
@@steven1671 Maybe I'm still using BSD for the same reason you never started using it. I was into it as a hobby when it had more advantages in the early 2000s, but here it is the 2020s it's what I know. If I wanted to run everything on one PC, there's no question it would run Linux, but if I'm going to run a NAS or router separately from a desktop, laptop, or media PC, I'll favor BSD for file storage and networking, and Linux for hardware and application compatibility. I might even admit to using Windows for the same reasons.
This was an interesting talk until he got to the ideological BS. Anybody with any modicum of sense will see “meritocracy” as a good thing and not as the nonsensical redefinition of the word that the regressive left would like society to adopt.

Believe me BSDs are future. Linux now is an out of control project.

Harsh you're delusional
@@tribemaster101 involving corporations is how you make serious progress, linux is still gpl and therefore free software, with exception of its (optional) binary blobs which are a compromise most users are willing to make in exchange for good hardware support
This is because nobody wants to do real work anymore but everyone wants to find fulfillment in some fantasy ideology. And soon the only work that gets done is in support of these fantasy ideologies.
