Last week, Phoronix broke a story about the kernel DRM group over at FreeDesktop.org submitting a pull request for their code of conduct to be included in the kernel docs for the DRM subsystem. The next day it was merged.
I'm particularly interested in if they think this will keep Linus from saying hurtful things to them over lousy code. Discuss.

Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct [freedesktop.org]
Some suspicion that FreeDesktop will be relieved of any harsh criticism. Instead reality will bite, hard. It tends to be reality correct and have no mercy for bullshit.
Some takes on the guidelines .. :-)
Using welcoming and inclusive language
Get a f-cking clue.
Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
Don't code like a Microsofter.
Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
You are wrong, again. RTFS. Your experience is irrelevant.
Showing empathy towards other community members
I think all your code is a security shithole. Kind of like Intel strnnnnnncmp(),
The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
Grow some balls, wanna try mine?
Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
This isn't barbie coding, you little safe spacer.
Public or private harassment
Your "if( a = b )" assigns instead of comparing!
Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
Human resource drones at Big Corp, go away.
Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
You are wrong.

I have to reply to say thank you for this post. It made me laugh quite awhile, not just because it's funny (it is funny to me at least), or true, but because of how you wrote it.
Thanks again.

Really?
I thought it was the biggest whiny snowflake post in the entire discussion.
A bunch of projection, grievance and smugness all wrapped up into one completely non-self-aware diatribe.

The problem is so many people have too high thoughts about their technical abilities. And will try to shoot the messenger and regulate them.... The only thing that works with nature is experience and intelligence but nature is still circumstantial and consequential without exception. So people still need to be humble at take their mistakes as a learning experience not an offense. Talent is not evenly distributed, it's just life. No exempts for busy people or snowflaking.
All these SJW, codes and HR departments just complicates direct and efficient communication. Something that can't sustain itself but like a parasite attaches to any large organization. It becomes like a smiling theater that has no substance.

What if you want to know if the value of the variable D is equal to eight?
8==D
