What did this email add to any useful debate ?...
Did we learn something new ? No
Did we get some useful suggestion ? No

I feel like someone is very frustrated and can't seem to self moderate
himself.

This is probably the part of opensource community that is the most time
consuming and more destructive for all projects, what make serious
people look at us like if we are just a bunch of kids.

What's the goal of sending a email when you repeat twice, same to you.
Talk about facts but never give any (fact = substance, not opinions).

Yes, time have changed since the last 15 years and it has also changed
since the time we used 2400 baud modem, used terminal connected to S/390
and the reign of the PDP-11. Have we adapted our software, I think so.
Why can't we adapt as human ? Some do, other seem to be into doing
retro-computing with their own brain.

You are not worth spending even this one minute to discuss anything - thats
the point!

This isn't very helpful either. What we have here is a difference in
world view. At least one of you is (and possibly both are) wrong.
Neither of you will change the other's mind.

Now, can we kindly stop wasting time and hard drive storage, and get
back to discussing Debian software?

Thank you.

You are most probably right on that :)

Looking into the details to me it seems exactly as expected. The liberal
**** hijacked Debian as they did and do routinely with many other
organizations. So now the Communist Party of Debian can rule with CoC.
Great job - makes me feel proud of Debian (ironically).
And I can imagine what will happen in the future. Debian will become like
many other companies a victim of its CoC where it is not important to
provide good software but to comply with what the communist party elite
says. This is a pandemic for itself.
I will be not surprised if I replace debian with something else in the
future. Not because I care that much about the **** CoC, but because the
ideologically motivated organization will not be able to deliver the
expected quality.

Thanks for sharing this masterpiece of rhetoric, intellect and

you are welcome (I am not stupid, just answering in the same manner)

I do not care what you do in Debian. I use and support the community as long
as it serves my needs.

Also I am ready to ignore all replies as I have found out it is not possible
to have constructive debate with .... well lets keep it for myself.

I simply know how this works - once you have the communists inside, it all
falls apart. Knowing Debian, it will take perhaps another 10y.

So instead of attacking me, just think over.

You do not care but still take plenty time to post a very long paragraph
full of nonsense which brings nothing relevant to the discussion, and
shows that you are also able to lack that ability you claim having to
have a constructive debate instead of asserting, without a shred of
argument, mocking, diminishing what you *guess* is happening.

This is rich.

You should have probably started with not posting at all, as your mails
don't make you looking like trying to have any sort of constructive
debate.

I guess this is another attempt at having a constructive debate?

I did, and I stand my point: there's nothing to save in your last
attempts to make a statement.

I do not know you and I do not insult you, so why you are doing this?
Oh, let me tell you I do not care at all. I learned to distance my self from
offends such as yours. To be honest I am fed up of guys like you.
And let me tell you something as well - I did not want to have any kind of
argumentative discussion here. I just regret the ability to have one in
general. And you are best proof of it. And this is why people like Norbert
Preining are leaving.

If you want to have one debate, you can ask for it, but hey - you are one of
those smart, morally superior *** *****, who know they are better. So you
exactly prove what I was saying.
I refuse to come down to that level of debate. If you want to have one, do
it properly - not here and not now. I enjoy my weekend, I hope you do too.

I even do not expect you will understand what I am saying - well obviously
you do not. I hope you can understand and I also forgive you, if you can
not because you are younger (although with 30 you could perform better). 

Once you wake up in a full totalitarian system you yourself created, you
will probably and hopefully understand what I was saying, but first it will
be too late and second at the moment any discussion with you is pointless. 

It is disappointing that people like you demand respect, but are not ready
to give such. I am sorry for you.

Honestly, if I were to summarize what I'm feeling right now, it'd be
something like
https://thumbs.gfycat.com/PowerfulLegitimateBichonfrise-max-1mb.gif

I'm having a lot of fun, but it's the fourth time in a few hours that
you're making a fool of yourself, and if I were to keep up it would
become quite cringe.

I'll therefore stop there (don't refrain to reply one last time, my
basket is still half full).

But to be clear:

I never demanded respect from you, and this one is rich, too.

Enjoy your weekend! :)

This is a mailing list, not a airport. No need to announce any departure.
If you feel there's something better then go for your own faith.

The basis of community based software is pretty simple :
If you ain't happy you have two possibility
1. Use something else
2. Make a fork and do the modification you feel like needed

That's all the spirit behind GPL / LGPL.

No need to bring in politics and other ideas that only live inside your
mind.

Maybe you are still living under the ruling of McCarthyism ?

Thanks for the show, you seem very good at writing scripts so why don't
you now try to write code and fill in what's needed to make the software
meet your need.

I won't be the only one happy to see the new distribution that you will
be the master head behind. Hope you'll be reactive with bug fixes and
all the problems you expect other to do for you.

Debian has always been ideologically motivated for the 26+ years I've used it.
Most of the ideology has been around creating a good Linux distribution
based around Free software. Our ideology on licence terms is well known.
The Debian Free Software Guidelines and Social Contract have been out
there as our gold standard. if you're a Debian maintainer or developer,
you're expected to sign up to these as part of the conditions of holding 
that status.

Likewise the Code of Conduct: most projects now have a Code of Conduct
attached to them. This one was voted on and accepted by the Debian 
developer community. It's fairly straightforward: I reference it in 
the FAQ posted here monthly. 

Much of it comes down to treating people with respect and being constructive.
This series of posts from you is on the edge of acceptable. Please consider
that this list is publicly archived all over the place: please also
consider that this list, Debian IRC channels and other Debian media
are governed by the Code of Conduct.

The basis of community based software is contributing consstructively to 
the community, as you've outlined. Debian is a volunteer organisation -
we can't force people to contribute. When they do, we ask them to be 
constructive - to disagree with positive intent and not to dig at each
other - not to push people's buttons just because you can.

That often fails - but we try to make a helpful, constructive atmosphere.
Everyone can get frustrated, annoyed that someone just isn't seeing their
point - angry - at some time or other but that isn't helpful in the long term.

Much of Debian is text based communications: all sorts of people in all sorts
of situations and it's easy to propagate misunderstandings. On the
(increasingly) rare occasions when we get together for something like a 
Debconf - we discover we're also a social organisation of real people.
You get to see people and hear them - or think "Wow, XYZ is a giant" or
"Hey ABC has multi-coloured hair - wow, I didn't know that from their 
avatar" 

We get people sharing with the lists that they're sick in some way, we
mourn with the families of our colleagues who die - we're human. We 
get to be happy when people show photos of their brand new baby, or their
hobby - they become three-dimensional. Text messages don't show that -
but attitudes do. With enough time, you flesh out real people behind
the interactions.

You resume it quite right, for community software to go forward there's
a need to have a higher demand on a Code of Conduct and other "social
standards" because the software is socially built if I can say it this way.

This oppose to commercial software or commercial companies. If you don't
like much your job, you'll still contribute because your pay is needed
for you to pay groceries and your home.

When you give your energy to a community based project, you get two
things back. The first is some work done and the second is pride in what
you do. That's it.
Yes in some case maybe your boss benefits from what you contribute to a
project but that's in no way linked to the project itself. This applies
if the business your work for kind of loan you as employee to put hours
on the project.

But even there, there's a even better need for cooperation and this can
only be enforced one way. With a code of conduct.

No one want to invest time in any project to get back a basket of
comment of the type :
There's the red army around
All the problems in the world are caused by democrats
The world is doomed...
etc.

If we'd want such type of comment then we'd watch TV and choose of the
appropriate channel to meet our expectation.

The goal if to have a safe space for everyone to be able to contribute.

Not everyone has the infinite patience you have.

There was a time we'd keep toxic people because they we're good
contributor or had good skills. Now we discovered that this cause more
problem on the long term and even less productivity because other don't
want to join.

This is not part of what's called the past on the line of time.

Thanks for the good work.

Typically such (mostly off-topic) threads on d-u happen right before a 
major Debian release, when everybody is waiting for the new stable and 
there aren't many technical questions.

For this thread to happen so shortly *after* a major release, to me this 
indicates there aren't many problems with bullseye \o/.


Kind regards,
Andrei

Honestly, why do you even post this?  Noone is preventing anyone from 
trying or using other distros.  Noone should treat Debian or Linux or 
any other distro as anything more than a tool.

You have a great news for all of us !
Debian's the best and most stable distribution I have know of.

I didn't have problem with Bullseye...
But didn't have problem with Buster either...
