What has God to do with SQLite?
- allanmacgregor 8y agoBest I can tell is satire
- lazyloop 8y agoDangerous not to make that more clear if true.

- jxcl 8y agoIsn't the whole point of good satire that it's not immediately evident whether it's a joke or not? Regardless, I don't see how this satire could be considered dangerous.
- cm2187 8y ago> Regardless, I don't see how this satire could be considered dangerous. Watch the twitter mob forming outside the window!
- danielvf 8y agoYou can watch the mob forming in realtime. https://twitter.com/search?q=sqlite&src=typd https://twitter.com/search?q=sqlite&src=typd > "I hope there are discussions at REDACTED today about whether featuring SQLite on their front page is consistent with their values." > "The message is clear: if you're concerned about diversity, decency, and inclusiveness, stay well away from the SQLite project." > "I wonder if SQLite Consortium member organizations @mozilla, NDS association, @BentleySystems, @expensify, @business were consulted on this move." > "This is the as*le: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._Richard_Hipp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._Richard_Hipp … (thanks @weigandtLabs for finding that out). He _is_ the main SQLite dev. And that's the community he's building. So SQLite is now dead -- or, at least, it should be."
- cm2187 8y agoPathetic. I am not a user of twitter precisely because I have no interest in reading those sort of reactions. But I am strangely fascinated by this continuous stream of 1st degree, knee jerk reactions, it's kind of like watching shit flowing out of a bull's ass...
- OskarS 8y ago47. Keep death daily before your eyes. Oh, don't worry SQLite, I do. I fucking hope it's satire. Even so, this page should be nuked from orbit. It's shocking that SQLite would allow such a page on their domain.
- benjohnson 8y agoIf you're curious - this practice is so you don't squander your life. Reminders of death are uncomfortable so we tend to avoid them - but they can properly spur us to life with vigor in the time we have. When I was an athiest, I thought it was good advice at the time.
- wyclif 8y agoI must inform you that this is not satire.
- empthought 8y agoAbout as much as pronouns have to do with FreeBSD.
- jdauriemma 8y agoCould you elaborate on that?
- cholantesh 8y agoFreeBSD's CoC abjures deliberate misgendering. Apparently, this is cause for serious concern among some programmers.
- cultus 8y agoSo you think it is bad for folks in the FreeBSD project to not be able to freely insult others by misgendering them? Why is this such a problem for you? These code of conducts all boil down to "don't be a dick." It's too bad we need them, but we clearly do. Certain groups (LGBT, minorities) tend to get more abuse than others, so issues involving them are often spelled out more explicitly. All large organizations have written standards of conduct. Open source software projects these days are often large, and are made up of heterogeneous groups of people. It's obvious that CoCs can be useful just the same, to reduce ambiguity in conflict if nothing else.
- empthought 8y agoThat’s a nice set of conclusions you’ve jumped to. I didn’t say anything like what you are attributing to me. FreeBSD has their reasons and expression of the “don’t be a dick” rule, and SQLite has their reasons and expression of the same rule. I don’t see why either one is worth carping about. Both are expressions of cultural values that have nothing to do with the software being produced.

- moocowtruck 8y agowhat does anyone have to do with anything?
- catacombs 8y agoNothing. You use TempleOS if you want to talk to God.
