Tell HN: SQLite changes are not innocent
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18319320Since the news that "the SQLite project has officially adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as its Code of Conduct", I feel like it's not understood how bad things really are. Here are some gems from these Guidelines:
Hurtful or harmful language related to: - Background - Gender identity or expression - Ability - Geographic location - Other attributes [...] is not acceptable. This includes deliberately referring to someone by a gender that they do not identify with, and/or questioning the legitimacy of an individual’s gender identity
or
Physical contact or simulated physical contact (such as emojis like “kiss”) without affirmative consent is not acceptable.
or
[...] we recognize that it is possible for actions taken outside of Mozilla’s online or inperson spaces to have a deep impact on community health. (For example, in the past, we publicly identified an anonymous posting aimed at a Mozilla employee in a non-Mozilla forum as clear grounds for removal from the Mozilla community.)
It's exactly the opposite as it claims to be ('inclusiveness' and 'being save'). I don't understand how these far-reaching changes are infesting the software ecosystem. I wouldn't touch software with this political attitude with a 10-foot pole professionally. Who knows what they will chose to add next week?
