Discovered this evening: a FreeBSD committer badmouthing me in an early January response to a survey.

I wish I had known about that, before I quit FreeBSD Discord a few days later: mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperri

Rewind to November 2024: the same committer abused someone else. A few days later, his mentor wrote: "… Do not make me into a baby-sitter; I will not accept this role. …"; around an hour later, he apologised for use of a diminutive term.

Frankly:

― the offender does need a baby-sitter.

I have screenshots of the offender ranting in Discord, and so on. This is why I have largely withdrawn from contributing to the FreeBSD Project.

@emaste sorry, I'll not participate in tomorrow's meeting of the Laptop and Desktop Workgroup.

@FreeBSDFoundation FYI

BSD.cafe Mastodon PortalGraham Perrin (@grahamperrin@bsd.cafe)Spirits of cooperation: their lives, deaths, afterlives, and endings … I find it increasingly difficult to handle the emotional and other aftereffects of being targeted by irrational, ugly, ad homimem abuse, from a developer, in an online working group space between 05:30 and 06:06 a few days ago. Maybe more prolonged; I quit the server, without responding to the abuser, after waking to find a bad situation made worse by a so-called moderator. This is, perhaps, not the type of group work that inspires a person. It certainly does not foster a spirit of cooperation. Rewind: I lost sleep, much more than I ever admitted, in 2023. Fast-forward to 2025: I'm losing sleep, again. Despite my best efforts, the passing of time is not improving the situation, I need to do some thing quickly to halt the tide, the thing is this post. Part of this morning's sleeplessness was spent philosophically and positively, crafting various ways in which I might sugar-coat the situation. In my mind's eye this morning was a perfunctory, factual post that ended upbeat, by thanking (but not naming) a great peacemaker who reached out to me in 2023. Less philosophically: I'm tired, I'm disinclined to sugar-coat casually-dropped turds, and ― frankly ― the tiredness, past and present, is a direct consequence of unreasonable behaviour. I'm no angel, but hey, I have a breaking point, and if you wanna get your kicks and giggles through breaking people: I'll prefer alternative spaces, where the good in people can be brought out. This is not rocket science, you shit-heads, you utter shit-heads. To anyone who might respond here: please understand that I'll probably not continue the conversation. Further unravelling in private, or public, is not the way forward. Right now, I like the idea of a quiet end to this phase of my life. Around a decade might have been long enough. I want the decade ahead to please me, and I'm suitably calmed by the idea of silently abandoning everything from 2015 to date. I abandoned masses of stuff about which I was passionate in the past, never regretted moving on, if now is another ending I'll have no regrets. I'm calmed not only by the idea of abandonment, I was also calmed at the end of my working day by using two operating systems that worked perfectly. It's now 19:15, I'm done with writing about this. Cat time :-) To future peacemakers: thank you. To casual troublemakers: I have had more than enough of your turds. Don't make me share additional thoughts on the subject.

Chaque jour on découvre que des entreprises sont craignos politiquement et qu'il faut maintenant éviter leurs services/produit.

Ce fonctionnement est assez fatigant. Ne serait-il pas plus simple si on avait une sorte de label pour les entreprises qui se sont clairement positionné dans le camp anti-fasciste ?

Une genre de charte que l'entreprise ce serait engagé à appliquer en interne. Une charte qui imposerait un fonctionnement basé sur quelques principes de base : démocratie directe, écologie, égalitarisme, multiculturalisme, féminisme, etc.

Bon il se trouve qu'un tel label existe déjà dans le monde francophone.
Que vous soyez sociétés coopératives, associations, syndicats, collectifs ou groupes informels…
