I’m not defending this guy, and yes, as I stated laws can be changed to account for new technologies and new definitions of public spaces and privacy rights.
The point I’m making is that people shouldn’t start altercations that may have permanent consequences over their anger control problems, including the woman in question.
You can’t put your hands on people unless they put their hands on you first, tough guy.
Are we talking about the hypothetical being posed or a different one?
TLDR: The law and it’s philosophical/moral foundation and practical application doesn’t run on what you think, and society is better for it.
Once again, the law says you aren’t protected from being recorded in a public space, attractive or not. There’s a plethora of ways to legally record people overtly and covertly in public. The law also says you can’t grab other people’s stuff and destroy it to prevent being recorded.
If the guy was assaulting her or disturbing the peace, she’d be justified in using violence to defend herself. She also had the option to talk to a cop and accuse this guy of harassment, which he was doing and others may have recorded evidence of that. But one is not morally or legally justified in starting fights, only finishing them as self-defense. The amount of force legally acceptable falls under the umbrella of the concept of “reasonable application of force” within what’s commonly known as a “force escalation continuum”.
So, no “creeps” shouldn’t be allowed to record women as that would constitute harassment, but it’s better to go through proper legal channels than pretend to be a tough-guy/girl and start an altercation that may have permanent consequences.
The Corporatist Oligarchy wants him in the presidency (for now).
I can see an angle when refusal is going to escalate things badly for reasons that could be understood.
Whatever “angle” you see is your mind trying to justify forcefully grabbing someone’s property to destroy it.
I don’t like surveillance either.
But you can’t go around forcefully breaking other people’s stuff unless it threatens your well being at that moment.
Her “ass-kicking” would only be acceptable to the point where she could be detained and arrested.
The guy with smart glasses could also be arrested and charged with disturbing the peace depending on what his exact actions were and if there’s recordings of him.
Forcefully grabbing someone’s property to break it is assault.
Fuck internet points.
When in public, you can be recorded. Your permission isn’t required. Public spaces belong to all. People have the right to film, take photos, and record audio. If you don’t want that, campaign for legislation to change it. “Rudeness” isn’t a legal term. If you can’t tolerate being recorded in a public space, even “rudely”, leave. Go somewhere else. If you assault someone recording you in public, you will potentially get the shit kicked out of you by that person, bystanders, and/or cops.
The state, in a legalistic framework, has a near-monopoly on justified escalation to physical violence. The person recording you has to be assaulting you first or disturbing the peace to a degree that it endangers you or other people’s safety in order for your violence to be justified as defense.
You can’t start a fight legally, but you can finish one. “Rudeness” isn’t a good enough reason to start swinging.
So again, control yourself.
If you’re in a public space, people may be filming you.
It’s a PUBLIC space, not yours. Your lack of self-control will rightly get you fucked up if you assault the wrong person, and there’ll be a good chance of everyone watching a satisfying video of you getting punched while trying to take someone’s phone.
TLDR: Control yourself, tough guy.

I think “coasting” is a bit too strong.
Furthermore, to clarify, I think people should be allowed to be dicks (verbally). I also think they should face the consequences of being a dick.
Nerfing “toxic” language with the weight of law is too much, but public shunning and/or an employer’s ire are absolutely consequences that people should face with the same stoic fearlessness that they purport to have when they’re being dicks to other people. In this case, (I think) he is the owner of the kernel repository. His word is in fact law when it comes to pull requests. He can be a dick if he wants to, so long as it complies with Finnish law on slander, libel, inciting violence, etc. And, of course, we, the public, are free to judge him on it.
I read what he said. I also read the pull request in the code that he was talking about. I also noted how late the pull request was submitted. He’s harsh but also absolutely right, in this case.
What I can’t stand is the performative pearl clutching and virtue signaling that people love to masturbate to.
It’s a simple premise. As said in the gif I posted, “He’s outta line, but he’s right.”
Fuck that.
Too many people with brittle spirits performatively clutch their pearls to the point of banality when they’re called out on it.
Operational security requires robust peer review of codebases and their potential vulnerabilities. Small distributions haven’t had the scale of scrutiny required to entrust them with incoming, outgoing, and stored private information.
Linus doesn’t have to be a dick all the time. However, as I get older, I begin to understand the wisdom behind a monologue in Team America: World Police more and more:
We’re dicks! We’re reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don’t like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn’t appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves… because pussies are an inch and half away from assholes. I don’t know much about this crazy crazy world, but I do know this: if you don’t let us fuck this asshole, we’re going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!
In this case, Linus is a dick who fucks when it’s not appropriate a lot (i.e., is harsh in his critique about bad code in pull requests). Assholes push bad code, and sometimes it’s so bad that it’ll fuck up the whole kernel. Pussies in tech magazines criticize his style of critique. Other pussies get “butt-hurt” because they code like shit too and they can’t or won’t admit it, and they’re so full of shit, they’re pussies who’ve become assholes themselves.
The code in question is, in fact, garbage.
x11vnc, when I finally come back to it after trying damn near every remote desktop application on the market:
I use X11 over Wayland on KDE Neon for RustDesk compatibility. The Wayland support for that application is still in Beta from what I understand.
Are there other reasons why I should keep X11? I am on AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with a RTX 3090 FE on 570-open drivers, for reference.
I don’t know what’s so hard to understand about “you’re not allowed to put your hands on someone unless they put their hands on you first”, but go off, I guess.
