dr|z3d
Yeah, it's obviously an assassination. No other explanation.
dr|z3d
Apparently they lost radio contact before the plane fell out the sky. Probably a bomb or similar.
dr|z3d
Are you still banging on about LGBT orignal? Doing java development means doing java development.
dr|z3d
No one's signed up to any code of conduct regarding minority groups. We just do code :)
dr|z3d
That said, feel free to put a rainbow flag in your console if it makes you feel better, orignal.
orignal
dr|z3d no "We do support LBGT"
orignal
everybody involved into Java I2P project supports LGBT
orignal
and btw names of people sup[porting LGBT are listed on the page
dr|z3d
orignal: you're saying i2pd supports LGBT?
dr|z3d
Congratulations :)
orignal
no, Java I2P only
orignal
do you see my name in that list?
orignal
of the LGBT supporters
orignal
no you don't
dr|z3d
There's nothing new on that page that wasn't there 6 months ago is there?
dr|z3d
I don't see anything that suggests individuals on that page support LGBT, I just see a poorly worded statement at the bottom of the page. I don't think that's new, it's been like that for as long as you've been banging on about it.
Hikari
tbh as fas as pro-LGBT stances go, it's about as controversial as the one Raytheon (tagline: Uber for incindeary devices) issues every year
Irc2PGuest67015
It should be removed.
dr|z3d
This is an old discussion that orignal's decided he wants to heat up again.
dr|z3d
As I've said before, the project doesn't need a statement of inclusivity to be inclusive, and it should be apolitical. I don't run the website, notwithstanding.
Opicaak
By having this "inclusion" statement on the website, you are spliting people into two groups, those that do support it, and those that don't. If it's not there, nobody cares, thus only one group of people as a result.
Opicaak
Indeed, it should just stay clear form these statements, it's unnecessary and can only cause issues.
Hikari
only if you make it an issue
Hikari
averting your gaze costs $0
Opicaak
What kind of a statement is that? It's very obvious that not all people globally support lgtb.
Opicaak
While if no statement is on the website, noone even notices it or thinks about lbtg
Hikari
that doesn't mean you have to piss in everyone else's cheerios
Opicaak
lgbt people are pissing in everyone else's cheerios.
Hikari
dude why are you focusing on this so much
dr|z3d
I don't have an issue personally with the sentiment, but I do think it's counterproductive to actively promote minority groups on a site that really should stay out of politics and stick to software.
Hikari
is this just more closet gayness masquerading as homophobia
Opicaak
It should stay neutral towards everyone. That's my point.
Opicaak
Yes, Doc gets it.
Opicaak
"homophobia" lol, again that word. How about you look up what "phobia" actually means?
dr|z3d
Otherwise, why draw the line at LGBT? We might as well say we support the Taiwanese, the Uyhgurs, ethnic minorities, the struggle in Myanmar and all the rest of the oppressed people in the world.
dr|z3d
If you want to strip it down, I suspect that the statement was published on the site to antagonize more than anything else.
dr|z3d
(given the long standing animosity between orignal and echelon)
Opicaak
Indeed, but this could backfire. If a non-lrtb supporter sees this statement, he may turn away form even installing i2p.
Opicaak
One less transit node in the network ^
Hikari
and if pro-lgbt people see the message removed, it'd backfire more
Opicaak
No.
Opicaak
It would be neutral towards everyone.
dr|z3d
I doubt that. Most people, as Hikari is suggesting, just don't care. And most people won't bother to review the entire website, they'll just head straight for the downloads page.
Opicaak
Just saying, better stay neutral than force this agenda onto everyone.
dr|z3d
As for removal, I also doubt that LGBT people will care much if it is removed.
dr|z3d
Just because I don't explicitly state that I support LGBT doesn't mean I don't.
dr|z3d
I haven't gone out of my way to see if Tor's main site has a similar statement.. let's see if it does.
Opicaak
I don't believe it does.
dr|z3d
It has a general mission statement which appears to serve as their inclusivity statement:
dr|z3d
"We believe everyone should be able to explore the internet with privacy. We are the Tor Project, a 501(c)(3) US nonprofit. We advance human rights and defend your privacy online through free software and open networks."
dr|z3d
And: "To advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding."
Opicaak
Yeah, that's rather different than what's on i2p's website. What Tor has is more general and neutral.
dr|z3d
Sure, and maybe it serves as a useful template. It neither alienates nor promotes any particular group or special interest.
Opicaak
Precisely.
dr|z3d
As an aside, it's always annoyed me that echelon never bothers to get someone else to check his published statements before he puts them online. Regardless of the content, the grammar of that statement is dire.
dr|z3d
I propose we have a new language offered on the website, spaghetti English.
Opicaak
Agreed, I imagine establishing a small quorum that decides what goes on that website and what doesn't would be very beneficial for i2p.
T3s|4
hmmh...I have no problem with the insignificantly small LGBT segment of the population ASSUMING they remain in non-proselytizing mode, including they offer NO child-facing drag queen shows. I do have a major problem when the very tiny 'tyranny of the minority' attempts/demands to supplant the opinion and common sense of the overwhelming majority of the population. Case in point: Ask
T3s|4
Bud-Light, re: Go Woke, Go Broke.
T3s|4
Opicaak: Please don't argue in favor of censorship = ALL opinions matter, let the larger crowd of users decide: 'Agreed, I imagine establishing a small quorum that decides what goes on that website and what doesn't would be very beneficial for i2p.'
Opicaak
You missed the point. But you do you.
orignal
so Java developers
orignal
if you support LGBT it's fine and it's only your choice
orignal
if you don't support LGBT but listed on that page and keep developement your are a cuckold
orignal
if you can't restore the status-quo
orignal
if you don't do it because you are beging paid by Nazi, you sold your ass too cheap
orignal
dr|z3d it's old discussion, but no changes and gradpa is not back
orignal
I suspect that grandpa has made his decision because of this
obscuratus
This discussion is so much like the 7th and 8th grade, it makes me feel young again.
T3s|4
orignal: my apologies of you took my comments the wrong way. I must have been disconnected (or missed) your Java dev comments, which are obviously completely unrelated to personal sexual/gender choices
T3s|4
Opicaak: which point did I miss?
orignal
T3s|4 I'm talking to dr|z3d only
orignal
the sitatation is
T3s|4
np orignal - thanks
orignal
grandpa has decided to leave for unknown reason
orignal
telling me for 6 months
orignal
after 6 months he is not back
orignal
allegely it's was the problem with Nazi and this statement
orignal
that's why I brought it back now
dr|z3d
Your logic is flawed, orignal.
dr|z3d
echelon published the statement on the website without consultation. There was no "buy-in" from any of the developers listed on the page.
orignal
as I understand the situation grandpa tried to talk to him
orignal
who cares? you see the list of people and it says "we(people above) do support LGBT"
orignal
in my opinion grandpa didn't want to be a cuckold and decided to let someone else develop the project
dr|z3d
Well, you said it yourself. Who cares? But the point remains, when you're saying the listed developers all support the LGBT inclusion statement you're wrong.
orignal
who care? External people reading this page
orignal
I'm saying that if you are involved into a project with such statement you do support LGBT
orignal
either developers support it and it's true
orignal
or they don't but contninue debvelping and can't clear the situation with Nazi
orignal
what are them?
orignal
e.g. if you don't support LGBT why are you involved
dr|z3d
Listen, and listen carefully. echelon posted the statement, consulted no one. Therefore to extrapolate his statement as a statement agreed by all developers listed on that page is wrong. Most of the people listed there do not have write permissions on the website repo.
dr|z3d
It's unfortunate that no one was consulted before he published the statement.
dr|z3d
As I've said before, his time would be better spent translating the site into his native language.
dr|z3d
What's more interesting from my perspective is where several million $ worth of bitcoin went.
orignal
then fork out the project
orignal
and let him develop alone
orignal
especially he is not able too
dr|z3d
Is my name listed on that page? I'll give you a clue. No. And if you hadn't noticed, I already have a fork :)
orignal
it's easy
orignal
if Nazi is not going to listen to anybody
orignal
I'm not talking about you
orignal
but Java-I2P developers listed there
orignal
my point is
orignal
if Nazi is so dumb leave him alone
orignal
literrally
T3s|4
hmmh - in most developed countries, a full investigation and accounting would be required when millions 'go missing': What's more interesting from my perspective is where several million $ worth of bitcoin went.
orignal
you mean bitcoins "stolen" from Nazi
orignal
?
dr|z3d
I have no idea where they went, though I heard rumors that they'd be stolen, never substantiated with any official statement.
dr|z3d
I just remember that one day the accounts were published in the site, the next day they weren't, and the ~1000 or more bitcoins listed very soon became "the project has no money".
Irc2PGuest17631
Fuck, not sure if you can see my message, I'll resend it.
Irc2PGuest17631
Doc, your name is on the list.
Irc2PGuest17631
In the past devs list.
dr|z3d
I don't think it matters either way. I think the entire argument is overblown, though as I've previously stated, I'd prefer that the project isn't politicized.
T3s|4
dr|z3d: despite BTC's ~10.65% NEGATIVE 1 month slide, 1K BTC is still worth well north of $25.5 Million USD. So are we talking about one of the greatest financial heists in history?
orignal
I prefer grandpa to be back. That's all
dr|z3d
Yes, orignal, we all miss zzz. :)
dr|z3d
Have you sent flowers and chocolates?
Opicaak
I2P was donated 1k btc? To whom?
orignal
By whom you mean?
orignal
by zlatinb
Opicaak
Zab donated 1k btc? Damn, and to whom?
Opicaak
To zzz?
dr|z3d
It would have been to echelon, the project treasurer at the time.
Opicaak
I see, thanks.
dr|z3d
This was over 10 years ago.
Opicaak
Is the transaction known?
dr|z3d
The donation was for 2K bitcoin iirc.
orignal
to I2P project
dr|z3d
That's not the point, anyways. The point is that until a few years ago, the project had significant bitcoin holdings. And then it didn't, and it wasn't clear, still isn't, where they all went. Then zzz stated that the project had no money.
orignal
"they disappeared" )))
Opicaak
Is it known when they "disappeared"? What year?
T3s|4
in Dec 2021 (20 months ago), 1K of BTC could have been sold for ~$65+ Million
RN
zab was my friend, he is now zlatin and is not my friend. I will not call him "zab" any longer. However I recall him saying it was 1,000 btc
dr|z3d
You may well recall better than me, then. My memory is hazy.
RN
and orignal, bringing this up in a place where echelon can't see is just inflammatory and makes your motives appear suspect.
orignal
RN he bans evevrybody who brings it
orignal
many people tried
orignal
and I'm banned on all his channels here )))
RN
on the contact page, each name is assigned a specific role, so those who are responsible for the statement would be the site operator and the P.R. people
orignal
and they all "do support LGBT"
RN
all others are only associated with their specific function and not the statement
RN
yes he has been unapproachable on the subject.
Opicaak
Is echelon himself part of this group?
orignal
and my question is not to him
orignal
my question is to Java-I2P developers
RN
meanwhile, back at the ranch, low BSR% accross the board... 45%,37%,38%
RN
anyone else seeing low numbers?
Opicaak
i2pd TCSR 49%
T3s|4
RN, 53% on one and 57% on the other
T3s|4
but never stable and highly variable
RN
thanks Opicaak and T3s|4. Yes they do vary quite a bit. But when I see three routers all low at the same time it gets my attention.
T3s|4
RN, ofc and understood
