What does mattering mean to you?
If it's just a feeling, yeah, all lives matter.
If it's supposed to reflect reality, then no. All lives feel like they matter, but most have their importance cancelled out by other lives because humans are so predatory and unintelligent.
So let's go back to Debian case, why bringing people into the project based on their race is better than bringing people based on their competence?
Nobody involved in Debian is competent to begin with
We didn't take care of our competent coder and he died homeless being hit by a train
If you can't find another competent coder and get them to work on Debian then where do you get the right to bitch
I don't follow your logic, maybe I'm not smart enough
Terry Davis is the only coder that ever proved he had the skill to work on an OS with a GUI and everything (like a modern OS)
He died homeless being hit by a train
No matter how many black people you hire, letting the one good coder be homeless and killed by a train is the way to not bring good coders into Debian
I partially agree, but then how do you solve this problem?
For Debian, we don't solve it. Debian has always stagnated and died, and that's all it will ever do, until its name is forgotten. Ideally, people of different backgrounds feel included in the mean time.
For a future with a good OS, we need talented coders to focus on core concepts and code commentation so the human soul can keep up with what's going on while AI tries to develop a soulless version of the skills Terry Davis had.
