ā¦before you hand your lean browser hopes to andreas kling, remember that the dude is a transphobe who hides his transphobia behind the āthis is political and thus should not have place hereā language.
for example, andreas kling thinks that asking to use inclusive or gender-neutral language is, and i quote, āadvertising one's personal politicsā and thus not an appropriate request to be made towards a project.
@mawhrin When someone tells you that they're āapoliticalā this means that they're hiding their politics for some reason.
Edit: having āladyā in the name makes this twice ironic.
Edit 2: also-also saying that the browser is ātruly independentā makes me facepalm. And now I'm really tempted to troll about the name.
@mawhrin as one of the few trans* and more queer authors of SerenityOS I want to express my concern with calling Andreas a transphobe over that.
I think my friend and fellow trans* SerenityOS author @filmroellchen summed it up best in her recent blog post about Andreas stepping down as BDFL: https://filmroellchen.eu/blog/serenityos-changes/
@mawhrin Ah yes, keeping politics out of the political software movement. š
Funny how it's always "personal politics" when it clashes with a right-winger's worldview.
@jankais3r find me an example for preferring non-inclusive language in a software project where it's not directly motivated by prejudice.
now ask yourself a hypothetical question, would you ā what would motivate you to call a change from male-by-default to gender-neutral language an expression of āpersonal politicsā that should not take place in a software project?
@mawhrin The sentence in question (āTo prevent this, remove `anon` from the `wheel` group and he will no longer be able to run `/bin/su`.ā) does not even refer to a user-person, it refers to a user-account. So if we want to be pedantic, the sentence should use āitā.
Hence, I am not surprised that a pull request from a total stranger that contributes nothing to the project besides an equally incorrect pronoun use compared to the current state is perceived as bad faith effort by the maintainer.
In general, we should avoid putting labels on people based on our assumptions if not 100% backed up by their actions.
@jankais3r the sentence refers to the person using the system; it is useful to remember that the operating systems are not abstractions, they're written to be used by people.
(my reply here states my position and does not indicate that i'm interested in debating or litigating the issue; if you feel compelled to continue, please remove me from the mentions. thank you in advance.)
Sorry .. don't get me wrong but ... i don't get it.
Sure, what you're asking is legitimate.. no questions about this.
But why do you need to bother ppl with _feature_ request instead of reworking the code and documentation by sourself and just submitting a pull request to get it integrated?
I'm not just an ally but lgbtqia+ too ... but why should i or some random dev do the work for you?
@mawhrin I'm not remotely surprised. Ever since I learned about his "no politics" rule and the fact that he laughs at codes of conduct (he made a joke COC for Serenity then deleted it claiming it "was for a problem that didn't exist) his whole demeanor started to rub me the wrong way.
I made this toot a few days ago, primarily for posterity, because when the other shoe drops I want to be able to say "I told you so" (purely for egotistical reasons):
