Linux Plumbers Conference

The Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) is a developer conference for the open source community. The LPC brings together the top developers working on the plumbing of Linux - kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing systems, etc. - and gives them three days to work together on core design problems. The conference is divided into several working sessions focusing on different plumbing topics, as well as a general paper track.

Figured my home BTS could do with some safety signage.

@semanticist There was a bit of discussion at the time the term came into use (like you say from Star Wars), mostly from people more likely to see the bad stuff directly.

@semanticist that was definitely a *super* strong version of it, the more common version I saw was that enough people were weird about that one specific term that it set people who are more directly affected on edge when they heard it - not that everyone is being a problem, but enough people are for it to be a red flag.

@semanticist @ibroadfo_ebooks It was a bit more than that - I saw several people expressing discomfort with the enthusiasm with which people had jumped on this particular term that has a certain linguistic overlap with other slurs over other things that have been thrown out there.

@krzk @monsieuricon Yeah, the ones I saw were all OK so that wasn’t an issue - TBH seeing the AI note was helpful as it caused me (and hopefully the submitter) to double check though equally if it had been checked prior to posting then that should have been stripped out.
