It is crucial to understand and make people understand that technology is a social relationship and not just an application of physical-mathematical principles.
It is contradictory when some tech-bros argue that terms in a programming language should not be changed because the language is not ‘human‘. It is because of its artificiality that changes won’t throw the whole thing over the top and everything will still function.
The request to change terms because of their connotations alone is too much ‘human’ huh?
