Based on the content of the linked post and the evolution of the thread here, the mod team has decided to lock this post. There is an important difference between standing up for people who are marginalized and harassment, which this thread has been more or less equating. Please deal with this topic in a more nuanced manner going forward.
Tl;dr?
Mastodon user posts about rejected change suggestion to neutral pronouns. Many critical comments get posted on the old rejected PR (arguably harassment, certainly not productive). Someone else creates a PR to fix grammar mistakes, including pronouns, it gets merged.
It was probably just a joke.
It wasn’t. Hence not being fixed three years later.
Maybe I’m missing something, but these seem to be the build instructions. What part is gendered in there?
the screenshot is for another project from the same dev called “serenity os”
here’s the thingy you’re lookin for https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814/commits/beb448fc248f1cbd82a4c68ddf72687203d4d51e
Arguably, the fix should be to “it” since anon is a utility account, not a user.
Kernel/Syscalls/jail.cppincludes the gender neutral “they” as well. Good on them for merging that PR.
I see. The developer once using a generic “he” on a different project and being snarky about it would be pretty low on my reasons not to use Ladybird, but I had no intentions to use it anyway, so eh.
Next to 0 of the people brigading the PRs and Issues have any interest in using SerenityOS either.
Github really needs better protections against harassing behaviors.
Transphobes deserve to be harassed. Don’t be a shitty person.
Yes, sink a valuable Free software because they won’t accept something you and I believe in.
It’s incredibly selfish and stupid.
Fixed 6 hours ago
lol
Just took a few years and literal internet harassment. I am glad the PR creator was able to figure out a fancy way of wording things to have it merged though. Very smart, lol.
There are two ways to manage something like this. This PR creator did all the right things. A clear explanation into the rational for making those changes citing English as a second language. Not “I’m butt hurt because you used the wrong pronouns and I demand changes now!!!1!1!11one!!”.
What a bunch of wankers you are
New Brendan Eich just dropped
What gender is the wheel user?
Wheel never know!
Wow I can’t believe the tech bro that insists on using only Twitter + Discord for his app is a total douche.
Ah, shit, I liked nim :(
additional transphobia https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/8046#issuecomment-860350155
They’re saying that the proposed gender change (in the docs) will most likely not be accepted. That’s still bullshit, but to insinuate transphobia based on this comment alone goes too far IMHO.
Also, abusing a Github issue as your personal Twitter timeline is not going to persuade anyone.
The comments in that issue are atrocious.
Meh, you still drink coffee, yes?
normally i don’t argue with randos on the internet but i typed this up elsewhere and figured it could fit here, not for your sake, but for the benefit of other users, so…
do the people who’re saying shit like “well do you not drive cars either because the auto industry is unethical” seriously not realize that contributing to free and open source software is involving yourself in a COMMUNITY? like that i’m warning people to steer clear of a shitty social space that’s been known to be hostile to our kind in the past??? i’m not just doing this for ragebait engagement farming lmao
What does coffee have to do with anything?
It was so simple, just approve the merge. Oh well.
Ah the two genders, male and political
As an able-bodied neurotypical 30-something straight white cis male with a suburban middle class upbringing and an office job, I don’t participate in identity politics.
Must be nice!
I’ve had a conservative say essentially that to me but with a straight face. He was also convinced that white, cishet meat eater men are the most oppressed minority (literally what he said).
Parodying conservative opinions is completely impossible nowadays; any quip anybody can come up with will be an actual conservative opinion, pretty much no matter how ridiculously stupid it is.
My sibling’s delightful ex-roommate–a conservative, 20something, middle-class, cishet white man–said that he feels very oppressed in their college town! He’s always scared of saying what he thinks bc then everyone will think of him badly! Literally the most oppressed! (His actual words)
It seems like I can’t even use it anyways, lol. I’m using Linux Mint and the software required to build it is outdated.
