  • I get the mistake. Wouldn’t even call it one tbh, just an oversight. But when someone points it out normally one doesn’t reply with “don’t force your political views onto me” as if non male devs was some weird “woke” concept. A simple “whoops, missed that” would have been perfectly fine and everyone would’ve moved on. With that said, having followed the whole debacle I can say it could have been handled better by both sides.


  • The problem was more the fact that the devs viewed using anything other than ‘he’ as political, not the presence of gendered language itself. The devs themselves made a big deal about changing it. The way I see it, it’s not even about trans people. How about just women? Is including women in software developent considered political? One would hope not, but here we are…

















  • Oh I’m dead tired of it too, I can assure you, but banning a party is not an actionable solution; heavy regulation for polititians and political parties is:
    in terms of the donations they can and can’t receive, the behaviour they need not to engage in, requiring a perfectly clean record (that includes corruption as well) and so on. Decisions should be backed by science and not ideology, religious discourse that isn’t about inclusion should be banned. Oh and no more lobbying for crying out loud.

    Hopefully the new supreme court reform gets the US one step further towards that.

    I with all this also was a purely American issue, but alas… Europe has to deal with all this crap as well…
