Lol, if we start excluding tech based on the inventors mental illnesses we are gonna end up bashing rocks together to make fire.
Edit: To be clear, I am not saying that being trans is a mental illness, only refuting that mental illness is not a reason to discard ones contributions. Apologies for any offence.
Pretty much lol. RMS went off the deep end so no GNU, Torvalds used to call people devil cunts so no Linux kernel. Theo probably did something to upset somebody lol. Maybe we can just use TempleOS and become computing hermits?
Goes back further than that, Turing was gay, so anything building off his works must also be transitively gay.
To add to the modern examples, Reiser murdered his wife, which really puts “devil cunts” into perspective :D
Goes back another 100 years before that. Lovelace was a woman, who in her time wasn’t supposed to be doing anything at all
Back then people still believed in the “woman hysteria” thing, right? Ngl sounds very “mental illness” to me.
Well, using the same metrics would mean TempleOS is waaaaay out of the question.
Maybe Terry Davis was the real world Wonko the Sane?
Does being the last sane man on Earth make you crazy?
About as much as having a single functional eye in a country where everybody is blind makes you king.
OpenBSD got a grant from the DoD, and then Theo posted his opinions of the post-9/11 US government, and they put a stop on the check before it even crossed the border. He pissed a lot of folks inside the Beltway off that day.
It’s so easy to be called *phobic these days. It reminds of those relationships in which people feel like they are walking on eggshells.
