      I think he misinterpreted it as a complaint made on political grounds, when it seems to have been made on the grounds of perfectionism.

        Not really perfectionism just grammar

        I think the fact that using a neuter pronoun is so charged that we can’t even speak or write our language correctly is insane.

        I’ve written thousands of technical documents, if you are referring to a generic operator / user / whatever the correct term to use is “they.” That’s how you say “the person that I’m referring to that I don’t know anything about”

        There was a brief madness in the 90s when fucking morons used “he/she” for absolutely no reason.

          Honestly I don’t even care when humankind is referred to as ‘Man’. People don’t (want to) get that in this context it is meant inclusively to refer to all humans, and not just physically men. It’s ‘man’ for historical reasons and its interpretation should change with time just like with that of eg. the constitution.

      I used to really enjoy his Linux Sucks speeches, but man, not sure if younger me wasn’t paying attention or if man went real off the deep end around 2019.

        Yeah Lunduke showed his true self and I’ve written him off as yet another narcissistic crazy in the world.

    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.
