I would say, finally, in an era of bitter political struggle even in the free software world, finally we see a good humoured hacker joke again

      Well, as far as i have observed this (from safe distance, far, far away…) Andreas Kling rejected a proposal from a new contributor to change documentation to use gender neutral terms… and as usual with those things, people tend to get mad.

      Edit: A simple to the people downvoting: Why?

        Kling has promoted the nonsense white replacement conspiracy theory, whined about “leftist activists”.

        The answer is because just a tiny bit of looking at kling - just like with DHH - will reveal so much more far-right attitude and behavior beyond kling rejecting an offer to fix the poorly written documentation.

          I am not involved in the Ladybird project, do not really follow the development or the community thereof in any close fashion, so i do not want to take any sides here. What i can say for sure after spending ~ 30 years online is, that the net often amplifies drama beyond any rational measure… so, until i find the time and energy to look into that (unlikely) i will stay with a neutral “oookay…”
