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

    Lmao there’s actually something kind of hilarious about a person trying to push gender neutral terms into documentation for a program called “Ladybird”.

    Did they want the project to be renamed to “Lady/Man/Thembird” too? /S

        So wait, what does any od that have to do with Ladybird? The comment they replied to was literally about Ladybird… Ooooookay then.

        For some, sure. For me, no… I genuinely feel bad for anybody who’s head is so far up their ass that they fail to see the humour around the irony here.

        I am also genuinely confused as to how there can be documentation for a web browser that has gendered terms in it in the first place… Aside from the browser name, what other gendered terms would there be?
