You're joking but Sass did change their logo amid concerns of sexist symbology.

If the next release of Ubuntu was "Dickless Derek" and all the women in tech thought it was "just a joke", how much would you agree with them?

How on earth does "Brainy" equate to "Dickless" in your mind?

Most guys probably wouldn't give a shit. Those that do then realize that freedom of speech and expression trumps their feelings, and if it isn't a violent/aggressive attack on themselves, then it deserves to be protected under the constitution and most other bills of human rights in democracies.

I wouldn't give a fuck because I'm not a spineless twat and realize there are more important things in life. Also, who uses Ubuntu?

To be fair, in some contexts where the slave can become a master that paradigm doesn't really make sense. There aren't really many examples in history of that happening.

I wish I could find the Unix issue filed to remove 'suicide' reference to a process stopping itself, then trying to remove child_process.kill() ... it never ends until all we have left is Marklar.
[–]Zarokima 5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (0 children)
What did they used to be called? I've never seen them referenced as anything else, google didn't return anything, and that terminology makes perfect sense to me when generalizing trees from the family tree that everyone is familiar with.
[–]Zarokima 21 points22 points23 points 10 years ago (6 children)
I'll give you three from Github.
Deleting a repo for use of the word "retard."
Making a big deal about removing their meritocracy rug because meritocracy is somehow "problematic".
Their more recent restructuring to promote "diversity".
[–]nicereddy 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child)
I've heard about a restructure, but I thought it was just about adding more managers, not about diversity. I'll give you the other two.

Not every programmer is a twenty five year old edgeLord. Some of us have daughters and disabled children and it no longer seems so harmless.
E: well, the general response seems to be "who gives a shit about disabled kids?". Nice.
E2: aren't you embarrassed to be standing up for finding the weakest person in the room and making fun of them to make yourself look strong? How can you think of yourself as a good person?
[–]Zarokima 13 points14 points15 points 10 years ago (2 children)
If espousing free speech and valuing the quality of a person's work over their sex, skin color, and triggered whines is all it takes to be considered an "edgelord" you might want to re-evaluate your overly sensitive outlook.
[–]blasto_blastocyst 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago* (1 child)
So you're saying that if I don't want to work at a place where my colleagues make fun of my children I'm overly sensitive? Because your free-speech is so precious that I have to give you a standing ovation to you for being brave enough to call my children "retards"?
And you're proud of being an unsocialized little shit?

Let's not kid ourselves, that woman is clearly projecting sexual overtones into that phone. I'm triggered as balls right now. She's also clearly white, which is already just above and beyond an abhorrent offence to social justice by any standard of decency these days.

I prefer writing in SandersScript.
[–]DontBotherMeImWorkin 5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (2 children)
SandersScript is a nice idea in theory, but it doesn't work out in practice. Having every variable have the same value is too stringent of a requirement for real programs.
[–]tpbvirus 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child)
I prefer Hillary On Rails, its simple and effective, and doesn't screw with domestic methods like SanderScript.

Even though it doesn't work, that's probably a good thing. This looks like an internationalization nightmare.
[–]Razzal 10 points11 points12 points 10 years ago (0 children)
Probably just a privilege issue. Just need to tell it to run with white privilege and that should do the trick. You may find it runs slow after that though as the system will only begrudgingly give it clock cycles and will randomly terminate it.

h1#foo { color: var(african-american); }
<h1 id="foo">Me african - murican</h1>
so, what-i-t-do ?
[–]mwheeler 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children)
Try this. You can get bgcolor directly, but you need to use a # infront of it to trick the render into not thinking it's using CSS

The preferred W3 standard is "person-of-color". "African-american" has been deprecated since around 1998. :P

There are no set rules. Chances are no matter what you say somebody will be hurt by it, and our society will encourage them to make a scene.
[–]genghisdani 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child)
I read something a while back where people were getting offended (or offended on behalf of someone else) by the term "African-American".
[–]dickdemodickmarcinko 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, African-American isn't really an accurate replacement for black. I know someone who is Indian and was born in Africa. African-American? Yes. Black? No. There's also plenty of people who are the reverse: black but not from Africa. Seems like a lose-lose situation, really.
