From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What a tone-deaf response, yikes.
Yeahhh, he's like "everything was taken out of context to smear me", he shows the context and it doesn't make him look any better.
It's a shame bc I really wanted to get into hyprland, but I won't get involved with a project that is okay harassing people for being trans.
His response is perfectly rational. You need to stop getting offended over every small thing on the internet.
treating people respectfully is not getting offended. please touch some grass and open your eyes.
The internet is not your daycare you retarded faggot
Maybe you're right. Being "daycared" shouldn't happen on the internet, it should be a prerequisite.
People who default to stringing multiple slurs together for a response just to prove a point should just be banned on sight and sent back to daycare. Maybe they could learn something.
Did you read his response? These were a few small incidents blown out of proportion. Maybe grow a thicker skin?
that's not really the point considering this didn't occur in a vacuum. this one event can come to just be a grift and what I said will still be true.
I only have two things to say:
Your pronouns drama is political
pronouns are a part of the English, and many other, languages.
I didn't say pronouns are political. The drama you and your people make around pronouns is political.
you are generalizing a wide variety of people but okay my guy. go outside for once.
my existence is not, nor should be, a political issue. besides, technology doesn't exist in a vacuum. why do you think I'm on Lemmy instead of Reddit? politics. same with masto and Twitter.
and asking to be treated with respect in order to avoid mental issues is not selfish, you can think about more than yourself for once.
Interacting with people without harassment is hardly "politics".
