Everything here applies to this as well. Thanks, VMware. In Microsoft's case it turned out that nothing was using that value and it could be replaced without breaking things. With luck that's true here as well.
I would say the "small weak nerdy leftist" would describe it and this is why i use Linux. I know that I am very lucky not be a black woman with disabilities but again, who decide what is correct to use or not in the kernel context?
You could replace offended by "feeling discriminated" in my preceding post and still would have to explain to me why sex reference are discriminating (I personally relate kernel dev to be fun, as sex does) and to whom (are really women though to be naturally to one being discriminated against by sex references).
Racist comments are automatically discriminating against races and I hate that. In my country you can not do plublic "hate speech" without beeing prosecuted, and i respect that. I would fight against a total free speech in the american way wich allows such attacks on preferences, race, religion and what constitute integrity of a person. However I do not see sex automatically being discriminating as both genre usually enjoy it.
So how so that sexual references becomes discrimination? And what is this group beeing discriminated?
So again in the open space that Kernel dev is, who decide what is offending/discriminating?
and just to be sure, Is DEADBEAF really offending to Hindus?
Which is to say that you're dividing women into two groups: those that would be offended and those that wouldn't. And that you don't give a damn about the former group. Seriously.
