#685135 — Trans "ally" creep knows developer is a male, refers to him as "they" anyway

https://news.itsfoss.com/running-linux-in-pdf/

Early in the article and later notes the software developer is named 
Allen, but never once says he or him.  Instead says 'they' several times.

Believe you me, I blasted this creep.

As a result the world ended, BTW.

United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

ha!

It almost did.  But I set the creep straight and the sun will rise again 
tomorrow.


article   https://news.itsfoss.com/running-linux-in-pdf/


1  Me to creep:

"In your article about getting Linux to run in a .pdf file, you 
constantly refer to the programmer as 'they', when HE is a male. What's 
your problem?"


2  creep to Me:

"Gender is uncertain from the username vk6_"


3  Me back to creep:

"Total bullshit.  YOU wrote the article, and YOU wrote 'aka ading2210/Allen'

So you knew his name was Allen, and you knew he was a male.  But you 
used 'they' and 'their' anyway.  Evil.

It's pro-DEI and pro-trans people like you that are ruining Linux/FOSS. 
I won't even try a Linux distro with DEI, pronouns, or 'codes of conduct'.

I guess you don't know better, and maybe you never will, but ALL 
technology is about the code and design and functionality, not the 
sex/race/disability of the creator.

The creeps at NixOS literally kicked the founder out because he wouldn't 
set aside board seats for "marginalized" people.  Ridiculous.

If you had any integrity you would revise and repost your article to 
refer to Allen as he and him.  But I know you won't."



He never replied or revised the article, but at least he was 
well-chastised for being pathetic.

The open-source is now infested with these pedophiles. It's truly 
nauseating and taking away from the enjoyment one might get from using 
Linux. The sad part is that Apple and Microsoft are just as woke. Where 
these child diddlers are breeding is beyond me, but I'd love to destroy 
their base the way the characters of the old arcade game Gauntlet did.

The pagan (satanic) "West" is infested with pedophiles. If you think they're 
not infesting Microsoft and Apple, think again.

They are, they clearly are. That's why I've gotten to a point where I 
believe that we're all just better off choosing the best product rather 
than thinking that any of these software or hardware companies share our 
values. There is nothing heroic about using Linux. A lot of us have 
deluded ourselves into thinking that we're changing something by using 
it, but now it appears that supporting the operating system is feeding 
the very people who would want us to be removed from the face of the 
Earth. At this point, if I'm going to spend money, I'll only look at 
whether the hardware or software I'm buying actually provides me with 
the entirety of the functionality I am looking for.

I don't think I'm changing anything in society by using Linux. What I'm 
changing is getting rid of the control Microsoft and Apple wants to have on 
my computing. Open Source is not a religion (at least not for me) it's a 
means to a freer computing platform where I can make my own choices, without 
ads and without my OS "reporting home" 24/7. Unfortunately, just like the 
world in general, there are a lot of Woke morons involved in Open Source. 
Until the aspell spell checker tries to replace "him," "her" or "it" with 
"they" or some other asinine "gender" word then I'll keep using it.

They're not forcing those changes on me _yet_. I fully expect them to 
with subsequent versions of Office, which is why I'm resistant to 
upgrading or even using the free Office 365 subscription I get from work.

Yeah. Hopefully this crap doesn't show up in LibreOffice. TextMaker keeps 
wanting me to upgrade because the newest version has AI (like that's a 
feature I would want).

And you've just gotten an answer as to why I went back to Windows. The 
experience is extremely disheartening. I don't want to use Linux if it 
gives these child predators the impression that I approve of them in any 
way.

Why are you making such a big deal of it, though?  I swear, if I had
to judge every business by some grandiose moral code, I'd starve. It's
a lot easier to just accept the things you cannot change, as they say
in 12 Step, it's like you have Linux as an option, and it's competing
rather well with the commercial OSes, but some people involved in
producing distros probably have views I'd disagree with. Does that
make their code not work?  Do I have to know about all their views to
use their product?  It's not sensible because there's very finite
choice in a desktop OS, GNU/Linux is the only platform that delivers
something like people are accustomed to, without being paid/
proprietary.  I can tolerate the programmers/developers/coders having
their political views.

Because I have principles. I have yet to buy any Gillette products since 
they made that idiotic commercials shaming men for being men. It's been 
years, but I don't believe they've earned my trust back.

If the views of the programmers are that homosexuals need to be treated 
better than heterosexuals, that the black community should get 
preferential treatment in the hiring process or that saying something 
like "White lives matter" is racist, I don't want to touch their products.

So you're judging the product by the content of television
advertising.  I just don't operate in that world, TV commercials are
in one ear and out the other, mostly.  Then again, I'll never forget
seeing the 1997 Spice Girls Pepsi commercial.

Business is business, I will do business with just about anyone.
Waffle House is known to support right-wing politics, yeah OK but they
make a fuckin' bangin' omelet, so maybe I'll just have to give a few
pennies, indirectly, to the prez.

I've gotten to the point that I only want to purchase the best product, 
regardless of politics. For me, that's usually Apple. However, I am not 
a fan of not being able to upgrade my machine or change its components. 
Going from the 2TB encrypted nvme and 32GB of RAM I currently have to 
any Mac would feel like a significant downgrade. Apparently, their M3 is 
not that much faster than my 5900HS either.

I think we're in the same boat as far as technology goes. I'd like to go 
to Linux exclusively but I have to admit that the events of the past few 
years have me rethinking that since it looks like wokism, not 
innovation, is going to be the priority for open-source going forward.

You assume that the Woke, political loudmouths in Open Source are the ones 
driving open source innovation. They're more likely the drones. The backbone 
of open source are developers who just develop are are doing it after coming 
home from a day job — they don't have time for the brain-dead Woke bullshit.

Woke bullshit doesn't produce an OS, developers do.

And they are actively liquidating the developers who don't subscribe to 
this idiocy.

Or so you assume. Obviously you still don't "get" Open Source. You can't 
"liquidate" developers because they can always fork the project. This is not 
Microsoft or Apple, where it's "their way or the highway."

You're right, but how long do you think conservative developers will 
stick around when they see that they're being demonized left and right 
whenever they submit to a project? Look at what they did to the guy who 
was actively improving Thunderbird. He had to fork the program to 
Betterbird just to be able to keep improving the software. Who knows if 
he'll continue doing so if so few of us donate to help him out. Even 
after they fork, there's a good chance that one of the people working 
with them will turn on them because of some political garbage just like 
they did with Lunduke. Heck, a few years ago, while he was exclusively 
working on software for a living, people turned on him because some of 
his code was proprietary. He made everything open only to find that few 
if any people actually bothered to donate to help him out. They would 
rather see him starve and get free code than even consider sending him a 
few bucks for his work.

Lunduke seems to be someone whose ego is easily bruised. But I may be making 
assumptions that aren't true. I have no idea what he was developing, 
however.
