   @ljrk
   Being "technical" and thus (??) a-political is just another way of saying you're allies with the oppressor.

   *everything* is political.

     Uhuh, so, using implicit "he" in technical documentation is so not-ideological and so technical/rational, but changing it to a neutral(!) term is not.

     Or:

     ... so you're enforcing some, like, standards of how you speak friendly with each other, right? Haha, no:

     This is so friggin' toxic. But going to report every date where they use "2024-07-02" as date format and not the full version including timestamp and timezone as demanded by ISO 8601 /s

     While #Ladybird is trending, keep in mind the devs are misogynist and transphobic fucks 0:-)
