This thread turned into the expected shitshow. All this "us vs. them" bullshit. Right vs Left. Liberals vs Convervatives. Black vs White. Barcelona vs Madrid. Sith vs Jedi.
Kinda expected in an IT-forum. Binary thinking.
Do you still have to identify with some meaningless group-ideology to feel confident? Highschool all over again?
My opinion on the topic:
I think the changes are unnecessary. But who cares really. Won't change anything. But I do understand the arguments for it. Language is influencing the way we think (and the other way around). Maybe there is a positive longterm impact. Maybe not. Meh. Not worth discussing really.

like other articles, I think anyone can handle kernel development manager better than Linus Torvalds at this point if he thinks this is important and will fix anything
Patches like this are low cost, and probably have few regressions. If it helps avoid toxicity towards even a single Linux developer and encourages them to fix a single bug, it's probably worth the time..

I have a Focusrite Scarlet studio interface with broken drivers for Windows10, but Linux runs it flawlessly out of the box.
Not to mention Pulseaudio and JACK can run network audio with little configuration.
And Linus doesn't believe in any of this PC-crap. He probably just doing it to keep drama out of the workplace.

Sure the road is much much harder for anyone outside of those 2 gangs, I think in part because of Ross Perot.
Yet Bill Walker, Jesse Ventura, Angus King, Orland Loomis and others proved it is feasible to at least attain the rank of Governor (of course others also attained the rank of Senator/Congressman); maybe it means that some states are more stuck on that idea than others and it's all up to them to wake up?

Of course, if people opposed to these patches are actually contributors to linux sound, then they do have some say ... but why would they say it on Phoronix?

The worst thing of all is that it's always some leftist taking offence on someone else's behalf, when that other person doesn't even really care and actually just finds the whole thing belittling and patronizing.
I'm not even white and someone in this thread (probably a white liberal) has already accused me of benefiting from "white privilege". These people are clowns.
