Michael is title engineering 'cause he knows a lot of snowflakes are reeeeally attached to certain outdated words.

That policy change was one of the least significant in the release changelog... but here we are.

I thought that snowflakes were the persons that can't manage to read a swear word without panicking.

Cool, but I wish they did more / better integration with IDW.
And worked better when the computer had multiple networks connected, like 2 wired ISPs or one wired / wireless and another a hotspot from a mobile phone.

Better integration with systemd-resolved too would've been nice so once you enable custom DNS servers, they work for all interfaces by default, without having to create / edit config files and restart.

I feel like this is something companies do not because it's something actual users want, but because it's a really easy way to shine a "good light" on them in the eyes of the investors... lol

Bingo. It's called ESG investing. And the reason Red Hat has been doing this and hiring all these blue hairs is because they are told to by IBM.

Well, as you can see in this thread a lot of snowflakes are panicking because certain deprecated word aren't written to a config file... in a piece of software that some of them loudly proclaim that they aren't even using to begin with.

TBH, nobody is panicking here.

Panicking? Sounded like general discussion to me, we can have a discussion without being offended.

Indeed. We're very obviously mocking. That's what we sane people do in the face of intense stupidity and absurdity.

The real snowflakes are the ones that fall for an easy bait headline and instantly cry censorship and "literally 1984". Always have been.

Imagine and build a better world in which language evolves to correct the inherent bigotries and biases over centuries of incorrect and destructive thought patterns so ingrained people don't even notice them in said language until they're directed at oneself and people like oneself... then one reads Phoronix's forums and realizes just how very very long we have to go.
