NetworkManager 1.50 Released - Now Ensures Offensive Terms Don't Appear In Settings

[access]

If it doesn't affect the user in the slightest... why do we need to change it?

We? Are you an NM developer/maintainer? If yes then you can ask one of your peers, if no then it doesn't affect you and you can go back to enjoying your BDSM in private.

I wish I could somehow add all the complaining white boys with small egos here to a list and somehow ensure I will never, ever, work with any of you.

white boys

that is BOTH racist and binarynormative

Michael is title engineering 'cause he knows a lot of snowflakes are reeeeally attached to certain outdated words.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

Being against censorship is not something a snowflake would do. Quite the opposite.

Aaah yes, censored from writing deprecated keys into NM config files via NM.

Maybe they need to remove white colour from NM logo next. I'm sure someone will find that offensive...

I am in a BDSM relationship and me and my sub are very offended by RedHats incredible hatred towards master/slave terminology.

That probably turns one of you on though.

You think that people sick of stupid dogmatic censorship of perfectly fine works are ... snowflakes? Let my buy you a dictionary Sir!

As a white dude I could not give one iota of a carp about "white boys" being used in any form.

They could just fork into NetBDSM and FreeBSDM and call it a day.
