Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Linux users failing to respect trans Linux developers (awful.systems)

Sorry, no sneer today. I'm tired of this to the point where I'm dreaming up new software licenses.

A trans person no longer felt safe in our community and is no longer developing. In response, at least four different forums full of a range of Linux users and developers (Lemmy #1, Lemmy #2, HN, Phoronix (screenshot)) posted their PII and anti-trans hate.

I don't have any solutions. I'm just so fucking disappointed in my peers and I feel a deep inadequacy at my inability to get these fuckwads to be less callous.

just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's incomprehensible - only that you're lacking

I understand it completly, thank you. It has nothing to do with someone's status as a person. I'm grateful that they spend their time and energy on open source. It's a shame they're being brigaded. They still did something called vaugebooking.
