The 'ghost' of Christmas past.

This is nothing new, people expect religion not to be part of the "professional" environment. Dunno if VS code applies.

At the office (big corp) they don't call it the "Christmas Party", it's "the holiday party". They put lights and stuff up but no more Christmas trees/stars etc.. not everyone celebrates christmas so that's fine by me. If Microsoft wants to put a little santa hat on their product that's fine by me too. If I was using some service based in Mexico and they put a little hat on a product for cinco de mayo i wouldn't care. Christmas has other implications so it might be different, dunno

Christmas is religion yes, but Santa doesn't really have anything to do with religion other than being on Christmas right?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago

Yea, Santa is the more secular icon. There are even Christians that take issue with the Santa character (which is a combination of "Pagan" and Christian mythos). I put Pagan in quotes, as that's a Christian term for certain non-Christian beliefs.

Besides both being fairy tales, I would say it's even anti religious, since religious Christmas clashes with it, yet he doesn't bring gifts to baby Jesus. He brings commercial toys to all the other children.

And spawned an even longer shit fit.

Some people just want to be offended and we should simply let them.

Wait, did I read that correctly and they replaced the hat with a snowflake?? Hahahaha

And yes, people often forget that generally offense is taken. When it's intentionally given, it's pretty clear.

Guess loosing his project didn't deter him from using vscode.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I guess "ghost" is just placeholder for deleted accounts

In fact, in the issue they even refer to another username that doesn't exist anymore
