"Tous les hommes violent" veut dire exactement la même chose que "chaque homme viloe", ça ne donne d'ailleurs aucune indication sur la proportion de violeurs qui sont des hommes... Si je te dis que j'ai mangé toutes les carottes, ça signifie bien qu'il n'en reste pas une seule, et tu n'as pas la moindre idée du nombre de patates que j'ai mangé.

If I had a vehicule so fast it could literally kill me, I would never drive it around other people knowing my life was potentially in the hands of some inexperienced driver who has not the slightest concern or knowledge regarding traffic laws.
I could find plenty other analogies, but you get the point... So many mundane everyday activities are life threatening in a way, you can't blame people for living...
Asking the waiter for problematic ingredients and insisting on how severe your allergy is more than enough caution taken. The fault is entirely on the restaurant. If a blind person was run over after a nearby pedestrian ensured them that it was safe to cross the street, would you blame the blind person for leaving their house alone?
I don't know about this specific building, so this is just speculation, but it looks like an old public building, something like a school, city hall, could even be a market or public bathroom. My guess is those door are new, and a way to close an otherwise open entry to a courtyard.
Verifiying the checksum of an iso takes 30 seconds... You don't need to trust anyone
The thing is, as some other people have pointed out, the guy is not a native english speaker, and many latin based languages simply don't have any gender neutral pronoun and make use of the neutral masculine instead. Many of these languages have seen some people propose new ways to handle pronouns to change that recently, most of which are somewhat controversial. It's easy for a native speaker of those languages to assume the same is true in english (especially since the use of "he" as a generic neutral is, as far as I can tell, still valid, although clearly out of fashion). Once you take all of that into account, the proposed change can easily be viewed as someone trying to simply push one of those controversial ideas instead of a widely accepted generic masculine, which would clearly fall into politics in the sense of "real world beliefs and social issues irrelevant to the topic at hand". The rest seems to simply be a pretty childish ego war between him and some mastodon users which could have been solved by either side taking 5 minutes to explain their point of view on this matter.
Now, even without this context, from what I can tell, the issue at hand was a single instance of " he" used to describe a generic anonymous user in the dev VM... Seeing that as unprofessional because it addresses someone as male by default surely is a bit of a stretch.
About that "no code for rivals", I don't think is as stupid as many mention. Right now when it comes to web browsers (at least ones with wide compatiblility and features), there's only 2 choices : chromium-based and firefox. So someone trying to bring some fresh blood is welcome, and in order to avoid having the same issues as the chromium-based ones, you need to make sure you are not overly dependent of your competitor's code. Granted, this is a pretty strict approach, but it doesn't prevent them from using the same libraries and techs, it just means that any code written specifically for a different browser shouldn't be copy/pasted.
Effectivement je suis un utilisateur occasionel, je me sert principalement de lemmy comme fil d'actualité, et je vais de temps en temps lire les commentaires quand certains posts piquent ma curiosité. J'ai effectivement choisi de venir m'exprimer pour une fois, mais promis la prochaine fois je ferais attention à ce que ce soit sur un sujet plus important comme la technologie, l'environnement, ou l'actualité internationale (ou moins important peut être, je ne sais pas ce que tu me reproche en fait...)
Je ne vois pas pourquoi mon commentaire de fais tant réagir par ailleurs. Je n'ai jamais exprimé un avis contraire au tient. Je suis juste tombé au fil de ma lecture sur un commentaire qui tente une analyse semantique non seulement factuellement fausse (et qui n'arrivera au mieux qu'a prêcher un convaincu) mais que je trouve en plus défavorable au propos général, puisque cette généralisation ne met aucunement en avant les éléments importants.
