ha!

It almost did.  But I set the creep straight and the sun will rise again 
tomorrow.


article   https://news.itsfoss.com/running-linux-in-pdf/


1  Me to creep:

"In your article about getting Linux to run in a .pdf file, you 
constantly refer to the programmer as 'they', when HE is a male. What's 
your problem?"


2  creep to Me:

"Gender is uncertain from the username vk6_"


3  Me back to creep:

"Total bullshit.  YOU wrote the article, and YOU wrote 'aka ading2210/Allen'

So you knew his name was Allen, and you knew he was a male.  But you 
used 'they' and 'their' anyway.  Evil.

It's pro-DEI and pro-trans people like you that are ruining Linux/FOSS. 
I won't even try a Linux distro with DEI, pronouns, or 'codes of conduct'.

I guess you don't know better, and maybe you never will, but ALL 
technology is about the code and design and functionality, not the 
sex/race/disability of the creator.

The creeps at NixOS literally kicked the founder out because he wouldn't 
set aside board seats for "marginalized" people.  Ridiculous.

If you had any integrity you would revise and repost your article to 
refer to Allen as he and him.  But I know you won't."



He never replied or revised the article, but at least he was 
well-chastised for being pathetic.
