(sarcasm) that'it.. they removed a sexist jokes in the documentation of glibc. it's over. the whole project is going to die soon, because it needs sexism to exist. when will the sjws stop ruining everything???
@szam@Siphonay the joke targets anti-abortion people. no one is offended by the joke, as best as I can tell -- the main issue here is rms unilaterally overriding the consensus for its removal as non-crucial
the entire "joke" is that the function is called abort() and whether users should be able to decide not to "abort" a process
@trwnh@Siphonay yeah RMS behaviour may be shitty but as I'm not interested enough in this software's governance, from where I stand the main issue is men deleting pro abortion rights statements because they think it's useless
@szam@Siphonay well... it's not strictly relevant to the documentation, at least? if I were voting, I'd say to keep it because it's not a bad joke. I don't think the humor is out-of-line; it might add some flavor if I were reading the docs. but its addition or removal tells me nothing about how the program works.
