I'm honestly surprised that someone on Ladyada's staff would link to an article by the highly transphobic and racist Bryan Lunduke. As recently as March of this year he was deliberately deadnaming and misgendering a prominent ElementaryOS developer.

I still remember when all we cared about were the technical contributions that people made. Now it seems like the ideologists from one extreme side of the political spectrum have infiltrated the technical communities and are destroying them in the same way as they are this country.

Stop with the culture wars identity politics shit: it's what's tearing this country apart.

Of all the days in the year to have to write a comment like this on...!

Well yeah, but then Hans Reiser killed his wife and ruined it for everyone.

You're not wrong.

Unrelated but also not: That's why the left introduced the "Code of Conduct" everywhere, to enable useful idiots like that one.

This is not relevant to the topic at all.

It's not, but people should be aware of where they get their news sources.

If this is his twitter, it looks like he's changed:

I've seen that and I believe he felt he had to do so to maintain his readership after being called out for his bigotry so often of late. I for one don't believe he's changed at all, but I don't personally know the guy so I can't say for sure he hasn't. Anyway, I'll still refuse to read his articles just to be sure I'm not supporting a bigot with page views.
