From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i don't even want to click your link because it says "unhinged dishonest activists". i have literally only ever heard the worst people with the worst opinions ever say shit like that.
That is an apt description for Lunduke.
if I were in a room with Hitler and Lunduke etc
Godwin's Law. Discussion over.
Making a low effort argument against a straw man that was never stated. You sure you aren’t a conservative?
No, I disagree with the idea of digging into years of history to drag up the one thing to be mad at and bandwagon over with a loud mob with surface level care that move onto the next bandwagon in a week. Typical to Twitter behavior. Doesn’t actually help anyone, typically hurts the movements they claim to support among everyone else.
I’m about the farthest from Lunduke you can get, he’s just not wrong in this specific instance. You don’t know me, “you sure do sound” is a silly attempt at internet games. Yawn.
It wasn't right for people to bandwagon and harass the project, but that doesn't mean he was right for closing this PR in the way he did. Him closing this PR is what caused the project to be attacked, not part of the attacks.
Years later is ridiculous and unwarranted, it’s looking for someone to attack.
Technically, in a later PR they merged a more gender neutral language, but I don't think there was any official apology to the community.
I don't comment anything negative, so far as I remember, against Ladybird and decided not to look at the general direction of that project.
You mean when he said he had nothing against gender-neutral language but rather drive-by PRs and made the change?
