Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

People in FOSS community (including users) nitpick way too much about eachother’s ethics and are mostly dictators so they expect everybody’s views to align with themselves and each sub-community/individual see themselves as the source of moral balance.
“oh no one of project XYZ maintainers doesn’t like trans people we should boycott the project and fork it into LibreLGBTQXYZ”
be professional ffs. See the project as the software and it’s technicality, art, science and engineering. we can’t be too picky about individual people’s beliefs and ethics especially in current situations.
“I will happily promote the project of a person who openly says people like me should be shot. What’s the problem?”
I probably disagree with 90% of Linus torvald’s beliefs and ideologies. Do I promote him as a person? No. Do I promote Linux as a great project and operating system? Hell yes. Same goes with Stallman or probably 90% of other people. Because that’show we are. Most of us share nothing in common and oppose eachother’s beliefs but we can still work together as professionals.
Linus doesn’t want you and your kind fave down in a gutter. Stop pretending this is about a mere disagreement in harmless beliefs.
You can stop attacking the dev or team or company in charge of a project, mate, the software is what matters. Death of the author and all that
If some dev team wants to curb stomp you, you should probably keep away from them
Lol, so if using their project gets them fame and money to fuck up my country or harm people that look like me, according to you I should just keep going?
Genius advice. Truly enlightened.
You lost me here. It’s not “unprofessional” to want people to not be transphobic.
You can ask the person, not the software project. The project is just a project. We can tear eachotger to pieces as individuals and then sit at a table trying to solve problems as professionals.
If someone wanted to take your rights away, maybe even didn’t believe you should be allowed to be alive, would you be unprofessional for not wanting to use software they make? Would you be unprofessional for making your own version of that if the project refused to remove them as the lead? No. You wouldn’t. A way to solve that problem as a professional is to fork the project. What’s not professional is calling people doing that unprofessional.
So don’t donate to them and tell others how they’re bad and that they don’t deserve money
Why stop using the software they made and gave away?
This conversation has been about people who fork software to continue working on it without bigoted leaders in charge, in what way is that not using the software?
Transphobia is unprofessional.
So is any other kind of bigotry.
An individual’s personal beliefs has nothing with their profession. Unless they leak it into their profession. Now the profession has that ideology and we can address that. The person, and especially as long as it’s just words and tweets etc, is separate from the work.
Anyway, this is my unpopular opinion.
Transphobia is now what antisemitism was during the Holocaust.
This framing of trans rights being pulverized as an edge-case moral purity signaling is low-key genocide enabler discourse.
It is only a matter to be careful to set boundaries to the centrism so that it doesn’t bleed over to the nazi side.
That being said, weaponized purity in online politics, and online software politics specifically might be a problem, sometimes. Minimal gain and huge inconvenience to the resistance, but I won’t go into it right now.
Is it really a genocide? Like I’m trans and being pushed towards losing my life, and that’s bad, but it feels weird calling that a genocide when you compare it to the actual Holocaust or Palestine or the Sudanese civil war. For it to qualify I think I’d have to be arrested and executed for being trans, not just driven to suicide because I don’t have any friends and no employers will hire me.
In the worst case in the worst countries. Fascists like to turn people against a subgroup. In the 1930s it was the Jews, but only in Germany.
Right now the American government is making fascist noises and telling everyone how terrible trans people are
