It's coming up today because the person who rejected the PR announced they got funding for Ladybird.

The submitter was respectful and trying to help. They used their own time to make a change at no cost to the project. There was no downside to accepting the PR.

The BDFL rejecting the PR and calling it political is the cause of the drama. That's entirely self inflicted.

Why on earth would you decline this PR? Like the person who submitted it did all the work? I can see saying "fixing the pronouns in the docs isn't a high priority" but it's silly when the work is already done. Doubly so because, if the submitter had been coy and snuck the pronoun change in with another submission, no one would have declined it.

The library hadn't had any updates in 2 years before this. Clearly it wasn't maintained. If you're a user and bothered by this super edge case "vulnerability", fork it and take on the responsibility yourself.

2FAS is open source and doesn't have a cloud presence to store data. You can use it to add 2FA to your other services as well.

I switched all my domains to Porkbun. No way I'm hanging out in Squarespace land.

Both female and male patients had a lower patient mortality when treated by female physicians; however, the benefit of receiving care from female physicians was larger for female patients than for male patients.

Of note, the study was conducted on 800k senior citizens.

The findings may not be generalizable to younger populations.

It's a video game show that uses the rules of the video game world.

I use it when I'm traveling and am on insecure WiFi.

However, it doesn't let you pick your egress location,.so if you're trying to get to PornHub in Texas, it won't help.

Again, you're putting words in my mouth. I'm done engaging with you as I don't think you're conversing in good faith.

No one said anything is beneath senior employees.

It's a lost opportunity when you, a staff engineer, spend your time doing something that a junior engineer could do -- instead of doing a task a junior engineer can't do.

It's faulty, short-sighted logic though. If every company trained juniors, only for them to jump ship in two years, there'd be a pool of trained juniors to hire from. Yes you wouldn't get your investment out of that particular person, but you'd be hiring someone else's investment.

Beyond that, there's work that is better suited to more junior employees because it's literally a waste of the senior employees' skills.
