serenity VS reactos

For a little more context, the most controversial of of the pronoun PR request was how Andreas Kling rejected it[0]:

This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.

There is a "politics" section to the contributing guidelines [1], but this particular change doesn't appear to be covered by them.

We could argue about the history of hacker culture and its inclusivity, but it would most likely be just a series of proofless claims from both sides. I personally have never seen or heard of a person rejected from any hacker clique because of their sexual orientation. I've heard of a few having their contributions refused for trying to push political agenda [0], but then again it wasn't their identity that was refused, only the contributions related to advertising that identity.

I don't feel like the neo-queer-hacker culture you're discribing is particularly welcome to anyone who disagrees with them. I've heard of multiple instances of people calling for bans of people who said something in their private lives [1]. That is completely opposite of "inclusive". Inclusivity only matters when it includes people you disagree with.

If I understand correctly, there was just a social media mob calling the project transphobic over the use of a couple of "he" in the documentation, that is uncalled for.

A user account called "anon" is "he"? It has no gender, it is a Linux user account. The correct word should actually be "it", which is exactly what the word got recently updated to: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/24648

> Not long ago I remember coming across some discussions about upgrading SChannel (the actual TLS component in Windows) in older versions using OpenSSL or other TLS libraries, but can't find at the moment.

ReactOS has an schannel.dll built around the mbedTLS library: https://github.com/reactos/reactos/tree/master/dll/win32/sch...

soon, everything will be in react. Your browser? React. OS? React. Car operating system? React.

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should

I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.

With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.
