Do you know what satire is?
From the essay:
> Thankfully, a developer named dionoea was able to come to a compromise with us. She added a compile time option that allowed VLC to be ran under the root account. The USE FLAG "run-as-root" was introduced...
She ran as root! without being "little girl" or "baby" or "sissy"
- dalke 10y agoLet's assume I don't. Wikipedia's entry starts: > Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement. Is it a shortcoming to be a girl or a sissy, and if so, why? Should people who are girls or sissy feel shamed for being that way, or be ridiculed? Is the way out of ridicule for girls and sissies to be more like a man? Does diononea really use her computer "like a man", or does she actually use it like a woman? The only way I can see this as useful satire is to accept the underlying premise of misogyny, which I do not wish to do.
