"a GNU manual, like a course in history, is not meant to be a 'safe space"
That blows my mind. Really? Why? A technical instruction manual should definitely be a safe place.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoWait, what? A safe space is meant to be a safe space. A technical manual is meant to be whatever the hell the authors want it to be. Some choices may make it worse or better at communicating the technical knowledge, true, but those are choices the authors make.

Grep the Linux codebase or the ioquake3 codebase for "fuck" or whatever, too. Does that offend you in any way, too? But then again, what do you mean by safe place?
