Balanced thing would have been to add a config parameter to enable disable this stuff. Can't imagine a lawsuit from something that is user customizable. Some want Easter eggs and others don't.
Of course if your easter eggs slow performance via bug then insta-disable.
- sammorrowdrums 7y agoYeah, that's arguably the most reasonable solution. Although off by default would make me sad. Would have to be the other way.
- excerionsforte 7y agoIt can show up a non intrusive notification to inform you about turning it on/leaving it on vs turning it off just like the data collection notification popups.
- Infinitesimus 7y agoThat still leaves the chance someone would complaind bout being forced to read "Christmas" when trying to write code
- excerionsforte 7y agoSounds like sarcasm and snark, but even so "decorations", "easter eggs" and/or "holiday" is sufficient to convey what would be enabled/disabled.
- mnm1 7y agoBut "Easter eggs" are even more religious so that phrase would need to be banned if we are banning everything some random person on the internet finds offensive. Even "holiday" is borderline because it implies a holy day which is also religious. If you give me a few minutes, I can think of a few reasons to ban "decorations" on religious grounds too. I'm an atheist so don't give a fuck if they are banned but I think that should indicate the absurdity of this situation and of even acknowledging the "issue." That's what the close issue is for.
