it's all about posturing and signaling, and being a crook.
yes, there are real problems that stem from corporations and society's heavy efforts to divide and capitalize on us. however, it's far more difficult and low-roi to actually fight racism or do anything productive, whereas you get most of the benefits by acting like you care and banning a couple words and saying it's bad!
- eloff 6y agoI agree, it seems to be all about virtue signaling as opposed to trying to do anything actually transformative.
- rvz 6y agoExactly. It is virtue signalling at its finest and it does absolutely nothing to address the actual concern or create anything substantiative. > The v8.6 version makes the V8 code base more respectful. The team joined a Chromium-wide effort to follow Google’s commitments to racial equity by replacing some insensitive terms in the project. The 'decisions' of the Chromium team never cease to be so illogical. If they complain about upstreaming another OS like the BSDs (Because they're a minority of users and its vewy vewy 'hard' to maintain) [0] but happily rename words in the entire Chromium codebase to appeal to a minority of actually 'offended' people of the sake of so-called 'inclusivity', then I'm afraid they have just defied any sense of logic and reason. This is the hill they want to die on. > This is still an ongoing effort and any external contributor is welcome to give a hand! You can see the list of still available tasks here.
