"Interesting" indeed: > All in all, I believe this proves that software developers as a whole and as a culture produce worse results than drug addicted butt fucked monkeys randomly hacking on typewriters while inhaling the fumes of a radioactive dumpster fire fueled by chinese platsic toys for children and Elton John/Justin Bieber crossover CDs for all eternity. This the final paragraph after the author wrote a novel in the git commit message.

  I did not really think I was the only one who gets frustrated, but wow - My rants are not quite that inventive/descriptive...

  The guy who made this commit has this in his Github bio: > Creator of @mpv-player. I was kicked out of the project, but all the backstabbers will pay for it in due time. GNOME is the plague.

    Dont trust the current wm4 github account. The original account was deleted and someone made one with the same name.

      The current account is run by a 4chan troll, if I remember correctly.

"Interesting" is certainly one way to put "author displaying blatant homophobic attitudes." Edit: referencing anal sex and two musicians, one of whom is effeminate and the other gay(and famously popular among gay people), all as insults. The author is a mix of misogynistic and homophobic.

  Genuinely curious: it's obviously, well, manic, but which part of that quote is homophobic?

  These are nowhere near "blatant". Maybe you're the homophobic one?

  I think the reference to Elton John and Bieber is more a dig at the quality of Bieber's music, not anyone's (actual or perceived)sexual orientation, and that it's inclusion on the same CD is tainting Elton John's legacy. So if anything he respects and likes the famously gay person, so wouldn't characterize that as homophobic. Won't speak to the anal sex reference because I haven't read the whole thing yet.

  Maybe not everyone's mind goes where yours seems to. In particular your analysis depends heavily on Bieber being effeminate, which is not an adjective I'd associate with him. Maybe this guy's just making fun of their music? Or are gay musicians exempt from all mockery now?

After skimming that message I think I'll save this for later. I probably would use it for some project I need to use locales with :-)

bwahaha. what a gem; thank you! "To justify this emotional outbreak potentially insulting to unknown persons, I will write a lot of text. Those not comfortable with toxic language should pretend this is a religious text." I'm going to steal this.

One of the best commit messages of all time. Convinced me I was not wrong for hating legacy C library cruft.

great rant, but then he submits code like if (mpa && mpa->locale) freelocale(mpa->locale); which are known to cause bugs fairly easily (see gotofail [0]) [0] https://embeddedgurus.com/barr-code/2014/03/apples-gotofail-ssl-security-bug-was-easily-preventable/ https://embeddedgurus.com/barr-code/2014/03/apples-gotofail-...
