Sooo I just put one of the most vulgar, sexist, racist, homophobic text I could think of, also said extra points for knowledge of NodeJS and I got score 0. No problems found.

Just found Intel leaks and Gwent on github without any effort. Intel has a few repositories in different formats, plain copy of .svn directory or converted to git. TF2/Portal leak is there as well. All but 2 I found were made by throwaway accounts.

Before covid kicked in on full scale I worked in a med-tech startup. We had a product that orchestrated full delivery of cancer drugs, some personalised research-type drugs produced only for a single patient, we supported 2 CRISPR researches on other drugs. First, clinics in US were closed, then transport companies (specialised drug-delivery planes with freezers), at this point we knew that cancer patients will be 3rd class patients and will eventually die without treatment, likely in pain. Patients weren't allowed in to clinics to prevent them getting covid, as they were high risk (as in health and financially, for the research).

Next week the company lost financial support, 100 devs and 70 testers were made redundant. Investors and board members handled redundancy particularly bad, burnt bridges with employees who were there for the mission. Pretty much all moved to fin-tech. No one I keep contact with is thinking about getting there back with our unique knowledge of the product and industry.

>I think the name change does more harm than good because it trivializes the movement.

What do you mean? Name change of a default branch clearly fixes issues of racism in the software industry. Racism in IT = gone

> I have and upload them to the site, which is really outside of this project.

>Or is Nginx also infringing because when downloaded

No, you have to use Google Chrome for this.

They took down youtube-dl first, then torrent tracker, so torrent clients, browsers and ffmpeg are next.

Like Mint failed to fork Ubuntu? Or Ubuntu failed to fork Debian? Or LibreOffice failed to fork OpenOffice? MariaDB MySQL?

>This has somehow gotten worse in recent years

I used to contribute bugfixes to Gnome2 in months before Gnome 3 was released. I observed product plan for Gnome 3 and was joking Gnome 3 will be just a red button that farts.

So many functionalities removed, slower response time, regressions and defects everywhere, broken user experience worse than what Window 10 gave us later. I moved to XFCE and then to Plasma.

It's similar situation to removal of slave/master terminology from IT. Without context such accusations are pointless. "I don't like the word you use so you are not allowed to use it." We're seeing the same thing. Apple doesn't like you using the word that's also name of a drug, so you're gone. No context needed.
