…according to The Linux Foundation and other craziness.
Inspired by Linux Foundation’s New Banned Words: Hung, Pow-wow, & Sanity Check.
Don’t use:
“hung” when talking about software. Use instead “stalled” or “unresponsive”.
“sanity check”. Use instead “validation check, consistency check, logic check, gut check”
The people who adhere to this false virtue and morality fail to realize that setting up a framework to punish others for what they say will eventually be used against them. The goal posts always move in collectivism, and everyone has their limits. It’s just a matter of time.
Two days ago I made a new git repo with the default branch named “master”.
It felt good.
I wonder what they think a ‘hung jury’ means.
Petty little authoritarians telling people how to talk.
They have no clue as to how worthless and pathetic they look to normies.
I do this every single time. \(ツ)/
A jury of a dozen well-endowed men, obviously
So, they don’t want to offend:
Or people who committed suicide by hanging who may feel hurted.
What about I/O Slave? 
“Gut check?” We can’t use that! We might offend people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome! 
I sure hope they don’t go…tits up.
I wonder if the virtue signaling semantics is happening in non-English spheres of tech.
I think a large contributing factor is an appalling ignorance of the meaning of words. Anywhere that people stop learning their language this nonsense will be carried out.
There was this one “scholar” that was claiming that the word “show” always involved seeing something and you cannot show something to someone with words alone. He never got back to me on what a “radio talk show” is or if I could “show him the door”.
…and also SIGHUP, SIGKILL, SIGTERM?
Will they also ban the entire video gaming industry? Just as gaming on linux is becoming really good?
And let’s not forget killall 
I don’t know how old everyone else is, but back in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a mega-church that was far too close to where I was living and working. A few of their anti-technology members worked in the same shop where I was working at the time. One day, one of them overheard me telling another employee that in order to regain control of the machine tool, we needed to kill the CNC controller. It was an old beast, dating back to 1976. Ok, it was only 15 years old. But back then, CNC technology changed so fast that anything built before 1983 was antiquated by 1984 standards.
The mega-church member heard me talk about killing the CNC controller, and went screaming to the owner about how I was out in the shop with a gun, killing people. I am inside the CNC cabinet testing, trying to find the offending sticking relay, with the power killed, of course. I am not going to mess with 480 volt 3-phase live power. Save that for the mega-church follower who believes that it will be safe from everything if only it believes harder. While my head and arms are inside the cabinet, I hear a strange voice telling me to come out slowly with my gun. It was the local keystone cops, 100% certain that I had a gun.
I ask, “does this meter look like a gun?”
“No.”
“Then why do you assume I have a gun when you can clearly see this is a meter?”
“Duh? I don’t know.”
It was then the mega-church member shows up screaming about how I am on a killing spree. Right then and there, I wanted to take that idiot and hook it up to 3-phase power, just to wake it up. Not the 30 amp line that went to the machine I was diagnosing. The 200 amp line supplying the Blanchard grinder. Yes, “The Beast” that removes transformers from poles without any effort if some idiot started the big motor without first traversing up the grinding stones off the workpiece. I was around for a few transformer explosions.
I found out later that at the mega-church, the mega-preacher gave a mega-sermon about killing and anyone who so much as speaks the word “killing” is automatically a murderer. So I was told, but unable to validate.
I had to assume:
A. He really said that.
B. The mega-church member was half-sleeping during that sermon and changed the context inside its own mind.
I believe “B” is far more plausible, considering the same clown was convinced that we had demons inside the Data General in the office because the employee who maintained it spoke of daemons, which the same mega-church member interpreted as “working with demons” which meant doing the work of “SATAN! Reeee!” Yes, we had a mega-church preacher show up to perform an exorcism on the DG and the poor employee who maintained it. On company time, of course.
It seems that the overly-indoctrinated but unable-to-grasp-reality Wokesters have taken the place of the over-zealous but severely-under-educated “church people.” Back then, the context of a word meant nothing to the “church people.” Today, context is an alien concept to the Wokesters.
I still can’t decide which group is worse. The over-zealous but under-educated church people or the overly-indoctrinated but unable-to-grasp-reality Wokesters.
And today was a Takimag post on how this is killing the classics.
Learning how to not be offended is becoming a lost art.
Anyone who believes perceived safety as promised by governments is more important than freedom needs to study history. Especially that time when Adolph Hitler, Mao Tse-tung, Joe Stalin, and other dictators confiscated all the guns inside their respective countries. The end result was always the same, mass killings.
If the entire USA had a homicide rate comparable to some of its worse cities, it would still take over 300 years to hit the body count of the USSR, almost 1000 years to hit that of China. The gun-grabbing safety Karens, with their asinine gun control laws are basically saying “you can trust the government not to kill millions for hundreds and hundreds of years.”
The gaslighting and outright lies from these aholes is off the scale.
