If the views of the programmers are that homosexuals need to be treated

like "White lives matter" is racist, I don't want to touch their products.

You don't have to go to Open Source sites to find this pronoun stupidity. I wonder if DuFuS will be as "forthcoming" when he finds the same garbage on pro Microsoft or Apple sites? Something tells me that the silence will be deafening.
At least Microsoft's 365 "Woke checker" is still optional (it appears)...

Microsoft Word's Wokeness checker is asleep on the job
Microsoft has added a diversity checker to its Office 365 spelling and
grammar tool (h/t Tony Thorne (@tonythorne007). You can find it by going
to Word’s Preferences menu. Click the Spelling and Grammar option, then
Grammar & Refinements. If you check the appropriate boxes in the
drop-down menu, Word will scan your writing for age and cultural bias,
ethnic slurs, gender bias, gender-neutral pronouns, gender-specific
language, racial bias, sexual orientation bias, and socioeconomic bias.
The goal is to replace the sensitivity readers that some publishers use
to vet manuscripts for conscious or unconscious bias and anything else
that might offend an audience.
I unleashed Microsoft Woke, as its right-wing critics might call it, on
some passages about gendered and genderless pronouns to see whether it
could read for inclusivity better than a human can.

I've gotten to the point that I only want to purchase the best product,

a fan of not being able to upgrade my machine or change its components.
Going from the 2TB encrypted nvme and 32GB of RAM I currently have to
any Mac would feel like a significant downgrade. Apparently, their M3 is
not that much faster than my 5900HS either.

I think we're in the same boat as far as technology goes. I'd like to go
to Linux exclusively but I have to admit that the events of the past few
years have me rethinking that since it looks like wokism, not
innovation, is going to be the priority for open-source going forward.
You assume that the Woke, political loudmouths in Open Source are the ones driving open source innovation. They're more likely the drones. The backbone of open source are developers who just develop are are doing it after coming home from a day job — they don't have time for the brain-dead Woke bullshit.
Woke bullshit doesn't produce an OS, developers do.

The open-source is now infested with these pedophiles. It's truly
nauseating and taking away from the enjoyment one might get from using
Linux. The sad part is that Apple and Microsoft are just as woke. Where
these child diddlers are breeding is beyond me, but I'd love to destroy
their base the way the characters of the old arcade game Gauntlet did.
The pagan (satanic) "West" is infested with pedophiles. If you think they're not infesting Microsoft and Apple, think again.

Since Microsoft serves the legal and financial communities, it doesn't
have a choice but to keep such idiocy optional. While businesses and
academia can afford to subscribe to this woke stupidity, the other are
number-based and don't care whether you would prefer to be addressed as
"ma'am" when they refuse to give you a mortgage because your credit
score is complete shit. They also don't care if you think you're a woman
after you've raped a dozen of them.
Actually the financial companies are dropping this Woke DEI crap. They're finding out it's getting in their way of hiring competent people. I wonder how long it will take for Microsoft and Apple to figure that out?

Or so you assume. Obviously you still don't "get" Open Source. You can't "liquidate" developers because they can always fork the project. This is not Microsoft or Apple, where it's "their way or the highway."

The pagan (satanic) "West" is infested with pedophiles. If you think they're
not infesting Microsoft and Apple, think again.
They are, they clearly are. That's why I've gotten to a point where I
believe that we're all just better off choosing the best product rather
than thinking that any of these software or hardware companies share our
values. There is nothing heroic about using Linux. A lot of us have
deluded ourselves into thinking that we're changing something by using
it, but now it appears that supporting the operating system is feeding
the very people who would want us to be removed from the face of the
Earth. At this point, if I'm going to spend money, I'll only look at
whether the hardware or software I'm buying actually provides me with
the entirety of the functionality I am looking for.
I don't think I'm changing anything in society by using Linux. What I'm changing is getting rid of the control Microsoft and Apple wants to have on my computing. Open Source is not a religion (at least not for me) it's a means to a freer computing platform where I can make my own choices, without ads and without my OS "reporting home" 24/7. Unfortunately, just like the world in general, there are a lot of Woke morons involved in Open Source. Until the aspell spell checker tries to replace "him," "her" or "it" with "they" or some other asinine "gender" word then I'll keep using it.
