Early in the article and later notes the software developer is named
Allen, but never once says he or him.  Instead says 'they' several times.

And you've just gotten an answer as to why I went back to Windows. The
experience is extremely disheartening. I don't want to use Linux if it
gives these child predators the impression that I approve of them in any
way.

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 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.

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?

I'm wondering the same thing. However, it seems that they will only drop
it once they stop getting government kickbacks for subscribing to that
garbage. I imagine that will change soon now that a normal human being
is in office again. He's also just removed Pedo Joe's security
clearance, so you know he's not going to take it easy on the child
molesters this time around.

Ultimately, for the financial companies, it comes down to cold, hard cash.
So if something is in the way of getting more money, they'll get rid of that
something. Which seems to be the case with DEI, which started happening even
when the senile pervert was still in power. It turned out to be a detriment.
Apple and Microsoft will probably never "officially" dump the "gender
affirmation" crap, but they'll probably begin to ignore it more and more and
they're main, money-making market is business.
