Re: my lenovo laptop
I agree that peronal life choices of Debian developers should have no bearing
on whether to use Debian software. My bitch is with identity politics
generally and, more specifically, with Debian's apparent decision to expressly
seek transgender developers. The personal life choices of its developers
should have no bearing, one way or the other on the developer's suitability to
Debian. Its none of Debian's business.
