I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

Someone made a PR to refer to users in documentation as “they” instead of “he”. The lead maintainer rejected it saying “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.” and then added a part against personal politics in the code of conduct. One brigade attracted for good reason later, another maintainer quietly merged the PR. It’s very weird, but not anything too serious IMO.
name change
In February 2004, MandrakeSoft lost a court case against Hearst Corporation, owners of King Features Syndicate. Hearst contended that MandrakeSoft infringed upon King Features’ trademarked character Mandrake the Magician. As a precaution, MandrakeSoft renamed its products by removing the space between the brand name and the product name and changing the first letter of the product name to lower case, thus creating one word. Starting from version 10.0, Mandrake Linux became known as mandrakelinux, and its logo changed accordingly. Similarly, MandrakeMove (a Live CD version) became Mandrakemove.
In April 2005, Mandrakesoft announced the corporate acquisition of Conectiva, a Brazilian-based company that produced a Linux distribution for Portuguese-speaking (Brazil) and Spanish-speaking Latin America. As a result of this acquisition and the legal dispute with Hearst Corporation, Mandrakesoft announced that the company was changing its name to Mandriva, and that their Linux distribution Mandrake Linux would henceforward be known as Mandriva Linux.
they appear for all slashed (between slashes) IPA pronunciations for me!

I made a game where you battle the NSA and other stuff once
am i the only one who thought it was nyuh-inks
I hear NSA is creating an eight-dimensional KOSANET that scrapes the information from top-secret backdoors in your IDEs to be sent to this marvelous website’s server-side caching.
plus eggs were getting ridiculously expensive. not long ago they were at $12 a dozen when we bought them
Either way, it’s clearly intended as its own thing, its own product, for end-user use, not just distro devs.
The GRUB update is why more Arch needs more testers lol. They do have separate repositories for testing, but none of the active testers had the relevant problematic configuration that caused that problem during the testing period, and then it shipped to stable. The package maintainer did configure the package to not include the breaking change that same day, but it doesn’t look like that was ever shipped for some reason.
Ubuntu has over 100 forks. Is Ubuntu a distro template? Something being forkable merely means that it is libre software.
I just don’t understand how someone can claim that Arch is a “distro template”.
There are so many more aspects of Arch that you conveniently ignored. The filesystem hierarchy, the special compilation arguments options tweaks and configuration for e.g. dynamic linking, and how Arch has way more packages than just “some packages in the base system”. And no, I don’t mean the AUR. Arch is no less of a distro than any other distro. What is a distro if not a large swathe of packages meticulously tweaked to interop gloriously?
you accept the stupidity within
yet another case for how nearly everything is better than manjaro
Check my comment, he was referring to the user reading the documentation in general.
