Most of it, yes.

I didn’t say anything like that. Why do you have to invent things I said instead of addressing facts I presented?

It’s future-proofing. It means my messages are not only safe today but, even if they are intercepted or leaked somehow, will also be safe in the future.

Probably depends on where you check the data but some surveys show that while 10% of general population identify as LGBTQ (https://news.gallup.com/poll/332522/percentage-americans-lgbt.aspx) only 5% of programmers do (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/ons-data-gay-lesbian-bisexual-jobs-b2436332.html). So it’s a very weak argument.

The fact that you think 5% of population somehow shapes how “majority” thinks shows how deep in the bubble you are. Most programmers just code for work, they don’t care who contributed to the libraries they use.

I know plenty and they don’t care. Lemmy is a bubble where people pay attention to those things. Outside of it no one cares.

Programmers don’t care. This is just some drama for people that like drama.

Is the code racist? If not I don’t care who wrote it.

In Spain we had digital ID since forever. In Poland we have digital ID since couple of years and having ID was mandatory for decades. There’s nothing Orwellian about it. Just because one shitty government supports some policy doesn’t make this policy bad.
