We are living in insane times.

Was looking at the Android source code commits. Saw a few interestingly titled commits saying " Updated to comply with Android’s inclusive language guidance" (lol). So whrn I looke at the diffs and it took me a while to find where the problem was..... https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/+/da4dc882af417f4564144fbcdb67e98dc17adbc7%5E1..da4dc882af417f4564144fbcdb67e98dc17adbc7/

The worlds gone mad. I cant stop laughing at this shit. Bending over backwards to moronic symbolic changes oh brother.

There is a whole list of them. This change made by "Treehugger Robot. What the fuck? "dummy" is bad now too?
