No, it's a good thing. I just care less when people overcompensate towards specific demographics, and especially when the places they complain about it most just happen to be places where everyone assumes the person they are talking to is of a "privileged demographic".

You're exactly right. Here's whats also happening: people who aren't used to getting treated like white male native English speaking software developers are getting treated like them. I guess they don't like it.

On the bright side, us white male English speaking software developers get to benefit from social justice by proxy because we might be women or minorities.

Comment Re:The worst problem with Android: No updates. (Score 1) 116

I think the message here is what it means for the unsavvy consumer, just like how "security of android as an OS" is completely trivial when compared to minimal app review process and a severely dysfunctional 3rd-party ecosystem (which again, is designed to decrease restrictions and barrier to entry to attract as many use cases as possible, including walmart $50 tablets).

The average consumer (that actually cares) will have a shitty experience with android because its unclear what you have to do to get a good experience, and end up defaulting to iOS because its a consistently above average experience.
