- avoid any political topics. Well, today I am bending that rule a little bit,
- because this is too funny to ignore. My goal here is just to make some people
- laugh. If this humor isn't for you, then that's ok. I hope we can still be
- friends.</p><p>Recently, Redhat, IBM, and some other big tech companies have launched
- "inclusivenaming.org". If you haven't gone and checked out the site, then you
- probably should. It'll give you a good laugh. Essentially, they are certifying
- that their software projects do <em>not</em> include the words "blacklist/whitelist" or
- "master/slave", and they encourage others to follow suit.</p><p>I personally find this policing of language and virtual signaling really
- hilarious. You can imagine all the new tweets that can come out of it. Tweets
- like, "Just watching 'Leader and commander, far side of the world. Russell
- Crowe is a really great mast--I mean--leader."</p><p>So I figured, given a few hours, that I could make my own version of
- inclusivenaming.org...So you should really go check out
- <a href="https://propernaming.org">propernaming.org</a>. Seriously, it's a good laugh, and
- 'laughter is good for the digestion'.</p><p>Where-ever you line up on this issue, is fine with me. But can we all agree that
- actual slavery is worse than the language that we use? There are a ton of
- actual slaves all around the worse. Many of them are sex slaves. :( So, check
- out <a href="https://propernaming.org">propernaming.org</a>, and if you have some money to
- spare, then please consider <a href="https://propernaming.org/money-raised.html">donating some
- money</a> to end slavery. :)</p></div></article></section></main><footer><p>© 2020 Joshua Branson.
