Description klausi 2014-10-24 09:43:25 UTC
Commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=989fc2c61cb3c5376bd8bff6b2cfba9e4d740ffc introduced gendered pronouns like "his" instead of the generic "their". We should not assume that users are male, since we are an inclusive community towards all genders.

Oh, my. What have I done?

Changed in git.
Comment 2 klausi 2014-10-24 10:15:59 UTC
Cool, thanks!

There is a small typo "... session of a user ends, ther user's systemd instance ...", should be just "the".
Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2014-10-24 10:41:17 UTC
Fixed that too.

Could you please pass the commit back to wherver you got your hints about this from (twitter?)? I really don't want all those people who are too lazy to check before they post a bug coming by here. Thanks!
Comment 4 klausi 2014-10-24 11:06:31 UTC
There are a couple of other places using "his" and "himself".

any chance you can attach those as git-format-patch formatted patches here? the github UI apparently doesn't have a way how i can download something i can apply with git am? or am i blind?
Comment 6 klausi 2014-10-24 11:28:27 UTC
Just append ".patch" to a pull request :-)
