    I heard there was a miscommunication from the project lead and the project was forked

    Be interesting to see how many in the article from 1995 are still living that lifestyle today… Must look like that old lemon party shock pic today.

    At least they made it open source. Someone forked it after the bisexuality devs said they will not include non binary people. Migrating all my sexual fantasies to pansexuality already

      Honestly I know this is unpopular but Pansexuality was a cash-grab. They just rereleased Bisexuality with a new marketing campaign.

      Everybody most certainly did not switch over! They hard forked it and sure some people moved to the new fork because they liked the maintainers more and it has the community they vibe with, but a lot of people stayed with the old one and are still using it. The trademark stayed with the original fork, which means the new fork had to develop a new flag which not everyone in the community is stoked about…

      There’s a couple side-forks with small communities, like Omni, but most people consider them pretty niche.

        And honestly bisexual is just such a stable fork overall. It functions well with mainstream architectures but also makes a great entry point into sexualities that aren’t expressed in binary format. AND if you actually do the work of reading into the docs you find out that it’s not even just limited to the traditional two-gender dichotomy. So if you really really need some super specific fork of a fork of a fork for some super specifically narrow use-case that’s fine, but honestly in 90% of the cases bisexual actually covers most of the features you need and is widely recognized / compatible with the other stuff you’re using with half the effort.

        Edit: just wanna give a shoutout to my hubs. I grew up as a tumblr pan girl and honestly he’s super based as a bi dude. First of all it’s way harder to be bi as a dude and also he introduced me to the actual bi manifesto and how the bi’s have always been super inclusive to begin with by not assuming there are two genders to begin with but also that trans girls & boys are just girls & boys so that aspect doesn’t count as an extra gender to be attracted to anyway soooo. Mans has always been super based and I love him a lot.

      I’ve been working on the open source LGBTQ+ality since they added the + back in 2012 and never looked back. It’s a bit more maintenance, but I’ve always been a so it yourselfer.

        I remember applying for jobs in 2015 that were asking for 5+years experience with LGBTQ+ality for an entry level position! Fucking bonkers.

            So much easier to just use PyLGBTQ if you don’t need the performance.

            GoLGBT looks interesting, but it lacks queer support.

            There’s this thing called LGBTR, if you want the speed of LGBTQ++ with the modern features of LGBTQ#. Let’s hope its lead developer isn’t a dead beat community manager, who will inevitably destroy it through mismanagement and embracing AI after he manages to make some slop images for his presentations.

              As long as you’ve got access to the bootloader you can install whatever sexuality you like. You can even distro hop if you feel like it. Try different ones on for size.

                I’m in Canada, our bootloaders are always locked. Wait. I’m getting too caught up in the analogy. Anyway, fuck Samsung.

      Only because terfs stole the bi label, and now not many people use pan either, since terfs claim pansexual means “will fuck children, dogs, and the kitchen sink”

        Don’t listen to TERFs, many claim to be “politically lesbian”, but instead they’re just the MGTOW of women, and also (quite ironically) lesbophobic.
