1 year agoIt has a new meaning now. No one cares and few would bother looking up where it comes from. Languages are dynamic and change all the time. The word faggot meant a stick of wood but now it means something else and few would use it to refer to someone else. This doesn’t mean we should change literature that was written before this change. tl;dr: the meaning has changed and no one cares.
I read hackernews from feedbro. Found many interesting programming articles since I started.
