"Linux Foundation’s AOUSD and ASWF Released Inclusive Language Guide in Tech" - SK, OSTechnix, 12AUG2025

>Have you ever thought about the words we use every day, especially in tech? It turns out, they can make a big difference! The Linux Foundation's Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD) and the Academy Software Foundation (ASWF) recently teamed up to release an Inclusive Language Guide.

>Common Words to Rethink
>The guide also gives us common terms to reconsider, along with friendlier alternatives. Here are a few examples:
>Instead of 'master'/'slave', try 'primary'/'secondary'.
>For 'blacklist'/'whitelist', use 'deny list'/'allow list'.
>Swap 'man hours' for 'labour hours' or 'work hours'.
>Refer to a group as 'folks' or 'team' instead of 'guys'.
>Change 'sanity check' to 'validation check' or 'logic check'.
>When you hear 'grandfathered', consider 'established' or 'rollover'.

>Autodesk
>DreamWorks Animation

LeanOS 16.0.0_r2-20250822.220956

LeanOS second release!
Fixes:

AdvancedPrivacy icon now in settings
ParanoidSense face unlock now added
No more missing microG permissions
Using latest microG release

Note:

For those wondering - the TrebleApp is now in Settings under System. I prefer it there rather than in the main settings page.

Warning:

If you face issues after flashing this version - you may need to wipe your device once since I'm not 100% sure if the previous release was signed properly. This is a one time problem and may not be needed at all.
