Yeah, adding more icons just adds to the fun. I don't consider myself religious but I was raised under Christian beliefs and I personally think the star of David looks kinda cool and dont mind seeing everywhere even though I'm not Jewish. If anything I prefer seeing all the different religious symbols because I love seeing people celebrating life regardless of my own beliefs
@@4ngeldus739Christmas on US and Europe is fine, but for other parts of the world, it's western agenda trying to impose itself on Free and Open Source software. We don't need those cultural references in India, China, Brazil, Ghana, Taiwan, and many other places. That's why it is a problem. Those who have internet access AND free time to contribute AND the knowlegde to contribute are already an elite, and unfortunately those happen to be, from the most part, from places with a certain cultural agenda. Of course no one will see a problem on the US or Europe, it's their culture. But don't assume so in other places of the world. The religion complaint is kinda irrelevant tho.
Only issue I would see with adding for example say jewish and muslim holidays are well neither base their holidays on the Gregorian calendar. But thankfully there are libraries for that for example libhdate (jewish calendar), lets not get into details like when a calendar day starts. I wouldn't mind having mpv be able to save screenshots with jewish dates (i.e 13th of Tevet 5784) but dragging in multiple libraries to get fancy icons at the correct dates might be a bit overkill even if a nice gesture. My point isn't to reduce the will to add stuff, rather point out it's a bit tricky.
clisp (a common lisp interpreter) actually has a menorah as its logo, with it slowly being filled with candles during hanukkah. Other than being impressive that the guys calculate the lunar calendar locally as they do, it has sparked quite a few "offended" messages too.
"Being offended is not an argument, and will never be." So true! Sometimes, people complain about others not being inclusive, but fail to realize they're the ones excluding themselves out for no other reason more than being annoyed.
@@jasamkrava I could see being offended when an American or European used the swastika as a symbol. Some things really should be seen as offensive. But those are extreme cases. Hey, maybe you should have your OS know which religion you are, so everyone can automatically display appropriate symbols! ... but make it optional, if you ever want German customers, who don't want their computers to know too much about them. (Google is finally filming again in Germany - after how many years?)
I think some things can certainly be offensive to the point that they should be removed. For example, making the logo into a plane on September 11th to commemorate 9/11 would be offensive. Or making the logo into a swastika on the 9th of November to commemorate the Kristallnacht would also be very offensive. But taking offense to a Santa hat is a bit silly imo. If they don't like it they can "go fork themselves"
@@KaiHenningsen Though, swastika is a symbol of piece and gold fortune no? just my country f*cked it up at one point lol _technically speaking austrians fault, but our fault for falling for it_
This is the average attitude of a Santa Denier. Whenever they see anything Christmas related, they want it out of their sight complaining that it's a false holiday and they want it removed ignoring all of the signs of the big red man and his existence.
While a lot of what Christmas is today IS somewhat of a "stolen" or "adopted" pagan holiday that as far as I know was adopted/used by the Christian to try and convert them to Christianity originally (lookup yule). I am pretty sure Santa was originally something that came from the Nordic countries (he was not red) and was adopted later on, not sure if the Christians used it, but possibly. But honestly, while I don't care at all for the atmosphere this time of year (probably my least favourite time of year) and I am an atheist, I couldn't care less that some icons have the Santa hat, I don't see how anyone could care about that. And overall, I assume most cultures and religions have stuff for Winter and Summer as it was very important to agriculture. The Santa hat has nothing to do with all of that.
As a Jew, I find the notion of Jews getting that offended by a Santa hat etc. absolutely insane. Whoever they are, if they’re not trolls, they must be absolutely miserable a couple months of every year seeing those accursed hats everywhere when they should just chill and quietly celebrate Chanukah
@@AURON2401 Though it does come from some Christian roots (Saint Nickolas, Celebration of Christ), you do not have to be a Christian to celebrate it. one of the key axoms of celebration is being a good person and to keep on giving. nobody should have an issue with it.
@@le9038 ? It has 0 Christian roots at all. It's origins has always been pagan to begin with, Christians adapted it into their religion, stealing it, even. It's almost like they didn't have any religion to begin with.
@@le9038 Christmas's "Christian roots" is actually a pagan holiday that was appropriated to try and trick the less devout into converting before resorting to more messy and direct genocide tactics. Same as the vast majority of other "Christian" events.
You are aware chanukah ended on the 15th? So not much to celebrate currently. Another jewish perspective, I don't care what other people do as long as they don't force me to participate. And if there will be some religious graphics in applications I use I would prefer if I could disable it. But then again I've never seen this specific even if I'm a long time mpv/mplayer user. But I would assume its not to hard to fix yourself if needed, I would suspect you don't even need to patch, compile etc just overwrite the chrismas logo with the normal one and done.
There are people who wake up every morning looking for something/anything to offend themselves with. They are usually successful. These are the most miserable people you have ever met and they want everyone else to be just as miserable as they are. Tell them where to shove it.
Unfortunately a deserved rude response can get quickly turned into political ragebait materials posted all over social networks, if these trolls put their worthless identity in front and center of an issue discussion - and it wouldn''t surprise me for one bit, if they post issues like these solely to get maintainers in trouble.
Yeah, this kind of issues shouldn't go any further from the maintainer saying "I don't give a shit" and locking the discussion, and so on for every issue that pops up. However, that would eventually take a toll on maintainers that have to deal with it.
Well, the FOSS comunity already satisfied my ideological quirks this year by issuing kernel 6.6.6, so it would be absolutely fair to let other people enjoy Christmas.
@@hardikilusdopadikus5465 that one has been argued about since the 2nd century, with Irenaeus claiming that it was an error and also claimed that people who'd talked to St. John directly had confirmed it was 666 despite the earliest remaining recording of Revelation (Papyrus 115) showing χιϛ and the having it fully written out as hexakosioi deka hex. So yeah that argument is nearly as old as the church itself.
No one is forcing you to use the software then. There are plenty of video players that are neither mpv or VLC. I'm sure many of them are great video players in their own right.
We live in a world where people complain more than they solve. it has been a growing majority that has stemmed from years of inaction and constant nagging. the fact that people want to complain more than they want to solve shows that they are not the right people to rule this world. and though it may be unfavorable to mention this, but this has also stemmed into politics with people voting for naggers rather than solvers. we have ran out of things to complain about, so we have invented our own problems. you are not meant to please these people, tell them to do it themselves.

Clearly what we need is an additional ISO standard following ISO 639-1 and ISO 1366-1 formats, where a chosen religious selection can be specified. So, for example, we'd have en-US-At for English-speaking American atheists de-AT-Ch for German-speaking Austrian Christians etc. Set your locale on system install, and all browsers and other apps an be tooled to respect the standard, and show only those custom icons appropriate to the deeply held beliefs of the individual user.
Another example of VLC being mega based. I'm not Christian. I was of a religion before that doesn't celebrate Christmas, but I didn't care then either. People are overblowing it. It's happy time. Ignore the religious reasons and have fun.
@@jamesphillips2285the original celebration comes from Europe, it was a nordic celebration to Odin if I'm not mistaken. I could be deeply mistaken tho
damn the living embodiment of the antitheist stereotype really does exist Look, I'm down for trolling annoying Christians and their weird attempts to insert their religion into everything around the holiday season. But come on dude, santa and the holiday stuff around him is barely even religious at all, if you wanted to make your own MPV fork to do this that would be fair enough (and actually pretty funny) but insisting that someone else do all the work for it is very silly.
Santa is not religious at all. It's a fictional character made purely for commercial reasons. I don't get why so many of these guys complaining online fail to see that.
It's because these degenerates are stuck in an endless cycle of feeling entitled and then offended, manifesting almost as if there was a mass outbreak of histrionic personality disorder. Such people need to be told to "f_ck off until they can properly behave" way more often.
is Christmas even a Christian holiday anymore? we just give presents to family and use imagery of a Coca-Cola mascot from the 60's and pine trees with snow. fun fact: Jesus birthday(or whatever it was) has nothing to do with coke, wasn't in December and there is no snow in Jerusalem.
both MPV and VLC have based takes on this but i do expect consistency from my software , i dont have any problem with it it being a santa hat , i just expect the logo of the software I use to just be the logo , not the logo plus decoration nor do I expect the logo i see to change unless the official logo has actually changed ... this is why I believe that instead of changing it with the option to turn it off should not be the way to do this but maybe just include a notification informing the users how they can turn the decoration on if they want to , in a similar way to the VLC update notifications
This is like C# compiler (Roslyn, pull 3507) issue that replaced all instances of "whitelist" with "globalignorelist" 😂😂 Or, basically any time they change the slave/master terminology. How do people become like this 😂
The issue is, that some people ave an issue with everything and then do something to cancel that something, and in the end, nothing was accomplished to improve anything, because some grumpy SJW did something with no thinking.
The most ironic thing at 10:45 is that the swastika is actually a Hindu religious symbol for peace and prosperity. The symbol used by the Nazis is called the Hakencrauz
Even more : the hindu swastika has it's "arms" reversed comparing to the "little bohemian corporal's" one, it explains pretty much in a single logo the very purpose of Dolfi's program : war and destruction. Merry Christmas linuxphile !
Santa is literally not even Christian lmao Santa gets his roots in the 1680s as an icon of festivity, it wasn't until way way later that a single person wrote a book merging the idea of St. Nicholas (the real person) and Santa. Its a long boring ass story tbh byt idc if they "adopted" it because December celebrations have almost nothing to do with religion for the majority of people.
my understanding of Santa is that he's derived from a combination of Christian folk tales of Saint Nicholas and Germanic Pagan stories about Woden/Odin and the Wild Hunt, which had already merged by the time Martin Luther came around.
It's a Santa hat. Last time I checked, that was a secular tradition involving lying to children by telling them Odin is going to give them presents. There is no Santa in the Bible.
I've seen this way too many times, this is not just a troll post, this is how these "easily offended" people worm their way into a project to destroy it from the inside. Reject it all.
LOL. Mery Christmas everyone! (oh sorry I am offensive by saying that now) I remember that I explored some github issues around logos of VS Code with a LOT of debate indeed, but that was not even around Christmas as far as I know, it was just about the color of the regular logo or something. Apparently there is a lot to do about logos in general. I know that for the VSCodium project, which is that modified version with all telemetry removed, they simply do an election and to logo changes every once in a while.
I wrote one of the comments on the second troll issue by PurryPlatypus that was deleted, and it wasn't even all that inflammatory or even rude in my opinion. I was literally just talking about how I'm an atheist from a COMPLETELY non-Christian family (mom was raised Jewish but converted to paganism before I was born, and dad was raised Christian, but became an atheist before I was born) that has ALWAYS celebrated Christmas, not as a religious holiday, but as a celebration of the spirit of giving. I also argued that that's how even most American Christians celebrate it as well, and have celebrated it for years. I forget if I also included the fact that Santa Claus isn't a religious figure of any kind, but more of a cultural figure in general, but I do know that I ended the comment with telling them that they're overreacting. Anyway, as an atheist who thinks that religion is a plague upon the human psyche, I am joining the War on Christmas, on the side of Christmas.
Wait … Santa is one of the thing Christians complain the most about since it's basically turning Christmas into a capitalistic holiday, I'm confused now 🤔
@@Hamtarotaro The whole Santa thing comes originally from the Nordic countries if I'm not mistaken, so it comes originally from Europe and it's very old, probably from before Christianity came to Europe. So that's why a lot of countries have something similar, like Sinterklaas for example in my country Belgium and in The Netherlands. It's a bit earlier (December 5th), but it's basically very similar to Santa. I really don't see the big fuss about the icons even though I really dislike the Christmas atmosphere, it's such an unimportant thing.
Actually the problem with Santa is that you're literally lying to your kids, that's pretty messed up. And to make it worse, you're being a hypocrite, because you teach (hopefully) your children not to lie. Also also; it's very damaging to their walk with Christ, to make them believe something they can't see, only to do a rug pull on them when they get older and find out it's fake...
First of all Christmas is not an original christian holiday. It has its origin in the nordic "Julfest" which celebrates the day when the nights become shorter again. Back in the days people hadn't that much to do during winter, they were waiting for spring to happen and afraid of running out of food before that. The church christianised that feast then and millennia's later, Coca Cola made a commercial event :) "Santa Claus" is of christian origin though, it refers to Nikolaus, Bishop of Myra in the 4th century, who became St. Nikolaus later on to the Church. Historically evident he is known to have donated all his inherited wealth to the poor and he suffered from the prosecution of christianity during his time as a bishop, thus he is a martyr in the sense of the Catholic Church. In Europe, December 6th is his holiday. And as christians, we find the Santa Claus variant funny, but missing all relationship to christianity. In my area, Bavaria, still a roman-catholic dominated area, St. Nikolaus isn't pictured in red, but as a Bishop, wearing a Mitra and a white dress, like bishops do on festivities. The Santa Claus hat and dress is a Coco-Cola invention. Or was it Disney? Whoever, it wasn't the Church.
I worked with a software developer who was a Seventh Day Advantist. He wasn't keen on any religious symbolism. There was a tool in our company that would spew out messages for different holidays. He wasn't keen on them - especially the Christian ones. Just a data point.
I'm a french Atheist. I don't understand. Santa is not christian. Only baby Jesus, his crib and the scene around it are Christian. Can't trolls find something more nice and fun to do with everyone ? 😒
I know these people are being too dumb, but I somewhat understand the feeling. I am from a Muslim background and never lived in a western country, so the symbolism of the hat just doesn't invoke anything for me. It doesn't bother me or anything but it sometimes feels that the holidays of the west are taken to be the Universal holidays.There are some people in the west who are under the impression that everyone is celebrating their holidays. We always have this impression online. This is the effect of many projects being run in places where they celebrate these holidays, so it's understandable. But sometimes it feels strange when too many logos and websites change on you and assume you are by default celebrating. It's not something that warrants these teenage atheist rebellion, it's just a mildly nagging feeling
The easy answer all around would be to have a popup the first time the docration would show and save that to their config "We have a special icon for the holiday period [icon image here] Enable | Disable" but somehow its always just "Bah being offended is stupid!" bullshit that comes up.
I've had something very similar happen a lot. I used to run a community that celebrates Pride Month. Every single year, there was always someone saying we should be celebrating veterans day instead. And each time I would always tell them, our community leaders are free to create material and plans to do so. But interesting enough, once Pride Month was over, they would never mention veterans ever again (interesting). One year I got tired of it and kept up our Pride Month material for another month, that got them real angry
I'd love to see different decorations on VLC or other programs, based on multi-cultural calendars. Just like my paper calendar has little notes in the date about some observance or another; does anyone complain about those? Different cultures solved the solar/lunar sync problems in different ways, but sometimes the lunar calendar used by Abrahamic religions and Chinese tradition synchronize have a coincidence with the Gregorian calendar as well: One time I went on vacation in Mexico, and had *an entire week* of holidays, including Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, and literal parades in the street for Fat Tuesday and Carnival. This February, Ash Wednesday and Valentines Day are on the exact same day. It would be cool to see the logos combined, decorating VLC etc. Meanwhile, the Year of the Dragon starts on the 10th; pretty close.
I thought this was going to be about the recent SSH vuln, and having to work over the holidays to update every SSH server and client...remember Meltdown?
They implemented something in a configuration file, which is fine. However, just because it's FOSS doesn't mean they've to remove something because someone doesn't feel included by it as there's open source Christian software out there. Xiphos, for example. As for the snowflake icon, I suppose it is funny. I would have brought the hat back and said it's a tribute to Nintendo as a hybrid of Mario and Link's hats.
Merry Christmas, Brodie! Next time record the outro and forget about the main part :0 haha you’re awesome, thanks for another year of whispering news from the FOSS world
Lol, as a Satanist, I find it ridiculous that people want to"satanic holidays" to be included. Our most sacred holiday is the person's birthday, so it's different for each person. Our other holidays are Halloween and Walpurgisnacht, which don't have satanic origins Plus, Christmas is really awesome Indulge in all the delicious food and candy, spend time with loved ones. beautiful aesthetics, receive and give gifts and buy shit for lower prices; sounds right up our alley
I've been spending my time writing a program that doesn't exist yet. People like these trolls really makes me question whether I should go open source. Too many people who take advantage of open source, but doesn't contribute to it other than their opinions. Suggestions are fine, but open source projects don't owe you.
who the hell does that? companies only do it for money, lgbt people do not really appreciate the one month obligatory unicorn vomit logos. these are just trolls.
Why on the first place anyone disscusses such shit instead of stating "my repo-my rules, gtfo || you're welcome to fork and make your own holidays gimmick".
I don't like most FOSS communities, and by extension their software. This is one of the reasons why. I appreciate that ReactOS added a Santa hat for the first time this year.
I hate this secularization of Christmas. First it was replacing "Merry Christmas" with "Happy Holidays", and now it's morons being offended by Santa Hats. Just enjoy the extra vacation time if you don't celebrate and stop ruining it for those who do.
There are extremists of almost any topic. One can see that in the console "wars" or even in regards to which operating system you should run. It's almost always the people, not the topic, that are the issue.
Seems like maybe there's room for a free desktop standard for central configuration of your preferred festive calendar and icons? Super easy in principle to overlay customization onto existing icons or otherwise composite, and also simple to distribute collections of per-app custom icons. Just going to be a matter if anyone cares enough to write code or only enough to bitch at free projects. So much of the mess is how this debate is split across 1000 different repos instead of a project trying to connect folks to their preferred customizations.
You missed an opportunity to tell people that a huge part of the point of open source software is that users can modify it themselves, that is why I was initially attracted to it. People who would complain to developers asking them to do something as simple as replace a jpeg should just switch to proprietary software.

This is the average attitude of a Santa Denier. Whenever they see anything Christmas related, they want it out of their sight complaining that it's a false holiday and they want it removed ignoring all of the signs of the big red man and his existence.
While a lot of what Christmas is today IS somewhat of a "stolen" or "adopted" pagan holiday that as far as I know was adopted/used by the Christian to try and convert them to Christianity originally (lookup yule). I am pretty sure Santa was originally something that came from the Nordic countries (he was not red) and was adopted later on, not sure if the Christians used it, but possibly. But honestly, while I don't care at all for the atmosphere this time of year (probably my least favourite time of year) and I am an atheist, I couldn't care less that some icons have the Santa hat, I don't see how anyone could care about that.
And overall, I assume most cultures and religions have stuff for Winter and Summer as it was very important to agriculture. The Santa hat has nothing to do with all of that.
Santa deniers are worse than the flat earthers.
at least they are not satan believers

As a Jew, I find the notion of Jews getting that offended by a Santa hat etc. absolutely insane. Whoever they are, if they’re not trolls, they must be absolutely miserable a couple months of every year seeing those accursed hats everywhere when they should just chill and quietly celebrate Chanukah
If they're offended because it's a "Christian symbol", they should stop being offended.
Santa and the santa hat isn't even remotely christian.
@@AURON2401 Though it does come from some Christian roots (Saint Nickolas, Celebration of Christ), you do not have to be a Christian to celebrate it. one of the key axoms of celebration is being a good person and to keep on giving. nobody should have an issue with it.
@@le9038 ?
It has 0 Christian roots at all. It's origins has always been pagan to begin with, Christians adapted it into their religion, stealing it, even.
It's almost like they didn't have any religion to begin with.
@@le9038 Christmas's "Christian roots" is actually a pagan holiday that was appropriated to try and trick the less devout into converting before resorting to more messy and direct genocide tactics. Same as the vast majority of other "Christian" events.
You are aware chanukah ended on the 15th? So not much to celebrate currently.
Another jewish perspective, I don't care what other people do as long as they don't force me to participate. And if there will be some religious graphics in applications I use I would prefer if I could disable it. But then again I've never seen this specific even if I'm a long time mpv/mplayer user. But I would assume its not to hard to fix yourself if needed, I would suspect you don't even need to patch, compile etc just overwrite the chrismas logo with the normal one and done.
There are people who wake up every morning looking for something/anything to offend themselves with. They are usually successful. These are the most miserable people you have ever met and they want everyone else to be just as miserable as they are. Tell them where to shove it.
So many things can and should be solved with a simple "fuck off and touch grass"
Unfortunately a deserved rude response can get quickly turned into political ragebait materials posted all over social networks, if these trolls put their worthless identity in front and center of an issue discussion - and it wouldn''t surprise me for one bit, if they post issues like these solely to get maintainers in trouble.
Yeah, this kind of issues shouldn't go any further from the maintainer saying "I don't give a shit" and locking the discussion, and so on for every issue that pops up. However, that would eventually take a toll on maintainers that have to deal with it.
Well the second part yeah, touch grass.
Well, the FOSS comunity already satisfied my ideological quirks this year by issuing kernel 6.6.6, so it would be absolutely fair to let other people enjoy Christmas.
Maybe the ideological quirk in question is an appreciation of metal music @@hardikilusdopadikus5465
@@hardikilusdopadikus5465 that one has been argued about since the 2nd century, with Irenaeus claiming that it was an error and also claimed that people who'd talked to St. John directly had confirmed it was 666 despite the earliest remaining recording of Revelation (Papyrus 115) showing χιϛ and the having it fully written out as hexakosioi deka hex. So yeah that argument is nearly as old as the church itself.
MPV's christmas hat disabling option is named funnily though, if I understand it correctly after the Grinch XD

Sometimes, people who are offended deserve to be.
We live in a world where people complain more than they solve. it has been a growing majority that has stemmed from years of inaction and constant nagging. the fact that people want to complain more than they want to solve shows that they are not the right people to rule this world. and though it may be unfavorable to mention this, but this has also stemmed into politics with people voting for naggers rather than solvers. we have ran out of things to complain about, so we have invented our own problems. you are not meant to please these people, tell them to do it themselves.
Why are people even feeding the troll? I don't understand, "don't feed the troll" was something i was taught when i first got an internet connection.

Clearly what we need is an additional ISO standard following ISO 639-1 and ISO 1366-1 formats, where a chosen religious selection can be specified. So, for example, we'd have

de-AT-Ch for German-speaking Austrian Christians
etc. Set your locale on system install, and all browsers and other apps an be tooled to respect the standard, and show only those custom icons appropriate to the deeply held beliefs of the individual user.

But come on dude, santa and the holiday stuff around him is barely even religious at all, if you wanted to make your own MPV fork to do this that would be fair enough (and actually pretty funny) but insisting that someone else do all the work for it is very silly.
Santa is not religious at all. It's a fictional character made purely for commercial reasons. I don't get why so many of these guys complaining online fail to see that.
since when is the fat coca cola man religious
It's because these degenerates are stuck in an endless cycle of feeling entitled and then offended, manifesting almost as if there was a mass outbreak of histrionic personality disorder. Such people need to be told to "f_ck off until they can properly behave" way more often.

both MPV and VLC have based takes on this
but i do expect consistency from my software , i dont have any problem with it it being a santa hat , i just expect the logo of the software I use to just be the logo , not the logo plus decoration nor do I expect the logo i see to change unless the official logo has actually changed ... this is why I believe that instead of changing it with the option to turn it off should not be the way to do this but maybe just include a notification informing the users how they can turn the decoration on if they want to , in a similar way to the VLC update notifications

Santa is literally not even Christian lmao Santa gets his roots in the 1680s as an icon of festivity, it wasn't until way way later that a single person wrote a book merging the idea of St. Nicholas (the real person) and Santa. Its a long boring ass story tbh byt idc if they "adopted" it because December celebrations have almost nothing to do with religion for the majority of people.
my understanding of Santa is that he's derived from a combination of Christian folk tales of Saint Nicholas and Germanic Pagan stories about Woden/Odin and the Wild Hunt, which had already merged by the time Martin Luther came around.
As an atheist, i do not believe in christmas, but i certainly do believe my stocks in the Coca-Cola Company.
You're not going to win here. There are religions which are offended by festivals and merriment.
It's a Santa hat. Last time I checked, that was a secular tradition involving lying to children by telling them Odin is going to give them presents. There is no Santa in the Bible.

I remember that I explored some github issues around logos of VS Code with a LOT of debate indeed, but that was not even around Christmas as far as I know, it was just about the color of the regular logo or something. Apparently there is a lot to do about logos in general.
I know that for the VSCodium project, which is that modified version with all telemetry removed, they simply do an election and to logo changes every once in a while.
Close the issue, ban the user from submitting issues. Troll hunting has no bag limit.
I wrote one of the comments on the second troll issue by PurryPlatypus that was deleted, and it wasn't even all that inflammatory or even rude in my opinion. I was literally just talking about how I'm an atheist from a COMPLETELY non-Christian family (mom was raised Jewish but converted to paganism before I was born, and dad was raised Christian, but became an atheist before I was born) that has ALWAYS celebrated Christmas, not as a religious holiday, but as a celebration of the spirit of giving. I also argued that that's how even most American Christians celebrate it as well, and have celebrated it for years. I forget if I also included the fact that Santa Claus isn't a religious figure of any kind, but more of a cultural figure in general, but I do know that I ended the comment with telling them that they're overreacting. Anyway, as an atheist who thinks that religion is a plague upon the human psyche, I am joining the War on Christmas, on the side of Christmas.

Wait … Santa is one of the thing Christians complain the most about since it's basically turning Christmas into a capitalistic holiday, I'm confused now 🤔
This a US thing, in EU no one cares especially christians, mostly because we similar holidays like santa (Saint niklaas in Northern EU for example)
@@Hamtarotaro
The whole Santa thing comes originally from the Nordic countries if I'm not mistaken, so it comes originally from Europe and it's very old, probably from before Christianity came to Europe. So that's why a lot of countries have something similar, like Sinterklaas for example in my country Belgium and in The Netherlands. It's a bit earlier (December 5th), but it's basically very similar to Santa. I really don't see the big fuss about the icons even though I really dislike the Christmas atmosphere, it's such an unimportant thing.
”capitalistic holiday” based
Actually the problem with Santa is that you're literally lying to your kids, that's pretty messed up. And to make it worse, you're being a hypocrite, because you teach (hopefully) your children not to lie.
Also also; it's very damaging to their walk with Christ, to make them believe something they can't see, only to do a rug pull on them when they get older and find out it's fake...
First of all Christmas is not an original christian holiday. It has its origin in the nordic "Julfest" which celebrates the day when the nights become shorter again. Back in the days people hadn't that much to do during winter, they were waiting for spring to happen and afraid of running out of food before that. The church christianised that feast then and millennia's later, Coca Cola made a commercial event :)
"Santa Claus" is of christian origin though, it refers to Nikolaus, Bishop of Myra in the 4th century, who became St. Nikolaus later on to the Church. Historically evident he is known to have donated all his inherited wealth to the poor and he suffered from the prosecution of christianity during his time as a bishop, thus he is a martyr in the sense of the Catholic Church. In Europe, December 6th is his holiday. And as christians, we find the Santa Claus variant funny, but missing all relationship to christianity. In my area, Bavaria, still a roman-catholic dominated area, St. Nikolaus isn't pictured in red, but as a Bishop, wearing a Mitra and a white dress, like bishops do on festivities. The Santa Claus hat and dress is a Coco-Cola invention. Or was it Disney? Whoever, it wasn't the Church.
14:51 Bro, vlc guy ultra chad damn man XD
I worked with a software developer who was a Seventh Day Advantist. He wasn't keen on any religious symbolism. There was a tool in our company that would spew out messages for different holidays. He wasn't keen on them - especially the Christian ones. Just a data point.
I'm a french Atheist. I don't understand. Santa is not christian. Only baby Jesus, his crib and the scene around it are Christian.
Can't trolls find something more nice and fun to do with everyone ? 😒
This is a certified Oy vey moment.
I know these people are being too dumb, but I somewhat understand the feeling. I am from a Muslim background and never lived in a western country, so the symbolism of the hat just doesn't invoke anything for me. It doesn't bother me or anything but it sometimes feels that the holidays of the west are taken to be the Universal holidays.There are some people in the west who are under the impression that everyone is celebrating their holidays. We always have this impression online. This is the effect of many projects being run in places where they celebrate these holidays, so it's understandable. But sometimes it feels strange when too many logos and websites change on you and assume you are by default celebrating. It's not something that warrants these teenage atheist rebellion, it's just a mildly nagging feeling
I totally understand not wanting to celebrate a particular cultures holiday, even if you live in it
Be thankful you're experiencing it externally. It will show up to your door you gotta deal with it. No escape.

I've had something very similar happen a lot. I used to run a community that celebrates Pride Month. Every single year, there was always someone saying we should be celebrating veterans day instead. And each time I would always tell them, our community leaders are free to create material and plans to do so. But interesting enough, once Pride Month was over, they would never mention veterans ever again (interesting). One year I got tired of it and kept up our Pride Month material for another month, that got them real angry
I'd love to see different decorations on VLC or other programs, based on multi-cultural calendars. Just like my paper calendar has little notes in the date about some observance or another; does anyone complain about those?
Different cultures solved the solar/lunar sync problems in different ways, but sometimes the lunar calendar used by Abrahamic religions and Chinese tradition synchronize have a coincidence with the Gregorian calendar as well: One time I went on vacation in Mexico, and had *an entire week* of holidays, including Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, and literal parades in the street for Fat Tuesday and Carnival.
This February, Ash Wednesday and Valentines Day are on the exact same day. It would be cool to see the logos combined, decorating VLC etc.
Meanwhile, the Year of the Dragon starts on the 10th; pretty close.
I thought this was going to be about the recent SSH vuln, and having to work over the holidays to update every SSH server and client...remember Meltdown?
They implemented something in a configuration file, which is fine. However, just because it's FOSS doesn't mean they've to remove something because someone doesn't feel included by it as there's open source Christian software out there. Xiphos, for example. As for the snowflake icon, I suppose it is funny. I would have brought the hat back and said it's a tribute to Nintendo as a hybrid of Mario and Link's hats.

Seems like maybe there's room for a free desktop standard for central configuration of your preferred festive calendar and icons? Super easy in principle to overlay customization onto existing icons or otherwise composite, and also simple to distribute collections of per-app custom icons. Just going to be a matter if anyone cares enough to write code or only enough to bitch at free projects. So much of the mess is how this debate is split across 1000 different repos instead of a project trying to connect folks to their preferred customizations.

I'm pretty sure that a santa hat isn't even a religious symbol, It's an economic one :v
You missed an opportunity to tell people that a huge part of the point of open source software is that users can modify it themselves, that is why I was initially attracted to it.
