FWIW in USA a lot of tech writers are women and/or BIPOC. so there’s the usual social stupidity nobody WBIPOC signed up for being born.
but that also impacts availability. the fact is, WBIPOC earn pennies on the dollar compared to white men, ESPECIALLY in tech. if you have to work several jobs to make ends meet, unpaid FLOSS labor ―with the added bonus of harassment― isn't a priority, innit?
it was pushback in the form of case law. you may be too young to remember the brief moment techbros went from peddling microcomputers to their disappearance, then “smart phones”. 2 things happened: the end of TAP and passing of DMCA
“smart phone” is marketing used to circumvent case laws & regulations that gave us root access to our computers.
call smart phones microcomputers, and y’all see the techbros screeching why they CAN'T be, not why they aren't.
