12:34 PM
Ah the old "software isn't political" debate
 
Did someone politicize software?
 
@Vogel612 If you want the 7-paragraph essay I wrote explaining why FSSF is supporting the organization they are (BGC) and why that's the right thing, let me know.
 
software is inherently political, whether it wants to be or not
 
Otherwise I'm not going to dig further into it here.
 
@Vogel612 My software tends to solve problems for all parties equally.
 
12:36 PM
That's political 😀 It's egalitarian
Every action people take (or don't take) and system they create is political and only privileged people can pretend like it's not.
 
If I make my UI red, did my software turn Republican?
I think I don't understand the problem.
 
There isn't really a problem in itself
 
@Mast Meh, political "parties" are not the root problem, how certain members of those parties act is.
 
though the horrible mess that is the election process in the US doesn't help
 
It's not "bad" to be any political party, so long as you're not doing it because that party is trying to ensure that certain groups of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation are being put down.
 
12:40 PM
And how is this related to software?
 
The U.S. election process isn't horrible, but the fact that candidates can legally lie (both about intentions and about what should be "fact"), and that candidates can be part of the groups running the election is a serious issue.
 
@Mast I saw someone take down their docs and replace it with names. Maybe that's somewhat similar.
 
@DerKommissar that's kinda what I'd call horrible
 
@Mast 1. Software enables these things; 2. these things directly affect people in the software field.
 
The only politics I know of in software, is the "My language/datatype is better than yours" elitism.
 
12:41 PM
We get to bury Francis this year, I just found out another friend of mine has brain-damage from being shot in the face by a rubber bullet (which is not a rubber bullet, by the way) so I probably get to bury him later this year. He was standing peacefully with a sign and the police shot him...for no reason.
 
@Mast that's just tribalism, which is functionally somewhat similar, but usually not that impactful in the outside world
 
I am beyond done with people who think that "the system is doing it's job" when we can, objectively, prove it's not.
 
@DerKommissar That's terrible.
 
@Mast He was a programmer, too. This, invariably, affects software development.
 
@DerKommissar The system is crap. Not just the US system, the Dutch system doesn't work either. Perhaps better, perhaps worse, but both are crap.
Should we do things different to fix the 'political software' problem?
 
12:46 PM
who's we here?
 
Software people
 
See if this helps.. As this question is closed, could not post answer here. — Naresh Bhople 22 secs ago
 
The first step is probably to acknowledge that software is political. The second step is IMO to understand that to make software that doesn't amplify existing biases one needs to consciously work against these biases.
It helps if your team is more diverse, because that can expose biases "automatically"
 
Hi and welcome to SO, this might be a better suited question for [Code Review]. — Samuel Everson 26 secs ago
 
@Vogel612 Ok, and then?

Do the work of finding and eliminating conscious and unconscious biases
 
We automate cheese lines. What are the risks in our software?
 
You're a lucky man. Your software does mechanical processes
but software makes the world go round
 
Yes, our work replaces human labour. Not all humans are in favour of that, but I'm not sure adding diversity is going to fix that.
 
I now understand why you consider software to not be political. Because the software you create isn't working in a social framework. It's working in a "mechanical" framework
 
But all the user data we have to work with are account credentials, we don't care about the sex/race/maritalstatus of the operators.
Our PLC won't care about the operator, only about their access level.
 
12:59 PM
Since you've got an answer, I'd say the question can stay here alright. You can still consider posting to Code Review for tips on other things (like readability). — Yksisarvinen 21 secs ago
 
@Vogel612 Yes. The mechanical engineers create an environment and we automate it. No socials involved.
 
i am not active at code review, but i heard that they are quite picky about correctness of code posted there, so afaik pointing out mistakes in code isnt what code review is about. I might be wrong though — idclev 463035818 45 secs ago
 
@Mast Not entirely true.
As an example: I can tell you almost none of the machines I worked on at the plastics factory would be usable by someone who is substantially shorter than the average person.
That's political. We often find ways to work around it, but even the ME world is political.
 
1:16 PM
@DerKommissar So our mechanical parts can be political. Ok. How can we fix this from a software/EE standpoint?
 
You fix them from the mechanical standpoint.
Also, colored buttons can be a detriment to color-blind / low-vision folks.
I could go on, I won't, but I could.
 
I think most of that is already fixed by the ergonomy rules we have to comply by, normative rules.
 
The point is: engineering of all types is political, the important thing is to recognize that, admit it, and work to ensure that the system is built fairly for all.
 
But that's CE and Machine Directive, I can imagine that's not all over the world true.

1:18 PM
@DerKommissar Yes, that's why buttons have text plates.
Colours are also mostly governed by directives. We're not allowed to make a stop button green.
Or an emergency stop purple.
Absolutely forbidden.
 
@Mast do you know of any regulatory entity like that for software?
 
@Vogel612 Google and Microsoft have style guides that cover these things in there UX documents.
 
@Vogel612 Some directives apply to the software of machinery as well.
But I don't think there's CE for software yet, no.
 
@Mast We need one.
 
Not really sure how barriers to entry are political. Like not catering to colour blind people is bad, but politics I'm not sure is the right word.
 
1:22 PM
@Peilonrayz they are not regulatory entities. They have no means to compel you to follow their guidelines
 
@Vogel612 Additionally, they're usually the bad actors...
Apple's whole FaceID snafu is a perfect example.
 
@Vogel612 Yeah, the can prevent you from using their assets or discredit you.
