The Quuuuuill

i don’t think this other commenter was calling you out. i think they were just bringing up a point of discussion that’s relevant to the point you brought up

antisemitism: jews have no place in this society

zionism: jews have no place in this society

hopefully this helps people see the problem with labeling anti-zionism as antisemitism

forking doesn’t really help with the underlying problem that docker is a layer to run on top of Linux’s KVM. at a certain point though, it’s become standard enough though that BSD not having a good way to support docker, or any other CRI containerization service for that matter, is a BSD failure, not a containerization failure

i was in a math class once where a physics major treated a particular variable as one because at csmic scale the value of the variable basically doesn’t matter. the math professor both was and wasn’t amused

there’s also an element of sunk cost fallacy. they don’t want to let themselves be deprogrammed because they’ve invested so much in this. somewhere deep in their souls, a lot of them know they’re in the wrong but they can’t listen to that part of themselves because it’s easier to keep going than to have the humility to say they were wrong.

if you’ve ever lost a friend to an MLM, this is the part where they double down on the MLM when it’s going poorly because their upline convinces them the problem isn’t the business model, but their friends and relations. the result is isolating.

this is the thing to understand about the political doctrine of isolationism, too. it’s not about not interfering in other places (such as say… Iran), it’s about threatening violence against all who would oppose efforts to build coalitions with the people the empire is oppressing. it’s not about letting things play out, it’s about intensifying control

states’ rights to opress people was the full thought

here in the United States it generally means your underpants, but a lot of people in the northern appalachians will call any pants pantaloons

and it’s been consistent with that Ukraine had to deal with a public health crisis related to not having enough therapists to help russian POWs navigate the trauma of receiving therapy and food instead of torture.

ALL cops are bastards. it’s not a uniquely american problem, but rather a problem with the entire model of community safety employed in domination cultures

pride month itself is not a cynical ploy since it’s for us by us. what’s cynical is corporations’ participation in it. but even still, your point still stands. corporations participating in rainbow capitalism this year in particular are taking a risk to convince us to spend with them and are also getting our message in front of people who wouldn’t have otherwise seen it.

third panel dad is the panel. it’s more subtle, but i think it’s more impressive at conveying the tone

if nobody wants them, they’re not worth $800million

out here gunning to be the instance i recommend to noobs

and they’re frequently pro russian even though russia is expressly capitalist-colonial in the form of its fascist regime

they’re also all twisted up in pretzels now because russia and the us are aligned. most are going mask off and revealing they’ve always been pro-russian shills

no. just to inclusive, non-male specific pronouns. and it was the way he handled himself in the conversation.

lemmygrad is run by nutomic and dessalines. you’re right tho that hexbear is just… a bunch of unsocial weirdos who were asked to leave everywhere else because they were unpleasant to interact with

the whole entire conversation about pronouns was exactly a conversation about this. the request to change to more inclusive pronouns was a request that he make the project more inclusive to people like us, the queer community, who have been getting pushed out of open source ever since brandon eich was named ceo of mozilla. andreas kling’s response was that we were being too sensitive and he didn’t want to scare of contributors by getting too political. the problem is that in saying that, he’s saying he finds one set of contributions and politics acceptable, and another set not.

the same goes for his responses to people asking him to leave twitter. he says he would rather stay on twitter because mastodon is too political. and there it is again. twitter, at the time of the conversation, was already becoming a nazi cesspool that people were leaving en masse, but because his tweets got more engagement there than on mastodon, he stuck with twitter.

i’ll gather some links for you after work, but i’m just… a little surprised you were familiar enough with the situation to know it happened and not familiar enough to know the context for why it mattered

the ladybird dev wants to work with people who want me dead. so. yeah, fuck him. mozilla ain’t great, but they’re the least dangerous engine builders right now. servo would be a better engine for us to rally around, but everyone would rather talk about the less mature, more fascist accepting, project.

nazis are bad. that’s the hill i’m willing to die on. this is bigger than a browser engine.

the lead dev is a freeze peach absolutist. he’s said some ignorant shit about trans people and when people said “hey, let’s adjust this language” he was like “let’s not get political”
