Two party politics

They positioned themselves as the ethical choice, financially supported a bigot, and advertised his distro, then made excuses for it when called out.

Kinda like you’re doing

I’m not going to dance around words because you want to protect the sensibilities of a bigot.

I’m not “meh” about denouncing bigots. If you’ve supported a bigot and you don’t actively and vocally walk it back, that’s not “meh”. That’s a refusal to acknowledge the issue and the harm done in normalising the voices and visibility of bigots

I’m not in the habit of assuming companies that knowingly supported bigots, the benefit of the doubt. If there isn’t a clear, loud and non ambiguous walking back of their clear, loud and unambiguous support, then why would you, I or anyone else assume they have done so?

Same guy, but no, I was referring to Omarchy and DHH himself.

Care to support the transphobes angle with evidence? Or does it work like an honorary title?

Interesting that you chose to be passive aggressive and get your back up at the the idea that he’s transphobic, rather than simply asking for evidence…

In any case, he did an article on his blog celebrating Abigail Shrier and her transphobic Irreversible Damage book. I’m not going to link to his blog, but if you want to find it, it was posted in March 2024

I’d be happy to if I could find any evidence it were true.

They support and fund DHH

Yay, yet another tech company funding racists and transphobes is doing well :/

Transitioning.

Tattoos.

Joining the Fediverse

The difference is, phone companies and card providers between them can more easily lock down and restrict who has access to NFC compatible apps. There are no rogue payment apps popping up to challenge the status quo.

So they see more use in richer countries

CachyOS does the same

I don’t think enough people realize that this is catastrophically bad. It’ll discourage people from becoming open source developers, it’ll discourage people from using Linux, and it’ll discourage legislators from taking the Linux community seriously.

Sure, but personally, I don’t want a linux community that’s driven by corporate needs and governments that have been paid off by them. I don’t view it as a catastrophe, if that’s the version of “the linux community” that we lose.

None of that is to say that harassing devs is correct. It’s not, and never is. Harassing anyone with death threats and dogpiling is not on. But if we take that out of the picture, negative pushback that drives away devs that would otherwise have helped implement universal age gating isn’t something I’m terribly upset over, because I don’t want the version of community they’re taking us towards

Yeah, decentralisation has a lot of downsides. It’s definitely a barrier to entry for new folk. But at the same time, it has the single most important killer feature available, and that is that it’s can’t be controlled by a single profit driven corporation.

We’ve got instance level disabling of downvotes on lemmy and piefed.

Decentralisation.

I will never use any other kind of social media again.

Our setup uses a domain pointed at a dynamic (but stable) IP with a script to update it periodically

Assuming I knew that my behaviour was being modelled and this model would influence the outcome, I’d remove myself from the decision making process and flip a coin.
