I also try to use the feminine as neutral instead of masculine. -Note: I’m Spanish so our language is heavily gendered- Mostly because I think that sounds better than the trend of using a newly introduced neutral gender that sounds terrible because Spanish language never had neutral.

Also if someone gets angry for that I have always the reply “now you know a little on how women fell during all story”

But still, neutral and inclusive language is still too new and far away from normalization to get mad at people on how they use it or not use. And if you are not deadnaming or deadgendering (is that a word?) you are not really hurting anyone.

Jumping to transphobic and misogynistic for not wanting to use inclusive language in some repo documentation is a big jump. He didn’t ever dead named anyone or refuse to use some person preferred pronoums. Its just not wanting to use inclusive language on documentation. Most, if not all, documentation I have ever read in my life don’t use the newest trend of inclusive language.

By they way accusations were written it seemed like devs were actually exposing hate speech or something like that.

Let’s not be like that, ok? At least I choose not be like that. You can destroy people lives with such accusations over basically nothing, be better.

I know that we are near Americans elections as it always makes the whole internet jumping, and throwing knives to find “the enemy”. But it could be as simple as inclusive language might be confusing for non english speakers, or might the trend change over time and it’s just a bother to keep updating with the lastest trend. Do you know how many versions of inclusive language did we have in my language? We started using ell@s, then ellxs, then ellos y ellas, then elles, then ellos, ellas y elles. It’s too volatile and little to be that mad over it. Specially when there’s people out there who truly hate anyone who is not a cis str male and is doing true hate speech over that.

If there’s more evidence of devs being evil, I will aknowledge it. But for such a little inconsequential thing (again it’s not even being against someone chosen pronoums, it’s just general documentation) I refuse to spread hate towards other human being.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t Kagi still uses google/bing results?

We do really need to figure how to make some kind of decentralized search engine.

Such accusations should really be followed by a source.

So?

For many small project is AI/copied images or no images at all.

When you do not have money you are not hiring a 2000€/month artist to do imagery for your website. You go online to copy something or nowadays you can use AI to wrap it up. It’s a tool at people’s disposition like any other.

And before anyone comes talking about copyright laws… shall I present them my 10 TB hard drive of pirated media? Human culture is to be shared, not gatekeeped.

I do break copyright law every single day of my life. And so far the only harm I’ve done is avoiding Disney a free pass to kill my wife.

Copyright law is bad. Sharing is caring.

Also I’ve make AI images with Stable Diffusion self hosted on my N100 server that takes way less energy than a normal computer being turned on for hours using Photoshop, so I saved the world by doing AI images instead of manually painting them.

As with everything the problem is not AI technology the problem is capitalism.

End capitalism and suddenly being able to share and openly use everyone’s work for free becomes a beautiful thing.

Yes. The act of voting a comment up or down shouldn’t be much different to hitting reply to that comment.

Upvote/downvote systems do exist to overcome those “+1” “-1” posts on old forums. You are not voting for the legislative elections. You are just interacting with another person comment/post in a way that does not require writing. If post comments, are not anonymous, upvotes/downvotes shouldn’t be anonymous as well.

All my homies search for apps first in F-Droid and only use google play if there is no other option.

I’d love to keep doing so, but never found a quiet place to do so on a regular basis. My new house is too noisy at all times.

And I cannot meditate with neighbors noise.

When I used to do I did before sleeping and greatly improved sleep quality for me.

Probably by people conquered by him. People riding by his side probably would have a different view of him.

A good though to have in ones mind when thinking about this topics is that you will probably be seen as someone horrible and barbaric with evil-morals by future standards.

Debian has been rock solid for me.

It’s not insecure. Quite the contrary debian repositories only include packages that has been through extensive testing and had been found secure and stable. And of course it regularly introduce security updates.

Half, if not more, of the apps on my Android phone come from F-Droid.

My take is this.

I will guarantee universal basic job & income for everyone.

Once that’s guarantee I’ll see if anyone is willingly becoming a sex worker.

Without performing that “experiment” I cannot really respond.

Well, that’s bad then.

Where I live its true that that part of the tax refund is already filled by our IRS equivalent. We have to fill the income that they don’t know about, and our deductions, which can be quite complex.

That’s not entirely true.

Not an US citizen. And in my country tax returns are certainly easier than the US. And our country also have a system in which people below certain money can just go to the tax agency and a government employee will do your tax return for you. But it cannot be fully automated, as the government doesn’t actually know 100% what do you own.

When they send you letters after asking for things is for you to give them paper documentation on why you deducted some things, or because they are inspecting some things a your deduction raised a flag. But it’s not like they just know precisely how much everyone should pay. If it were that easy tax returns would not be a thing as it is in most of the world.

Google needs to be ended.

I find myself watching less and less youtube. Till is no longer part of my daily routine.

I backed up a few videos that I loved using tubearchivists and move on to other platforms.

I’m into small web and the fediverse now.
