@TrechNex@mstdn.social @aral LibreWolf seems heavily dependent on upstream Firefox to me. Forking the source code is easy; the hard part is setting up a sustainable organization which can *independently* maintain an entirely separate browser codebase going forward, without relying on Mozilla.

Corporate Pride
The thing about rainbow corporate logos during pride month isn't that I have strong feelings against seeing rainbows in June unless flown by the proletariat.
OK, I mean, its not just that.
Its that these companies spend 12 months a year underpaying their low level staff, in which includes LGBT workers. They lobby against minimum wage increases by giving money to right wing politicians who want to destroy us. That's nearly all of them.

@jaycie Because every chat app is (quite literally) someone's promotion prestige project, not an actual thing they intend to support and make work well
@f0x I tried installing some mod called "Ritalin" but it doesn't seem to work half the time

transphobia
just got a YT ad from the daily wire about "in California girls who identify as boys can have a double mastectomy at as young as 13 years old." something something "madness" something something "documentary", while they're mix-and-matching heads and bodies and legs with ominous children singing in the background. how much money does Google make from that shit having been shown to me? from having been shown to trans people? but happy pride month I guess

my therapist: and what do we do when we feel like this?
me: identify the oppressive social systems responsible and dismantle the fuck out of them
my therapist: oh yeah that's way better than what i was gonna say

#TIL In 2019, NASA realized all the high-performance ferrite cores, used in the best fluxgate magnetometers by both US and European space missions worldwide, came from a single source. And nobody knows how to make them anymore. The process was developed in the 1960s by now-nonexistent military projects and defense contractors. https://science.nasa.gov/technology/technology-highlights/rediscovering-the-lost-art-of-fluxgate-magnetometer-cores #electronics

@ben I mean, not quite 'homogeneous', but it does make sense to use an umbrella term like 'neurodiverse', considering how the 'classical' ADHD/autism/etc. labels are clearly insufficient and it's all a hot mess with vague lines between what goes together
@ben That's just OpenCollective, isn't it

Instead of rainbow capitalism I would like the month of June used to force rich people to pay for transition surgeries
@cassolotl AIUI this works basically the same as with any other 'permissive' license (noting that 'public domain dedication' doesn't exist in many countries to begin with); you can license the combined work with your own input however you want, but that doesn't take away anyone's right to use the original work under the original license, nor your obligation to comply with that license in terms of eg. attribution (which is not applicable in the case of PD or PD-like licensing specifically).
TL;DR: Yes you can, but anyone can still use the original work as PD instead of your license, you are effectively just licensing your own contribution

Queer pride, shame and mental health
This one is particularly important for me.
I struggle with my orientation. I'm genuinely ashamed of it, and I constantly feel like a square peg trying to fit in to a round hole when my peers in my community are invariably sapphic.
So pride month hits me hard, because suddenly my community starts taking pride in not being like me. And even though I know every queer person complaining or joking about "the straights" doesn't mean me, I still see that messaging. I still internalise it. I'm still ashamed of something I didn't choose and can't change. The messaging from my own community implying that I'm not a member of that community is like a slap every time I see it.
I know we don't really have commonly accepted alternative language, but fuck I wish we did. I want to be able to carry the same pride the rest of the community does, instead of feeling ashamed and different
