Free software is about granting people rights, and as such it is incompatible with racism. It is incompatible with homophobia. It is incompatible with "gender critical" ideology. Those people all reject the idea that all humans have rights based on who they are are ideologically incompatible with free software and deserve to be sidelined. We can replace anyone's contributions, we can't replace all those they drive away.

Unreal tournament? You mean a misinformation contest, like Twitter?

military, detransition, transmisia
when they talk about "men" using self-ID legislation and similar to avoid conscription and write in contingencies to suspend legal gender changes I need y'all to be aware that they mean us with that. they will have no qualms about conscripting transfems info the military and force-detransitioning them. what do you think has been happening in Ukraine?
oppose imperialism always, but y'all can miss me with uncritical support of nation states and patriarchal institutions.

How do librarians remotely access their computers?
ssh!
I am (still) looking for programming languages that meet the two following requirements:
1. Has a project-local, nested dependency/module mechanism (see https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/miscellaneous-notes/page/transitive-dependencies-and-the-commons for explanation)
2. Does *not* have an import-all feature; ie. a way to import a module that causes all its contents to be injected into scope directly. I want languages that require explicit references of some kind (prefixing things with the module name is good enough).
Where do people get this idea that C and/or C++ represent a theoretical boundary of maximum performance, and nothing can be faster?
Ah yes, rubber "recycling" - shredding tires and stuffing it into the soil as filler: https://hermeq.nl/nl/rubber-mulch.html
Really raises the question of where the boundary between "recycling" and "landfill" even is, doesn't it

is there a tool for #linux that gives me a bunch of drag-and-droppable colourful boxes with editable text content?
i do not care what kind of tool it is meant to be. if it is a task manager or a mind map tool or whatever. i want colorful boxes, i want to put text into them, i want to freely arrange and rearrange them into a linear list, i want to be able to scroll down if the list gets very long, and i want to spend 0 minutes on drawing the boxes myself or resizing them or whatever. please recommend a tool that does that

re: uspol, angry
@joepie91 it's also called "appeasement". You know, something that worked out very well in Europe in the years of 1933 to 1940 /s

What particularly pisses me off is how some people are going "well Zelenskyy should not have pressed the issue of security guarantees, and just accepted the implicit promise".
First of all, an 'implicit promise' is worth fuck all when you are dealing with someone who has no sense of obligation towards promises in the first place, like Trump. If it's not on paper or video, it doesn't exist.
But perhaps more important is the underlying subtext of this criticism. Because that subtext is "well you know Trump is volatile and unreliable, so you shouldn't do anything to provoke him, and instead navigate around it".
That's a very familiar pattern. You know what it's called? "Enabling an abuser" and "victim blaming".

@joepie91 There's genuinely no outcome where Trump hadn't thrown a fit and pulled support
