In the past 48 hours I've seen "If you use a tiling window manager you're probably a racist toxic fossbro", "if you support FOSS you're likely a liberal or a toxic fossbro", "If you use emacs you're part of the problem" and uh...

Can we just stop putting people in bins based on what tools they use and, more likely, what they had available to them when they first learned how to interact with tech?

Y'all stressing me out because I've seen these funny little takes go viral and become zeitgeist material.

@aral
Can you explain what you mean by "everyone's point"?

At least for me, I'm railing against the mob justice/cancel culture.
And that their primary reference is a hit piece full of 'inaccuracies' (to put it mildly).
That does not mean I'm defending the FSF.

The "Communal Technology Movement" thread looks interesting, but have to read up on that.
I'm also perfectly fine with KDE e.V.'s response, where they (primarily) rightfully criticize FSF's process.

one thing i really regret is not paying more attention in french in school. learning languages is really more important than most other things, just english doesn't really cut it.

@r000t
...and they think they're the good guys :blobcatgrimacing:

how come its always cancel this and fire that and nobody ever goes

:blobcatidea: we should send that guy to therapy

news from the banking security LARPing front:

i have received my "photo tan" generator. activation only required scanning three codes and typing in two long numeric codes myself (without spaces, the backend can't strip spaces from numbers..).

activation was completed successfully.

time to log in.

"please activate your photo tan gadget!11"

fml.

@bonifartius @freemo @lupyuen yes, the people doing this are becoming exactly what the RMS support letter was against - campaigns of harassment against innocents.
Mobs are fundamentally social. There's nothing more social than a mob. They're almost synonymous.

Hence, "social justice."

is there a european free software group i can join/donate too? fsfe is officially doing double standards and backstabbing, so they aren't an option anymore.

@bonifartius I saw a man make a woman happy once, so I know for a fact anything is possible.
