> developed for millions of dollars by an all-star team of designers and engineers

To be honest, 99% of that money probably goes to the managerial class, and the designers and engineers are burnt out and cynical because they can never do what they really want to do.

Which is why corposlop software is often not even any better, or only barely so. If people who are passionate about design and software were also paid really really well... *insert "society if xyz" meme*

  Free Software and the New Sexism
  
  A lot has been said and written about sexism in the Free Software movement over the years, from creepy behavior towards women attending community meetings, to overly sexualized language among software…

Sometimes I still randomly think back to when I was cancelled out of the #Guix community (for supporting women's rights) and it reinvigorates my insomnia and gives me light panic attacks.

Then for a moment I feel motivated to do something against it. But then I remember the entirety of "FOSS" is now dominated by the same sexist nonsense, which is "Code of Conduct" documents written by men hostile to feminism, all patting each other on the back telling themselves how good and progressive they are for using a CoC that was written by a dude who doesn't believe sexism exists.

It's actually infuriating. Drive out women, drive out people who care about freedom of expression, drive out neurodivergent people who don't want authoritarian control over their choice of words, and then wonder why Free Software is in shambles and corporations gain ever more control.

How exactly is "private" defined?

Filming it and sending it to someone could be considered public, no? She "published" it to someone, technically? IANAL

She probably denied the Holocaust, said that the Nazis were right, and that there should be an ethnic cleansing.

I think that's like the main three categories of illegal speech in Germany.

If that's a real story and not something the redditor made up then I don't know what to say. Seems extremely stupid in every way, LOL.

@kaia The obvious best choice is someone who can be both. :blobcat-comfy:

Like my gf. First she's like "I'm into makeup and fashion and my favourite colour is pink and I love flowers" and five minutes later she's gorging on Jollibee (fastfood) and sends me messages like: "Honey, your cat has such a fat belly... I want roasted cat :blobcat-drool2: "

Love her to bits.

I want to know who first came up with the idea of ditching "master/slave" terminology in IT and which exact shade of mayonnaise their skin colour was.

@tyil @LaserMistress

You probably say this is sexist and racist in the sense that it's "racist against white people" and "sexist against men," right?

I actually think Claire's post is, ironically, based in regular racism (against non white people) and sexism (against women).

Why? Let me explain:

1. The noble savage trope:

The poor innocent oppressed non-white people are elevated to the status of angels and saints, rather than being recognised simply as humans, with similar flaws to all other humans.

Notice that OP is white as snow. A white woman performatively shitting on "white women" and thus implicitly mystifying the non-white as inherently more wise, moral, and so on.

Anyone with a basic understanding of world history would know that no ethnic group is devoid of bigotry, warmongering hateful sentiments, and so on. (Which doesn't justify white people colonizing and oppressing them, obviously.)

2. Hatred of "white women" is just basic misogyny:

Especially when it comes from someone who mystifies non-white people as explained above, this vilification of white women is likely to be based on a subconscious view of white women as "default" women, as opposed to "special" women (of color, queer, trans, and so on).

So, the hatred against "white women" boils down to seeing women as undeserving of empathy by default, despite having suffered gruesome sexism throughout history.

They are only deserving of empathy if they are part of some other oppressed minority. Woman is bad by default (when white), and only deserves respect if she can prove to be a victim of something other than "just" misogyny.

Catharine MacKinnon wrote something about this a long time ago:

https://openyls.law.yale.edu/bitstream/handle/20.500.13051/7152/06_4YaleJL_Feminism13_1991_1992_.pdf

Relevant part starts at around page 18. The most sarcastic bit attached, to give a taste, but it's worth reading more of it.

Oh I just meant copy the data from the last time that particular patient visited, like if their card was read last quarter.

It's probably a legal requirement and different doctors officers are different levels of strict about it.

Could also be that some doctor office software has a "copy card details from last visit" feature that works across quarters "just in case" whereas other software forces you to rescan because "law says so."

In the US, Democrats are slightly more likely to admit a desire to subvert democracy than Republicans.

Most significantly though, both sides perceive the other as being VERY anti-democratic, contrary to fact.

Any attempt to subvert democracy by either side is probably going to be self-justified by claiming that it's to prevent the other side from doing it.

@SuperDicq Gotta be honest: I'll never understand the appeal of Hatsune Miku. :blobcat-joy: Then again, I don't even get the appeal of real celebrities, so...

In a weird way, I guess it's actually the same. If you're a fan of a human celeb, you're actually a fan of their public appearance, which is curated by a PR team. Hatsune Miku is likewise a "public appearance" that's curated by a company. At least there's no pretense of a real person being like that? :blobcat-thinking:

@anemone @scathach @lain It's really unbelievable just how transparent the situation with such men is.

Are you a white, straight, middle-class guy who never faced any kind of oppression? But you still want to join an SJW peer group and be respected therein?

Just slap on some hair dye and pronouns in your bio and call yourself non-binary! That's it; you're now "trans" and thus one of the most oppressed minorities on the planet. Woohoo!

And the funniest shit ever is that the aforementioned SJW peer groups are often actually ruled by these types of guys now, kicking out real feminists, LGBT people who don't agree with them, people of ethnic minorities who don't agree with them, and so on.

@garfieldairlines @SuperDicq

It should be noted that, while rms just wrote some spicy opinions on a blog or mailing list that nobody reads, Drew actually helped categorize a popular public repository of drawings that sexualize children (he tagged erotic lolicon material on danbooru for YEARS, in one instance a hardcore image), and had an image search tool running on another such popular public repository (r/pomf) that seems to have contained a ton of arguably realistic drawings of child rape. (I've only taken a glance at the archive of r/pomf and had to close it again so as not to vomit.)

So what I'm saying is: No, he shouldn't get the same treatment as rms. He should be criticized a hundred times harder.

It's not inconceivable that Drew might have even possessed images over the years whose legality is unclear (or ones that are outright illegal) in many modern jurisdictions because there exist laws against "fictional child pornography." He seems safe in NL though.

  Legal status of fictional pornography depicting minors
  
  Legal frameworks around fictional pornography depicting minors vary depending on country and nature of the material involved. Laws against production, distribution, and consumption of child pornography generally separate images into three categories: real, pseudo, and virtual. Pseudo-photographic child pornography is produced by digitally manipulating non-sexual images of real minors to make pornographic material. Virtual child pornography depicts purely fictional characters (for example, lolicon manga). "Fictional pornography depicting minors," as covered in this article, includes these latter two categories, whose legalities vary by jurisdiction, and often differ with each other and with the legality of real child pornography. Some analysts have argued whether or not cartoon pornography that depicts minors is a victimless crime. Laws have been enacted to criminalize "obscene images of children, no matter how they are made," typically under the belief that such materials may incite real-world instances of child sex abuse. Currently, countries that have made it illegal to possess (as well as create and distribute...

It should be noted that such theories are essentially without proof and have a scientific reliability comparable to astrology. :blobcat-smirk:
