@dwarf@borg.social Yes, you would be a tourist

@LaserMistress@mstdn.social All this time I was told we need less sexism and racism, but it turns out the real solution is to have more you say?

@taylan@fedi.feministwiki.org @LaserMistress@mstdn.social I actually think Claire's post is, ironically, based in regular racism (against non white people) and sexism (against women).I think there is only "regular" racism and sexism. I don't care who you're being racist or sexist against, or what you are yourself. Racism is racism, regardless of who propagates it and whom the target is. Same goes for sexism.

@dwarf@borg.social Especially if they're dead

@dwarf@borg.social You don't have to let them go after 2 years, you can keep holding on to them forever!

@dwarf@borg.social I think software does that because Windows doesn't have a reliable package manager. On GNU+Linux, every distro (afaik) has a good, reliable package manager for pretty much everything, so software doesn't need to update itself and ruin your day.

Ah yes, the "I disagree" functionality of #Mastodon. Sometimes I forget people this dumb are allowed to go onto the Internet.

@mr_penguin@social.freetalklive.com Damn, your server is ridiculously slow, and they don't seem to publish which instances they are blocking, which is quite a big red flag.

If you want to meet "human beings" on Fedi, I'd recommend using something else than Mastodon, preferably self-hosted, and not defederate from entire servers over differing opinions with singular users. If you take those steps, you'll get a lot more human interaction, but you will have to accept hearing opinions you might disagree with.

@notanamber@anticapitalista.it @carmenbianca@todon.eu "ethical source" is just a politically correct term for "proprietary software".

@carmenbianca@todon.eu There are so many people (men…)Correct me if I'm wrong but are you complaining about a guy being sexist, while being sexist yourself?

Since you are an FSFE board member, can we infer that the FSFE's official position is that it hates the existence of a group of people based on their sex?

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social Microsoft is correct that their userbase will stick to using Windows anyway. No matter how hard they abuse their users, they will continue to defend Microsoft and use their products regardless.

@Hyolobrika@social.fbxl.net It seems to perform worse than #ZFS for me, storing large volumes of data and for databases (PostgreSQL). However, for a very large number of smaller files (tens of thousands, under 4KiB) it seemed to perform slightly better and took slightly less space on-disk to store it.

In practice, it works "okay" enough to use for various setups, but I wouldn't trust it for serious large-volume storage unless you have very rigorous backups. I've seen it fuck up too often to trust that well. Be sure to avoid #BTRFS' raid 5/6 at all costs, I haven't heard much problems about their other raid options.

I genuinely don't understand how corporate marketing teams have convinced the majority of people that making copies of bits of data is "theft". Does this show the power of corporate marketing, or the stupidity of the average person?

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com So you agree it costs time and effort, as blocking proprietary Javascript is not the default.

@drewdevault@fosstodon.org @goku12@fosstodon.org @cafkafk@catgirl.farm @llwyn@hachyderm.io You are responsible for how other people interpret your speechThat's very dangerous territory. Interpretations vary wildly by tone, context, culture, and probably many other factors I cannot comprehend in my small mind. It is impossible to take all of this in consideration.

Intent is what matters a lot more to me (and most legal systems), and from the apology I can read, there was no harmful intent from Stallman's side.

@drewdevault@fosstodon.org @goku12@fosstodon.org @cafkafk@catgirl.farm I'm not prepared to take him at his word regarding his intentionBut you are prepared to take the other side at their word. Don't you think this discrepancy is unfair?

@drewdevault@fosstodon.org @goku12@fosstodon.org @cafkafk@catgirl.farm (1) no, he didn't, he confirmed they were together and that he "expressed despair". He does not confirm he told a woman that she must date him under the threat of suicide.

(2) As stated elsewhere, the existence of accusations does not imply guilt in my mind.

@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social @vascorsd@mastodon.social everyone and their sister keeps blocking all advertising.Looking at my actual sisters (and the rest of my family), ad blocking isn't all that universal. I wish it was more common, but in the vast majority of cases among "normal" people, they just accept the ads. Its part of the experience of being online to be blasted by ads constantly now. Only a small portion of tech-minded people actually put in the time and effort to block as many ads as they possibly can.

@drewdevault@fosstodon.org @goku12@fosstodon.org @cafkafk@catgirl.farm He acknowledges that she might have interpreted it that way, which seems reasonable. It acknowledges that multiple people can interpret a situation or expression in different ways. He says he would not have interpreted it that way himself.

I am unsure why he should be responsible for other people interpreting him in a way he did not intend.

@drewdevault@fosstodon.org @goku12@fosstodon.org @cafkafk@catgirl.farm

I'm not sure how this is an acknowledgement that Stallman has tried to get people to be with him under the threat of suicide. Stallman explains that he never intended this, but if it came across this way he does feel sorry about that. Sounds like someone took one of his remarks wrong, and decided to make a big deal out of it when it became hip to shit on Stallman.

Is trying to be a good person and apologize _even when you didn't do anything wrong_ somehow an acknowledgement of being wrong? This kind of reasoning makes no sense to me. If this is what you're arguing, you're arguing to never ever try to be a better person, because the hate mob will use this as "evidence" of wrongdoing.
