L'écriture inclutive, quelle plaie...

I genuinely don't know left pad.

WordPress, yeah, good point.

Governance matters.

Some open source projects are very much about the users. Inkscape, Krita, kdenlive, many others.

Mastodon, I think, is a bit of a social experiment based in part on false beliefs (quote posts..., CWs)

It's not meant to be a platform from which you can do business, or some activism types.

Not yet.

It will happen, it will be slow, but open source projects are forever.

I'm oooold. I still remember *that* Chick tract...

(Still makes me laugh)

@cstross
Seriously? Again? Can't they at least wait a generation?

@mekkaokereke
People know how they'll vote. Their decision was still wrong in terms of achieving the outcome they claimed to want.

What idiot can think Trump, a huge Netanyahu fan, recogniser of Jerusalem as capital of Israel, will be "better" for Palestinians? Sorry, but that's fox news levels of being wrong.

I'm reminded of a fellow, upon learning his superior was going to be a woman "I can't be commanded by a bird!". It wasn't said nastily, just in shock and disbelief.

Like this went against the rules of the world.

Also people resenting hugely their superiors being younger than themselves. I've seen that so many times.

Like this was a personal affront.

This is the world we live in. This is the change that will happen, in time.

The first time, yes. The second time perhaps, the third time no. Which is the normal way immunity develops in relatively healthy humans.

Damage implies something cumulative, which it isn't, unless you're immunodepressed (in which case, yes, this is Bad™).

If every time you get COVID it's as bad as the first time, you're in an at risk group. I don't have advice, but be careful.

@cstross
It doesn't cause low level brain damage on each reinfection.

Only acute (think hospital) has sometimes neurological consequences. It's also unclear how long these (can) last.

But if you get common cold symptoms, you're fine :)

@hist_myth
Le cœur du problème, c'est que les petites villes et les villages ne sont pas viables au XXIs. Et du coup ils se vident, leurs habitants deviennent isolés, hargneux et haineux.

Et on ne peut pas les aider: économiquement, socialement et écologiquement, c'est *bien* que les villages meurent.

C'est une phase. Il y en a pour 20 ans.

(Mais on est d'accord, voter contre un gros con ou en être un, la différence est ténue)

People are graded on a curve.

It doesn't matter what the average is.

Ce serait illégitime. Les urnes ne peuvent pas décider de priver des gens de droits.

Voter sur de telles questions est illégitime, et souvent illégal. Le seul point de ce programme qui pourrait être legal (pas sûr, dépend des détails) c'est les aides sociales.

C'est exactement sur cette confusion que les fascistes jouent. "Le vote légitime tout" oui oui, et Napoléon III était un démocrate.

@aeris
Euuuh, tu réalises que ces choses sont spécifiquement pas possible en vertu dédits droits fondamentaux?

Exemple anglais: les débiles en charge veulent déporter des demandeurs d'asile au Rwanda. La cours suprème les a envoyé chier. Et elle a bien indiqué (quoiqu'ils vont essayer) qu'il n'y a aucune loi qu'ils pourraient passer pour que ça devient légal.

Meta comment...

Are people aware that #bluesky will never federate, and that as a walled garden will inevitable enshitify?

It's like the whole fascism thing. Don't people ever heed lessons?

In town, though, District heating using heat from incinerators is typically even better than heat pumps.

In principle, there should not be a button. It should happen in the background.

And posts that were slow to come can appear slightly out of order so I see them when I scroll.
