Well, you can disable window controls in gnome and KDE afaik if you want. Then you'll only have the various app-specific buttons that are necessary for functionality.

If you're looking for every app to have a vim-like interface or something, well, that seems a bit unrelated to CSDs.

Hmmm, I honestly thought this was going to explore the topic of people that are in the closet about their gender identity. Or maybe, plural people. I find this video more confusing than anything.

I think the way you describe it is perhaps too abstract for me to understand the points you're making.

I find this passage rather distressing however "Pronouns reference the framework you expect someone to use to process your words". I find that language scary sounding. It feels like specifying someone's pronouns is forcing an ideology or status on someone and I just don't think that's true at all.

I also don't think saying gender has "dedicated pronouns" is really accurate. Neopronouns exist and they still confer meaning to the person so I don't think it's a defined set. Different languages also have different pronoun systems which complicate creating a specific set.

I find the third argument kind of odd. I think that displaying pronouns in general has the same effect you're describing without the need for different pronouns in different spaces. The same thing is true for things like a role bot or other tools to allow people to display their pronouns.

Honestly, I don't really understand the hate that client-side decorations get. I find that they're generally pretty useful and good.

I think a lot of it comes from people who want to 'rice' and theme their desktops but I personally think that dream has sailed. The kind of theming people want on Linux systems is simply not possible without massive amounts of work and downgrades to accessibility, security and usability.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but for clarification, the fact they're drawn by the client actually means they can always be the same across different environments. This is in opposition to server-side decorations which are drawn by the desktop environment and should match the environment as a result. That said, server-side decorations are largely much less extensible than client side ones.

Unsurprisingly, coming back on an alt to call moderators incompetent is going to be reason for a ban.

If you want to actually discuss a ban, use [email protected] with your account name.

I think we would probably keep applications to allow people who may not have friends that can invite them here. We may be more strict with the answers though.

I, personally would still like to allowlist places which I think are pretty good. Though, ideally I would like one-way federation so beeple can still explore places which don't necessarily meet the standard we set for allowlist.

This will be your only warning. Do not make bad faith comments like this. It's entirely fine to bring new information and to correct people, it is not okay to insult people like this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Right, I might've been more confused with your previous to last paragraph because using she/her pronoun as 'default' was and is a genuine feminist practice in French where gender neutrality is more difficult.

Anyhow, I would recommend not arguing your points like that - it just kinda smells like bad faith argumentation.

By calling reverse discrimination a far-right trope, I presume you mean complaints about reverse discrimination?

Yes, that would be correct. It's the basis of the Great replacement theory.

...no it wasn't?

Your last two paragraphs, especially the last one, feel eerily close to reverse-ism.

"Reverse-ism" usually refers to "reverse discrimination". It's a big trope in far-right circles and ties directly to the "Great replacement" theory.

It's unclear what your intentions were when you said this but it felt weird.

It's worth understanding that "agenda" has a negative connotation. In this context, it's used as a dogwhistle against women and queer people.

Because they hate/don’t want to learn rust and think Java is a superior language

You know, that's not what I've read. It's worth mentioning that it doesn't just use Java.

 

Previously held positions on the Open Source Initiative board.

 

I've recently been thinking a lot about self-destruction.

I've been thinking about how passion and destruction are interlinked. I've also thought that for creation to exist, destruction must proceed it.

I've had quite the difficulty to try and make sense of these feelings. I thought I'd try to explain and explore this idea with other people.

So here I am - Let's start from the premise above.

 

Only ever had experiences with Reddit, Lemmy and very little bit of Discourse.

 

I don't really want to reveal my identity online and I've been trying to find how I can do that. It seems like Patreon is the only one that acts as a middleman between you and the donator but it only does monthly subscriptions which I don't really want to have..

 

After some discussions in !chat, we came up with the conclusion we should adopt rules surrounding bots.

We'll ban bots which we are aware of that currently don't follow these rules and contact their creators. Please report bots that don't follow these.

 

Kind of a broad question. I wonder why people take notes - Is it for studies or learning? Is it just to remember things? Is it to make your own map of your knowledge? Is it because you just want a place to vent out your feelings into the void?

What do you use to accomplish that? App? Paper? A chat room?
