The Quuuuuill

we had a conversation about ritual suicide at work the other day and my coworker i’m the closest with was like “if that’s what we’re doing, i guess that’s what we’re doing”

it used to be in the intro. it was in the intro i got

looks like the current iteration is Polish descent, living in Toronto

she was before i blocked her lol. maybe she’s not anymore?

there’s spam bots trying to get people to be like “oh a sexy jewish nerd from poland is into me? lemme yeah send her some money”

the whole entire conversation about pronouns was exactly a conversation about this. the request to change to more inclusive pronouns was a request that he make the project more inclusive to people like us, the queer community, who have been getting pushed out of open source ever since brandon eich was named ceo of mozilla. andreas kling’s response was that we were being too sensitive and he didn’t want to scare of contributors by getting too political. the problem is that in saying that, he’s saying he finds one set of contributions and politics acceptable, and another set not.

the same goes for his responses to people asking him to leave twitter. he says he would rather stay on twitter because mastodon is too political. and there it is again. twitter, at the time of the conversation, was already becoming a nazi cesspool that people were leaving en masse, but because his tweets got more engagement there than on mastodon, he stuck with twitter.

i’ll gather some links for you after work, but i’m just… a little surprised you were familiar enough with the situation to know it happened and not familiar enough to know the context for why it mattered

i think he’s referring to mozilla accepting money from google to let google be the default search engine for over 20 years, which 5 years into that deal, google started using any search made through not chrome to pipeline people to chrome

the ladybird dev wants to work with people who want me dead. so. yeah, fuck him. mozilla ain’t great, but they’re the least dangerous engine builders right now. servo would be a better engine for us to rally around, but everyone would rather talk about the less mature, more fascist accepting, project.

nazis are bad. that’s the hill i’m willing to die on. this is bigger than a browser engine.

the lead dev is a freeze peach absolutist. he’s said some ignorant shit about trans people and when people said “hey, let’s adjust this language” he was like “let’s not get political”

100%, this is either uninformed or some apologia

FWIW the United States are not bound by Protocol I or II of the Geneva conventions, meaning we’re also not protected by them.

Are you… Not paying attention to who’s threatening to invade the rest of Europe?

“Well we gotta nuke somebody”

I started listing them but eventually gave up because it was hard to properly distinguish the wars that started by invaded Poland and the wars that resulted in invading Poland. The problem is that throughout European history, Russia has wanted to invade other parts of Europe, or other parts of Europe have wanted to invade Russia, and Poland’s just kind of there. See also: Ukraine (the western half of which was once Poland, much as the southern portion of Poland was once Ukraine)

them and the low countries

chip’s challenge is iconic

right? and what in the fuck is purble place?

welp. we’ve gotten to the point of fascism where we’re writing gay fan fic about killing nazis with our wifu guns. gotta say. kinda proud to see it

the key to being a good machine gun is that you be cheap and lots of bullets come out of the end. this absolutely does that even if time has marched on
