For sure. That one I can at least… Understand or appreciate that it is related to how hard it is to host potentially illegal content in the jurisdiction the instance is hosted in. But the way the MB/FC situation has been handled is… Embarrassing. Like there’s no way to defend it other than “you yourselves are biased and you want to dictate the kind of bias that is acceptable”
It speaks to a lack of media literacy by the moderation administration of the instance
Swiso is also good. I don’t remember the URL right now
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I can’t find a source link. Is this open source? I was curious about finding information comparing it to darkreader
My god this bot is problematic… Really makes me lose all respect for the .world ecosystem of mods and admins that they’ve heard the feedback and refused to do anything without even considering the possibility of just not having this bot at all. All feedback is replied to with basically “you must implement a bot for us in order for us to take you seriously”
Slant.co used to be similarly useful before its company shut it down to focus on Vetted.ai… Less useful though since almost every outgoing link was an affiliate or ad link. Alternativeto.net has been kinda the best option since the late 00s
That’s why Zelensky must, under no circumstances, go into any kind of specifics with Trump. Just make it about how great and cool it will make Trump look
“You give me big go booms. I go boom the bad guys you hate. Major winning happens. You take all credit. ‘Very smart and brave of Trump to give Ukraine all those go booms.’ Everyone says so”
Look how much they’ve done with so little and imagine what they could accomplish if we stopped giving Israel blank checks and started giving some of that aid to Ukraine
I think they meant “the Taliban doesn’t consider women to be humans”
Its explaining that dehumanization is how this shit happens
Putin really doing a lot to erode any chance Russia ever controls Kursk again
The lesson of the Luddites is to fight the industrialist who wants to take away the pleasures of being human in the name of enriching said industrialist. Time and effort saving mechanisms should benefit the laborer, and no one else. That their movement has been labeled as being resistant to human progress or uninformed of the benefits of industrialization tells on our society’s propaganda mechanisms and our failure to teach our own history
The weaponry was granted to Ukraine under certain conditions. This means Ukraine has to keep track of which weapons are used where. These statements are clarifications to give Ukraine more flexibility in their combat operations
Estimated to be ~200,000 as of a month ago
His best friend Vlady Poots has a lot of influence there
Having read all the context and the “debunking,” no, I don’t think that person is delusional. I think they’re just more sensative to how certain patterns of actions can be hurtful to marginalized groups than awesomekling is, and that awesomekling has showed a consistent pattern of associating with, and empowering, bad folks, and for not taking it seriously when people say “associating with bad folks makes the project less inclusive, and makes people less willing to contribute.” The justification he provides basically boils down to “Well you don’t contribute so I don’t have to listen to” when part of why people aren’t contributing is that they make first contributions and he offhandedly dismisses them. It’s interesting to me that “trans people exist” is a political agenda but “we refuse to acknowlege your pronouns and will change them with moderator powers on our discord” isn’t.
I disagree that people trying to make the language of technology more inclusive are doing nothing but causing trouble. They’re trying to make our communities more open to more contributors, and by slamming the doors in their faces we prevent them from continuing forward. And here’s the thing: I’ve seen this play out before. Really big, really successful, projects see consistent long term contributions and develop and grow over time. Projects that are harmful to marginalized groups get niche appeal but not mass adoption. Also whether or not he supports right-wing politics, I find it hard to take it seriously that someone who’s so “wholesome” is “just” a misogynist or a transphobe. Those are serious allegations, and ones that I haven’t seen well addressed, and ones I don’t care to associate myself with until awesomekling shows up and puts in the work to make it clear marginalized people are welcome working on his codebase. As of right now? It seems he’s perfectly willing to accept money and code from people who show consistent patterns of abuse.
As a left-aligned person, myself, I ALSO think we need to stop excusing hate, but I think that looks somewhat different.
Its like truth social

Funny, that’s what I hate about Nano. The key binds seem completely random to me and the programs solution to this is to display a cheatsheet on the screen
