civil rights and racism isn’t “politics”

The fact that you have to stick your passport in the post to get a driving license in the uk is _wild_ 😅 I don’t wanna part with my passport, what if I run into Priti? 😱

As a gay woman, you tell me I can't have a 'political or societal conversation' and that sounds a lot like I can't talk about my wife at work. Bc being in a gay marriage is a f'ing political statement to people. Im angry.

Companies are part of the solution or part of the problem. If you "ban societal and political discussions" you're abdicating your responsibility towards your marginalised employees who don't have the privilege of ignoring these problems. @dhh @jasonfried - very disappointing.

"No more societal and political discussions at Basecamp." Tech is political, business is political, people are political. By aspiring to neutrality you'll inevitably allow systemic power to materialise unchecked. So disappointed in Basecamp today. twitter.com/venikunche/sta…

So... I'm wondering what's changed in the last, say, almost 16 months? Because this goes against your BS company statement now... world.hey.com/jason/changes-…

Look I think Caitlyn Jenner is a rightwing ball of slime but I'm still going to gender her correctly. Doing anything else makes it clear you see recognising trans people's genders as conditional privileges for good behaviour that you can revoke any time, and trans ppl notice that

CW Just so I have it right; yesterday Portland police shot an unarmed man in the back as he walked away, then fired impact munitions at his dead body, then had a pizza party in front of dead body while they maced community members that were rightfully upset about it.

does anyone have any good resources for a first time VIM user? i am finally putting emacs to rest given the state of the software foundation formally known as the FSF yes. i am converting to vim to stand up against this.

kris nóva (@krisnova)Thu, 15 Apr 2021 01:08 +0000

I'm really grateful that the FSF board took the time to clarify this. This makes it crystal clear that they's rather have RMS around than become an inclusive and welcoming environment to more than half the people who write software. Toxic to the core.

Can we all agree the FSF is just a cult now? Glad to hear RMS regrets that everyone was mad at him. Must've been how articulate he was. 🙄 Worth noting: if you license your code as GPL X.Y *or later*, then THIS is the org you're trusting to write future licenses. Much doubt. https://t.co/GPUi8TKnug

How much code wasn’t written, how many contributions not made, how many ideas never expressed, because people refused to participate in FOSS because of people like RMS and his supporters? The community is already divided. Removing RMS and his ilk is how we start to heal it

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, Linux. GNU is not an operating system unto itself, but rather a few POSIX-compatible utilities promoted by an organization led by an abuser.

Funny how people act like it's so shocking and awful when poor people in faraway countries turn to terrorism just because an occupying army destroyed their homes and killed their family, but when they watch Star Wars they still recognize that Luke Skywalker is the good guy
