  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • It's doing alright. The heat is a drain on my spirit but it's cooling down in the next few days.

    I hope to continue working on my big project but the finishing part is a bit demotivating. It's harder to finish something than beginning as they say.

  • I appreciate the offer but the text is all in French so most online friends can't read it which is part of the issue 😓

  • Honestly, I feel pretty discouraged to work on my book about the history of my student union. I fear that it will fall on deaf ears and I feel that no one really cares about it. It's a pretty long project as well.

    Otherwise, I'm glad that my session is over. I'm still looking for a job though.

  • Pocket is Saying Goodbye: What You Need to Know | Pocket Help

    Jump

  • That's pretty unfortunate. I think Pocket was probably one of the best services that Mozilla offered (outside of Pocket). I find it worrisome if Pocket was not a profitable avenue for them.

    I used it for a while as my read-it-later but it ended up being too expensive for the usage I made of it.

    I'm pretty worried about Mozilla as a whole. I feel that none of the projects I remember in the past 15 years have actually worked out. Pocket, CommonVoice, Servo, Mozilla Location Services.. It's a shame, really.

    I hope for them that Relay and VPN still manage to work out though I've never really been interested in either unfortunately.

  • GTK Apps might come to Android

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Why I think people should consider using different pronouns in different spaces

    Jump

  • 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.

  • GTK Apps might come to Android

    Jump

  • 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.

  • GTK Apps might come to Android

    Jump

  • 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.

    Mod banned me because apparently they're incompetent

    Jump

  • 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.

  • SerenityOS and LadyBirds: Because These Things Shouldn't Hide in Closed Git Conversations - ░ Nova Online

    Jump

  • 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.

  • SerenityOS and LadyBirds: Because These Things Shouldn't Hide in Closed Git Conversations - ░ Nova Online

    Jump

  • 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.

    Jump

  • I explicitly chose that term because it’s not considered subjective by anyone, but especially not by the people who think gender-neutrality is somehow NOT political.

    All words are subjective. "Non-technical" is not really the magic word you think it is. Could you clearly define it? I can't personally.

  • Do you think they’d stop being bad people if they couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

    I don't think anyone deserves living in the street. I don't think they will stop being bad people whether or not I support them. It seems you're trying to move the goal post.

    Do you feel better knowing they aren’t getting your money? Even at the cost of them ever doing anything good for anyone?

    I feel better that they aren't getting my money because they cannot be empowered to hurt the people I care about. I think they can do good things without my support. This seems like a weird thing to say.

    Also, this is clearly sealioning. It's really not a good way to make conversation.

  • I mean, to be fair, Skia appears to be good - Firefox and LibreOffice also use it for example. I believe GNOME Web will also use Skia in GNOME 47. It certainly seems that people are moving away from Cairo and into Skia. For what reason? I don't know.
