you dont have to do it alone <3

Reminds me of people who said Amazon deforestation warranted a "military intervention." Hey, be funny if trumpet added another country to his want-to-invade list, wouldn't it? Yet folks still feel bothered when I say people in rich countries don't really care all that much about poorer ones.

Don't know. Article asks for sign-in, but much as I like 404's reporting, I just don't feel like creating one more account right now, so all I got is they're unhappy and talking. Maybe they're talking to people who can do something about it, maybe they'll do more soon—organizing takes time, after all—or maybe they'll do fuck all 'cause that's what we usually do.

Well, yeah, if tech workers unionized, maybe they'd have some leverage. Let's hope they get to that before the next absurd move from big tech? Fingers crossed, 143rd time's the charm.

First theyre going after trans people.

That first appears to be skipping over a whole lot of people who've been getting fucked for a long time.

Sorry, I can't tell if you're serious or not.

It's extremely unlikely that facebook has in place a system that allows any lowly engineer to cause such damage alone. No hard drive hosting unique files no one else has, without backups, without security, and so on.

If you're a billion dollar corp that depends on an important recipe to make your product, you're not leaving the only copy of it on front desk with no oversight.

I don't see how deleting files would work as a form of protest. Would probably get you in trouble, though.

In fairness, do we know for certain what happened in Facebook back then? Maybe some employees did protest, maybe they're the same people protesting now, even. Or they quit. Thing is, LGBT issues make engaging articles. Third world suffering? Eh, it depends.

Yet, I agree with the overall point because this is the crux of the matter: on average, one of these simply matters more—one way or another, see transphobes cheering—for people of this subgroup. This is us.

The usual notes apply: good on them for protesting, big media isn't helping, fully ethical employment is like fully ethical consumption.

It'd be really nice if that were true, but it doesn't match what I've lived so far. Also, people contribute to putting those governments in charge, and I don't think it's power making them racist when we talk.

Sometimes, while seeing discourse about the US, I think our region should try to better align itself with Europe, that stronger connections and cooperation could benefit us both.

Then I see how Europeans get when our name comes up and it's no wonder we're calling China instead. Sure, they don't care about us either, but at least they put on an act and we might get something out of it rather than just racism and neocolonialism.

Really, I'm steadily approaching the point where I wouldn't mind much if you all nuked each other out of existence, much like you wouldn't care if we disappeared either. In the absence of names, no such thing as friends beyond borders.

This a shitpost in a humor community, so I'm probably over thinking it... But from the very first time I saw that text, it felt a bit like a heterosexual man joking that his dick would fix a lesbian. Not a huge fan. This version with an anime background somehow makes it worse.

No, you can still be fugly on the inside. These are separate and the lack of one doesn't imply anything about the other. You might be able to fix one of them, though... ask a plastic surgeon.

I wish there was something between World of Warships and Mr. Here's Literal Hours Worth of Interactive Presentations to Learn my Bespoke Mechanics. I haven't found the time, nor the strength, to have another go at it—I'm not sure if I ever will. Neat concept, though.

That's surprising. But this feels like a nice way to frame it, if so:

... they are no longer identifying as the gender they were assigned at birth. That makes them trans ...

The other commenter mentioned this might be casting too wide a net, and I lean towards the "abolish gender" team, myself, so I'd be curious to hear what others think about it, especially MtF, FtM and similar(?) people.

Sorry for responding to your serious comment with such a dumb thing, but shouldn't it be queerphobic or something else? I thought transphobia pertained to cases involving trans folk.

Could ask a search engine, but sometimes communities like this have a more nuanced answer.

You feel the curling of the monkey's paw; the entire app is now in ~/.local/AppName

Kagi seems like a circus. Search quality? It's interesting. Worth supporting? Up to you, but know that your money will still go to actual search result providers first, and what's left goes to people who care more about shirts than privacy.

going to developing countries where it's easier to earn money and have fun.

Curious, what countries exactly are you thinking of?

Fun requires being alive, requires money, requires work, demands time. Getting fun can get complicated. There isn't a true answer to this conundrum as far as I know—not an inspiring one, at least. Makes me think about what human life is supposed to look like.

If I see a comment with 12 replies, all from the same instance, all just the same emoji over and over, I don't care that it's small, that's spam to me. They have their culture, so let them have fun. But I'm not part of it, so leave me out, it's annoying. I think both of these are fair takes.

Maybe this is part of why I keep bouncing off Mastodon. It feels tight-knit. It's about individuals, about relationships.

I don't fit in such a system. I've nothing to offer in a relationship, I cannot be a "comrade." Still, I want news, media, and easily accessible knowledge being shared.

So, I'm a lurker, a consumer. I tend towards anonymous forums and spaces centered around topics rather than people. Or, I seek celebrities, and sellers, and content creators.

Either sort-of give me something I want, while Mastodon doesn't. Too focused on the people, but without big names to follow.
