@aescling you say it is a joke but i have seen you legitimately get excited over my web designs so

time to close GitLab on my work laptop and open GitLab on my personal laptop

@aescling i mean it's better than what it was recommending me before so i'm not really complaining

lol i contribute to ONE repository and suddenly GitHub is recommending me things like “Science History Institute Digital Collections”

@monorail i don't think people have negative intent but i think a lot of people have neutral intent and a lot of negative systems are enabled by it

simply not being bad is only good enough in a world which is good by default, which isn't our world

@noelle they probably did it as a joke and extremely regret that decision now

@KitRedgrave @witchfynder_finder something something “the goal, however, is to change it”

@Satsuma my personal stance is that we should just eliminate pronouns

@Satsuma (this is not a genuine proposal, more just me pointing out that this is how Proto-Indo-European happened)

@Satsuma yes, probably this would require reducing the number to maybe three or four

what if we just encoded gender as a grammatical property of nouns so we wouldn't have to keep giving our pronouns all the time

@witchfynder_finder only the bones. have you ever tried christmas shopping without a skeleton? i don't recommend it

relatedly, this is why skeletons are an important part of the christmas season

@witchfynder_finder to impose it on others would not be the anarchist way

@witchfynder_finder regular anarchists are too busy discussing praxis in their 6 hour meetings to have time for discussing praxis on line

i will qualify this by saying that in college i did know people, and was for a time a person, who couldn't run the latest apps because they had an iPhone 3GS (which couldn’t run iOS 7), and i would also like to say that this situation lost Apple large amounts of dollars in potential app sales and i don't think they are keen on replicating it

@Satsuma i think that was a bigger deal in the past but now it's like… a 2019 iPhone has everything you could really want in a phone lbr. they're adding slightly better cameras and better VR capabilities but unless you care about that phones have mostly peaked.

so i think they're transitioning into more of a long-term approach to them like they take with their laptops. they make most of their money off of apps anyway; it's to their benefit if people with old phones can still buy new apps
