Logseq has genuinely made me a less stupid person. It’s confusing to learn, but the ceiling for articulating and organising your thoughts and knowledge base is insanely high. Other apps kind of feel like I’m fighting the limitations of my tools in order to organise a mental library of where to find information.

I read the headline and my immediate thought was “is this controlled for socioeconomic class?”

I guess I’m reading the paper

Yeah uh no, I didn’t argue one way or the other about a boycott. That was your assumption and you’re trying to get me to fight it. If I cared to tell people what to think about a heated topic on the internet and then defend my position it from a bunch of mouthbreathers, I would go back to Reddit.

Your comment is a de facto strawman.

What exactly are you arguing against, here? I don’t waste time on people who try to strawman me.

J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric and activism has enough influence to lead directly or otherwise to the further persecution and discrimination against an already marginalised minority group.

She at some point opted for or was identified by those with similar views as the term TERF, a ‘trans-exclusionary radical feminist’ (the acronym is arguably problematic). The queer community and queer allies use the term with a implied derogatory connotation. A number of TERFs who picked up on this connotation now believe that it is an insult, and do not wish to be labelled as such (despite TERFs coining the term themseIves).

This is a whataboutist counterpoint at best. Universities and their researchers are not a monolith.

I suppose I’ll be watching two pile of snakes pretending to be people for the duration of which this plays out.

In my case I was ecosystem’d into RPM and Flatpak, so openSUSE makes me happy

Then just write proprietary code. Open source philosophy to me seems about creation for a “greater good”. What’s the point if you’re not even going to be open? The organisation just becomes a massive corporation like any other at that point.

That depends on whether the communication channel is encrypted.

Fedora, I’m not a tech person by Linux user standards and I just need an OS that works
