I'll never understand the American need to polish language in tech.
I wonder if US developers feel so unconfortable with their history of oppression of minorities that they can't focus before anything that remind them about it.
Words have different meanings in different contexts, to a non native English speaker, #Gimp is just a software, not a slur.
A rename would makes tons of documentation and tutorials unfindable online to everybody all over the world... for no concrete benefit.
Do you want to fight abelism?
Donate money to education and schools, volunteer in organizations and so on...

"In the #Fediverse you mostly find people minding their own business, talking with real-world friends, sharing their own contents and occasionally joining interesting conversations with strangers."
Try to ask yourself if such a model could be (re-)applied to scientific research as well.

Now that I have a new public #fediverse home at my own domain name with #snac, I wonder if I should migrate my old public account from @Shamar@qoto.org or I should keep both accounts indipendent.
Suggestions welcome!

@dzwiedziu @pluszysta wspaniałe algorytmy gigantów technologicznych nie tylko odwrócą uwagę od tego jak korpo i CEO unikają podatków, ale jeszcze sprawią, że dodatkowo zarobią na reklamach jakie wyświetlisz w czasie tej jałowej awantury o cycki 🫠 capitalism at its finest

If "generative AI" would be a good tool to simplify the process of interacting with your organization your whole process is deeply fucked.

just as bad, probably worse because of FISA 702 and CLOUD ACT.
Ciao, dove l'hai trovato?
E' il vecchio sito del mio sistema operativo, che ho spostato tempo fa su http://jehanne.h--k.it
Credevo di aver aggiornato tutti i link... quale mi sono perso?

We're starting a sprint to look at all the issues preventing #ReproducibleBuilds in all the apps we ship. Most of the issues are simple fixes in the upstream code, like unsorted outputs or timestamps included in the build.
You can help make the #FreeSoftware #Android ecosystem be more reproducible! See the failures here and help us report them upstream: https://verification.f-droid.org/failed.html

Imperdible - Brillante @pluralistic sobre el asesinato de Thompson
Rich people abusing and killing poor people is totally normalized in public opinion.
You see that happening wherever the US decide to "export" or "support" "democracy".
The #Gaza #genocide is just the more recent and blatant of examples.
At the end of the day there is only one war with many battles: the war of the powerful few rich against the many poor weaks.
And while the poors could easily win, they are fooled to fight among themselves, according to the tried and tested "divide et impera" strategy.
@arialdo
Dehumanizing term... just like "user".
