I'm glad trans people and non binary people feel comfortable in Linux spaces. Everyone should feel accepted in what is ultimately about computer software. At the same time, I find it a little confusing just how much content seems to find 1:1 equivalence between trans/enby movements and using not-windows.

I really want trans people to feel comfortable here, but I also feel like the frequent repetition of content like this post sort of commoditizes transness. Am I not a valid trans person if I prefer Macs? Am I not a valid Linux user if I'm happy with my AGAB? Again, really happy trans/enby people are happy here, but when we start saying group 1 equals by definition group 2, people from both groups get left out.

Nobody else knows or cares how Cyrillic is pronounced versus the language the rest of everything written is. You're just confusing people, especially if you don't care about proper grammar to match your capricious language hopping.

If some Americans I disagree with want fewer immigrants coming here, then a more stable Mexico would encourage Mexicans and other Spanish speaking immigrants to stay in Mexico. Mexicans wouldn't immigrate to the USA, and Guatemalans and so on would stop at stable and prosperous Mexico rather than making the further journey to the culturally estranged USA. Instead of building the wall, we'd make Mexico a net.

Natively run Windows software. Do I win?

It's ancient, unsupported, and closed source. Nobody can create or distribute security updates. People would have been happy to keep using horses and buggies if there'd been an automatic horse shit shoveller.

What short sighted idiots. Chopping down a tree to steal the fruit? Our species is its own Great Filter.

I feel as though in the US these are seen as the same sort of behavior, though perhaps to different degrees. The dog may be whining to go out, and the teenager is whining about having to take out the dog. Very interesting, the differences that have cropped up in such a short time between our dialects. Have a nice day!

Well good. Those companies deserve to fail if their business model can't support itself without abusing people.

Yes, being comoditized by a corporation. True socialism comrade. Truly we've seized the means of production.

Those rich bastards may have raised 60k, but the city still is fighting and the proles have raised 30k to counter the anti-shelter fundraiser, according to the article. It's not over yet and the city may still get the desperately needed shelter.

It's like if Bill Nye was your nerdy buddy instead of your cool professor. I've never met the dude but he's on my list of people who don't know they're my friend.
