Cue tech obsessives trying to defend or deflect from LLMs etc and their problems in 5...

That's fair. Eventually hopefully forgejo will work well enough to provide an alternative for self hosting though.

We really hope that codeberg and forgejo is accepted and used more!

Wow, that's a disgusting take. Not everybody in red states wanted it and not everyone can afford to move to a blue state or they might be penalised for visiting one for health care.

That's a terrible thing to say.

I believe Summer Eternal is a Consumer co-op, isn't it? Or if not looks very like it.

Wow, the award for quickest turnaround for proving the point goes to....

So like, just because you 'studied' linguistics you think that makes you an expert on how language should always be used or that people should not feel a certain way about language just because you say so?

That's not exactly a compelling argument.

Language is always going to carry certain meanings for some folks and we do a disservice to people by ignoring that, we all have our own personal lexicons/semantic meanings to a degree and that will likely never change, we do best by understanding this and working together to understand and accept when certain language can be hurtful and thus find ways of talking that do work for each other.

I feel that's a better way of being than talking down to someone like you just did and telling them that how they feel about it doesn't matter and they should just get with the program, which is never going to work.

Okay, but not everybody is going to be comfortable with it and so are you saying you would not change your speech for them?

Also which country?

It always confuses me when people say 'offend' people, because usually it is not offense they feel etc.

Well, that's not a very fair way of treating/thinking of people, some people are going to be hurt or upset by certain things and it's better to understand that we all have emotions and they are not pointless just because you see no value in them i.e. 'illogical'. It's better to work together and find ways of communicating that aren't genuinely hurtful ioo.

A lot of trans femmes myself included cannot see 'guys' as gender neutral no matter how hard we try and so do not like it.

A trans femme is someone who tries to make themselves look more 'femme' often through taking estrogen etc, it can refer to trans women as well but also refers to those who don't completely identify or at all as a woman, see nonbinary folks for example. It's kind of a catch all term.

Who said anything bout language policing? I was merely saying for myself. I think passing is a pointless binary concept and not even all cis women 'pass'. So I'm not all that interested in passing 100%, just being happy to be me.

Okidoke, hope you have a pleasant life and you never get upset about the way folks talk to you about anything or refer to you.

Correct, the only 'good cop' is either a dead one or one that is no longer a cop is the joke because the institution of cops is rotten to the core as they do not seek to solve society's problems just hurt people either directly or through the legal system.

Glad somebody said it. He either has no idea what is really happening or wants to build a (false) narrative, probably both.

[Sarcasm] Always nice when a cis man tells us trans and other folks what is and isn't transphobia. How else would we know otherwise?!

In what context(s)?

Not surprised honestly, they were always a poorly run organisation that needed to go more worker owned co-op but got run like a tech startup instead.

Destroy the cars. That's what should be done about it.

Disagree that violence doesn't work, especially organised.

Doesn't sound great either. However, fair enough.

Sure, but if they are allowed...

Violence is a tool and like many tools it must be used correctly and at the right times. However, it's also not the only tool in the toolbox in which there are many.

Yes, that is a fair point.

There wasn't anything to do but theme parks really which gets pretty boring pretty quickly.

Ew. No thanks.

We can only hope.

I meant the self driving ones. Apologies for not clarifying.

Will it? All I have seen is that self driving cars will decide to kill people because they cannot make decisions about life in a way that preserves it.

Maybe in like 1000 years plus they might become good enough but by that time the conditions that make cars a necessity would be no more or at least severly reduced.

Kind of good in a way. It was always colonialism for tech companies to be using it anyway, when it wasn't meant for them.

What do they mean 'coming'? The history of transmisia is also a history of racism and misogyny in general.

Ever since colonialism first happened, BIPOC have been opressed in terms of gender roles and presentation, this is nothing new.

Oh no, poor person. How dare they treat them like that sigh.

I definitely went through the last one.

So much abuse, so many pointless rules.

Yet another reason for me to never play this game. It's full of contextless characters, appropriated and stolen dances/animations, microtransactions and now this rubbish.

[Sincere] I feel for the poor developers who are going to be abused by being forced to crunch to heck.

They really are completely devoid of any care, aren't they?

It is a truly disgustingly broken system that would seek to punish people for standing against a genocide.
