Hello world! A long time ago I used to play a game called EVE Online. There are silly little creatures called Fedo there. So when joining the Fediverse, I made a bit of a pun.

Direct message

[edit: on re-reading, the sentence that followed it that said “I think there’s outreach to be done” is clear, even if I think the words could have been ordered better for flow, and connect this more directly and closely to the “unfortunate” comment.]

The charitable interpretation of it is that we need to be intentionally welcome and aware of POC in the community

Yeah, I think as written it implies too much to be interpreted unambiguously. I agree, the charitable interpretation is “we need to do more” but that’s an inference that is drawn from my pre-existing understanding of beehaw’s management and vision, and maybe a sprinkling of trust in their intentions.

Without explicitly stating “unfortunately we failed to reach minority communities,” my feeling is that it leaves a lot of room for accusation of other parties for the “unfortunateness” of the situation or misreading of future intent, and personally I think that just leads to unclear communication.

Yeah, video ads are the popup ads of our days. Just as intrusive. Money corrupts :(

Heartily recommend this Computerphile video with some history and background about Ethernet and a bit about where the name came from!

Yeah, Apple spent a lot of investment getting the thing going, but it is certainly still a modern powerhouse. Even if worldwide iOS has a smaller marketshare than Android, Apple is huge in Japan, the US and UK.

There’s definitely something to be said for classic simplicity!

Haha, I mean I’m using up 8 gigs of ram with 10 chrome tabs open, 16gb is definitely starting to look a little lightweight than I’d like at the moment. I built my PC in 2020 with 16gb and around the end of 2021 I ended upgrading with two more sticks, just to keep things running smoothly!

It makes sense to fix it, I suppose. It wouldn’t really make sense to just downvote it every time it comes up, that wouldn’t be fair.

It’s kind of funny to me, I was part of the French meme-magazine on the old “orange reading site” and german meirl would get referenced occasionally. Now I get to see that magazine (ich_iel) most of the time I log in, even if I don’t fully understand it, and the ones I understand are pretty good.

PS: this really throws a spotlight on how anglocentric /r/all was

I agree, I think it’s good to have a discussion, and polite disagreement is quite acceptable. But like you said, encouraging violence and hatred is not acceptable to me.

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. […] for it may easily turn out that [the intolerant] are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; [the intolerant] may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive […] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to [other crimes] as criminal.
