nintendo bad 😡
- Comment on Framework greatly expand their open source event and Linux distribution sponsorships 2 weeks ago:
DHH is be the chairman of the rails foundation, which hosts rails world
as for framework, they sent him hardware for the development of omarchy, that’s what sparked the controversy (as well as their funding of hyprland). as for their response to the controversy, beyond their original “big tent” post, they locked the thread on their forum where they were called out, they banned the topic from being discussed in other threads, they purged posts about the controversy on their subreddit, they seem to have left mastodon (where a lot of people called them out) to post exclusively on twitter now, their CEO made a post (on twitter) about how he’s a big progressive guy actually, but he refused to denounce white supremacy or DHH. and now they’re giving more money to the guy, and they still fund hyprland.
idk if they’re being naive or complicit, but either way i want nothing to do with them anymore.

and 24000€ more for DHH’s pet projects 🙃
friends don’t let friends buy fashwork computers
- Comment on 6🤷♀️7 2 weeks ago:
its funny to see millennials and older gen z making fun of younger gen z and gen alpha for their brainrot
…as if the nyan cat, rage comics, and vine clips weren’t pretty much the same thing lol
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 2 weeks ago:
i am aware of what creoles and pidgins are, yes. making fun of them is racism.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 2 weeks ago:
i agree, and maybe in a better world it wouldn’t be racist (it would still be glottophobic tho, but to what degree that is considered problematic depends tbf, “haha french sucks” jokes are glottophobia as well and that seems fine by most people)
but we do not live in this better world where racial & colonial power structures are irrelevant, so making fun of Jamaican creole and Pidgin (as another commenter in this thread did…) is still fucking racist
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 2 weeks ago:
are you saying this to bait me or are you so obtuse as to think it’s the translating part i have an issue with, and not the “haha look this language is so silly! 🤣 this is better than therapy! 🤣” part
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 2 weeks ago:
yeah that’s just racism
- Comment on We can play that game too 3 weeks ago:
opinion: individualism is a plague and the generational war is a distraction
- Comment on Oh no! 4 weeks ago:
admittedly “charlie kirk stan” was maybe not the best way to describe it (i got this from other people), he hasn’t posted much about him (other than to mourn his death lol), but
apparently he thinks the software industry has a nazi-hating problem??? lmao
- Comment on Oh no! 4 weeks ago:
as a trans woman i’d rather not promote and fund (indirectly, but still) the people who want people like me dead
i’d rather their white supremacy, misogyny and queerphobia not become the norm in open-source spaces, more than it already is…
- Comment on Oh no! 4 weeks ago:
devs are charlie kirk stans, and consider(ed, they seem to have changed course on this, good) gender neutral pronouns to be “too political”
- Comment on Oh no! 4 weeks ago:
i’ve switched to HeliBoard on my tablet!
i wouldn’t call it a drop-in replacement (i don’t think it has swipe-to-type or voice recognition for example, tho i could be wrong) but for me it works even better
- Comment on Oh no! 4 weeks ago:
there’s another non-fascist browser renderer yknow, with less hype around it but just as promising imo
and also it’s made in rust so you know it’s good - Comment on Oh no! 4 weeks ago:
futo collaborates with and platforms curtis yarvin, a self-described fascist
- Comment on Oh no! 4 weeks ago:
for further context on DHH, CEO and founder of 37signals: he also made omarchy, the infamous dodgy-personal-arch-config-turned-linux-distro, is in large part the reason why framework is in so much hot water right now, and the reason he’s bad (and why we’re mad at framework for collaborating with him) is he’s an open white supremacist
- Comment on Oh no! 4 weeks ago:
if something is sponsored by futo, shopify and 37signals??? run
i trust Ea-nāṣir more than i trust DHH
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
i’ll note that, as the article mentions, even apple and google haven’t removed the game in russia (at least not yet)
are valve complicit, or just cowards?
- Comment on Racism restaurant 5 weeks ago:
yea, i guess someone saying “screws will not replace us” or “13% of the code, 50% of the bugs” (both real things i’ve seen people say) means nothing bad by it. dogwhistle? never heard of that! it’s just wholesome anti AI fun!
i hope i don’t have to explain why saying something like this is bad, right? and that it’s not about AI being a marginalized group, because of fucking course it isn’t, that’s never been the point!
like, when you see shit like “johnny the walrus”, a book written by a far right podcaster about how boys can’t become walruses, no matter how many medical interventions they have being forced on them, and that they’ll all grow out of their “wanting to become a walrus” phase, do you think it’s really about walruses? do you think when people say “this book is transphobic” what they mean is “people wanting to become walruses are a marginalized group comparable to trans people”? cause it’s the same shit here!
- Comment on Racism restaurant 5 weeks ago:
i say clueless because the first group enables the second group, by normalizing the idea that saying fictional slurs is Super Cool And Good And Fun!
- Comment on Racism restaurant 5 weeks ago:
there’s two types of people who use “clanker”: clueless people who hate AI and want to make a Le Epic Star Wars Reference,
and people who think racism is funny and cool but don’t like the (shrinking, but still…) social consequences that come with racism, so they decide to be Ironically Racist™ to AI instead (see also the people saying shit like “wireback”, “screws will not replace us”, “rosa sparks”, fucking “george droyd”, etc)
i don’t think it takes much to figure out which group OOP is a part of
- Comment on True romance, despite everything. 5 weeks ago:
this post is making fun of him for being gay, what else could it be? there’s no other joke here than “haha, what if clinton and trump were the couple in Famous Gay Movie?”
why would you make fun of someone for something, if at some level, you didn’t believe that thing to be something one should be made fun of?
- Comment on 16 minutes of HyTale gameplay 5 weeks ago:
the game was bought by Simon (the guy who owns Hypixel and sold the game in the first place) and it looks like it’s back in development!

i wanted to check downdetector to see what was the issue
downdetector was down because it relies on cloudflare too 🤦♀️
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 1 month ago:
they don’t even run their servers anymore, it’s not like the fan servers are competing with them…
is sony turning into another nintendo/disney? flexing their copyright muscle just because they can?
![Screenshot of a tweet by @awesomekling: In recent years I’ve attended multiple software conference talks that had unrelated extreme political rhetoric in slides, such as “fuck [name]” and “punch [group]”. Whenever this happened, some of the audience would clap and cheer, I’d roll my eyes, and the talk would get back on topic. Fast-forward to today, and look at how many people in our industry are openly celebrating the murder of someone they decided was a “nazi” and “fascist”. Turns out these people were more serious than I thought. As someone who’s repeatedly been called a “nazi” and “fascist” myself for disagreements with far-left ideology, I know how easily those labels get thrown around. And honestly, this is making me seriously reconsider which conferences I attend. There’s a hateful rot within our industry. It shouldn’t be socially acceptable to cheer for murder. We need to do more than roll our eyes.](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/a920f93d-5208-4a05-bec6-333a9338121b.webp){kind=link}
