“It doesn’t affect me, so if it affects you, fuck you, I don’t give a fuck.”

A PR fixing all those issues was merged.

They used “they” when referring to a person, and “it” when referring to a process (the author used “he” when referring to a process calling another process, when he should have used “it.”)

Now we’re judging articles for quantity instead of quality?

Who uses “lame” in 2024? It was so pervasive during the Digg times.

I’ve seen some inclusive tech docs in which they (ha!) use “she” instead of “he” or “they.” I thought that was cool.

Are people writing “she” instead of “they” misogynistic and transphobic too?

People don’t need to build model trains either.

The project started as a hobby. People can do what they want with their free time.

I hate that word so much. The_Donald scarred me.

Average Linux user > average windows user.

Plus Linux doesn’t track you (depending on distro, I suppose.)

But I kid. People should use whatever the fuck they want.

I mean. 95% of people uses, likes and tolerates shit I don’t tolerate. I don’t use said shit. My life has been shockingly fine that way.

Weird that they used quora of all places this news was reported.

A site that does this is a site I’ll never visit.

I like operating systems as boring as possible. Let it manage the underlying system while I focus on work. I think you just convinced me to try Arch now.

Thanks for the insight.

You’re comparing board game companies with a laptop manufacturing company, right?

A company manufacturing a laptop like the Framework laptop is not just sourcing parts and assembling them together. There’s a LOT of work put in it, way more than some board game.

Their laptop costs in the thousands, and given their (so far) niche market, I can see why it isn’t feasible for them to give away these expensive to manufacture machines to community ambassadors.

And how much do these products you’re an ambassador of cost?

And are these new start-ups, or mega-companies?

Oh.

I guess both actions have ups and downs.

To me, calling it Twitter reminds me of the shitty shit Twitter has ever been. I never liked the thing. I vividly remember when BBC started quoting random tweets - it made me a little sick. Then all news outlets followed suit.

And if Elon hates it that people call it Twitter, then even better!

I’m not talking about elections.

Alternative pronunciation: Shittier.

But that’s what Elon wants, and fuck that guy.

Twitter or Xitter for me. Maaaaybe X (formerly known as Twitter), but never X alone.

Especially because it’s a fucking confusing name in a tech space. I swear I thought the headline referred to X Window at first.
