People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.

Don't say "acronym" when you mean "abbreviation"!

"Acronym" specifically refers to an initialism that forms a new word. For example,

  • scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus)
  • NASA (pronounced like a word - you don't say "ehn eh ess eh").

It's acro- (height) -nym (word) - a word that exists on top of / above other words.

In contrast "NIH" is not an acronym because it isn't pronounced or read as a word. It's appropriate to say, "'NIH' is an abbreviation" or "'NIH' is an initialism". But saying "'NIH' is an acronym" is wrong!

There are knights that may disagree.

The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won't hire other races.

From a recent argument on here.

If you back-in to park in a typical parking lot, instead of just pulling in, I fucking hate you. I don't give a shit what your dumbass excuses are. It's NEVER faster or safer. There's no epidemic of backing over people. You could back in over someone same as backing out over someone. But that basically never happens anyways. But there's certainly shitloads of morons who clearly can't handle their vehicles or geometry and inconvenience the hell out of others as we sit and wait forever for your poor attempts to back-in and then straighten out two more times.

For everyone's insistence on doing this, they sure as hell fucking suck at it.

Now go buy a smaller car since you can't handle yours, learn to pull in and back out since it's simpler, and stop justifying the idiocy.

Using "themselves" for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.

It's "themself." (Unless they're plural.)

Also, "Latinx" is performative white ally cringe. It's not pronounceable in Spanish. Use "Latine." -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.

Android is the worst anti-consumer shit I've ever seen in software and should be illegal

My hill: Laws that give “unnecessary” rights to people are still good overall and shouldn't ever, EVER, be reversed. Laws that give “unnecessary” rights keep society stable and have come from past times soaked in blood. If you reverse 60-100 years of these gains, then society will collapse.

I’ve never heard anyone suggest otherwise. Who are you having this argument with?
