Honestly, I think that if I would say "my pronouns are he/him", people would think that's a weird thing to say and would think something like "oh, it's one of those woke people".

Where I live, the people that tell you about their pronouns are a minority, and they are usually people that need to tell you their pronouns to avoid confusion, or people that are particularly active in the "woke" community.

For 99% of the people you meet, it's fair to assume pronouns because it's obvious. And if your assumption was wrong, they can just tell you. No need to get butthurt over it.

Saying "my pronouns are..." without anyone asking for them is just ridiculous in my opinion. Like, what are people going to say 5 years from now? "My name is ...., my pronouns are ..., my ethnicity is ..., I live in ... and my favorite color is ...."?

What a dumb way to start a conversation. You know, the whole point of a conversation is that you ask and answer questions, or share things you like to share. We don't need to share everything in the introduction sentence, including pronouns. It's just pointless most of the time.

To be clear: if anyone wants to tell me their pronouns right away, all good, I won't dislike you for it. Just don't expect the same from me, just assume my pronouns and I'll be happy to correct you on the off chance that you're wrong.

CIQ is the company behind Rocky and they joined. I believe Alma is taking a slightly different approach than the others, hence they did not join.

Like $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_DATA_HOME?

Is it just me or do large portions of this article feel AI-generated?

The fact that W3C defines the protocol doesn't stop large companies from doing whatever they want. Have a look at Google: their web browser has become so widely adopted that Google effectively controls what is considered part of the spec, not W3C.

If Meta's platform grows to become the biggest fediverse project, they will control the spec and others will either have to follow, or risk dropping out. This is just like how Firefox is forced to follow Google to ensure all websites work properly on Firefox, even if these sites don't comply with the spec.

If you're going to use a poorly moderated site like TPB, you might as well go all-in and use a DHT crawler like Bitsearch or BTDigg. On these websites you can find anything. If it's not on BTDigg, it's probably not on any public tracker.

The cloudflare protection of their main instance is breaking federation right now, which is a bit annoying. I hope this will be resolved soon.

Specifically for lemmy: https://browse.feddit.de/, to find more smaller communities you like and help them grow.

Why the hate against lemmygrad? Just let them have their opinion. Have they done anything wrong to you personally? No? Then let them be. At least this is how I like to think about it.

Also, are we really going to start witch hunts for instances that federate with an instance that you don't like?

I don't think his political views are relevant in the first place. As long as he's a great developer and nice to work with, there is no problem for Lemmy and its users.

People really need to stop doing this thing where they disagree with something someone says just to discredit everything else that person does.

Fedora, because it just works and it ships recent software versions.

I also like Fedora Silverblue, and projects like ublue are very interesting in my opinion.

Could be that people already have these awards and since they might want to leave reddit, they just give those awards to random comments from the CEO. Probably unlikely, but who knows?
