i rather wish that people would read my explicit words rather than inventing implications and trying to jam them into my mouth.

i say that without malice or condescension; it's just that when you're a warrior at war, everything is the war, and nothing isn't.

that's not me. that is, however, a fair number of people on the internet these days.

i'm just some dude who cares about things.

people who call me an sjw because i mention in the comments section of websites that i don't like concentration camps or those who collaborate with the operators of same have never met a real sjw like @emsenn.

@emsenn replying on my own server to things i read on the internet by strangers isn't crossing any boundary, you are mistaken about the way the web works.

you're also mistaken about what (or who) is or isn't supremacist.

@mhoye @emsenn ahh, indeed, you got me (and i missed it). dispassionate professional opinion, not a personal value judgement.

@emsenn what is or isn't gross is opinion. the presence/absence of features is fact, and what sells and does not sell in a market is fact. what "should" or "should not" fail is not relevant.

also, what you called a gross viewpoint isn't a viewpoint, it's a statement of fact. re-read my tweet. i've not expressed any opinions here.

@Th3G4m3r nope

@emsenn sourcehut has other significant product failings, the remediation of which are stated non-goals of the project, which are much more likely to doom it to obscurity than any attribute of the founder.

@amerika countries are fictions

on macOS you can still run unsigned binaries, true. but if you're releasing software for mass consumption, not engaging with apple's services (e.g. apple id, developer program) is commercial suicide, as the OS is actively interfering with the ability of normal everyday users to run unapproved code:

you have to control/rightclick and "open" an app twice, and you get a modal two times, the first one doesn't even let you open it. both offer "move to trash" as default.

so long as disney holds copyright to star wars, don't promote the characters from it unless they're paying you. disney doesn't even pay what it owes. don't donate free advertising to them.

@amolith 20 years of people like you yelling at and threatening users shows that doesn’t work at all and yet you still try it. who’s dumber?

one of the nicest things about usbc computers is that you can charge them from usbc cell phone chargers that don’t do PD if you aren’t in a hurry or don’t use them often. you can leave them on a $7 bodega charger for 12-24h and they’ll be full the next day.

humans get to the simple truths, it just takes a year and millions dead first for the overton window to catch up:
