  • It looks like someone did a PR in 2021 asking them to change their language in their build instructions to be gender neutral and they locked it to say that that was not the place for ‘ideologically driven requests from new accounts/non-contributers’. The same person said they wouldn’t be against that PR in 2023. The team then changed their docs to use general neutral language, as far as I can tell.

    While it’s still a huge red flag, I’d be interested to know if you’re aware of any other viewpoints or specific actions from other devs from the project.






  • Does anyone know what I am talking about when I ask for this source I saw on Hexbear a long while back?

    It was a former US military official explaining US nuclear policy as essentially “in a nuclear event, launch our missiles at anyone snd everyone, including allies. In the confusion, nobody will know it was us, and we prevent any any other country having an advantage over us in the Mad Max Future. We will be the only nation standing in the dust”.

    Thats a lot of paraphrasing but a good gist. I’m trying to explain to someone why its so dangerous to be in a direct war with the US and why having nukes is one of the only real defenses.





  • I still hear anecdotal reports from both places about cops refusing to do their jobs, potentially as retaliation. Taking hours to show up to an urgent scene, not following up on reports, etc. A few weeks ago, a teenager carjacked someone and zoomed right past the cops in Minneapolis, who didn’t move a muscle. Their reasoning was that a car chase was more dangerous than just showing up to the kids house, which might be fair (except that they often stop to rob 5 or 6 people at gunpoint before they’re done), but the perception is that they generally don’t do anything in 99% of other youth car jacking cases that go on in the area.
