  • 'Far-reaching impacts': Why there's concern over a pledge to amend discrimination laws

    Jump

  • My tone was probably a bit harsh because I was getting frustrated

    You poor thing. A marginalised, discriminated group at risk of losing even more of their rights keeps arguing with you, instead of just accepting inequality. That must be frustrating for you

  • Tōkyō

  • It looks like a giant stim toy...

  • Is there a word for people who will mess something up and blame the victim for it?

    Piefed has some really bad security bugs that people running this software should be aware of

    Jump

  • So your response to Rimus actions is to fuck over hundreds of people, whilst judging his behaviour and seeing your own as righteous?

    This was a dick move.

  • Why do you post here or other social media?

    Jump

  • Because I value community, and I'm not interested in a community filtered through the interests of a profit driven company

  • How people around the world get around.

    Jump

  • I see you speak my language

  • I've removed a bunch of comments from this thread.

    The "but" in this meme means "But there are instances where I don't support a trans person's identity/equal rights". It means that there is never a scenario where you think it's ok to suggest that trans people should have less rights than cis people, and that there is never a scenario where you think it's ok to invalidate a trans persons identity.

    If your reply is something along the signs of supporting the "but..." because you think "actually, there are some shitty trans people", then cool, we know, but this isn't the thread for it, and you're pulling trans people down in a trans space, to defend a position no one was making. This isn't that thread. This is a thread for support. So I've removed those "gotcha" replies.

    If your reply is "actually, there are times when trans people don't deserve equal rights or to have their identity respected", then your comment has been removed, and you've been permanently banned from all blahaj spaces.

  • What's Your Story

    Jump

  • I spent my life thinking I should have been a girl/woman. One day I realised I was.

    Of course, it was a bit more of a journey than that makes it sound, but that's the gist of it

  • She wants us dead 🙃

    Jump

  • I'd argue that a company is more like someone not caring if it runs anyone over or not than someone who accidentally ran someone over. Wilful disregard rather than carelessness. But international harm is still worse than either

  • Finding wholesome communities

    Jump

  • That instance is closing down in July, so many communities are likely moving (or the members are)

  • She wants us dead 🙃

    Jump

  • I dropped literally everything in your list for the reasons you outlined (except WoW, which I dropped before I knew anything about Blizzard).

    But Rowling is worse than them.

    Corporations are amoral, and entirely self serving. They will fuck over anyone if it earns the corporation a profit.

    Rowling is not amoral. Rowling is driven by hate, and her goal is not self interest, and her harm is not indiscriminate. Her harm is targeted and deliberate, and she explicitly uses her visibility to normalise and encourage harm to the people she is targeting.

    And deliberate targeted hate that tries to create more hate is worse than amoral self interest.

  • Does "English (AU)" sound weird to American ears?

    Jump

  • I'm in this picture, and I'm ok with that :P

  • Print your work, frame it, and take pride in it because it's beautiful.

    Jump

  • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

    Jump

  • Two party politics

  • How does open source BIOS protect against unintentional USB devices?

    Jump

  • What am I missing? If someone steals your laptop they can just mountb the drive in their own hardware irrelevant of your bios.

  • Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches

    Jump

  • They positioned themselves as the ethical choice, financially supported a bigot, and advertised his distro, then made excuses for it when called out.

    Kinda like you're doing

  • Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches

    Jump

  • I'm not going to dance around words because you want to protect the sensibilities of a bigot.

  • Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches

    Jump

  • I'm not "meh" about denouncing bigots. If you've supported a bigot and you don't actively and vocally walk it back, that's not "meh". That's a refusal to acknowledge the issue and the harm done in normalising the voices and visibility of bigots

  • Is Framework an ethical company?

    Jump

  • Nope. I'm not telling anyone to avoid Framework or anyone else.

    But they're not the "ethical" choice. They're another shitty company doing shitty things that hurt people. That should be a factor in your purchasing decision, but it shouldn't be the whole of it, because it's pretty much impossible to exist without supporting companies like that in some way or another.

    Rule 3 - Don't post negative, depressing news articles about trans issues unless there is a call to action or a way to help.
