wikipedia has fairly fleshed out histories:

not sure why you are getting downvoted.

such stereotypes absolutely exist to dehumanize. the other comment about red foods and juneteenth, while not factually false, fully misses the point of OPs question to an embarrassing degree.

edit: i guess to nitpick rather than “a meal imposed by oppressors” you should have said “two foods associated with stereotypes imposed by oppressors.” just to be fair.

syncthing is goated ! but boo on the manually renaming part that’s so 2014 and i need need need a software that can be slayer than that

dude essentially a camera roll with tagging, folders, ocr/text search and duplicate recognition would go crazy.

bonus points if it can use some image recognition to do auto sorting by format or macro.

once you start it becomes a really fun habit lol

i have trauma from this type of app becoming obsolete or paywalled like 5 months into using it 😭

not all collections are colorful little squares tho

that’s a hypothetical, not a counterargument.

yes if i lived in one of the polar circles the sun may not rise. but i don’t live there.

this whole thread just needs a dictionary and some tea. buncha ppl stressing out and arguing semantics about pretty well-defined terms.

that’s a hypothetical, not a counterargument

I believe the sun will rise tomorrow and if I said to you I had a sincere counterargument I’d be lying.

Pardon me for being utterly emotional about things I guess lol.

It’s so wild that I have seen like, four Linux people in my lifetime admit the simple truth that every version of Windows and macOS, iOS and Android since conception have been geared progressively more toward being absolutely friendly to users that are dumb as rocks—in a good way—where Linux has absolutely not. And that this barrier is 100% of the difference between proprietary desktop environments and Linux. Linux is majority developed for power users, full stop. The closest I have seen to the contrary is like, maybe the Adwaita devs, and unfortunately they don’t have the reach to apply their knowledge to essential UX stuff like app installation or hardware compatibility.

This is why I get so frustrated with the “just switch to Linux, loser” crowd, because it’s so utterly disconnected with the reality that most people do not have the resources to invest in any kind of learning curve. It has to be intuitive and accessible from the start. Web developers understand this. MS, Apple, and Google get it. Like, even people who design public transportation understand that they must cater to a user who is drunk and not fluent in the local language when designing signage and systems. Why doesn’t the vast majority of the Linux community get it?

genuinely playing tetris afterwards has been found to help with recovery from traumatic experiences

The irony is, I am seeing a lot of productive discussion? Like high key? Alongside the standard rage, trolling and harassment of course (which should be banned).

I genuinely think that, if women actually stick around, this event could be a net positive for the Lemmyverse. What’s needed is just like several dozen deep breaths, some listening, and of course more effective moderation of the bad actors.

This is an excellent analysis of the reasoning that led into this. Thank you for sharing.

Plenty of people are dismissing this as “ragebait,” which, sure. But like, what on earth is more rage-worthy than systemic rape culture and silencing of women?

There is definitely a time and place for tone policing. But that’s never the exact minute a woman expresses her lived experience in a way that actually grabs attention. ❤️

done, thank you

Yeah man, thanks for sharing your story, genuinely very poignant.

But at this point I genuinely don’t care about the bear thing. Women were harrased into leaving the platform, nothing was done to the accounts who did it, and that’s the story here.

I definitely hope the bear thing isn’t the last time SA is discussed on Lemmy. With such a male heavy population, it’s honestly a tremendous opportunity to expose a huge chunk of men to basic feminist theory. Fight the good fight homie 💖

Yeah at this point I don’t care about the bear thing. So two weeks ago. I do however care about the abject harrassment that happened. Thank you for your perspective.
