@sir about one moment at a time
@liaizon yes and no. No because they think it's allready a fair game, so yes they therefore slack off on social justice.

"Attorney at law"
Can you be an attorney at other things?
Attorney at butt fuggin?
Attorney at pizza?
My Mother is starting a master's in education, her homework was to make a presentation about Marx in education.
My Dad, whose engineering degree made him the go-to homework tutor in our family, knows nothing about Marx or the humanities.
Then I come to the rescue with my opinionated toots. My radicalization finally paid off.
I just explained Marxism to my parents and weirdly it made them proud I know about this stuff.

@kaniini in what way?

similarly, "policeman" and "policewoman" are unnecessarily gendered -- just say "pig," or "willing tool of the fascist police state"

the terms "landlord" and "landlady" enforce the gender binary. to be more inclusive, you should use gender-neutral terms instead. like "leech," or "parasitic scum." or "human dartboard"
@liaizon Honestly I have lost hope for software freedom, because were using it not to protect everyone.
It has always struck me as strange that ideas that seem very lefty like software as an abuse of power and privacy as a human right would be used in a right wing context. Free software is being used to platform bigots and protect their privacy, these freedoms and rights are ment for everyone, but currently they are being used by a few racists to take away the right of others.

Reading about the RMS drama. Does really seem like they shouldn’t be in any position of power. They seem completely tone deaf as to the implications of their words.

The most effective way to maintain a healthy relationship with your code is through the strategic doctrine of mutually assured destruction.
@MutoShack@functional.cafe I feel like vanilla Markdown makes for great readme files, but when github users rely on images, embeds and HTML to get their point across it sort of becomes against markdown's goals.
It only looks pretty until the user looks at it.
