Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Sorry, no sneer today. I'm tired of this to the point where I'm dreaming up new software licenses.

A trans person no longer felt safe in our community and is no longer developing. In response, at least four different forums full of a range of Linux users and developers (Lemmy #1, Lemmy #2, HN, Phoronix (screenshot)) posted their PII and anti-trans hate.

I don't have any solutions. I'm just so fucking disappointed in my peers and I feel a deep inadequacy at my inability to get these fuckwads to be less callous.

just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's incomprehensible - only that you're lacking

I understand it completly, thank you. It has nothing to do with someone's status as a person. I'm grateful that they spend their time and energy on open source. It's a shame they're being brigaded. They still did something called vaugebooking.

It's not exclusive to any one group of people, but it is a widespread phenominon that has been scientifically studied.

it's cool that you discovered a word that lets you call Asahi Lina unnecessarily dramatic and attention-seeking in a way that lets you believe you "never gave an oppinion on the matter" and that you're just neutrally observing a scientifically studied phenomenon!

wait no "cool" isn't the right word now is it

It's actually fine to be vague if you don't want to go into further detail.

I never gave an oppinion on the matter.

I'm more interested in what we call what you're doing. Is it sealioning?
