while you haven't said anything overtly wrong, i'm tired of this particular talking point coming up everytime the LGBTQIA+ community expresses being tired of there being so littile LGBTQIA+ representation within the hollywood system that openly LGBTQIA+ actors can't even get work portraying LGBTQIA+ characters.

so it's clear, it's not your fault that your comment seems like an obvious take. the media outlets that provide commentary on the hollywood system frame it as us whiney gays being unable to discern story from reality. but what we're really saying is we're tired of a system that will take our stories and sell them to us without contributing back to any of our wellbeing except for maybe the writer. you can't tell me no queer actors came for those auditions. have you been to a drama club? queer is assumed to be the default within those spaces, yet to get further in the most visible acting oportunities, you either have to be straight or allow your queerness to be obliterated.

in 2026 you really have to ask an employer what they mean by object oriented programming in the interview. do they mean a methodology of organizing pure functional code into actors and message busses? do they mean imperitive code that's interacted with through generic interfaces as with python? or do they mean javascipt style OOP where you define classes to organize your imperitive code within a functional language without any concern for the generic interfaces this could hypothetically enable?

the failure of campist based leftist infighting is that no nation represents the best interests of the working class. the global north shouldn't be thought in terms of the empires that compose it but instead in terms of a transnational oligarchy that uses national identity as a distraction from class war

as in all authoritarian regimes it depends on how you look and where you are. keep your eyes up and your head high

???

A terror state is a state that controls its citizens through the use of terror. A terrorist state is a state that then inflects that terror out into the rest of the world in an act of expansionist imperialism. So... Yeah. It's internal. Because I was talking about internal use of terror to control a citzenry

You did an excellent job!

the most active developers in both communities are frequently in both communities, and if they're not, they have a ton of respect for the developers in the other community. The "Neovim split the community" crowd who villifies the Neovim community seems to be a thread unique to people who first got involved in open source through Hackernews and are supremely confident that they know better about what's going on than people who are directly involved

Their evil is an expression of that they're all a bunch of losers who find relief from how much like losers they feel through petty displays of power

Posting to wikipedia because it's the most expedient even though it lacks a lot of the context of how the Indian government has been cracking down on tribal people in Northern India for the past 10 years

Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I'm glad you always know what's going on in the metafediverse

the lemmy nsfw admin had previously asked if anyone was willing to take ownership of the instance because it was too much mental overhead to moderate a space that could sometimes get dicey and be legally liable for what was hosted on the server. there were no takers. the fact that this admin has been silent leads me to believe that this was not an active choice and instead something away from the keyboard led to this, be that legal, personal, or mental concerns that took priority over something they already felt no one would take on based on previously asking

I dunno. I just feel less like I'm experiencing a fun new tool for communication the last few weeks. The communities here on Beehaw are still great and fantastic and aren't what I'm bothered by. It's just when I venture out in the world (which I often do) that I notice conversations are much more argumentative than I remember them being.

How's everyone else doing? Is this a minor vibez check?

 

(I mostly need this link for work tomorrow, but I thought maybe some folks here would be interested)

 

Jon Bois' and Alex Rubenstein's documentary about the Minnesota Vikings continues. Will Bud Grant win a Super Bowl this episode? Will someone freeze to death? Who will perform a feat of humanity so impressive that we will become lifelong fans, not for their exploits on the football field, but for their acts of humanity outside the world of sport? Tune in to find out!

 

The Hacker News and reddit.com/r/vim take on NeoVim is frequently that NeoVim has done tremendous harm to the overall Vim community and that the NeoVim developers aren't respectful to Beam. Having been involved in both commubitues, I have never been able to track where that idea came from. Vim has accelerated in features drastically since 2013 and the NeoVim team often goes out of their way to speak well of Bram.

JustinMK, the main organizer these days of NeoVim has pinned this issue to increase its visibility. I'm not really fully certain what should be the most fitting tribute, but its hard to express how much impact Bram has in the world of software development through his flexible improvement to a text editor from 1975. He's also been an excellent benevolent dictator for life over the Vim community throughout its existence and it feels like the world of open source software got just a little bit worse for his loss this week.

 

Specifically in the making of Synergy Kombucha, the company intimidates workers with threats of violence, does not pay living wages, and does not pay overtime

 

This is a very interesting article about the long-term sustainability of the Fediverse for moderators, administrators, and developers. We've already had two of our lovely Beehaw admins take breaks to take care of themselves as they experience the burnout associated with maintaining a community, and I think for a lot of use we already know how exhausting it can be to take a center stage position in an online community.

Unfortunately, I don't have any great starting points for what to do, but at least talking about it is a start.

 

The title I have assigned this article is intentionally boring. The article's body goes out of its way to not provide simple summaries, silver bullets, or otherwise give a single size fits all answer to everything. The author actually gave it a fun title that, I felt, did a slight disservice to their overall point, but hey, we all make our own decisions.

I thought there was some interesting stuff in there about the Fediverse at large, even if that wasn't expressly what the author was getting at.

 

I just went for my run. And wanted to talk about it with some of my new social connections here on the threadiverse. I used to run a lot. Like a lot a lot. 100 miles a week sometimes. I was a long distance specialist trying to qualify for Olympic marathon trials. Injuries and old age have ended that chapter of my life and I often find myself needing to remind myself to be proud of my ~10mi/w workload because that's more than a lot of people my age in my profession do.

Today I just ran around my neighborhood. There's a nice park nearby but I don't get to go to it very often because the street I have to run down to get there can be pretty scary. I think access to green spaces is something that often goes neglected in community planning in my country

 

For the screen readers: this is a picture of a small preying mantis, no longer than the first knuckle of my index finger

 

Explanation for screen readers: it's a tiny little praying mantis that was on my door this morning. Roughly the length of the first knuckle on my index finger

 

It gives me hope for the future of beehaw refederating with that instance. They host some interesting communities. To be clear, I fully support beehaw defederating, it's just heartwarming to see instance admins do things that move things forward
