Http needs a status code for grudging acceptance. We have 202 Accepted. We need 222 Tolerated.

For when the client is doing it wrong, but you've decided to be the bigger person and deal with it anyway.

Your options are to merge the PR that changes your habitual he to they, or become a nazi bar.

There's nothing in between. Either you have a space where tiny little gestures of welcome toward marginalized people pass without comment, or you throw up a banner that says white supremacists welcome.

Community management protip/serenityOS subtoot:

This one's for the "nice liberals" who think gender stuff is just "too political".

Tough shit.

When you're in a position of influence in a community, then everything you do shapes the community. If you got this far by ignoring a social justice topic, good for you I guess. But you fucked up. There is no neutral position. Either you welcome marginalized people, or you welcome the people who want to keep them in the margins. You can't do both.

I don't know or care whether what's his name is terf, or white supremacist, or whatever. It doesn't matter. He's creating a space that caters to them, and that's functionally the same thing.

Remember when the FSF went to the mat for Stallman a few years ago? Since I was writing about open source governance, I remembered it about a thousand times in the last week. It just keeps making me sad, honestly.

Such a staggering failure of leadership.

@mikedev A very quick scan of the dashboard says that Fedidb is aware of at least 23,000 fediverse servers. The current location for a DID could be any of those. You're going to poll the entire fediverse to find where to send messages?

These text synthesizers just give you an empty container to pour your expectations into. It only works if you already know the answer. And if you're ready to take over when it's not even a useful container.

But if you didn't already know it was right, then you also wouldn't know it was wrong. There's so many extremely experienced people out here who have forgotten that it's even possible not to know these answers, misleading the people they're supposed to be teaching.

I hate this.

The dude literally could not see that it was basically fortune telling, but for rust. It was all him. He did it first, and then copilot copied him, badly. He did it with his literal decades of experience, which is so extensive that he can just idly correct entirely wrong code without even fully realizing he did it.

I can't stop thinking about the fawning copilot demo from a very senior engineer I saw earlier today. It starts out like "this interface changed and I need to update the usages"

*prompt*
Look at that it's exactly right
*prompt*
*fix the imports*
Yes, that's exactly the implementation I already did in a different place
*prompt*
*correct the snippet*
It's just amazing how productive this is

@eniko with thanks to @foone

@silverpill what would be the advantage of mimi over xmpp? Or any other stable standard, for that matter?
