@aral@mastodon.ar.al @EndIsraeliApartheid@mastodon.social "It would be wise to start a question like that by reference to what happened in October of last year."ah, yes, because whether or not it's genocide depends on whether you think it's deserved?"I'm well aware of the definition of genocide"fuck you starmer

how's "AI" going? well, LinkedIn seems to think I'm qualified for phlebotomy jobs.

just, like, fuck this guy. Imagine being this fucking proud of goddamn VIOLENCE to the people he's elected to ... FUCK. this guy. Look at the goddamn violence of the state he's happy to personally engage in. He's disgusting. This is disgusting. It shouldn't happen, and he should feel shame. Like I can't imagine being the type of person who just digs their hands into the life of the most vulnerable people, ripping their shit apart, causing untold harm, and being so proud and thinking it's such a good thing you want a picture of you taken doing it. Fuck this asshole, he needs to get his stupid ass recalled.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al I am not surprised that the screen reader is broken but I honestly didn't know it was until you brought this up. I'm disappointed, and now I'm also annoyed at the people wasting everyone's time and energy to tone police you.

Fuck IBM, IBM sold machines to goddamn Nazis, the least they can do is fork over some fucking cash to sponsor accessibility. I hate this "if we're not nice to corporations they may not give us a tiny drop of care". Fuck them, throw a brick at them, SHAME THEM. I assure you that is the only thing that will ever work. IBM: DO FUCKING BETTER.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al Yeah, watching people jump in to say

1. It's not actually Red Hat/IBM being ableist because either A, they're not involved or responsible for Fedora or B. haven't prioritized it, OR
2. How fucking DARE you word things this way, if ONLY you had asked NICELY instead of being CAPTAIN DICKFACE

I dunno random reply guys, maybe fucking consider that being nice hasn't worked and that maybe we SHOULD be angry about it, yeah? Maybe people who don't have the same accessibility needs should stop politely suggesting it and say "fuck you for shipping a broken screen reader for 8 years despite being aware of the issue". Maybe that's how things actually happen and by being Reply Guys who are Critical Of The Way Things Are Being Said you're just making yourself part of the problem, which is that you're wasting Aral's time and the time of people who need screen readers by arguing about the way he said it and that you're more in the way of progress than Aral is? maybe?

It happens every single time something is brought up. Go direct your reply guy energy to Fedora if you must. Don't fucking criticize someone being upset that a basic feature has been ignored and has consequences for people.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al (if you do end up trying KDE Plasma I’m very curious how well it works!)

@chloe@chadthundercock.com they straight up tell you it's forbidden to divide by zero and yet

@fabio@manganiello.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al @eatyourglory@mastodon.uno I don’t think viewing this as “a chance to make the fediverse more mainstream” is correct. This is the fediverse equivalent of the infamous casting couch: bluntly, we’re going to get fucked and get nothing out of it. Meta has enough lawyers, engineers, compute power and paid product managers to make sure he gets way more out of this than anyone else will. He doesn’t enter into arrangements this like unless he gets more out of it than he puts in. If the “plan” on the fedi end is 1. Federate, 2. ????, 3. Social media freedom, then there’s no way in hell the fediverse is going to end up the winner here.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al sounds like you edit your Wikipedia page about your daring tales of derring-do on the high seas.

@yabellini@fosstodon.org I don't know whether it's appropriate to say but I just keep thinking "they killed Aaron Swartz for allegedly trying to give people access to science _they've funded_ and they've given 5 billion to Sam Altman for stealing from everyone"

I'm not surprised but for some reason I just can't stop thinking it. I hate it. I hate it so much. They crushed him even though apparently there was a strong indication that what he was doing wasn't even illegal.
