I need more context because this sounds very NotAllMen and I am not the audience for that nonsense.

Given the rhetoric coming out of Merz, I would not be surprised. The CDU/CSU wishlist is indistinguishable from US Republicans on most points.

If politicians gave a shit about children, the schools would feature:
- HVAC systems that cleaned viruses out of the air
- at least two child psychologists on staff
- age-appropriate lessons to help children identify abuse
- funding for well-paid staff in numbers sufficient for a buddy system to reduce the chances of abuse
- arts education and after-school clubs to provide third spaces for kids
- massive, safe playgrounds
- protected biking and walking infrastructure from the school to residential neighborhoods
Instead we get “parents’ rights”, funding cuts, book bans, and car-centric infrastructure that kills pedestrians and bikers.
If social media is bad for kids, THEY NEED ALTERNATIVES.

Let me understand the argument:
The fediverse is unwelcoming to people whose labour was stolen for centuries because automated labour-stealing systems are widely opposed here.
Silly me, I thought it was the widespread racism and specifically anti-Blackness of a community dominated by white people who wailed and gnashed their teeth at codes of conduct for conferences where horrible things happened. I thought it was the result of ignoring people who recognised the threat of the GUY WITH THE ENORMOUS NAZI TATTOO who ran a coding educator off the Internet years before Gamergate oozed into existence. I thought it was ignoring people who recognised what the “alt-right” was doing on social media years before pale pundits acted like it emerged suddenly from thin air (next post in this thread is an article about this).
Shite moderation is the issue, not anti-AI opinions.

“ At the corporate retreat, employees met to discuss unionization, two of the current and former employees said. In March, NPM laid off the five employees, leading to the filing of a charge of unfair labor practices with the N.L.R.B. before the company settled.
“As a fairly outspoken proponent of socialism, it’s really weird and surprising to be accused of union-busting,” Laurie Voss, an NPM co-founder and chief data officer, wrote on Twitter in May. “The allegations in the complaint are not true.”

If you can’t handle a woman saying “no” to you, you don’t belong in FLOSS.
We had a whole discussion about this.

Armed conflict is not a sports game.
You don’t need to pick a side.
You can also oppose one government without supporting the government that declares war on said government.
You can also, and I know this is a big stretch, oppose a third government in the conflict!
You can declare solidarity with all the people in the region who aren’t murdering thieving assholes.
You can call for mitigating a bad situation without that being a declaration of support for the whole mess.

The tech bros aren’t “saying the quiet part out loud” just now.
They were saying it with the demographics of their teams. They were screaming it with the demographics of leadership. They were being crystal clear when they fired people for pointing out the harms of language models trained on sexist, racist data.

Arguments about AI purely about the tech feel like modern-day disputes between medieval monks about how to shave parts of their heads.
Yes, the issue is about gender and labour, environmental racism, colonialism, and other issues that need to be discussed among people other than white dude tech celebrities.
Calm down about tonsures, Dunstan, we’re worried about crop yields and plague at the moment.

A software license doesn’t make software good.
Open source code written by a bunch of sexist, racist, ableist assholes is no viable alternative.
Free, libre, open source code is good when:
-
there are design docs
-
there are risk assessments
-
there is user research
-
accessibility is a requirement from the beginning
-
it is private by design
-
documentation is a part of every release
All of this is enabled by teams with a code of conduct, and no tolerance for assholes.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion is the key to all of the goals FLOSS projects claim to share.

I am the very model of a hacker individual,
I’ve information cryptographic, analog and digital,
I know every cypherpunk, adhere to Kerckhoff’s principle,
I bounce from node to node so I can make myself invisible.
I’m very well acquainted, too, with server vulnerability,
I escalate my privilege and I trash availability,
I know the latest breaches and I know first when the ‘net’s ablaze,
Nets ablaze nets ablaze…
With many cheerful facts about developments in zero days.
