a reminder that the language you use matters and "sideloading" is a term made up by the enemy

it's called installing software

in reply to zaire the bored genderfuck

90s Install the Computer Program
00s Install the Application
10s Install the App
20s Get the App

"They simplified the terms to accommodate their corporate ideals"
"They made up words to separate their "good" from our "bad""

- "Advanced development features" such as "sideloading" unverified external software.

1. It's not an "Advanced feature", we have been able to install software on devices since the beginning of the computers. We are doing it every day.

2. Sideloading: There is no "side", you make it sound like there is a side of "good" and "bad" apps. Also it's not "loading" we are installing them just like any other app.

3. "Unverified": Who cares whatever you "verify" or not. Software is software. When you try to run uncertified software on Windows or Mac it runs without a problem. Why should this be any different?

4. "External": External to what? To you? To the phone? You are not my phone, you are not my friend, you are a multimillion dollar company. You don't get to decide what I put on my phone.

@jupiter_rowland @azalea i dont "expect" you cater to the desires of everyone ever. i expect you to cater to me and my needs if you also want to interact with me, and i expect a kind of baseline respect towards all people who exist everywhere;

and i think your way of hubzilla cw's is really inaccessible for if you actually have serious trauma related issues,

and if your gonna throw your hands in the air going "your way of doing cw's is annoying" and appealing to "but what about us nooormal people who dont need it and find it annoying" over it basically being a requirement to exist anywhere at all, im gonna take that as generally hostile towards me and people w my needs ..

my complaints arent about it being a summary field or whatever that honesrly just sounds like a silly hack, and should be more codified, i dont care about implementation the issue is: "this makes it inaccessible and means i and those with same issues as me, can not use this platform"

if your answer is to say "wah im expected to treat people properly and reapect their needs whenever i interact with them" then im not really interested in taking this any further, just admit you dont give a shit about other people at all.

the fact your maintainers when a accessibility issue is pointed out will just go "but but someone might get annoyed!! so fuck you just be traumatzied" and insist "you just dont want to setup filtering" when "setting up filtering" in this sense is impossible, write down everything that could ever be an issue for me at once, which i cant becausee dissociation, amnesia, differing between alters, or; use it, get triggered (i.e PTSD) over and over, try figure out why, and add it to the list each time, all so you can go off some arbitary purity shit of it only being around gore or sex for no reason,

I haven't read the whole thread; I just skimmed through it. However, since I have been mentioned, I will reply.

If anyone has a problem with what Friendica does or how it behaves, I suggest creating an issue in our repository so that we can eventually find a solution.

Regarding 'eventually', however: Friendica is developed by a small team who are constantly eager to improve it, but resources are limited, so improvements can take time.

Regarding the summary field that Mastodon uses for "content warnings": It is possible to create posts in Friendica that contain this field. When a conversation contains information in this field, the reply will automatically contain the content of this field by default.

can we then not call them smart phones? they’re computers, microcomputers with telephony ―just like the old, big ass Gateway computers of the 1990s. it’s because Gateway popularized VOIP that these microcomputers exist. but techbros didn’t want to call them computers ―and even less telephones― because of wiretapping laws. “smart phones” is propaganda used to circumvent not just privacy laws, but right to repair, ownership & second market laws.

The crime Americans are most likely to be victims of is wage theft.

And that you hear almost nothing about wage theft in the news is a constant reminder that "crime" is 99% a racist dog whistle designed by the corporate elite to help them get away with crime.

in reply to lolgop

I think that actually every employer I've ever had in my life in America stole wages from me, except one—and I shit you not, it was Donald Trump.

When I worked at Trump Plaza as a Stage Technician in the late 80s, I was very well paid (with overtime after 8 hrs in one day), had full benefits, including paid meal breaks and free restaurant quality staff meals, and a wonderful working environment (except when He was visiting our backstage area, which thankfully wasn't often).

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

One of the tough things about losing a unified social media (the site formerly known as bird) is that I have to work a lot harder to reach enough audience to fill my poetry project.

It would be easier to just write fewer poems. But I would rather reach the hearts I can.

This is just to say, I have 48 spots left. I start writing October 1st. Get yours.

- it is extremely hard to persuade these people to reconsider their views at all even when presented with fairly solid scientific research and data on trans physiology, GAHT safety, rate of regret, effects on mental health, etc.

- religion is a huge influence, and i've lost count of how many times bible verses related to *homosexuality* have been extrapolated to trans people by the 'christian taliban'

*...*

in reply to crispycat

@crispycat There's a cognitive style strongly correlated with right-wing ... er, thinking: not thinking about connections of concepts and phenomena and facts, but instead repeating packets of dogma made up by other people. And when a mind just doesn't follow connections and has no mechanism to independently check the validity of a Knowledge Packet, it's pretty hard to convince that mind to discard a dogma merely because it doesn't fit with well-supported facts.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom

#transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

in reply to Transgender World

I’m glad that people are seeing through Newsom’s performances. Newsom is nothing more than a conservative leaning democrat. He does not have the poor or working class interests at heart. He still thinks trickle down economics works as evidenced in his support of corporations. More people need to see this! Also, Newsom doesn’t really have the best interests of the #LGBTQ community. We know for a fact he could care less about the #homeless. He signed into law a bill that criminalized camping on public property.

Hi!

I've got some funding to work with a handful of Leeds-based heritage organisations (which I'm defining very loosely). I just need to find some organisations fitting that description that also have people interested in working with a freelancer (me) to discover mathematical themes in some of their stories & objects & develop some sort of educational activity around them. My fees are covered plus there's a small amount extra that can be applied for to cover some resource development costs.

I want you, a tech-literate person, to internalize one deep fact: Apple vs. Facebook is, and always was, kayfabe. In reality, Apple is (and always was) Facebook's chauffeur; holding its coat while it surveilled everyone. How to be sure? IABs:

Apple facilitates mass surveillance through native apps from Facebook, both directly from in-app activity, but much more insidiously, through "in-app browsers" that FB tacks onto every link you tap. And these things are *rank*.

But if he stopped using testosterone and started taking estradiol, he could smell like me.

Look down, look up. Where are you?

Look again, that syringe is now diamonds.

to me, the only part that doesn't make sense is that he tried to hoax it, rather than just waiting. Deaths in bike-person or bike-bear-sized animal collisions are vastly rarer than for cars, but they're not actually impossible, and now there's a smooth gradient from "ebike can do 20mph!" to "electric dirt bike can beat your mom's gasoline-powered kawasaki at the local drag",

The Guardian is reporting that figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate that at least 83% of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians.

This is what happens when there is no international accountability, when there is no independent media reporting, and when politicians globally do nothing but fund more war.

Shame on all the enablers. My bet is they whitewash this horrific fact as well. History will remember them with disgust & disdain.

The pigtailed girl reshared this.

The fascist "Free Press" just published a disgusting claim that kids in Gaza aren't dying by starvation, but because they were already sick with other diseases.

Anne Frank died of Typhus. The "Free Press" fascists would argue that it was a natural disease—not the concentration camp—that killed her.

A reminder that the Nuremberg Trials also held accountable journalists who whitewashed and excused genocide.

@nazokiyoubinbou I think there is a misunderstanding of what I wrote. I did edit it a little for clarification.
To be more clear. The same fascist people/press that is claiming that kids are not starving to death in Gaza currently, also said that the US should not have shutdown schools and businesses because of “fake/inflated COVID numbers. It is the same press lying about and spreading dis/misinformation about what is actually happening.

The image features a man dressed in a formal suit with a white flower pinned to his lapel, holding a can of WD-40 in his left hand. He is using a red straw to drink from the can, which is unusual as WD-40 is a cleaning product and not meant for consumption. The background includes a statue and a wall with a warm, golden hue. The text at the top of the image reads, "If you can't drink WD-40, then why does it come with a straw?!" This text humorously questions the inclusion of a straw with a product that is not intended to be consumed.

This includes California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
