It began with a spark—a dormant passion reignited after many years away from motorcycling. Life had steered me in different directions, away from the saddle, but something deep inside pulled me back to the thrill and freedom that only riding offers.Harry Gill
Like y'all keep posting about it, praising it and what not.
But the dev is a fascist, the discord server is a fascist bar, and the project thus is fascist.
I've met people who were harassed, I browserd through now deleted messages of Vaxry using slurrs and more.
So I wonder is if the people who post constantly about it know and are complicit, or just don't know and would act otherwise?

“The difference between [socialism and fascism] is superficial and purely formal, but it is significant psychologically: it brings the authoritarian nature of a planned economy crudely into the open. The main characteristic of socialism (and of communism) is public ownership of the means of production, and, therefore, the abolition of private property. The right to property is the right of use and disposal. Under fascism, men retain the semblance or pretense of…

Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

The US Navy has lost another fighter jet in the Red Sea, marking the second incident involving an F/A-18 Super Hornet from the USS Harry S. Truman in just over a week, and the third such loss since Washington intensified operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen.The aircraft reportedly plunged into the sea after experiencing an arrestment failure while attempting to land on the carrier, forcing both the pilot and weapons systems officer to eject. CNN first reported the incident on Tuesday, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter.
“The arrestment failed, causing the aircraft to go overboard. Both aviators safely ejected and were rescued by a helicopter assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 11,” an unnamed defense official told USNI News. “The aviators were evaluated by medical personnel and assessed to have minor injuries. No flight deck personnel were injured.”
The incident reportedly occurred the same day the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group “took a shot” at the Truman, though it remains unclear whether the two events are connected.
That represents just under 1 percent of the US F-18 fleet lost to the Yemeni military, which is impressive in that Yemen does not even have an air force.
Perhaps more importantly, it tends to give the #lie to #PresidentTrump’s unexpected claim yesterday that the #Houthis have “capitulated” and have opened the #RedSea to the #US #Navy.

Israeli snipers routinely, deliberately shoot #children in the head throughout the Gaza Strip.
Israel created an AI system for the IDF to target suspected #Hamas fighters when they go home to their families and mockingly called it “Where’s Daddy?”, because they are killing the fighters’ children.Israel has targeted healthcare facilities and ambulances in Gaza hundreds upon hundreds of times. They’ve been documented entering the hospitals they attack and systematically destroying individual pieces of medical equipment in order to make them unusable.
#IDF soldiers constantly post photos and videos to their social media accounts showing themselves mockingly dressing in the clothes of dead and displaced Palestinian women and playing with the toys of dead and displaced Palestinian children.
The IDF has admitted to running a popular Telegram channel called “72 Virgins” which posted extremely gory and sadistic snuff films of people in #Gaza being butchered by Israeli forces.
After destroying buildings full of civilians, the IDF has been known to send in sniper drones to pick off the survivors, including children.Israel has murdered a historically unprecedented number of journalists in its Gaza onslaught, and has been knowingly attacking humanitarian aid workers.
Israeli soldiers #rape and #torture Palestinian prisoners to death, including doctors. On the rare occasions that anyone is ever arrested for these abuses, Israelis have riots — not to oppose the abuses, but to oppose the arrests of the perpetrators.
And now Israel is openly declaring its agenda to ethnically cleanse the entire Gaza Strip of Palestinians, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich saying the plan is for Gaza’s population to be “concentrated” at the southern end of the enclave and pressured to leave while the rest of Gaza is “totally destroyed”.
“The population of #Gaza will be concentrated from the Morag Corridor southwards. The rest of the Strip will be empty,” #Smotrich said, adding, “They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”A poll released earlier this year found that only three percent of Jewish Israelis oppose the planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza on moral grounds. That’s right: three percent. Three out of every one hundred people.
I got into a back and forth with a liberal Israel supporter the other day whose entire argument basically boiled down to “Oh so you’re claiming Israel is just doing terrible things to civilians on purpose, just because they’re evil??”
And, I mean, yes. That’s a bit of an oversimplification, but yes. Israel is evil. It’s a deeply evil country full of deeply evil people. Again: three percent.My interlocutor was attempting to dismiss the idea of Israelis being horrible people as a legitimate explanation for their actions in Gaza, meaning Israel’s actions could only be explained as rational responses to unfortunate provocations by the Palestinians (who he of course had no trouble believing were bloodthirsty savages). But the evidence says Israel really is as evil as it looks.
As we have discussed previously, this isn’t because there’s anything inherently evil in Judaism or Jewishness which would cause a state led by Jews to behave in this way. Rather, it’s because modern Israel has from its very inception been premised on the idea of a tiered society where one ethnic group dominates the others, making injustice and inequality an inherent part of the system. Israelis are indoctrinated from birth into accepting this unjust apartheid framework as normal, which necessarily entails indoctrinating them into accepting the dehumanization and abuse of the disempowered group.
If you have a society whose populace are systematically indoctrinated into accepting apartheid and abuse as normal and good, you are inevitably going to wind up with a society full of sociopaths. That’s who’s going to be casting the votes, serving in the military, working in the media, and working in the government. It’s not caused by their ethnicity or their religion — it’s caused by the perverse nature of the apartheid state in which they live.
Many westerners tend to give Israel the benefit of the doubt because they assume from the beginning that this can’t be as simple as it looks and the abuse cannot be as one-sided as it appears to be. They assume this because western news media and politicians are constantly churning out narratives to make Israel look as innocent as possible and Palestinians look as guilty as possible, but in reality this really is exactly what it looks like: Israelis murdering and starving a civilian population in order to steal their land.
It really is that simple. Israel really is that bad. And so is anyone who supports it.

Michael Rivero: Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Criticism of Israel or its present political administration does not fit the definition of the word antisemitic regardless of whether the critical statement is balanced. Using the term antisemitic in that accusatory fashion inappropriately makes it a political hot button code word diluting its power and importance when used according to its actual definition.
Merriam-webster defines anti-semitism as "hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group". Dictionary.com simply says "Prejudice or hatred against Jews".
No mention is made of Israel or its politicians or its actions.

Here's an odd one... These tomatoes all come from the same plant, which is a volunteer I found growing in the compost.
About a third of the plant has tomatoes that look like mini beefsteak!!! I had a full size beefsteak growing last year that produced a 3 pound tomato... Most were closer to normal.
Anyways, it must have crossbred with a Everglades tomato plant... But only a third? If they taste good I'll keep some seeds and maybe sell them next year as a novelty tomato.
Fortunately the tomatoes didn't take much damage from the hail storm.

Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Jeffrey #Sachs est un économiste américain de renommée mondiale, professeur à l'université Columbia et ancien président de la Commission #Covid-19 du #Lancet, connu pour ses recherches approfondies sur les origines de la #pandémie. Il milite pour une gouvernance mondiale renforcée afin de contrôler les manipulations dangereuses de pathogènes, pointant du doigt les dissimulations autour des recherches menées à l'université de Caroline du Nord.
"- Je vais vous révéler une triste vérité, quelque peu surprenante. Je dois admettre que ce que je m'apprête à vous dire n'est sûr qu'à 99 %. Mais mon avis, basé sur des recherches très approfondies menées ces derniers 4 ans 1/2, c’est que le Covid provient de l'université de Caroline du Nord, qui est le principal centre de recherche sur les bêta-coronavirus, qui collabore avec le gouvernement américain sur une série de propositions de subventions qui ont identifié l’introduction du changement viral à l'origine du #SARS-Cov-2. C'est une vérité sinistre. C'est moche. On l'a dissimulé. Si j'évoque cela dans ce contexte, c'est parce qu'il n'existe actuellement aucune gouvernance mondiale efficace pour contrôler la manipulation d'agents pathogènes dangereux, comme celle qui a créé la pandémie et déclenché sa propagation. Officiellement, le bilan s'élève à 7 millions de morts, mais si l'on compte tous les décès liés au Covid, on est probablement plus proche de 20 millions. Et même dans ce cas, il n'y a jamais d'enquête sérieuse, tout est dissimulé, caché.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal: The unique method of reflection indulged in by the Pythagoreans and followers of Plato (and pursued in modern times by Descartes, Fichte, Krause, Hegel, and more recently at least partly by Bergson) involves exploring one’s own mind or soul to discover universal laws and solutions to the great secrets of life. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Une bonne nouvelle, l'administration Trump a annoncé qu'elle cesserait de bombarder le Yémen, acceptant enfin l'offre de longue date d'Ansar Allah de cesser d'attaquer les navires américains si les États-Unis mettaient fin à leur campagne de bombardements.
Cette annonce est présentée comme une victoire par M. Trump et ses partisans, qui affirment que les Houthis ont « capitulé », mais il s'agit en fait d'une victoire pour le Yémen. Les forces yéménites ont clairement indiqué qu'elles continueraient à attaquer Israël jusqu'à ce qu'il mette fin à ses atrocités génocidaires à Gaza, ce qui était la seule raison pour laquelle les États-Unis ont commencé à bombarder le Yémen, et ces attaques étaient la seule raison pour laquelle le Yémen attaquait les navires américains. Après avoir perdu deux avions de chasse et plus de vingt drones MQ-9 Reaper dans les attaques des Houthis, les États-Unis battent en retraite, la queue entre les jambes, sans avoir rien gagné.

Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative MatrixCaitlin Johnstone (Caitlin’s Newsletter)
One group of IDF soldiers celebrated one member’s impending fatherhood this week when they dropped a rigged bomb on a building in a civilian area in Gaza and sent up a plume of blue smoke. And guess what? They cheered and laughed! That’s right, they cheered and laughed and posted a video on social media! And nowhere was a word reported about how many baby boys and girls that bomb may have killed, mutilated or injured.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal: The intellect is presented with phenomena marching in review before the sensory organs. It can be truly useful and productive only when limiting itself to the modest tasks of observation, description, and comparison, and of classification that is based on analogies and differences. A knowledge of underlying causes and empirical laws will then come slowly through the use of inductive methods. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Ils ont menti. Des millions de personnes en ont payé le prix. Pendant des décennies, Big Pharma et ses acolytes médiatiques ont tourné en dérision la vérité, se moquant de toute voix qui osait remettre en question leurs récits fabriqués. Ils se moquaient de ceux qui parlaient de l’ivermectine, la qualifiant de "médicament pour chevaux", ridiculisant son utilisation et noyant la vérité dans une hystérie orchestrée.
Mais maintenant, les documents émergent, les études sont indéniables et la véritable science leur explose au visage.
L'ivermectine n'a jamais été réservée aux animaux. Elle a été conçue pour un usage humain en 1987, et le complexe médical de l'État profond le savait. Ce qu'ils ont caché au public n'était pas un accident. C'était un crime calculé contre l'humanité.
DERNIÈRE MINUTE : La Caroline du Sud décide de rendre l'ivermectine et l'hydroxychloroquine disponibles sans ordonnance grâce à une loi historique.
DÉVOILÉ : ILS ONT MENTI. DES PERSONNES SONT MORTES. LA #FDA ADMET MAINTENANT QUE LES MÉDECINS AVAIENT RAISON À PROPOS DE L'IVERMECTINE

L'ivermectine — l'antidote qu'ils ont tenté d'enterrer
De récentes révélations cliniques confirment désormais que l’ivermectine est bien plus qu’un #antiparasitaire. Voici ce qu’ils n’ont jamais voulu que vous découvriez :
• Il prévient les dommages cellulaires causés par les médicaments et les vaccins à base d’ARNm, en bloquant l’invasion de la protéine Spike.
• Il détruit le virus C directement dans la circulation sanguine, avant même qu’il ne puisse pénétrer dans une cellule.
• Il inverse les dommages causés par les vaccins , redonnant espoir à des millions de personnes qui ont été trompées ou contraintes.
L'ivermectine n'est pas qu'un simple traitement. C'est une défense. Une réparation. Une libération. Et ils le savaient depuis le début.
La plus grande peur de Big Pharma : un médicament qui guérit sans dépendance
L'empire pharmaceutique prospère grâce à une dépendance à vie . Son modèle exige que les patients restent suffisamment malades pour nécessiter des ordonnances à répétition, mais jamais suffisamment guéris pour s'en sortir.
L’ivermectine brise ce modèle :
• Il agit comme un puissant anti-inflammatoire , sans les effets secondaires dévastateurs des corticostéroïdes.
• Il renforce les muscles , régénère les nerfs et combat l’inflammation systémique à sa base.
• Il guérit les maladies auto-immunes — polyarthrite rhumatoïde, fibromyalgie, psoriasis, maladie de Crohn — des maladies auxquelles Big Pharma enchaîne les patients à vie.
Chaque fonction restaurée par l'ivermectine représente un dollar perdu pour le cartel. Il a donc fallu la tourner en dérision. La censurer. L'effacer de la mémoire collective.
Combattre le cancer, les maladies cardiaques et les troubles neurologiques — naturellement
De nouvelles données révèlent désormais que les avantages de l’ivermectine s’étendent au-delà des maladies infectieuses :
• Il améliore la fonction cardiaque , prévenant l’hypoxie cardiaque lors d’événements emboliques.
• Il présente une activité antinéoplasique , supprimant la croissance tumorale et les métastases.
Eric Montana Officiel, [07/05/2025 15:47]
2/2 • Il améliore l’efficacité de la chimiothérapie , tuant même les cellules cancéreuses résistantes à la chimiothérapie.
• Il régénère les nerfs du système nerveux central — un coup dévastateur porté au monopole des grandes sociétés pharmaceutiques sur les "marchés de traitement" neurodégénératifs.
En d’autres termes : l’ivermectine aurait pu économiser des millions – et des milliards de dollars – en pertes de profits pour l’industrie pharmaceutique.
Renforcement de l'immunité, sauvetage métabolique et transformation de la santé mondiale
Mais la liste des trahisons ne s’arrête pas là.
• Il renforce l’immunité des patients atteints de cancer , améliorant ainsi leur survie et leur qualité de vie.
• Il combat les infections virales chroniques comme l’herpès simplex et le zona.
• Il régule le glucose et l’insuline , inversant potentiellement les troubles métaboliques comme le diabète de type II.
• Il réduit la graisse du foie , contrant ainsi l’explosion mondiale de la stéatose hépatique.
Imaginez un monde où les hôpitaux ne déborderaient pas. Imaginez un monde où les taux de maladies chuteraient naturellement. Imaginez un monde sans les chaînes dorées des grandes entreprises pharmaceutiques.
Ils l’ont imaginé aussi — Et c’est pourquoi ils se sont battus pour enterrer l’Ivermectine avec toutes les armes dont ils disposaient.
Le rideau tombe sur l'État médical profond
La vérité sur l'ivermectine représente plus qu'un scandale scientifique. C'est la révélation d'un système industriel conçu non pas pour guérir, mais pour récolter des corps, des vies et des avenirs.
Big Pharma et ses marionnettistes de l'État profond ont mené une guerre pour trouver un remède. Ils ont préféré le profit à la vie humaine. Ils ont ri pendant que le monde brûlait.
Mais leur rire s'éteint. Les documents refont surface. Les gens s'éveillent.
Et maintenant, alors que la tendance s’inverse, il n’y aura plus d’oubli ni de pardon.
La guérison commence par la vérité. La justice commence par la révélation. La victoire commence par ne plus jamais laisser l'ennemi dicter nos vies.

Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
- Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
- Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
- Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
- Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
- Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
- Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
- Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
- Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
- Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
- Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
- Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
- Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
- Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
- Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
- Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
- Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
- Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
- Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
- Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
- Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
- Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
- Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
- Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
- Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
- Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
- Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
- Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
- Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
- Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

You're absolutely correct that fascism is an illiberal capitalist ideology, but Mussolini framed their movement as pro-labour, not pro-capitalist. We must learn to recognize Classical Fascism's class-collaborationist hypothesis as flawed and pro-capitalist, especially since this rhetoric is often echoed in social democracy.

in reply to apotheotic (she/her) • • •Why is it wrong to promote the things a shitty person makes?
It's FOSS, so using it doesn't give them money. On the other hand, a user might voluntarily donate if they're unaware.
One might claim they're being given a platform in the community by people promoting their product, but on the other hand I hear more loudly that they're toxic, fascist and banned from various places.
Anything else to add?
apotheotic (she/her)
in reply to comfy • • •I don't have a lot that I would add, but I would just assert that the "user might donate if they're unaware" is a big enough reason on its own. Even if you promote it alongside a caveat mentioning the moral shortcomings, the people who start using it because of your promotion might also promote it, but there's no guarantee they'll keep the caveat (in fact I'd consider it likely that people who will use the product despite the caveat are exceptionally likely to neglect to mention anything in their promotion).
And to your second point I'd say that its pretty indisputable that they are being given a platform, as evidenced by the platform they have. It is a platform that is, as you mention, not subscribed to by a lot of people with a moral backbone, but it is significant.
If I had to give a one-liner for why it is bad to promote the things a shitty person makes, I'd say "its a bit of a Nazi bar thing".

I feel this path is sort of a baby-sitting approach to recommendations. Not only do I have to know if the software if good before recommending it, I also have to research if there's a chance that whoever I'm recommending it to might find a community somewhere for which they might lack enough critical thinking to judge on by themselves?
How about we recommend good software while at the same time recommending good thinking?
hendrik
in reply to Ferk • • •Ferk
in reply to hendrik • • •But that's exactly what I mean when I say recommend good software and recommend good thoughts.
Why do you assume I wanna "hide" problematic information? Did I say that? What I'm saying is don't hide the fact that good things are good. The good car will be a good car, and the manufacturer being problematic will be a problematic manufacturer.
Recommending the good car does not imply that you support the manufacturer, and denouncing the manufacturer does not imply that their cars are bad and not something we should recommend.
Do you do the same thing in reverse? Would you stop recommending good ideals if you find out that the people who came up with those ideals were actually bad people who did all kinds of shitty stuff?
What's the manufacturer of the device you are using right now?
If a notorious criminal created a cure for cancer, I'll sing praises to his amazing work, asking everyone to use it. But that dos not mean I approve of their crimes. It would be perfectly consistent with my praise of his work to, at the same time, ask for him to to be judged and sentenced accordingly for the crimes he committed..
The world is not black and white. People are not angels just because they have one good thought, nor do they become monsters that poison everything they touch if they have one wrong thought.
hendrik
in reply to Ferk • • •Yeah, seems we're on the same page, then. Because I occasionally get into that situation. People ask me stuff and I'll tell them, there is software XY or Linux distribution XY which does exactly what you're looking for, but it's owned by a company which is known for making problematic business decisions, so wouldn't recommend using it before giving it a good thought if that's going to impede with your application... Or I'll tell them about some software project and simultaneously say, I can't endorse it due to the political stance or behaviour of the devs/maintainers... Happened a few times to me with niche projects, Android distributions and Fediverse projects. I'll then not walk around and advertise for them, but instead only give a complete picture of the situation on request.
And I'll do it in other parts of my life as well... Try to boycott clothes from a particularly bad sweatshop, even if they fit and suit me well... Not buy tasty food if it's from Neste or the Coca Cola company... Though those are on a different level of "bad" as this one. Just saying toxic things on the internet isn't exactly the same as supporting child labor, slavery and stealing poor people's water supply.

in reply to apotheotic (she/her) • • •It's morally wrong to promote bad things, and morally good to promote good things.
Just because I admire the theories Isaac Newton came up with and I encourage others to learn about them does not mean I support everything Isaac Newton did, said or thought.
All of our society is built on the shoulders of giants who did a lot of "good" despite being, in general, "bad people".
apotheotic (she/her)
in reply to Ferk • • •Thats a tangibly different example though right? Isaac Newton isn't alive to benefit from your support so the moral downside is basically gone. If a modern genius was out here breaking new ground left and right in science but he was also a raging Nazi I certainly wouldn't be promoting him and I'd be very wary of using any of his breakthroughs
However, let's centre the conversation back on what it is: a flashy tiling window manager made by a bit of a knob
Ferk
in reply to apotheotic (she/her) • • •So the bad thing is the off chance that he would benefit?
Because that's a very different thing. Then this should not be about judging morals related to the thing they made, but executing punishment for a completely separate thing they did.
Then it's not a question of morals, it's a question of whether the approach you are taking to execute that punishment is one that other people agree with.
Ah, but will you still use them? will you promote his breakthroughs if they help people? what if supporting his scientific work leads to the cure for cancer?
Punish the nazi political work, promote the scientific work.
apotheotic (she/her)
in reply to Ferk • • •Its not "the bad thing" and its not an off chance, but sure let's roll with that for the sake of having some constructive discussion.
It isn't about executing punishment, but about the moral implications of my own actions. If, by supporting this theoretical Nazi science genius, I enable him to better perform Nazism, then I have been morally complicit in his Nazism. I think we can agree on that point? Its getting into the weeds a bit with the example, but it feels important to mention, that you could theoretically support this Nazi genius if sufficient measures are taken to ensure that it doesn't benefit his nazism, thus removing the negative moral outcome. But that starts to fall apart pretty badly in this particular example of the Nazi genius.
Will I use them? Perhaps! Its about the moral outcome, right? If I can sufficiently convince myself that the overall outcome is morally positive (at a very utilitarian level this could perhaps be "does his science save more people than his Nazism kills?"), then it may well be reasonable to support. Its hard to say specifically in this example because I don't know how lifesaving his research would be and how damaging his Nazism would be. However, the moral downside in the real case we are discussing is "more people are exposed to the creator's nonsense, he may spread his views further than he otherwise would have" and the moral upside is... I get to use a specific tiling window manager? Which has 0 moral weight so the balance is pretty indisputably an overall negative, though how negative is up in the air based on speculation on how much damage he can do.
I agree in a vacuum with "punish the Nazism and promote the science" but in reality it isn't that simple. Can one support jkr's harry potter stuff without supporting her transphobic rampage? Pretty decisively not. Let's say that harry potter is somehow a moral positive, and that you can in fact somehow cut off JKRs ability to spread hate about trans people, eliminating the negative, then maybe it becomes morally OK to support jkr?
I rambled a bit, but I hope I come across clearly enough.

in reply to apotheotic (she/her) • • •If you think anything that could benefit him is enabling that, then there's all sort of things that are complicit. Even the public social services and the State might be complicit, even people who pay taxes might be complicit.. international influence/opinion, the whole world, society would be complicit.
I'm a believer of honesty and direct punishment for direct precise problems. The more abstract the punishment, the most likely it is you'd end up with the innocent paying for the sins of the guilty.
I think people should be aware of the exact reasons why something is bad, as opposed to punishing a general abstraction without actually addressing the root of the problem. I've seen how this often results in people religiously believing something is good/bad based on sheep thinking, and this leads to situations that actually create more Nazis than what they destroy. An unjust punishment is just a badly patched up wound that will not really heal and instead extend to other parts. Have you considered this in your calculation of moral consequences?
apotheotic (she/her)
in reply to Ferk • • •I take into consideration as much as I can take into consideration. I can see the pathway directly from "I support the creator of hyprland" to "the creator of hyprland grows his platform" and I don't see any moral upside to supporting him, so this is a fairly easy calculation.
As you say, some issues are indeed more nuanced, and may have more complex balances when it comes to morality. I don't think "not promoting someone" is a punishment, it is a decision. I prefer rehabilitation over punishment, when it comes to individuals, where possible, but that's neither here nor there.
This truly has strayed so far into the abstract, however. We are talking about a guy who's nasty who makes a tiling window manager. The moral judgement can only be neutral or negative, theres basically no way that anyone could argue for a moral upside of hyprland, or at least I'd love to see someone try.
I don't support the TWM: explicitly neutral outcome, morally
I do support the TWM: either negative or neutral, morally, depending on what you determine the likely outcome of your support would be
Ferk
in reply to apotheotic (she/her) • • •It's more abstract than that, because this started with "recommending hyperland", not with "I support the creator of hyprland".
I assure you most users don't know (or care) about the creator of the software they use.

in reply to apotheotic (she/her) • • •Can you tell me the political affiliation of the creator of grep? I use that tool a lot.
I think it's impossible to know for sure what the political thinking of the people involved in everything that happens to have contributed to something in your life is. Some people are not even easy to discern.. some people are interpreted out of context, some people are just caught in drama.
I'd rather take advantage of their work, be thankful for it but without any sort of para-social intent, just thankful for the mathematical algorthms.
apotheotic (she/her)
in reply to Ferk • • •Not sure, but if you're interested to know I'm sure the information is out there 😀
Edit after your edit:
Its impossible to know everything perfectly, but you can know some things to some degree and take action based on what you do know. Some will choose to not bother, and that is their decision to make, but it is a decision.
Anyway I think we're talking around in circles at this point. Have a good one.

in reply to apotheotic (she/her) • • •Promoting a tool by itself is not morally wrong. It seems like some people have a very low opinion about other people. They think that others will not be able to differentiate between a tool and the morals of its makers.
I am sorry that I have a much higher opinion about adults.

in reply to Clocks [They/Them] • • •It is a quandary.
I would not support the project monetarily because I would not want to fund the primary persons behind it.
But Hyprland is FOSS is it not? Someone could fork the project to resolve the issue you are describing.
If this does not resolve the issue in your opinion (as you seem to have concerns with the "roots" of the project), and if we go with that logic, we should be just as opposed to using the modern "Jerry" gas can as it was a Nazi invention originally.
Both good and evil people invent things - whether the thing that is invented is itself reflective or could be considered supportive of the inventors ideals varies. Nazi's are terrible and I don't want to support them, but at the same time I think that it is good and useful to be able to safely and effectively transport gas if needed.
I don't know a tonne about Hyprland as a thing however, so my decision on whether or not to use it may also vary.

in reply to Clocks [They/Them] • • •Vaxry is not a very smart guy. He got a wrist slap by FDO saying don't do your toxic shit here. Then he followed it up by going postal on the FDO mailing list. Then he put up a blog post where he was like like "SJWs are coming for me".

The entire argument is that you can't make an exclusionary space for people (no definition of what that means) but you should be able to call them slurs. Who would want anything to do with him?
superkret
in reply to Clocks [They/Them] • • •Repeat after me:
"You do not support a project or its dev in any way by just using the software you got for free."
In fact, unless you donate, advertize or contribute to the project, you're a net drain on its resources.
Corngood
in reply to superkret • • •I don't disagree exactly, but I'd argue that you're contributing to the project even if you're just reporting bugs or helping others with it on e.g. Lemmy.
I could see avoiding all of that pragmatically in order to use some obscure, critical software, but not something you use everyday and for which there are reasonable alternatives.

in reply to Clocks [They/Them] • • •Sadly there are many people in the open source community who don't care, to them if the software is good then it doesn't matter who the artist is.
Specifically with the Linux community I feel like it's half queer people and half middle aged men and the other half often doesn't care and likely lean right wing or libertarian anyway.
That's my opinion at least.
Tons of people still use and recommend Proton even though its founder and owner is toxic and harmful to queer people as well.

in reply to Rachel • • •Have you tried to use only products made by nice guys or nice companies? It's impossible.
It's also a bit ironic to post this opinion on Lemmy, whose creators are also bigots.

in reply to pathief • • •your argument is a bit extreme, it doesn't need to only be software from nice folks, it just needs to not be software made by not nice folks
apart from sqlite, i think everything is replaceable with a bit of compromise
what things made by not nice folks are you locked into?
pathief
in reply to iltg • • •I agree with the sentiment of support nice folks, especially in the FOSS ecosystem.
What OS are you going to use on your Smartphone if you remove software from Google and Apple? What VR headset are you going to use? What telecom are you going to use? Are you only going to shop in local food markets? Lemmy's creators are also biggots, yet here we are...
I financially support projects and people I like, but I use whatever software I enjoy using. FOSS, closed source, made by a nice guy, bad guy. If I feel my experience is good I'll use that, if something better appears along the way I'll move on.

in reply to pathief • • •aosp, fdroid, no gservices
not into vr so can't say
sadly, not a good one. i wish i had a choice, but this isn't software
sort of? i get fresh stuff from actual markets when i can and when i go for groceries i avoid ultra processed stuff from big multinationals, making sure of the provenance and the maker of the stuff i get, supermarkets also sell stuff from local producers
eh, im still leeching off some other person hosting, im not going to host lemmy and im slowly making my own thing
also can you provide examples? i heard it multiple times, I'm not contesting it, just kinda want to see myself, like with vaxry, and not only trust second hand accusations
no absolutely fine i don't check all my software too, but when i hear a callout i dont hide behind "art and artist" mentality and move off the bigot's stuff
pathief
in reply to iltg • • •While aosp with microg is a step into the right direction, it's not Google free. Most android code is made by Google and streamed to aosp.
So you think people must only use software made by nice guys but you can use hardware, services, books, movies, etc. from whoever? What makes software so special?
You're not hosting a lemmy instance but here we adding content, and therefore value, to the platform. I don't host hyprland either, I am leeching off the entire devs for zero dollars. Does that make it okay now?
I give more importance to qualities like open source, safety, privacy and performance other than who supports trump or not.

in reply to Clocks [They/Them] • • •You probably don't care about my opinion, but one of the reason I don't really care about this is that I only have the "drama" second hand from very unreliable sources. There is the Vaxry's version of the story which cannot be trusted because that's conflict of interest. Then there is Drew, who according to a Distrotube video is quite a bizzare person, who really enjoys to stir the drama and write these extremely misleading "hitpieces" on famous FOSS people. The issue is that to me Distrotube is not a credible source regarding this either because he's got for me too schizo view of the world. He has a rifle collection, in case he has to fight for his country. (including a rifle, "that's good for children")
So it's just too foggy for me. Well I don't promote Hyprland because I don't care about my computer's "looks" and because according to some (I think) Void dev, Hyprland code is crap. But that's a different story. Anyways my point is that I can see why people can see it as not that bad.
edit: adding sources for the Drew, Distrotube and Void stuff, in that order.

in reply to Clocks [They/Them] • • •You call man a bigot and you make a drama publicly because you can't stand how he can have a different opinion or way of living than you, right? Guess that makes you... a bigot? 😉
I made myself a promise to donate to Hyprland and Vaxry every time I see bad press against him. And I just made another payment. He makes good software and this is something he should concentrate on and just like many others on this thread: I don't care if he has one opinion or the other. You don't like it? Just don't engage with him, his Discord or Hyprland, let the guy have his space.
Or make another bad press and make me donate again, I'll happily do that💪🏻

i don't think software is just software, why would this tech be exempt? pilot-less aircrafts is just tech, just like software, but we do remember that drones bomb people. supporting problematic developers is not "as bad" as building killing machines, but it's the same principle: looking the other way when it's convenient. we should aim to ostracize and isolate problematic devs, and it starts by not using their software, because doing so gives them clout and relevance

what counts as "smooth animations"?
if your message boils down to "something which looks really good to me and that has a discord i can go into and ask for help", you may have set the requirements tight enough to only include hyprland, but that's not a valid excuse in my opinion to avoid boycotting problematic developers

in reply to iltg • • •I agree they're restrictive and arbitrary reasons and they're also the preference of every single hyprland user has for chosing it. You have a different set of arbitrary reasons for setting your system up the way you like. It's called a "preference".
In order to fulfill this preference, is it ok for me to fork hyprland and call it something else? Or do I need to rewrite hyprland's functionality from scratch and pretend it was all my idea? Can I reference hyprland during the rewrite or does it need to be clean room? Should i make a fork available for people who disapprove of the hyprland devs? But what if I'm not a good enough person? Oof, just noticing, i forgot to check the ideologies of each maintainer of the thousands of packages in my system.
I think it's possible that the boycott idea makes more sense in a capitalist setting than a communist one. The reason we stop supporting JK Rowling or Chick-Fil-A is because being a customer directly translates to their success and thus the success of their ideology. But no one is making a profit from developing and maintaining a Linux package. In fact, typically the more people use your package, the more thankless work falls on you.
I'm simply interested in having control over my PC, and the FOSS community exists to exchange learnings and code to enable each other to do that. And like all of science throughout history, there are problematic people who contribute useful ideas, and I think we would be cutting off our own noses to reject them just because they come from people we otherwise disagree with.
