    That’s your opinion, not a fact.
    And the issue with that is you’re only seeing it as two sides and a fence-sitter.
    Centrists form their own views and positions, independent of the parties on either side.

    There’s no forcing them to take a position, they already have one.
    And when they have to vote for/against legislation changes, they’ll side with whichever option aligns most closely with their views.

    US pseudo-centrism is right wing though, which might be what you’re confusing real centrism with.

    Getting everyone’s basic needs met is more of a centre-left ideology.
    Many centre-right parties believe in things like public healthcare, because it has a net-benefit to the economy.

    Centrists don’t sit in the middle of every issue or make an exact 50/50 compromise on everything. That’s a really poor strawman argument from someone who clearly doesn’t understand global politics.

    I guess you’re confused with people in the U.S who think having views somewhere in-between those of democrats and republicans makes you a centrist.
    That U.S-specific ‘centrism’ is really just right wing politics.


  • Guess I’ve been living under a rock or something because I had to look up what 1488 meant.
    I still don’t fully understand though… Is this something that a lot of people recognise as a nazi / white supremacist symbol, or is it more of a niche reference?

    Ah yes, because you absolutely must hate and dehumanise everyone who shares a different belief to you. You aren’t allowed to speak to or be friendly to anyone who has shared shitty views in the past, because how else could we possibly know that you don’t share 100% of their opinions?

    You’re free to limit your communication to only those who share your views, if that’s what you find comfortable. But there can be many mutually-benefical reasons to befriend those who you dislike.

    Anyway, I’m about done with this conversation, as I don’t believe either of us will come out of it with a different view.

    Feel free to get the last word in if that helps you sleep easier. Seeing that you replied to a comment that’s almost a week old, I wouldn’t be surprised if you do.

    It’s not a viral copyleft license, so you’re free to use the source code without giving anything back.

    This has pros and cons over something like GPL, but people like to circlejerk GPL and pretend it’s always the best option 100% of the time.
    For situations where you have to sign an NDA and are unable to release source code (eg; console game dev), MIT and BSD licensed projects are a godsend.

    Because most reviewers will still have subjective biases, and what some people perceive as a 10 might be a 5 to others, and vice versa.

    I personally try to avoid looking at ‘raw’ ratings when I’m trying to find new media.
    Full reviews are better, because they’re able to express more nuance, and I’m able to decide if the parts they liked/disliked are things I care about.

    Sure. Lets just ignore ladybird/serenity and the positive impact Andreas is making because he didn’t accept a commit that changed a pronoun for a system account on the operating system he wrote from a ‘he’ to a ‘they’.

    And lets ignore that it’s been changed since. People ‘never’ change, so lets fuck up their entire career and public image for life.

    Yeah no thanks.

    If you think that comment outweighs all the positive impacts Andreas is making, that’s your prerogative. I’m not interested in holding everyone up to such high expectations.

    If that makes me a simp in your eyes, so be it.

    If you read the commit, you would see it was referring to a built-in non-human account.
    In no way did he assume the gender of any people, so who cares if he referred to a built-in account of his operaring system as ‘he’ instead of ‘they’?
    A more accurate description would have been ‘it’.

    As somebody who also identifies as LGBT, I don’t want or need your permission to feel anything.
    I don’t feel guilty for not participating in the cancel culture of the internet.
