  • i agree, and maybe in a better world it wouldn’t be racist (it would still be glottophobic tho, but to what degree that is considered problematic depends tbf, “haha french sucks” jokes are glottophobia as well and that seems fine by most people)

    but we do not live in this better world where racial & colonial power structures are irrelevant, so making fun of Jamaican creole and Pidgin (as another commenter in this thread did…) is still fucking racist








  • it works for you because you got accustomed to it. cool! genuinely! but not everyone is a power user, not everyone will want to sift through documentation to find out how to do the thing they want that’s easy to do with word

    from the non-techy people i’ve spoken to who’ve used libreoffice, they all agree that it’s worse than ms office because it gets in the way more. it’s harder to do stuff, because it’s less intuitive to them.

    people in 3d modeling use blender. people in audio production use audacity. people in office work and schools, usually, do not use libreoffice, because if you can afford ms office it’s just better for them. maybe that will change with office now being ai-infested webviews held together with gum, javascript and ever increasing subscription prices… then again, that hasn’t slowed down adobe

    imo the upcoming audacity 4 is an incredible example of open-source ui redesign, and should be an inspiration to everyone. the ui is sleeker, faster, easier to use, and yet it’s still familiar to existing users! but you can do good stuff without recreating the whole ui from scratch like they did, of course





  • “well, by saying Palestinian children deserve to live, aren’t you saying israel is killing them? and, because as we all know, Jewish people and the state of israel are the same thing, you’re saying Jewish people are child killers!”

    this is the logic these people operate on. i don’t know if they truly believe that israel is representative of all Jewish people, i don’t even know if they believe pro-Palestinian people believe that, but it doesn’t matter. because pretending that any criticism of israel is antisemitic helps muddy the water, helps distracting from the genocide israel is doing, helps israel keep its support ever so slightly longer.

    the only people this rhetoric helps, besides obviously israel and its supporters, are actual antisemites, who now have an easier time than ever hiding behind the pro-Palestine movement. if someone points their antisemitism, thanks to zionists crying wolf, now you won’t know if it’s for real or not!

    putting Jewish people on the altar of this disgusting rhetoric, all to defend a terrorist state murdering civilians. if hell exists, i hope they and the mass murderers they support rot in it for eternity.
