i use they/he professionally (and on here for consistency) (my in-person pronouns are different) and let's be clear this is entirely because i want people to use they but don't want them to make a deal out of it if they don't want to for some reason (i work with a lot of very religious countries)
at some point someone at systemd should make their own initrd generator so everyone can stop fumbling in the dark

X: why doesn't this work?
dracut dev: you need to add the "force" option
X: ...it worked, but why
d: nobody knows. someone did it that way a long time ago and never wrote down why.

THEN FIX IT GODDAMN FUCKERS

6. Cherry-picking while communicating to leave out context.

In conclusion: they're incompetent, seemingly despise their own users, do not care about any context and are willing to be deceptive about moderation decisions.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bluesky has succeeded in doing the worst possible thing at every step:

1. Being a month late on moderation
2. Misunderstanding a post completely
3. Putting draconian measures on the author and the community (making posts inaccessible)
4. Not communicating
5. Eventually communicating with wrong info

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

god I hate to rain on peoples' parades but NZF haven't withdrawn their horrible transphobic bill -- the MP who proposed it (Jenny Marcroft) withdrew it but then a different NZF MP (David Wilson) immediately proposed an identical bill

Reminder!!

Bluesky has a pronoun labeler you should really use!

Only those who subscribe to this will see it so you should do that. Don't worry, that's all it does.
Instructions are in the bio/first post.

Wow it defaults to hiding quite a few things. Many probably for the best, but for now I'm switching most to warn (and I remain willing to see rude posts - I follow @dimsie.bsky.social after all)
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives.

I'm convinced there must be a lot more people we don't and won't know about because they don't do stupid shit like using their work computer within a highly monitored network to look up porn on google.

me, a they/any, changing my pronouns fifty times a second to restore beauty in the universe
I think everyone should have a micro explosive implanted behind their orbital socket and if you get someone's pronouns wrong it detonates blowing out the front half of your skull

This would achieve nothing and generally increase human misery across the board and I stand by it
