The guy is German, and the German language traditionally uses generic masculine pronouns, although that has become a big political issue in the past years. Some new gender-neutral forms have developed, but some of them have even been banned by the “center”-right-wing clowns in two state governments, and it’s all a bit of a mess. The guy probably thoght “they” in English is a similarly experimental concept, and while it’s still dumb and he should just try to be as inclusive as possible, it’s probably not a matter of him purposefully excluding women from the documentation.

Are people here reading the whole mastodon thread?

it is 200% okay to bully them into submission

Sounds rather toxic, and also counterproductive.

I read it like russia sabotaged the PMs own arson attempt

Why would this little bash script that does nothing extraordinary need constant updates? Some pieces of software might just be complete as they are.

No technology inherently benefits poor or rich people. If this is used commercially, it will cause ecological harm, because the people using it make no money from caring about ecological impact.

Also I’m mainly annoyed at the idea that more precise genetical engineering = less danger.

Sure, let’s release organisms with precisely engineered advantages into our ecosystems, nothing could go wrong.

The problem is precisely that nobody has an interest in mislabeling animal product alternatives, but these policies create the impression that the problem they claim to solve is real. This is nothing but useless bureaucracy and a PR stunt for the animal product industry, disguised as consumer protection.

I agree that manjaro is shit, but “your distro is shit” is not helpful advice for someone who wants to get their graphical session back.

You can also check /var/log/pacman.log for the packages you installed, then pacman -Ql the packages to list what files they might have changed

Classic, never fix anything, just change to <my preferred distro>, you wouldnt have experienced any problems, ever

Have you checked the log files under /var/log/xorg.0…log?

If you want to get your graphical session back quickly, maybe try setting up GNOME with wayland (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME#Wayland_sessions)

The thing that’s wrong here is that people use/trust a proprietary web service as if it was a part of public infrastructure.

Discord being proprietary should be reason enough to try to replace it

I switched to Nixos after reading a lot about it and eventually switched back to arch because I didn’t like how hacky everything felt. On the surface it seems really clean because of the central configuration file and the reproducible nature of the whole thing, but in the rare case something doesn’t go as planned, it’s hard to know how to do anything about it. Basically everything that would have been a configuration issue for you to fix, is now a bug. Also, I found no easy way to install software that isn’t in nixpkgs (which is rare, but happens).
