To be crystal-clear: diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are core Fedora Project values.
@valhalla @jgys @LALegault Well yeah I'm a technical person so that's solved for me, but the problem is with that last part in that it's really not yet a solution for everybody. And if 95%+ people are mass surveilled, then effectively everyone is.
@jgys You're not alone, phone's are a privacy nightmare. I use a de-googlified Android phone (and sync to my own server using Nextcloud). For technical/convenience reasons, obviously not a good solution for everyone. But that doesn't change the fact that Apple is about the worst of the worst when it comes to abusing copyright/IP, collecting data on their users, using data against their users, etc.
@LALegault Apple is an *extremely* toxic company that abuses their users in many different ways, and in these times it's just going to get a lot worse.
@LALegault If you're using an iPhone, you already have much larger problems.
@ubuntourist He should've called Hilary, she ran her own e-mail server and never had (technical) problems
re: covid, fosdem
I doubt a mask would help much in such a small enclosed space, unless the wearer actually has a cough or sneezes?
@tofticles Nice, I'll start writing little sex novellas everyone in my code then!
This year I miss being at FOSDEM. There's so many discussions that I'd like to have with like minded people that are just so much easier in person. I hope everyone who made it out there has a great weekend!
@bagder Well written and you get the point across very concisely! I despise those scanners too, since they end up not being very useful. On Debian, those tools don't understand that fixes get backported to stable versions and show big scary warnings where there are no problems at all.
@dansup @flancian Just a protip, if you're not transphobic, then one of the last things you should say is "I'm not transphobic I have trans friends". Especially since it's possible to say something transphobic even if you didn't mean it, or even not having had a clue that something might have come across as transphobic to someone else, which is why it's usually a good idea to hear people out and find out what might have caused some hurt.

@dzu Nope, my physical monitors is obviously arranged the same now. Thanks GNOME!
Surely there's a better way to get the hot corner working on all my screens 😅
And after a lot of yak shaving and cleaning and looking for a serial mouse, I have a win98 setup up and running again. Nothing special, a 233mhz Pentium with 128MB ram and a S3 virge DX display card. I also rescued this mosaic software mouse pad from ending up in the trash earlier this year.
