Die Ausgabe 109 der #datenschleuder (Interner Name: Die Feminismusschleuder) hat zu einem Mini-Austrittswellchen beim #ccc geführt. Lauter enttäuschte Männer, die zu wenig Technik bekommen, sich als "cis" beleidigt fühlen und das erste Mal die Unvereinbarkeitserklärung gelesen haben.

Having just read this, I'm saddened that this is still the state of alternative input devices on Linux. And the use of the phrase "accessibility maximalism" is utterly depressing. Of course we should want maximum accessibility. https://nocoffei.com/?p=451
After enough years in software, you learn that LGTM doesn't actually stand for "Looks Good To Me".
