Experienced the June Easter Egg for the first time yesterday thought it was heartwarming. It inspired me to refresh my colors as a small observance to Pride month.
It took a few random rolls to find something with decent contrast while retaining the flag colors, and I still need to edit my neofetch config to match, but hereās my current output on Endeavour
For whatever reason would you want to start a flame war, @BendTheKnee ? Itās high time we learn to respect other peopleās personal choices as long as they pose no harm to other people, right?
nah. let him be nauseous. To know my existence causes that much suffering is catharsis in itself Iāll continue being gay after the nausea fit subsides, and can only hope the cycle perpetuates
Sounds like really sound advice. We should learn to be respectful of other peopleās choices - even if they disagree with you - as long as they pose no harm to other people, right?
I mean, you wouldnāt want to be caught and called out not doing the exact same thing thing you specifically called out someone else for not doing or anything. That wouldnāt look good on you, thatās for sure. . .
Just think about it for a minute, eh? No dogma please. Itās my greatest worry for the world, and itās so common most people donāt even realize itās happening.
Sorry mate, but being insulting, rude & disrespectful should not find a ācoverā under āfree speechā. Free speech can be deadly if there is no respect.
No hard feelings, I totally respect you (as long as you respect me, that is).
We donāt really know what he finds disgusting, people are making a lot of assumptions. Tbh I always thought the color design on that flag and a couple others like it is disgusting enough to warrant that reaction for some. Whoever designed this really had bad sense for colors. Maybe thereās some symbolic meaning going over my head but i just see colors that for me donāt work well together, itās like some of these damn things (including this one) were actually purposefully designed to get that kind of reaction out of people.
Maybe he is just disgusted by insertion of politics into a thing i mean a lot of people (me included) find it worthy of criticism that thereās pride month but no month for heterosexuals, itās a little similar to black history month aināt it? You know, the one morgan freeman really didnāt like, for legitimately good reasons.
But insertion of politics into the open source software sphere has become quite the huge problem imo, one program specifically designed for it is not an issue, itās the major projects that are using such politics as an excuse to exclude legitimately good devs from contributing, or just driving them away by principle because they donāt lean the same way politically as that projectās maintainers.
E.g. why do those people get a month but not those other people? Itās kinda dumb isnāt it? Well I sure think it is.
Criticizing the most heavily propagandized politics has somehow become synonymous with hate speech. Pretty crazy clown world.
But you know, hyfetch was apparently specifically made for people who like this stuff, i wouldnāt use it but i donāt really see a problem with it existing or anything, power to those who like it using what they like and all that. This too is what open source is all about, choice. I donāt know why people are just expected to like this by default, more than any other thing. I donāt like gnome and nobody calls that hate speech.
There is no real expectation of free speech here, as free speech is all about government intervention/punishment.
And I feel, as it is ok to use emoji to express you like something, people should not be offended by the pure expression that someone does not like something, by using a emoji.
But I much rather have no explanation what causes the dislike or what it extends to on a thread like this one.
Because āthose other peopleā, perhaps white, male, heterosexual, west European / north American have had the hegemony over political, economical, cultural and social life for centuries, hegemony over propaganda and controlling the narrative? Is it dumb that āthose other peopleā donāt get a month? Well, I sure think it isnāt. They have already the whole of the year.
Do they really? I disagree , in the modern day western world, as in right now, today, the greatest victims of racism are caucasians, the greatest victims of sexism are males.
People seem to be acting on concepts called āreverse racismā and āreverse sexismā, or just āreverse discriminationā. Itās basically just racism towards white people and sexism towards men. And this seems to be pretty much the leading political ideology in the majority of european union countries and in north america.
I donāt think there should be a white month or a heterosexual month, i also think there shouldnāt be a pride month for the same reason.
This nonsense only breeds more discrimination, always has and always will. Treating certain people as more special than other people is after all the definition of discrimination, is it not?
Pride should be reserved for something one accomplishes and not ones choice. There is to much pride if you ask me. Pride goes before the fall. Never forget Proverbs.
Fair enough to find something disgusting. I donāt like it when couples of any sexuality kiss in public, for instance. Does that mean I should exclaim to them āstop doing thisā or complain to the friend next to me about people that do it? Does it really hurt you that much that you would say this publicly?
I donāt really agree with OP either, honestly. I donāt believe thereās a need for this month anymore. As long as you arenāt a d*ckhead, you can be whatever sexuality you want in my book. Just donāt let it be your only personality trait. Anything more to dissect is up to you and whoever else wants to spend time discussing this. For me, itās a clear cut ādonāt be an annoying prick and youāre more than okayā.
Unfortunately, there is an unmistakable worldwide trend to turn this āthingā into a new religion. Itās nobodyās business what a personās disposition is and what they do in their bedroom at home. Why does it have to be brought out into the open like this? And exactly at this point:
And it doesnāt matter if you feel like a woman today and a streetcar or a fridge tomorrow!
Iām sure most of the white, male, heterosexual, European / north American, who see their hegemony being challenged by the minorities hitherto being oppressed and now being vocal in vindicating their rights agree with your statement.
Good to know, your stance on an imaginary opposition.
Even if the people in power were white, male, EU/NA. That does not mean that being white, male, EU/NA is sufficient for acquiring power and influence.
And about the heterosexual partā¦ I guess you mean to say āthose peopleā pretended to be heterosexual. We know (and people of the time knew) that many of them were not.
There is no good reason to have a pride month for anyone. But that said there is no reason to restrict a community to call a month that and celebrate, as long as they donāt feel entitled to any special treatment.
The OP did not demand anyone to participate, or even recognize pride month.
They just stated that they are happy about it and shared what they made out of that feeling.
Nothing wrong about that, and certainly no reason to start a big political issue about.
I agree with you. I donāt really care either what sexuality you are. Keep it to yourself and people close enough for you.
As for trans people, be whatever you want, but please donāt change your pronouns on a daily basis. Again, it all ties to not being an annoying prick.
And about the worldwide trend thing, I donāt know man. I canāt comment. I honestly donāt bother with it because it aināt my thing and just because corps and media push it doesnāt mean I canāt form my own opinion on it. As long as it is educated from some credible sources and it follows some common sensibilities, I doubt many would complain and the ones that do likely just consume and not think.
