I've seen a lot of religious debate on here lately, so today's Low Quality Ad is for these Disappointed Jesus pins. I've never read the Bible, and I'm 99.9% sure that most people who quote Jesus haven't either.

Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.
Show content

Please boost for awareness.

Recently one of my friends posted an introduction post to the official Ubuntu forums.

https://web.archive.org/web/20250905060630/https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lukas-here-hello-to-all/66658
(original link: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lukas-here-hello-to-all/66658 )

Seems fine except for maybe a bit of bad grammar around the "I am also a furry" part right? Well turns out behind the scenes the post was edited to not say "I am queer" before mentioning being a furry, and they got in a lotta trouble with the mods. This led to them no longer feeling welcome on the Ubuntu discourse forums.

The reason given was that the word Queer is a sexual word, which is just patently untrue. Saying you're queer gives less info into your sex life than mentioning your wife/husband, and if that was banned it'd be fucking stupid. Of course by the responses of the mods, it is made clear that that's not the real reason, and instead they're making the decision because of politics.

In the next few posts I'll talk about these extremely problematic moderator responses.

Also fixed the wayback link for the update. Damn I gotta get better at using that site lmao.

Edit 1: made it more clear why I see canonical as having taken a far right stance on the issue, on top of the obvious argument that the stance of their moderators represents the stance of the company/project.

Update 2: things get better, or do they?

okay this is pissing me off
SNCF Gares & Connexions luggage tags are visually similar but completely different from the Voyageurs ones, from the total length, through the cutout placement, all the way down to the shape of the cutout

why

I love the phrase "bear with me" because it either means "be patient" or "the zoo heist was a success."

I'm looking at the Windows Update panel:

> "Windows Update is committed to helping reduce carbon emissions."

Are those reduced carbon emissions in the room with us?

Perhaps it's time to tap the chart again. Left-handed people were once seen as sinister (the word sinister, from Latin, originally meant "left" or "on the left side") so kids were forced to be right-handed. However, with advances in science it became clear that brains were hard-wired for handedness, and society began to accept it as normal. The number of left-handers rose dramatically, but plateaued at 12% in the 60s and has stayed steady since.

This is a post about trans and non-binary people.

Yes, there’s another phishing campaign contacting fediverse users to fill out a form to avoid being suspended or whatever. Stay calm and just report them and be sure to check the option to inform their home instance so the account gets suspended for everyone.

Also, please consider enabling moderated signups if you don’t already have them. I get it - signups dropped by >90% when I did it, but there’s very little capability for dealing with bad actors proactively once they have an account. I know it’s not a foolproof way to keep the scammers out, but it is an improvement.

Remember when you were a kid and you learned about Superman and thought it was totally ridiculous that Krypton was going to be destroyed but nobody did anything about it? I miss feeling that way.
