and at that point - if you're spending money at a company that is not ethical and is trying to pull the same ol' bullshit -

well -

you can do a hell of a lot more value for your money, instead of just pretending a company don't lie. 🤷

more telling to me is that @Purism has not said a peep about this on the public, forward-facing account for the project - not even a "hey, if you blocked us for this, very sorry! we've fixed it! please unblock us now!", which would be a very politic move.

instead there's just glowing praise and mentions of ethics... ethics...

isn't part of ethical behavior acknowledging when you fucked it up and apologising for it?

is rugsweeping for profit #purism ethics?

i don't know the ins and outs of open source software dev culture, or even dev culture at all

but i DO know that way too many people are shading big greedy companies for hurting people - especially minorities - by allowing harassment to continue, specifically because it makes that company more money .........while also giving #purism a pass for the same shit as a widdle eensy mistake whoopsiepoo.

do y'all really think a company built on avoiding these ethical issues would slip up by accident?

honestly, after taking a quick browse, everyone is letting #purism off the hook way too easily.

sure, they said they'll re-enable the report feature. but if they decided to remove that because of 'spam reasons',

a. they know about as much about keeping an online space safe and secure as a bodyguard who cheerfully doesn't know what a gun is but can totes guide you in the apocalyptic hellscape

b. they know, but reports could lead to banning their users and thus less $$

c. all of the above

i've never played a mgs game but honestly i think we all need to incorporate the ❗ emoji as a new piece of punctuation that is meant to be read like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P5qbcRAXVk

honestly the celebrities i would be most excited to meet

ruth goodman. lucy worsley.

"harp those are not really celebrities?" listen they were on tv close enough. "yes but they're both historians who do documentaries..." YEAH. REALLY REALLY GOOD DOCUMENTARIES.

honestly i may just decide it's time for a rewatch of the historical farm series

GOD that series is SO GOOD

honestly in general if people know of educational podcasts/youtube channels that aren't regrettable assholes, also totally let me know. even better if they're written with an attitude of light comedy or good cheer

basically Sawbones, But Not Medical History

let me know

i'm getting a little bit of mental cabin fever while being super ouchy and unable to do something but i'm ok with running information through my head and hoping shit sticks lol

(why i'm asking is that i know i could probably find many courses... being taught by white people as if they're teaching about dead civilizations. but i want to actually learn properly, not just be fed more bullshit.

i'm also honestly not opposed to a more casual/pop history sort of style because, well, spoonie brain is not up to grad school level discussion. it doesn't have to pander to me with a puppet show, but i'm just, uh, kinda stupid when pain meds are on board.)

henlo mastoverse

does anyone have some resources about indigenous history of the americas? specifically something like a podcast or recorded lectures that are free to listen to?

i'm white as hell so i don't want to step on any toes, but also... this is emphatically stuff i should know, and is a huge gap in my knowledge.

i'm disabled/often full of pain meds so i don't have the mettle to pay for and follow a proper course, but if anyone knows free resources, i'd super appreciate it.

it's 2019, thanks to snapchat, EVERYONE has a fursona

some people just don't want to admit it yet

snapchat animal filters : fursonas ::
boxed wine and 2 buck chuck : an expensive sommelier's favourite wine

i'm just sayin

yes it is scaley fursecution because it's all dogs/cats/foxes/pandas etc
