people on doomworld have some incredibly hot takes like "well doom wasn't really open source because they didn't release the dos or windows source code". sorry what the fuck are you talking about?? it's the same game. the open source release was for linux and then people ported it back to dos and windows. the game was the same all the way through. what is going on here

there's like a compulsion to defend bethesda's hoarding of its source code and i do not know what people are afraid of. what's going to happen? someone might play doom for free? oh, no! there might be pressure to release the source code for more games?? what a disaster!

[lexyeevee]

everyone on doomworld would disintegrate if exposed to my full source code opinions (mandatory release 5 years after release for any company with at least 15 employees, and also you have to file a copy with the library of congress in case you go out of business, and also this applies to server software)

[foone]

Copypasting that as my own opinion on doomworld so I can take the fire instead of you.

(it's a good opinion. A decent start but I don't think it goes far enough)

Being autistic and also a Hyperpop/breakcore/ect enjoyer is really funny bc the sounds of being outside in the real world are often so tiring to me but if I wanna unwind and have a good time I will listen to the the most unnatural noises conjured up by evil computers and specifically designed to make your head explode. awesome

Kamala Harris’s Record on Trans Rights Isn’t “Mixed”.

Kamala Harris’s public record on trans rights began the moment she stepped into elected office in 2003 as San Francisco’s District…

good news for trans women: kamala harris is not, in fact, a vicious transmisogynist. the actions of her office and of the california department of corrections were wrongly attributed to her and her alone by people who wanted someone else to win, and when harris did become involved in the cases, she rewrote the entire policy for dealing with trans inmates so that they would get the care they need.

This is a good reminder, because I would not be surprised if people start trotting this nonsense out again

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

[apolloendymion]

some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.

[apolloendymion]

benefits of mg:

easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh")

ONE SYLLABLE!!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually

ends in a soft vowel sound, so it'll flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence)

fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter

distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)

wizard.

drawbacks:

there aren't any

yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.

Oh also I’ve had people say this comic is inaccurate because this is the kind of talk they’d be giving to the board and let me tell you, I was a literal temp worker at a warehouse and I sat through multiple meetings just like this.

[koboldfactory]

this continues to be increasingly relevant and it makes my blood boil

[koboldfactory]

I did contract work in IT before I quit to do freelance art full time so that bit was definitely included from personal experience haha. Glad to see it resonates

[southbridgefur]

I've been in industry for a little while now and this is how every single one of these meetings goes.

Sorry, I haven’t done my work, yeah, I’m in spoon jail. Yeah, I was in really bad spoon debt, and I stopped paying my spoon taxes. Yeah, I can’t do anything until I gather enough spoons to pay my spoon bail.

“Umm it will actually be very difficult for universities to divest from israel and arms manufacturers without tuition skyrocketing 🤓☝🏼” why is the financial stability of a college (and the economy at large, especially in the us) so reliant on what amounts to war profiteering to begin with? Why is that an inevitability that we’re supposed to accept?
