Just learned about heliboard. Thank you! Wrote this with that keyboard and glide enabled as the others have said. Loving it!

OpenSUSE has the best installation menu of any OSs ever made in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Really good! Reminds me a bit of Mandriva Linux installer's look and feel. Yes, I am as old as rocks.

Being anti-Semitic as a category should also include being anti-muslim. Semitic peoples include Arabs as well as Jews. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people

I started going to a lot of metal concerts. More than in my twenties, and will turn 40 next year.

What is your favourite 3rd party Lemmy client? in c/technology@lemmy.ml

Oh flutter is with dart, not Rust. I was just giving a bit of my profile to talk a bit about my interests / background.

Kotlin is cool, but let me know if you change your mind about flutter. Though it is backed by Google, it does seem like it is gaining some momentum also among the FOSS communities, and it has the added bonus that the app can then be deployed on Android and iOS (or even desktop / web).

If you ever decide to do that, sign me up for some dev time. I currently mainly work with Qt and C++, but want to learn eg. flutter. Know Rust, Go and Java and a few frameworks around there. Frontend I did some angular and react in the past. For now I'd be able to invest something like 10 hrs per week.

GitHub will no longer use the term 'master' as default branch because of negative association in c/technology@lemmy.ml
[–] falx@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 years ago

I concede to your second point, and I am starting to see why black/white-list can be a sensitive term and just trying to change the connotation like I suggested somewhere above is not tractable.

I still think that education is key. Not going outright and calling people racist, that is counterproductive I wholeheartedly agree. But instilling in them from a younger age the evil of racism instead.

As for the anecdote in your third bullet point: instead of renaming black/white-list terms to something else, what if we actually educate that shop owner about racism and why it is idiotic and evil to discriminate against a person because of their skin color?
