That is genius!

Update:

LOL, someone reported me to, err, me... The first report I have ever had!

Seems I have to clarify.

All junk calls I get, are either not legal under PECR, or actually fraudulent. I am assuming this is the nature of this call. If not, then not so funny.

I have zero sympathy for someone that works for criminals. Arguing that the only job you can get is working for criminals does not justify it. Sorry. But that is my free speech opinion.

So I won't be suspending myself.

@revk I'm not sure you understand how much stress this person has put on a delocalized worker, who's already alienated in normal conditions, having to follow a route made by white collar workers. He may have a family to feed and he isn't the problem himself. He may have been fired, or at best he's lost an hour of paid labor while fearing losing his job, in great distress.

This is only funny for ignorant people, and there's arguably racism in that. Do better.

Maybe I can't read, but the topic here is not skin colour, nationality or race - not even close...
So, I don't see the racism issue

@Nangpa @oceane @revk When white people see racism everywhere, I sometimes wonder if it might actually be a reflection of their own attitudes.

@Nangpa @mansr @revk You definitely should try to write documents of an arbitrarily long format, for example with Markdown and the Zola static sites generator. Emacs provides a complete framework for this (Irreal and planet.emacslife.com are good entry points) but it's a mess to setup so if you were to choose this route, you would be feel free to ask me anytime for technical advice.

Short formats and especially on remote, shared databases that you can't export are both dispositives of power in Foucault's sense. These are red flags. You should get into blogging in a sane, safe context and then consider the questionable opportunity of getting into microblogging.

To answer to this ad hominem argument, of course I'm projecting; I know that as long as children with my profile (a neurodivergent white trans woman) won't be safe, nobody will, not even oppressors. I want to be part of the safety net I'm voting for.

Indeed, I know as a white person that PoC are more vulnerable and less prone to defend themselves aggressively from verbal aggressions. Whiteness includes tools to punish them for setting and enforcing boundaries – as do school bullying and adulthood. I've actively built the habbit of not reacting aggressively to PoC signaling boundaries or even misbehaving in the most harmless way, especially by considering how I would react with a white person.

I understand this is an ad hominem argument but this isn't based on any form of knowledge. You can't just jump on someone else's feelings as an excuse to tone police me. This would require at least some form of violence that might be culturally implied by what I say, and I'm sorry for this, I know I'm not careful enough about that, but that (as a form of violence) just isn't on my mind.
