I can't speak to using "Latinx" or land acknowledgements, but myself and other non-cishet people I know appreciate the normalization of adding pronouns to names/bios by all kinds of people because it helps us feel a lot less othered. I hate being the only one in a Zoom call with my pronouns in my name.
That being said, I know cishet people more often than not do it to signal, but intentions aside, I think it's helpful and I only hope it becomes more common. I'd say about a quarter of my organization does it on Zoom, with almost all of us doing it on Mattermost. It's nice.
This exactly. I highly recommend the podcast Maintenance Phase to anyone interested in learning more. They cover a lot of that nuance and the science behind them. Leave your biases at the door and it's eye opening.
Workers sound great on paper, but in my experience, the developer experience is very much not there. Between cryptic error messages, seriously lacking docs, and fundamentally broken features, it definitely doesn't feel like a production ready project in its current state.
Its nuanced and it really depends on what they're removing, why they're removing it, and how it will affect people in the end.
A corporation removing a site with the goal of stripping vulnerable women of their reproductive rights and and policing their bodily autonomy by reporting them to the state is something I support 110%.
HN is all about fighting institutions that are actively eroding our right to privacy until said institutions set their crosshairs on women (or other minority groups). It's tiring.
Conversely, many of us would appreciate a list of companies who have solid values and aren't afraid to take a stand against oppressive institutions like the Texas government. I'd never use GoDaddy for many reasons, but good on them for not caving to the "free speech at any cost" crowd.
This! unbound (a local DNS server) is painfully easy to set up and one of those programs that just works. Performance has been solid too and it cooperates well with Pi-hole. There are privacy-concious DNS servers that aren't based in the US too, if you insist on not self-hosting.
