While at first this seemed like a promising response and action, it soon became clear to me this movement is NOT the way to effectively challenge the patriarchy.

Have cancelled the arcane shebang as following the instructions, which are meant to be very beginner friendly and optimised for my new version of #LinuxMint, has input of xed admin:///etc/default/grub getting "Could not open the file admin:///etc/default/grub.
xed cannot handle admin: locations."
@!** I hate computing.
This stuff is just so very unfriendly to those without the knowledge.
#Exclusionary
This sort of stuff if far to common across consumer computing.
#US files #antitrust suit against #Apple
"The 88-page lawsuit, filed in US federal court in Newark, New Jersey, said it was focused on โfreeing #smartphone markets from Appleโs #anticompetitive and #exclusionary conduct and restoring #competitive to lower smartphone prices for #consumers, reducing fees for #developers, and preserving #innovation for the futureโ.. Apple has already been subject to antitrust investigations & orders in #Europe, #Japan and #Korea"

#Apple is perceived as purveyor of proprietary tech. That #perception carries on with #iPhone and #AppStore.
There was a time Apple couldn't get shelf space in physical stores for shrink-wrapped software. They pioneered the AppStore concept and built into it ways to yank misbehaving software/devs. Perception is that Apple and AppStore are #exclusionary and #predatory. I see it as a way to mitigate #security #risks and minimize threats that once pushed it to near death

eicker.news #technews ยปWhy did the #TwitterMigration #fail? #Decentralisation is not a selling point for 99% of people. Decentralisation makes the #userexperience worse. In no small part, #Mastodonโs culture is #exclusionary.ยซ https://blog.bloonface.com/2023/06/12/why-did-the-twittermigration-fail/
I can't get normal people to join the #Fediverse, and I have to #rant about it.
When #Twitter fell, the Fediverse essentially was #Mastodon, but Mastodon then had a repelling #onboarding, virtually no #discoverability, no #unique selling point, a content warning #harassment culture, and a terrible user experience due to that repulsive #federation concept and some horrible apps, plus a freakingly nerdish #exclusionary community.
And when #Reddit fell, so many other projects were on the edge of adopting #ActivityPub that the time when people associated the Fediverse with Mastodon was already about to be over for good. And that made it even worse. The #userexperience became a total crap, and the #servers were all bullshit software and #adminhell, and there was nothing left that the upcoming #Meta engagement could destroy. That's where we're now.
In https://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-platforms-cory-doctorow we all read about the "#enshittification" of #Amazon, #Facebook, #Google, #TikTok, #Instagram, and I absolutely agree. Those platforms are "terminally enshittified". But the claim that the Fediverse as it is now could become an alternative to that is absolutely ridiculous.
Maybe some normal people eventually will join the Fediverse whatever that will mean. But then we'll have crap software, admin hell and enshittification. And we most certainly won't remember Mastodon.
As I was saying, this is just a rant. And I'm in the Fediverse, because I'm not normal people. Nobody wants normal people. And there are people that still use Facebook or even Twitter. That's not normal, either. That's pure #perversion. Maybe there are no normal people. Or maybe we are the normal people, after all.
But normal or not. The Fediverse has to substantially change to become an actual option for everyone. But I think itโs about to do just that. End of rant.

I see this #ungrading movement in higher Ed and I'm very curious and oddly unsettled. Not because I think it's coddling, grading is necessarily #exclusionary and produces immense stress in students, myself included.
But I do think grading is a metric that should gouge mastery, not learning. A C student who struggles through the class learns far more than the A student who stayed back a year or transferred in but the credits didn't count (3 credit to 4).
