Comment by @insanecuckooman8342
on a 2 year 8 month old video about how toxic and unwelcoming Stack Overflow is to new users asking questions about something they are trying to learn:

"no wonder they banned chatgpt, because chatgpt actually tries to answer your questions instead of making fun of you, which makes them look bad."

This is middle aged man yaoi (NOT old man yaoi, they're only 40 here. And only 50 in s14.. they gotta be 55+ and getting AARP benefits to be oold #gatekeeping) BUT this too is yuri to me.

I'm not joking. Gal pals can hold hands and hug and kiss and maybe even go on dates when they're kids. But they are expected to grow out of showing affection for their friends once they're outta high school and have to get hetero married. You can call them your "girl friends" but not your "girlfriend" in this joker society....

SIGH Hank used to be a lot more openly emotional 🥺 I love seeing the life stages of a caterpillar to butterfly!!! I LOVE YAOI!!!

Also name orders:

Dale->Boomhauer->Bill->Hank

Hank is the mom friend and the womb friend AND also the one least willing to make yaoi 😀 yayyy for stoic ukes

""So, if coding as such is insubstantial to the extent that, much like writing, it only becomes relevant in the context of other things, what the hell is "tech"? And why do "tech" and "the tech industry" even things that we have to define and talk about in the first instance?" - @iris_meredith

@mattblaze I'm of the belief that all these BlueSky refugees who think they can come to Mastodon and "change the narrative" need to bring us all cookies and candy bars before we let them in. I'll take chocolate chip, but macadamia nut cookies are fine, too. #fedsplaining #gatekeeping #nomnomnom

Meinungs-Blabla: Strategisches Joghurt [ein Vorschlag]

Stellt euch vor, ein Joghurthersteller bringt eine neue Geschmacksrichtung auf den Markt. Sie heißt 'Beerenswirl' (und ist vielleicht gar nicht soooo neu, man hat bloß mehr Fructose reingekippt, die Geschmacksverstärker aufgedreht und einen neuen Namen eingeführt). Sie ist dermaßen der Brüller, dass Hersteller weltweit sie kopieren und sogar Leute jetzt Joghurt essen, die das Zeug vorher nicht mal probiert hätten. Die Joghurtregale verändern sich: 'Beerenswirl' nimmt dort jetzt Platz […]

Meinungs-Blabla zur andauernden Romantasy-Debatte - von jemandem, dier keine Romantasy liest. Aber mit Joghurt.

#Gatekeeping. And setting up hoops to jump through to get your shots that you need. Uh huh. This affects people with low income, no or under insurance, no transportation? no dr (including areas with dr shortages, raises costs to #vaccinate people etc.

Is there such a hybrid inverter beast on the market? But, then, that’s the other issues isn’t it. Manufacturers design their products to have 1) a short lifespan, 2) ensure ongoing costs, 3) can’t be repaired by anyone but them, if at all, and 4) make sure they keep you chained to their brands, and any other ‘gatekeeping’ tricks they can think of.

Interesting times we live in…

@jackpearse Yay! let the #gatekeeping begin!

Keeping those out who oppose the idea? Sure.

Trying to define the _only real solarpunk_ and antagonising even those with similar ideals? #Yhgtbfkm.

In a shocking revelation that will surprise precisely no one, open-source maintainers are advised to say "no" 🙅‍♂️ to good ideas because #stewardship means squashing enthusiasm. Who knew #gatekeeping could be so enlightening? 🌟🎉

The responsibility for faulty software in microsoft products (as in Apple products — but that’s another matter) lies with its products development all the way down from the manager’s desk to the code monkey working on a call function. This is not to disparage all software developers because all of the good one will readily acknowledge that their industry is not replete with excellent coders (the reasons vary and are multitudes). It’s no different from any other ‘production’ runs, whether kitchen appliance, vehicles or aircrafts. The difference is microsoft is so big it doesn’t give a fig about its ‘captured’ market.

YOU HAVE ENTERED THE TINGLEVERSE. THIS IS A NO GATEKEEPING ZONE

If we don't promote an opensource ecosystem, soon our phones will turn into a digital version of New York's Times Square.

Sent a nicebutfirmgram to the guy in #CollectiveConcerts about the #gatekeeping of local stages #LiveMusic to ownership of a Google or Apple spyphone by their exclusive use of the #DICE app. Collective Arts people had finished up a meeting at Blood Brothers, I was hanging out, so seemed like a decent time to get the right contacts. Hope it doesn't go straight in the circular file. #Toronto

Artists are often the worst gatekeepers, and I’m tired of it. #creativity #art #gatekeeping #anishkapoor

Since hope offends, let the fabric fray. Mention your truth — or keep quiet and let them fill in the blanks.

Ah, the futuristic utopia where artificial intelligence excels at one thing: #gatekeeping #access to basic #web pages! 🤖🔐 Meanwhile, "AI" is supposedly picking grant winners, but only if you can first navigate the complex puzzle of #JavaScript and #cookies. 🍪 Because nothing screams technological advancement like a modern-day #CAPTCHA #challenge. 😜
