"nice things" you mean upholding the harm of the status quo by not criticizing it
- mrngld 2mo agoBut do people look at installing a formulae in brew and wonder "what's their position on Uyghur oppression in Western China?" Like, wow, jxl is pretty neat, but they don't have a position on Palestine so I don't know if I should leverage the JPEG XL format? Insanity. IMO. Keep that stuff at home.
- jraph 2mo agoWell if I had to install something and knew their authors were in favor of genocides, I would look elsewhere. > they don't have a position on Palestine so I don't know if I should leverage the JPEG XL format? This is a strawman. You go from "they are in favor of something horrible, should I use them?" to "they haven't expressed a position on stuff, should I use them?".
- throwayay4929 2mo agoSo youre proposing that everyone should always be criticizing every unjust thing in the world or else they're upholding the status quo? By that silly logic I guess codeberg is supporting the uyghur genocide because they don't mention it.
- jraph 2mo agoUntil proven otherwise, Codeberg's operations have nothing to do with the uyghur genocide though.
- throwayay4929 2mo agoThere's nothing to prove when you posit your responsibility is limitless. Codeberg is in Germany yet I don't see them taking a stance in the Russian war in Ukraine, which they helped finance by building their economy on cheap Russian oil and gas. I guess by ops logic that means codeberg is in favor of Russian aggression.
- inigyou 2mo agoCould be. Why not ask them and find out? Or upload a project to help the Russian war and see if they take it down?
- jraph 2mo agoAgain, Codeberg is not involved in anything related to Russian war in Ukraine, and is not responsible for Germany building their economy on cheap Russian oil and gas, so they could not possibly be assumed to be in favor of Russian agression unless they made a statement towards this. Yet, > I don't see them taking a stance in the Russian war in Ukraine that's because you didn't bother to check, you just assumed they didn't. https://blog.codeberg.org/one-year-into-the-war-your-help-is-still-needed.html https://blog.codeberg.org/one-year-into-the-war-your-help-is... > I guess by ops logic I don't think so. Them being involved or not in the thing makes all the difference.
- ngcazz 2mo agoNo, I mean that voicing opinions in specialist spaces is rarely seen as bothersome when they uphold the status quo, but the minute they don't they're "making it political" Edit: casual sinophobia BTW
- kkkdkxbxb 2mo agoRather using self-hosted Gitea, software developed by a for-profit Chinese company, is actually supporting the uyghur genocide. Shame on you.
