@b0rkJulia Evans nit: I'm not sure 'nohup' is a builtin? All of bash, zsh and fish report "nohup is /usr/bin/nohup" in response to "type nohup". But perhaps it is in some other shell? That would be easy to believe.

Even more persnickety and perhaps too much detail: 'kill' is a builtin _as well_ as being an external command, because the builtin version can understand job-control specifications like %1 as well as plain pids.

@unattributed exactly.

I practiced myself in avoidance of the term, and found that to be refreshing and lending a different perspective.

"Users" carries an aspect of depersonalization, but also implies an ownership relationship that creeps into the developers thinking, and even where the noble ones say "I serve MY users" it has consequences to the entire dynamics around software dynamics, and how the solution deliverable is able to serve the needs of different stakeholder groups.

Social experience design focusses on needs-based development and starts to consider problem statements first for all identified stakeholders in the solution delivery process.

For fediverse I use on occasion, the residents of the fedi universe.

Note that once you are conditioned to avoid the term "User" after a full career of addictive use of the word in that dev context, you start to notice how weird and awkward it really is.

You don't notice that while still addicted to your daily dose of saying "user" in broad generalization and technical abstraction. Devs think it is practical to use the word, pragmatic. But it is not. It is a technical word, and the use is similar to when a dev says "JSON" for instance. It is depersonalized, and that depersonalization seeps deep into the codebase over time. It is a word that anchors devs in the technosphere and keeps them there.

It occurs to me that there are other voices we should be listening to that aren't European or American in our internet spaces.

So Fediverse who else should we be reading when we worry about Internet Freedom?

About the centralisation dangers and censorship on the internet?

Who are we drowning out?

EDIT: :BoostOK:

Like seriously, if you have a suggestion please reply. I'm enthusiastically asking.

Atomic agency head says no proof of Iran weapons programme

The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog says inspectors have not found evidence of a coordinated Iranian programme to build nuclear weapons despite Israeli and US claims.

International Atomic Energy Agency said that the agency had not identified “elements of a systematic and structured programme to manufacture nuclear weapons” in Iran.

I'm reluctant to verify my identity or age for any online services

Photo of me, a white man with a short dark beard, and dark hair, smiling at the camera, while sitting in front of a vintage terminal with green text on the screen.

I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age

Identity verification and age verification is an increasinly common policy conversation at the moment, in numerous countries.

I’m making this post because I don’t what else to do.

I’m looking for James Mast, a son of Moses Mast (my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away). If you are James or you know how to get in touch with him, please contact me (jmb.mx/contact) , as I want to make sure James can attend the memorial service (even if it has to be remote) but also for some other important issues.

FYI, James was last known to be in Cornwall, Ontario (see cbc.ca/news/canada/sixties-sco ) , but I haven’t had any luck tracking him down.

Looking for James Mast – JMB.mx

중동 석유 줄고 호르무즈 봉쇄되면 한국과 일본이 가장 타격을 입을 거라, 환율이 튀는 건 이상하지는 않지. 이게 길어지면 진짜 문제...지만 우리가 할 수 있는 일이 없다. 😇

🍝 친구 여러분, 우리는 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님께서 주신 이 날의 끝맺음에 와 있으니 겸손하게 우리 죄를 반성합시다.

"2. 제게 맡겨진 하루를 충실히 살 수 있도록 도와주심에 감사드립니다."

😋 전능하신 스파게티 괴물과 친구들에게 고백하오니 생각과 말과 행위로 죄를 많이 지었으며 자주 의무를 소홀히 하였나이다.
제 탓이요. 제 탓이요. 저의 큰 탓이옵니다.
우리 죄를 용서하시고, 주님 안에서 새로워지게 하소서.
라-멘 🍜

🍝 전능하시고 자비로우신 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님,
당신의 모든 죄를 용서하시고 사면하시며, 진정한 회개와 삶의 교정을 허락하시고, 당신 성면(the Holy Noodle)의 은총과 위로를 베푸소서.
라-멘 🍜
