    If the existence is a terroristic act how do you call farmers who breed these creatures on purpose? I guess the new ‘vegans’ could then eat the very last generation of terroristic animals and then everyone needs to go ‘vegetabler’. I guess that doesn’t sound too bad to those that are vegetabler on purpose. ;)





  • Always appreciate any work spent on any FOSS stuff out there but currently I’m a bit afraid that Gecko disappears into unimportance. So I’d prefer more contributions towards that one project rather than opening new ones.

    The issue with browser engines is that it always requires work from two directions. The browser engine must be optimized to render websites as good as possible. And websites must be optimized to be rendered by all the different browser engines.

    And (almost) no one is willing to do the latter for engines with a <1% market share. Already now, more and more commercial and non-commercial websites are only working properly with Chrome or its derivates.










  • Ich finde immer wieder verrückt, wie Leute angesichts steigender Lebensmittelpreise gegen den Mindestlohn stänkern. Steigende Löhne - gerade am unteren Ende - sorgen ja eben gerade dafür, dass sich auch Geringverdiener noch (in diesem Fall) Döner leisten können. Ja, absolut wird der Dönerpreis durch Mindestlohn ggf. erst mal etwas teurer. Relativ wird es aber für den (häufig) Mindestlöhner, der hinter der Theke steht günstiger, da der Lohn stärker ansteigt als der Preis. Umverteilung zugunsten der Schwächeren (Mindestlöhner, Sozialhilfeempfänger, o.ä.) ist aus meiner Sicht gerade in Hinblick auf Grundbedürfnisse (Nahrung, Miete, Kleidung etc.) immer zu begrüßen.


  • As a ‘last resort’ if you don’t find any technical tasks in the projects you’d like to contribute to, there’s also plenty of other ways to help:

    • Provide new translations into foreign languages
    • Create detailed bug reports
    • Do in-depth tests of new beta versions or nightly builds
    • Provide a download mirror for the software or seed it via torrent
    • Donate money to the core maintainers
    • Improve the documentation
    • Create (video) tutorials to improve the start for other users and make the software known to a broader audience
    • Register in forums and help other users with their issues

    Or simply ask the maintainers how you might contribute in a meaningful way. I’m sure they’ll appreciate your offer!


  • The study differentiates between male and female only and purely based on physical features such as eye brows, mustache etc.

    I agree you can’t see one’s gender but I would say for the study this can be ignored. If you want to measure a bias (‘women code better/worse than men’), it only matters what people believe to see. So if a person looks rather male than female for a majority of GitHub users, it can be counted as male in the statistics. Even if they have the opposite sex, are non-binary or indentify as something else, it shouldn’t impact one’s bias.
