If people could stop centering their entire lives around a mediocre piece of entertainment and letting themselves being spoonfed art in the form of capitalist “Franchises”, maybe people like Rowling wouldnt get this much undeserved attention.

The guy is German, and the German language traditionally uses generic masculine pronouns, although that has become a big political issue in the past years. Some new gender-neutral forms have developed, but some of them have even been banned by the “center”-right-wing clowns in two state governments, and it’s all a bit of a mess. The guy probably thoght “they” in English is a similarly experimental concept, and while it’s still dumb and he should just try to be as inclusive as possible, it’s probably not a matter of him purposefully excluding women from the documentation.
The best part is the guy telling his viewers to not be creative with their music but make exactly what people want to hear. Really shows how people are just bullshitting art, and the bullshit generator is exactly the right tool for that.
Are people here reading the whole mastodon thread?
it is 200% okay to bully them into submission
Sounds rather toxic, and also counterproductive.

Garbage take. Just fill it into a glass jar at home. Nobody cares about the 0.03g of flour lost leaking out during transport.
Why would this little bash script that does nothing extraordinary need constant updates? Some pieces of software might just be complete as they are.
No technology inherently benefits poor or rich people. If this is used commercially, it will cause ecological harm, because the people using it make no money from caring about ecological impact.
Also I’m mainly annoyed at the idea that more precise genetical engineering = less danger.
Sure, let’s release organisms with precisely engineered advantages into our ecosystems, nothing could go wrong.
The problem is precisely that nobody has an interest in mislabeling animal product alternatives, but these policies create the impression that the problem they claim to solve is real. This is nothing but useless bureaucracy and a PR stunt for the animal product industry, disguised as consumer protection.
I agree that manjaro is shit, but “your distro is shit” is not helpful advice for someone who wants to get their graphical session back.
You can also check /var/log/pacman.log for the packages you installed, then pacman -Ql the packages to list what files they might have changed
Classic, never fix anything, just change to <my preferred distro>, you wouldnt have experienced any problems, ever
Have you checked the log files under /var/log/xorg.0…log?

If you want to get your graphical session back quickly, maybe try setting up GNOME with wayland (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME#Wayland_sessions)
Translation (trying to conserve the odd wording):
Rainbows prove that there is a dome located above us.
For a rainbow to appear, one needs something that can reflect light. A dome can do precisely that. If you try to create a rainbow, without something reflective being near, the rainbow won’t be displayed.
“Everyone knew it was impossible. But then, a fool who didn’t know came along. And afterwards he also knew.”
Maybe I wasn’t clear, I don’t think calling out Rowling’s shitty views is part of the problem. What I was trying to point at was that fandoms are just a means of marketing and people are too uncritical about how capitalism interferes with art. People are getting steered towards “investing” time and attention into something that isn’t really worth it, and the author, unable to follow up the success because she really isn’t that talented, instead clamps on the attention by putting out edgy political statements.
