Proceeds to use open source tooling with numerous contributions from US-based software developers

How the fuck is banning people in certain countries for something they don’t have control over from contributing to small projects like this doing anything but shooting the FOSS ecosystem, which already has a severe shortage of developers, in the foot?

Personally I use a Guix template I made (Typst, LaTeX) which downloads necessary software/libraries and the LSP and pins the software versions, and I use the Helix text editor for editing. Not sure what the more common methods are. Also Typst’s package management is weird.

People who deliberately ignore struggles that others outside their immediate community experience, especially ones that they cause themselves, don’t deserve to be listened to

Also Hexbear and Lemmygrad were populated by r/chapotraphouse and r/GenZedong users respectively when those subreddits got banned, which happened before the main Reddit exodus that populated instances like .world

Cis but without the C or the S

Also Facebook Groups for obscure things, Facebook Marketplace, and even a lot of local political organizations primarily use Instagram

With meta on your resume you can easily find employment or freelance

And end up working for a company that’s just as shitty but worse pay, or finding less shit companies that don’t have the financial resources to employ more people

I use it for getting modded APKs
