Two things can be true at the same time. Palestine is a horrible place for us queer folks, and Israel is committing atrocities against the Palestinian population.

May I offer my friends grumpy cat? Sparks more joy than USA politics.

Dear little gay people in my phone, please post more cats, less USA politics.

Let's reserve the word Tankie for actual Tankies. It's become meaningless if you call every communist that.

Android is running a Linux kernel, yes.

iOS is not, it's running apples version of BSD. Sort of related to Linux, which is where OPs misunderstanding probably comes from, but definitely not Linux.

No JavaScript or ads. (...) Prevents Wikipedia getting your IP address.

Wikipedia is light on JavaScript and has never had ads. You prevent Wikipedia from getting your IP address but instead reveal it to some random third party, combined with letting them know everything you look up.

What the hell is the point of this. All this does it confuse people and decrease privacy.

Wobei halt Drohungen etc. gegen eine Person eine deutlich höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit haben angezeigt zu werden als ein beschmiertes oder runtergerissenes Plakat.

Weiß nicht wie es bei euch in DE ist aber ein paar hundert vandalierte Plakate in einem halben Jahr klingt ein bissl wenig. Die kriegen wir in Wien in ein paar Wochen zusammen.

I know that "European address" is supposed to be a joke too, but it bothers me intensely that there are two different street names and no city mentioned.

It's complicated in German. Almost every noun being gendered brings up a bunch of issues unknown to the English speaking world, long before we get to the topic of non-binary folks.

Just imagine every job description, occupation and whatnot being gendered, with male being the default. In English this is rare nowadays, in German it's baked into the language. A doctor and a doctoress, a maypr and a mayoress, a student and a studentess, a cyclist and a cyclistess.

The feminist movement has been trying to find solutions for this for decades, they are fairly controversial among older conservative folks, and admittedly inelegant.

Concerning non-binary folks it gets even more complicated. Not only does referring to almost any description automatically infer a binary gender, we also don't have any option for unspecified pronouns other than "it", which is hugely dehumanizing. The equivalent of "they" is already used as a honorific.

Some people tried introducing neopronouns but they never took off. Most enbies I know simply chose the binary pronoun they are the least uncomfortable with and stick with that.

The average FOSS enthusiast never was the target market for Red Hat. Big corporations whose purchasing departments like expensive support contracts are the target market. And for those, not much changes, and even if it did, those places don't just switch to another distro on a whim.
