🤸♀️ Ada ⅗ 🤼♀️<p>No april fool's joke here but some actual feedback about yesterday's easter egg on the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://toot.aquilenet.fr/@yunohost" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>yunohost</span></a></span> progress screen within the webadmin panel for the <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/TDoV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TDoV</span></a> :100_heck: </p><p>Cis dude users complaining about the trans pride GIF replacing the usual moving circle, afraid their server got hacked :blob_hyperthink: <br>Poor guys.</p><p>Here's what the team replied:</p><p>> Regarding the comments along the lines of “is it really necessary to have politics involved in open-source projects?”, “can’t you be neutral?”, “what is this shit?”…<br>> <br>> Yes, it’s necessary. YunoHost seeks to promote and emancipate everyone with regard to the management of their digital services and the hosting of their data. We aim to offer an alternative to Big Tech. These very same companies, most of them based in the US, have for the most part advocated and financed the return to power of the right-wing over there, with an openly liberticidal, anti-humanist, lgbtqia+phobic agenda, and did not hesitate to implement equally debatable policies in their softwares/platforms. We are firmly opposed to this.<br>> <br>> Technology is not neutral, period. It is not a realm independent of physical reality. Many project did, do and will use their software/platform for political messages. Some altering your daily life in much pernicious way than a simple nyan cat on a loading screen during 1/365th of the year, indeed pushing for the very evil and controversial agenda of “not being an asshole to other human beings, especially minorities”: YunoHost is created by human beings, with their lives, their frailties, and their struggles. Other examples (in French) of this project’s positioning: 🇫🇷 Contre la nouvelle loi de surveillance (et les précédentes) and 📜 L'Union Européenne doit poursuivre le financement des logiciels libres!.<br>> <br>> (As a side note, if you’re interested in other ‘neutral’ aspect of the project, you may be glad to learn that we’re now trying to use gender-neutral terms in our documentation and user interface)</p><p>:100_yeet:<br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yunohost</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/TransDayOfVisiblity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisiblity</span></a></p>
