Der Kampf für eine emanzipatorische Sprache ist nicht erfolgreich. Die Debatte ist zu akademisch und geht an den Menschen vorbei, um die es geht. http://www.taz.de/!6006317/

@tazgetroete Die "Erkenntnis, dass wir allesamt rassistisch oder sexistisch sozialisiert sind, bedarf großer emotionaler und intellektueller Ressourcen. Sie ist für Leute aus akademischen Milieus deutlich leichter als für DHL-Lieferantinnen."
Ihr checkt es einfach nicht, dass euch diese akademische Herablassung um die Ohren fliegt. Ihr glaubt immer noch die DHL-Lieferanten müssten euch eigentlich dankbar sein, dass ihr so gut für sie vorgedacht habt. Unfassbar.

@wahadeem @tazgetroete Die Prämisse des Artikels ist: Frauen lehnen mehrheitlich "geschlechtergerechte" Sprache ab und Migranten lehnen Political Correctness ab. Die Gründe sucht der Autor bei den Rechtspopulisten, dem fehlenden Intellekt der DHL-Lieferanten und in einer leicht falschen Taktik der Kulturkämpfer. Die Möglichkeit jedoch, dass diese Menschen vielleicht selbst am besten wissen, was sie wollen und brauchen, wird nie in Betracht gezogen. Das ist herablassend und bevormundend.

“She dies from never having experienced a love of her own volition.”

German writer Margarete Böhme was born in 1867.

She is best known for her controversial and highly successful novel, "Tagebuch einer Verlorenen", first published in 1905. It purportedly tells the true story of Thymian, a young woman forced by circumstance into a life of prostitution. A movie was made based on this book (Tabea, stehe auf! 1922).

, 19 Apr 1967, Katherine Switzer becomes the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon as a registered runner, despite the organiser physically trying to stop her.

She ran it again in 2017, 50 years later.

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@fedithom @CarveHerName
During her run, the race manager Jock Semple assaulted Switzer, trying to grab her bib number and thereby remove her from official competition. After knocking down Switzer's trainer and fellow runner, Arnie Briggs, when he tried to protect her, Semple was shoved to the ground by Switzer's boyfriend, Thomas Miller, who was running with her, and she completed the race.

@fedithom @CarveHerName It's also notable that she and Jock Semple eventually became close friends after he changed his mind in regard to women in sports.

@fedithom @CarveHerName
Switzer wasn't the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. She wasn't even the only woman in the 1967 run. Bobbi Gibb was in fact an hour faster than Switzer. And she had completed the same Marathon before. Gibb however ran as an unregistered runner without a number both times.

TIL: mpv plays youtube-videos "natively". Just invoke "mpv 'ht​tps​://​www.​youtube.com/watch?v=…'". nice.

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@nblr well it requires youtube-dl which at least with my mpv install was not included.

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@nblr can confirm. it's working after installing yt-dlp.

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@nblr There is a apparently also a protocol handler to open YT videos automatically in mpv: https://github.com/akiirui/mpv-handler
It requires an additional user-script to be invoked.

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@nblr but yeah, like I said, I already have Freetube and there's also a browser extension to auto-open videos with it. Altogether this seems a lot less hacky than the mpv solution and provides updating and more options for playback. Plus it allows avoiding youtube.com completely.

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@kubikpixel @nblr
Probably not easy since you don't have youtube-dl on your phone and no way to call mpv like that. It's a lot easier to install a player like NewPipe anyway.

@kubikpixel @nblr
If you still prefer MPV you can simply set NewPipe to use MPV as an external player in the NewPipe settings.

If you’ve been following me for a while here you most likely know that I think that Dark Mode Toggle Buttons should be a browser feature:

Let the user decide which color-scheme they want on a per-site basis and store that.

https://brm.us/dark-mode-override

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@bramus I prefer an OS toggle for dark mode. And the DarkReader browser extension to enforce my OS setting on all those websites that don't have dark mode styles. I don't want to set this site to dark and that one to light. Because my decision depends on ambient light in my room, not on any website.

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@bramus Yeah, I read that. But I'm coming to different conclusions: Darkmode toggles on websites are a mistake to begin with. They mainly serve to advertise: "We have a darkmode!"
But the switch should still happen on OS level, for the reasons I mentioned (ambience light as a deciding factor). BTW you give no reason why the toggle should not be in the OS but in the browser instead. The only reason I see is that OS manufacturers currently don't give darkmode toggle the prominence it deserves.

kolya,
@kolya@social.cologne avatar

@bramus So as I see it, you're trying to solve this in the browser, because you're only comparing to website toggles. Which are nonsense, I agree. And since you have some influence on the browser side but none on the OS side, you want to solve it in the browser. But it should be solved one level up imo by making the OS toggle more accessible.
