Elderly California woman (Fran Itkoff), 90, FIRED from her volunteering position of 60 years at MS nonprofit because she 'did not understand pronouns' despite previously winning multiple awards
When first asked to use pronouns in her email signature, she explained: 'I was confused. I didn't know what it was & what it meant. So when I finally talked to [a staff rep] , I asked what it meant. And she said that meant they were all inclusive, which didn't make sense to me.'

I've been able to play with @YoSoyFreeman 's character controller for the first time - he's been working on it for weeks, and now I see what takes so long - this is the cleanest thing I've seen :D
The design of it, how all the systems connect, it's so elegant and so powerful! And somehow also solves all the problems that I have personally hit while working on my own character controllers.
I could have never done it this good myself!

Took me a bit of time to set up, but I feel much better now.
God knows I love (F)OSS, privacy and security.
My gratitude for #linux, #gnu and such also does not come short.
Where would we be without thousands, if not millions, of amazing people doing the good work and making this world a better place.
If you feel like you're one of these (even if you don't feel like but still have your part) know that your value lies beyond what you do and that I am grateful for your time and energy.

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
