    So, I work at GitHub and I’m doing some stuff with our docs. I’m looking to learn more about how we can make them better for developers. If you’ve used GitHub and are familiar with the docs, I’d love to chat.

    Having a flight booked 2 weeks ahead during this time means 2 weeks of waking up every morning with a panic attack wondering if my flight will be cancelled, and whether I can finally go home to my partner and my cat.

    Batman is no better than Elon Musk. They're both just bored men with way too much money and nothing to do.

    Wow I had no idea it’s this bad. This essentially makes Google Translate unusable for Taiwanese people. While zh-TW is the lang code, these phrases are translated to words used in China, which can have very different meanings in Taiwan. What’s up with this, ?

    Many people are fighting against - When translating English into Traditional Chinese (used by HK and TW), GT relies more on the term used in simplified C. E.g. President Tsai was t. to 主席(chairman), potato be 土豆 in PRC but 土豆 is peanut in TW

    !!! I do wonder how we can call out toxic behaviours without encouraging dogpiling, though. 🤔

    I hate to be a party pooper and be like “i know this is entertaining to engage with but dogpiling on people is actually really cruel and doing it under the guise of social justice is even crueler and undermines the actual issues you supposedly care about” but that’s how I feel

    I'm seeing ppl discuss "Cho Chang" as a Chinese name again and why it is bad, I just want to say: please refrain from absolute statements about How Chinese Names Work, because there are indeed plenty of names that fall outside the often stated norm.

    Hey maybe "let's solve *-ist language with a linter" isn't the best idea after all.

    Screenshot of a text file with the content "As an Asian American queer lesbian woman of color, I say: fuck white supremacy" The words Asian, American, queer, lesbian, woman, color, and white are highlighted in yellow. The word fuck is highlighted in red.
