Thanks 🙌🏼 https://events.indieweb.org/tag/hwc-nottingham for all the events I'm running pre- and during #Hacktoberfest

https://heyguys.cc is a good resource

I am sorry to be that guy telling you this (due to the Arch user stereotype), but I run Arch at home as my daily driver, with Debian on the server

Yeah definitely fair! I know exactly what you mean - and I'm generally going for low hanging fruit 😅

I've had it fed back to me that sometimes the way I come across isn't great - so yeah definitely friendly nudge - but it someone keeps doing it after many attempts to educate them, it also kinda feels like they're actively deciding not to be more inclusive? It's a difficult one, but "I'm used to saying it" goes only so far before being lazy, ignorant, or actively harmful

I'm known at work for championing inclusive language, and I call it out regardless of how person saying it identifies. Regardless of how the folks in the group feel at the time, it continues people using it and feeling that its OK. Those people will then use it outside of that circle, and they will inevitably make someone feel unwelcome. I feel its one of those things that, although can be a pain to rewire our brains, does make a difference, and trying to move to a more inclusive place to be is a great end goal
