I can't speak to using "Latinx" or land acknowledgements, but myself and other non-cishet people I know appreciate the normalization of adding pronouns to names/bios by all kinds of people because it helps us feel a lot less othered. I hate being the only one in a Zoom call with my pronouns in my name.

That being said, I know cishet people more often than not do it to signal, but intentions aside, I think it's helpful and I only hope it becomes more common. I'd say about a quarter of my organization does it on Zoom, with almost all of us doing it on Mattermost. It's nice.

A real treat was listening to this on the Yamaha softsynth software that came with my IBM Aptiva.

Its nuanced and it really depends on what they're removing, why they're removing it, and how it will affect people in the end.

A corporation removing a site with the goal of stripping vulnerable women of their reproductive rights and and policing their bodily autonomy by reporting them to the state is something I support 110%.

HN is all about fighting institutions that are actively eroding our right to privacy until said institutions set their crosshairs on women (or other minority groups). It's tiring.

Graphene was a little too restrictive for my liking, personally. It also felt dated. Calyx has been a sweet spot between privacy and features.

Is Sailfish running on top of Android in this case? I'm a little confused on why Android version is relevant.

Yep! An Intel NUC running TrueNAS w/ a bunch of external HDDs (yes, I know the risks), an old laptop running Hassio (processing video frames through TensorFlow all day), and a router with FreshTomato. It's not perfect, but it was cheap and it gets the job done.

Running about 10-15 Docker containers on there, an instance of Windows 10 Pro (to RDP into because I don't want it anywhere near my dev machine), and two Minecraft servers.
