I don’t disagree, but in Spain similar stuff happened with Valencia’s floods. The common denominator is the far right.

I don’t really have “a point” with my comment, it’s just random thoughts.

More random thoughts: before all that the queer symbol was the pink triangle (yeah, it was quite gay-centered) or the letter lambda. The rainbow flag has its pros, as it’s more inclusive, but I guess its success is due to the business adoption, as it started to appear massively on the shops doors. I was (and am) torn between interpreting it as “you are safe here” (not long before we have been routinely avoiding any person with a shaved head for fear of our lifes) or as “we want your money”. I guess it really wasn’t that black or white.

I still don’t have a point. Apple’s dick move has somehow given me a bit of a flashback.

I remember when the businesses started to discover/coin “DINK” and Macintosh advertised its colourful iMac G3 in all the (respectable, of course) gay magazines that proliferated back then. Only a few lunatics opposed the pink dollar/euro/yourcurrencyhere.

Looks like we stopped being profitable.

Or that the potential profit of catering to the homophobes seems bigger.

Anyway, it was nice having the businesses giving back some “visibility” and “normalisation”, but you don’t let the capital be the sole guarantor of Human Rights.

Salty pretzel omg

Akshully that’s a caduceus, symbol of commerce. It’s often confused with the similar Asclepius’ staff, without wings and sometimes with a cup.

Edit. Agh, I answered the main post instead of a comment, again.

No worries, I was a bit whaaaaat with the doughnuts thing because I had never heard about that.

It was sponsored by a foundation for this very specific purpose, and when you get a domain you agree to use it for content in Catalan or about Catalan culture and language but a lot of people just don’t comply. It’s not a 2-letter TLD because Spain won’t let Catalonia have a country code.

I wish people at least pretended to care about Catalan language and culture when they bought a .cat domain.

Just yesterday I saw one on Lemmy but I don’t know if I will be able to find it again.

Found it! https://lemmy.ml/post/23671806

Years after leaving the German part of Switzerland I still get A!-tem!-los! in my head out of nowhere sometimes :(

Puerto Hurraco. Population 100. Everybody in Spain recognises its name because of a shooting that got burned into the collective mind.

Ah yes you are right. I don’t know what kind of brainfart got me.

I hope people start pronouncing it FISH awards!

Edit: my bad, fish would be goti.

FYI there are some apps on the F-Droid store that probably won’t have to protect any data from the authorities because it stays in your phone and is not sent anywhere to begin with.

The Divine Comedy to a high budget high quality movie.

ESL here, what would have been the more natural way?

Gen X ignored again, with which we are okay though.

There’s a page somewhere that, if you allow it to, opens hundreds of tabs in the background pointing to a bunch of lifestyle and commercial sites so your shadow profile ends up looking nothing like you. I will try to find it again.

Counterpoint: dictators that died in their beds because of course they couldn’t be prosecuted under their own regime and have them undergo fair trial. Bonus points if their victims are still alive so they can get some closure. Spain’s Franco comes to mind.
