From the same wiki:

> Despite the increase in awareness, use of the term to describe oneself has not greatly increased over time.[4] As of 2018, use of the term Latinx was limited nearly exclusively to the United States.[29] Manuel Vargas writes that people from Latin America ordinarily would not think of themselves using the term unless they reside in the United States.[29]

Maybe it didn't technically originate in privileged English speakers but it certainly seems to have arisen in popularity among them.

As someone who lives in a 99% hispanic region in the US, I've never heard anyone use this term to identify themselves. We're right on the border and that sort of thing seems to mainly happen in larger cities north of here.

The true elephant in the room is that this guy gave us freaking JavaScript!

I don't think that is necessarily true. Adding friction to how easy it is to use those apps has helped me.

I'm sure being buddies helps, but people are excited about it, and it is exciting being part of something people are excited about.

The original commentor mentioned the donations were ideologically motivated. I just don't think that is the case. I think people are excited about something that doesn't really have any ideological attachments to it and is just focusing on making something cool. My anecdotal observation of the internet in general and day to day life tells me people are burnt out from that.

What signs point to these donations being strictly ideologically motivated? It seems more like it is about Omarchy's reach. It has clout right now. All donors stand to benefit from it by supporting it. Digital ocean especially. For an OS that aims to empower users with agents, they're going to need to host their projects somewhere. Gnome has no clout. It's boring and stable. I say this as someone who loves GNOME and uses it.

Ah, that makes sense. I noticed recently that even all the new fast food restaurants in town have been built with much smaller dining rooms.

I know nothing about this business? Why are they abruptly closing everything?

Something like this will probably be done on android years before iOS, if ever. One hope I have for the Ternus era is that Apple opens up more. I love Apple's hardware, I just have how closed off the software is and can't have the fun with it that I want to have.

Agreed. I like Joe Rogan but hate Spotify. For that time period where Rogan was a Spotify exclusive, I didn't listen to his podcast at all.

It's obvious you're speaking from a place of emotion and not from knowledge or logic.

Even if that were true the answer wouldn't be to not train them more. The answer would be to give them more proper training.
