#Hardware #FSiC

@fsi Awesome! What a great initiative :)

PS. Can we please start calling people “people” and not “users”. “User” is an othering. Silicon Valley and surveillance capitalists are extractive corporations and have users. In ethical technology, we are people and we design and develop for our ourselves and for other people. ind.ie/ethical-design

@aral
As an IT person, I disagree. We acknowledge that users are people, but we need the classification for technical/documentation reasons.

@fsi

@rick_777 @aral @fsi
Yeah, "people" is people in general. Why would I talk about people in general if my software is only aimed at, idk, firefighters. Most people are not firefighters. 🤷
