If the problem is cultural, the solution will not be technological.

It depends on who you ask, whom the problem hurts the most, and whether an *effective* non-technical "solution" has any chance of being found and *implemented*.

E.g., multiple harassment problems here have been solved for me by using the mute and block features of Mastodon. Requiring me to consider this "not a solution" until the Fediverse, society or whoever has *effectively* dealt with it would have persisted the problem indefinitely, for me.

I'D JUST LIKE TO INTERJECT FOR A MOMENT. WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AS LINUX IS IN FACT GNU/LINUX, OR AS I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN TO CALLING IT, GNU + LINUX. LINUX IS NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM UNTO ITSELF, BUT RATHER ANOTHER FREE COMPONENT OF A FULLY FUNCTIONING GNU SYSTEM

@dangillmor classic stereotype. But I've yet to come across anyone like this in the wild.

Do I just live a very sheltered #Linux life?
