Anne Brontë's novels are not as well known as those of her more famous elder sisters, but they told truths about the abject oppression of women that English society (even her own sisters) did not want to hear, much less address. Born 1820 in Haworth, Yorkshire, Anne was the youngest of the Brontë children.
"Her second novel and the most shocking of the collective Brontë novels, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, was published under her nom-de-plume, Acton Bell, and sold out in six weeks. Anne’s depiction of alcoholism, debauchery and what May Sinclair, a member of the Woman Writers' Suffrage League, described in 1913 as “the slamming of Helen Huntingdon's bedroom door against her husband” reverberated throughout Victorian England. It is considered one of the first feminist novels.

Anne Brontรซ's novels are not as well known as those of her more famous elder sisters, but they told truths about the abject oppression of women that English society (even her own sisters) did not want to hear, much less address. Born 1820 in Haworth, Yorkshire, Anne was the youngest of the Brontรซ children.
"Her second novel and the most shocking of the collective Brontรซ novels, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, was published under her nom-de-plume, Acton Bell, and sold out in six weeks. Anneโs depiction of alcoholism, debauchery and what May Sinclair, a member of the Woman Writers' Suffrage League, described in 1913 as โthe slamming of Helen Huntingdon's bedroom door against her husbandโ reverberated throughout Victorian England. It is considered one of the first feminist novels.
"Anne lived for most of her life with her family apart from attending boarding school for two years when she was 16, and a six year spell as a governess in her early twenties. Her mother, Maria, had died when she was barely a year old and in Elizabeth Gaskellโs biography of Charlotte Brontรซ, their father remembered her as precocious. When Anne was four, he had asked her what a child most wanted. She said, โAge and experience".
"The Brontรซ sisters like many women writers at the time published their poems and novels under male pen names so that their work might be taken seriously in the male-dominated literary world of the 19th century: they were Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.
"Anneโs first novel, Agnes Grey, was published in 1847 under the pen name Acton Bell. It was based on her own experiences as a governess. Agnes Grey wants โto go out into the world; to act for myself; to exercise my unused faculties; to try my own unknown powersโ but has to deal with instances of abuse of women and governesses, oppression and isolation.
"Her second novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, published in 1848, went further. The book describes how the protagonist Helen Huntingdon left her husband to protect her son and support them both by painting. This flew in the face of all social conventions and English law. Until the Married Womenโs Property Act of 1870, a married woman was not legally a person in her own right; she was just an extension of her husband. She could not own property, sue for divorce or have legal custody of her own children. Mr Huntingdon had the legal right to force her to return, to have her charged with kidnapping for taking her own son, and with theft for supporting herself on her own money since all of her income legally belonged to him.
โSick of mankind and their disgusting ways," scribbled Anne Brontรซ in pencil at the back of her Prayer Book.
"Anne met with fierce criticism for her work despite its huge popularity. Even her sister Charlotte said the portrayal of Mr Huntingdon was overly graphic and disturbing. Anne merely remarked mildly that she "wished to tell the truth" and stuck to her guns.
"After Anne's death at the age of 29 of tuberculosis, Charlotte prevented further publication of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, writing: โIt hardly appears to me desirable to preserve. The choice of subject in that work is a mistake, it was too little consonant with the character, tastes and ideas of the gentle, retiring inexperienced writer.โ
The last word to goes to Anne:
โWhen we have to do with vice and vicious characters, I maintain it is better to depict them as they really are than as they would wish to appear. To represent a bad thing in its least offensive light is doubtless the most agreeable course for a writer of fiction to pursue; but is it the most honest, or the safest? Is it better to reveal the snares and pitfalls of life to the young and thoughtless traveller, or to cover them with branches and flowers?
O Reader! if there were less of this delicate concealment of facts โ this whispering 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace, there would be less of sin and misery to the young of both sexes who are left to wring their bitter knowledge from experience.โ

On a more serious note, regardless of how you feel about those figures, this is justโฆ weird, and Iโm surprised that this got past any sort of review. Even more strange that this is the โcorrectโ example of high quality content for a screenshot.
It's just pointless drama to use Karl Marx as an example, it serves the purpose but you know people are going to harass you for it. Just use a cat picture or AI generate a face
@BrodieOnLinux Whatโs pointless is that attitude and instant โdisapprovalโ of it as if itโs a serious matter or means anything.
You are trying to get ahead of the supposed โhate mailโ and harassment of it as you give a shit and play the smartass, when in reality itโs yet another reactionary lip service masquerading as โapoliticalโ under the disguise of โcaring for the project and the impactโ
@BrodieOnLinux Newsflash, this says a lot more about the people making a fuss about it than who is depicted in the mockup.
The designers and people involved in the project are humans, not apolitical husks.
Politics are part of their everyday lives, work and shape the software that ends up in your desktop.
This is plain dehumanization on the basis of โomg this is not appropriate or not the time for itโ and itโs done to serve a specific purpose, willingly or not.
@TheEvilSkeleton It was an intentionally inflammatory example, the point I was getting at was it's not seen as issue if you're someone that likes the person, but there are a lot of people out there who don't and all including them does is makes you a target for needless harassment.
@TheEvilSkeleton @alatiera When you're already a target if you're from a project like GNOME for example there's no point painting a bigger one on your back for no reason at all
@BrodieOnLinux @TheEvilSkeleton @alatiera somehow I think not having this would have been even worse for me going through the comments - with this there is at least some distraction ๐
and as far as I've read up on the people I'm glad you kept it at marx - could have been worse
@razze @TheEvilSkeleton @alatiera I do like that this distracted from the other actual issues lol, I only brought it up because I know some people are obsessed with politics are harass others over it, but the screenshot structure itself wasn't a problem
For those who don't know, the other contacts in the example screenshot are other communist revolutionaries and figures. Not just Karl Marx.. hey, at least they put effort into it.
@monster @joojmachine @alatiera If someone came to that conclusion they likely already had a really negative opinion on GNOME and possibly Flatpak/Flathub as well. I explicitly said in the video that they are guidelines used to decide which apps to highlight not hardset rules, I used the word guidelines in the title, I do think I should probably should have repeated it again at the end though.
@monster @joojmachine @alatiera However even after being told they're guidelines I'm seeing people say "Well yeah they are now but wait until they're not" some people are completely delusional and no amount of guardrails will keep them on track.
@monster @BrodieOnLinux @alatiera right? and specially knowing where a lot of your fanbase stands politically (I've been on Brodie's Matrix community for less than a week and I know exactly where they stand) weirdly focusing on the Marx thing is almost a dogwhistle for the trolls and right-wingers there to go abusing the devs
If the intention was to avoid having people harassing the devs, pointing this out is absolutely having the opposite effect
The matrix is abandoned, that's it's own thing now and has nothing to do with me at this point, the links are still present because I haven't removed them
@utopiArte the image bbcode looks wrong to me. Maybe edit the post, insert another image below, from the photo browser.. then you can see how it must look. You can edit the photo before (the one which you then add) and add a description. Then you would also see where the alt text must be.
The diaspora post above is the result of a lengthy conversation on diaspora about how to implement the altText help for the visually impaired over there: pod.geraspora.de/posts/cd1d8e7โฆ
In other words, this is how diaspora implements alt text and I guess this is something friendica in any case has to implement in his code for communication with diaspora, actually in both directions. As this in any case will be added/implemented to the future code of diaspora, for those who are not going tu upgrade 2023.05 I guess there are some files somewhere where this will have to be changed in the existing installation, hence the text:
In other words, to be visible on firendica I'll have to use the brakets that Diaspora uses for text that is displayed if the image dosen't show up and there for post the text two times: 🤔 ... show more

The first text is the text that screenreaders are using. So for accessibility reasons the first one has to be set. The second text is just decoration. it is not needed for accessibility.

Flathub has grown greatly over the past couple of years and now it's more than just an app repo now it's more akin to an application storefront and any good ...
There is no community, it's just a bunch of people that happen to like one thing also don't take my social media garbage posts as serious this platform is just as serious as twitter
I've looked at the yt comments that all. It certainly not nice to flathub to misrepresent their mostly reasonable guidelines because "engagement". Also others here have already criticized your almost dog whistle over a leftist philosopher (that you controversially compare to Hitler or Trump). It surely radicalize your audience.
@CriticalSinking I don't agree that it's a dogwhistle, I'm being consistent. I don't think you should include controversial political figures in official documentation regardless of where they are on the political spectrum.
it is controversial to you and your conservative audience, for sure. Your extreme political comparisons show you're not neutral and definitely on the political spectrum. Even if you don't intend it that way, your viewers will notice anyway.
@CriticalSinking I think comparing an extreme left wing figure with an extreme right wing figure makes me by definition neutral. My audience is made up of people, I don't know or care what how they align politically because I talk about Linux not politics
you're comparing a philosopher/economist that never had power to a genocider, it's never gonna be neutral. Makes you look you don't know who marx is. The political controversy at flathub is quite mild comparing to what you resort to, but hey you do what you want.
the only one I think should be absolutely mandatory is screenshots and the rest are closer to suggestions.
I love when I find a project like "a revolutionary new photo editor with a next gen interface" and there's no screenshot. If a repo does that I just assume it's some POS or outright malware.
