It made local headlines when Ghent University appointed him:

https://www.brusselstimes.com/2007046/ghent-university-under-fire-for-appointing-us-philosopher-with-ties-to-scientific-racism

This is how they defended the appointment at the time:

‘While the university acknowledges that Cofnas's remarks are offensive to many, it maintains they do not violate legal standards or the institution's ethical code.’

Floating golf courses & trillionaire resorts leave rotting ghettos & landfill mountains, from Cygnus' wingtip to Draco's tail.

@sebsauvage y’aurait pas un « packs haute résolution » par hasard ? Y’a de plus en plus de jeux qui proposent ça j’ai l’impression, ce sont des packs de textures plus lourdes pour améliorer la qualité, mais il faut une configuration solide pour que ça tienne le coup. Généralement c’est une option à désactiver.

@Pngt C'est "effet secondaire" ou "effet indésirable". Les médicaments ont des effets secondaires ou indésirables, pas des effets de bord.

"Effet de bord" semble traduit à la dégage par des gens qui ne parlaient pas anglais mais bossaient dans l'informatique. Idem, les "edge cases" c'est des "cas limites", pas des cas du rebord.

@donaldball I feel like there is an uptick every year when the college students return, going back to 2020.

@JonnyT Yeah, not to speak for @renardboy, but I was contrasting the results posted by the bot with actual polls people have posted on this topic, eg.:

https://mastodon.social/@alttexthalloffame/114858492637529408

Yeah, this one has a smaller sample size, but I've seen more popular polls that all suggest that almost everyone fills out image description.

But yeah, those are probably just biased, obviously.

So I think it could be similar when it comes to people saying that the fediverse is more welcoming now.

good

@MastodonEngineering Where is the setting for how a user scrolls? I downloaded the app, but it opens on the most current post and as I scroll down I see history. In the Ice Cubes app it opens where I left off, then I can scroll. That is a very important difference.
