latine originates in south america and does the same thing that latinx does; but doesn’t carry the divisiveness of latinx because of that origin. (ie latinx is usually fine with americans who are latino; but latinos who aren’t american, or are newly american, sometimes don’t like it because it feels like cultural appropriation to anglicize a clearly spanish word that identifies them).

also: latino and latina does not include people who don’t identify as either and is also cumbersome in english when you want to use inclusive language; latine gets rid of all of that.

and i’m also old and decrepit; i still keep defaulting to latino too.

i think that dead internet is another form of enshitification that’s more common on platforms that are backed by significant financing. eg reddit, facebook, bluesky, etc.

anecdotally: your experience gets richer on social media if you avoid platforms that describe itself as “general interest” or with investors behind it since both have an interest in trying to attract as many people as possible rather than letting people’s interest organically lead them to your platform; lemmy was a great example of this before the reddit enshitification.

The biggest issue w Latinx seems to be with its undeniably American origin and pronunciation; Latine avoids both and nothing shuts down a desire to educate a “gringo” or “pocho” better than when you educate them on their culture.

It’s so much better when other people build the things I need because they actually get done instead of just making due w an inferior alternative. Lol

thank you for making me aware of it.

Yes and I hope that it can have more mileage than Latinx since it’s origin isn’t American and the old Latino/a is bit too exclusive and cumbersome for my tastes.

It worked and I wonder if someone in the trump campaign was trolling everyone knowing that the democrats were barely bothering in Spanish media.

It made me lazy since they got everything to work out of the box. Lol

Yes, as far as they’re allowed to in this country

They’ve been able to figure it out so far

Latine or Latinx are correct but theyre loaded words like “woke” is except it goes beyond conservativism and into cultural divisions that disqualify you in the eyes of new & non-americans that aren’t yet familiar enough to understand American pop culture.

elive

you think a distribution that automatically includes all the proprietary stuff that we use baked into the distro would be more popular since it makes linux ready to go for most people; but it still gets fewer than 300 clicks per month.

context matters

i wonder if the words “latine” and “latinx” are a manifestation of democrats being out of touch here. the article accurately describes how we’re a heterogeneous mix of people; but seems unaware of some things like how using the word latine reduces the audience to young urban liberal americans only.

also: only the out of touch were surprised; anyone who watches telemundo or univision enough already knew that trump was going to win due to the rampant & mostly unchecked misinformation that defined spanish media during the election.

finally: their take on the evangelicals influence misses the point. yes, there are fewer latino evangelicals than there are latino catholics; but the evangelicals proselytize HEAVILY and that’s expanding their control over many of the most pivotal voting districts in this country that used to be democratic strongholds like the rio grande valley in texas; the imperial valley in california; and the central suburbs of chicagoland.

actions speak louder than words and the democrats’ out-of-touch actions led to their defeat.

the democrats literally broke campaign fund raising records and their donor list includes some of the richest oligarchs on this planet.

it was clear that they barely tried at all on univision and telemundo based on the professionally-polished trump-loving pundits mopping the floor with unpracticed volunteers and nonprofits; it was like watching the debate but in reverse with trump’s side dominating the discourse just as hard as kamala did.

i think that the democrats just assumed that latinos would vote for them anyways like they did with almost everyone else.

part of me wishes that the democrats spent money to put up a decent fight against the VERY rampant misinformation in spanish media instead of using the money to attack third party candidates.

Was anyone waiting at the lights? Were other drivers in small cars that could be blinded by the high beams?

I got my laptop from system76; but I think it will be tuxedo next time

i want to believe that the democrats could have won; but they’re so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory that they still would have let trump win again.
