- bayindirh 1y agoI intentionally left the county name out in the beginning, actually. I also semi-knowingly didn’t answer direct comments about country, either. To not devolve it into politics too much. On the other hand, I’m not bothered by it. I just wanted to point out that making assumptions from my homepage’s IP address is wrong. We all say rude things sometimes, and that’s OK. We’re human. No hard feelings here. Lastly, to be honest, I neither flagged nor downvoted that comment.
- firesteelrain 1y agoIt’s in your profile and pretty easily inferred from your comment when you compile the two or more pieces of information together. We can’t blame people for that
- bayindirh 1y agoDoesn't matter. I'm not hiding where I live or my nationality. It's intended to be composable. But making it composable and putting it plain and center are different things. My intention is not to hide, but to sound as neutral as possible, because my intention was to give an example, independent of the country name. If I knew other examples from other countries equally well, I'd happily add those, without the country names, too. On the other hand, when you click some of the links in my homepage, it becomes pretty evident that I don't live in Germany. So, if somebody cares to check my homepage's server's geolocation, I expect them to check a couple of links, too. So, the thing I was pointing that my homepage's server's location doesn't imply anything about where I live or the conditions of my life. I'm not bothered that somebody figured out my nationality, which country I'm talking about, etc. I'm just baffled how somebody can make that amount of false assumptions from an IP address. Plain and simple.
