Extreme “gamer aesthetic” cringe to me but someone will love it. I’d love a somewhat shiny rose gold one or a ThinkPad themed or a military olive one though

I forgor 💀

We had this as the firewall in our school! I remember bypassing it in so many ways with Google DNS and whatnot.

Not a meteorologist but definitely aliens. Don’t get probed man.

What?

Not surprising to anyone who has seen steamdiscussions before. Shit is like 4chan 2 years behind with worse grammar.

Nobody is trying to be manipulative bro, the boogeymen in your head aren’t trying to be offended - you come off like an asshole that’s why they’re assuming you are.

Kamala lost. The idpol of kinder language is a trashfire and a failure because the assumption that “empathy” is a shared quality among humanity is wrong and “bloodlust” is actually far more common, while complete ignorance and anti-intellectualism and accusations of “overthinking” prevail over both as you can see in the programming.dev techbro below.

Talking about how language influences views of marginalized or minority groups is useless when most people can barely even read more than a paragraph without bitching because they never developed reading stamina.

As for those who make these conversations necessary in the first place - they will always use the meanest word they can and all this has done is fed fuel to reactionaries.

There are far more important real fights to fight, like access to HRT and surgeries for people suffering from gender dysphoria - a crippling disorder, before you metropolitan libs start going on about “trans-femmes” and “masculine gendered language”

☝️🤓 - HR sounding ass

That’s rough. That said as a trans woman (no idea what a trans-femme is) I don’t see a problem with it in the context of “you guys”.

I use “dude” as a general exclamation towards my own also-trans gf sometimes even. Really y’all oughta chill on the language policing. If you pass people will treat you like the gender you look like, if you don’t, they won’t really, no matter how much they try, and your main issue is not passing and thus money which can fix that, not other people and their language use.

No

I think you misunderstood. TLAs want people to prove their identities to prevent or collect data on victimless “crimes” like ML or being a customer or vendor of substances outside of the US pharma-DEA cartels’ authority.

I don’t think that’s a good thing, I think criminalising such activity is a way of oppressing the proles on their own tax dime, especially when white collar not-so-victimless crimes are seldom punished, therefore I am against KYC.

Yeah, it’s an anti-glowie measure, that’s why we like it.

Plenty of nice scientific info in the thread but from a personal experience as someone who used to hit the bong 3x daily for months, it makes you okay with being bored, it’s instant entertainment, and at the end of it you feel stupid because you wish you’d done something with the time and been bored more to get that spark of creativity to come through.

Any reason why you think so?

Sucks. Fuck KYC now and forever

You’ve got the coolest instance name I’ve seen btw! Not sure if it’s depression lofi band or a real thing but awesome either way

AI one looks neat. Never heard of this other one.

I wasn’t only able to feign an insult, I already responded to you that you’re making Linux look bad. You’re definitely a teenager with a small attention span and unable to recognize user names. I don’t actually hold it against you, I’m glad you’re interested in FOSS!

Your advocacy is simply not effective though, insulting people for their choices may make you feel superior but it sure doesn’t make them feel good. Instead - recognize that other people are equally intelligent, and they make informed choices. As an advocate for anything seeking to sway a neutral public your purpose is to inform them of better choices, and if you do so positively and with charisma, you will associate the subject of your advocacy with said positivity in the minds of the public.

So instead of all those rants, you could’ve simply wrote a quick and concise:

" Linux doesn’t have these problems :) (it has other problems) "

and been updooted to the top.

Good idea I’d say.
