    Eventually we’ll hit it with phones, and then it’s just a matter of time till a solid “base” with swapable components come out. There’s been a couple already, but they still require a sacrifice of size or speed/power.

    I’d honestly argue that we’ve more or less hit it already, since a lot of phones over the past few years haven’t really changed from the template of being a black glass rectangle with some buttons on it.

    Cloudflare’s is a corporate solution from the company that man-in-the-middles half the internet and makes me click shit every fucking time. I see it whenever I make the mistake of following a stackoverflow link.

    It is also not very useful if you don’t use a PC. Every time I look up a Cloudflare-gated site on my iPad, I usually have to jump through a few captchas before it will let me in, if it doesn’t decide to be a grump and decide to put you in a sisyphean cycle of captchas, constantly refreshing without end.

    Or if you use some software. I have citation software that gets stuck in the loop because Elsevier puts their journals behind a Cloudflare wall, and when it pops up the prompt to prove you’re not a bot, just refreshes straight into another prompt.






  • I think this all happens mostly due to the stress trans people are inadvertently causing their parents. When your kid comes out of the closet, this will happen to a parent regardless of how liberal-minded they are. Even if you have no problem with the concept, your kid being trans brings about new kinds of threat scenarios you never had to think about before. If you’re a sensible, smart and handsome person like I truly fucking am, you can process it in a few years and come out as not being a 100% asshole towards the issue.

    I feel like it’s more the opposite problem. For the parents, trans people are a vague boogeyman. They’ve never meant a trans person personally, and they’re constantly told that trans people are just waiting to jump them in the bathroom, or at sports, or all sorts of other things, so they’ve never had to contend with someone they know being trans.

    If it was simply stress or threat to the kid, it wouldn’t really explain the reaction to disowning them, since most of those aren’t about the treatment that their kids would receive for being trans.


  • At the same time, OP seems a layman, and might be coming from things like Microsoft Word, where “Discard all changes” basically means “revert to last save”.

    EDIT: After reading the related issues, OP may have also thought that “discard changes” was to uninitialise the repository, as opposed to wiping untracked files.
