I just wish we’d get solid, affordable RISC-V already. Especially with the arbitrary-length vector instruction extension, which I find to be a much better design for hardware compatibility than the fixed width extensions in x86 (and ARM too, AFAIK).

Go fash get financially smashed

That train looks seriously awesome :p

The catholic church still considers being trans a sin (and hence inferior to being cis).

I wish people would stop whitewashing that organisation, even if this is a tiny amount of progress (no shade on the op, just a general comment on the way conversations around organised religion and the catholic church in general seem to be happening >.<)

Life Pro Tip

ITT: people advocating eugenics on themselves. I hate it. I hate seeing it. And stuff like this is psychologically destructive to read for me.

If people here don’t like others with similar traits to them advocating that their life and perspective is not valuable and that they should hate it and wish no-one new experience it, I recommend avoiding this thread - even moreso if you have suicidal tendencies. It was very upsetting for me ;-;, even though I personally have no intent to have kids.

I’m not sure they’ll succeed in extinguishing linux. But I do get the worry, especially with WSL.

What I am more worried about is them potentially extinguishing git via their control of github. In particular, with their github cli tool and such >.<

I’ve always thought of “blob” in yerms of ot being opaque and hard to understand, like a blob of putty with little structure you can dig into to get at it, you just have to take it as one solid barely understandable mass to use it.

Never thought of it as Binary Large OBject ;p

We shouldn’t get bullied into believing people can be any sex they want to be. They can’t

They can’t

Sounds like a challenge for transhumanist tech to solve 😎✊⚧️Ⓐ💻.

(Other people have covered the factual incorrectness here - the short of it is that (1) gender =/= sex and (2) “sex” isnt some monolithic thing but a complex, multi-axis thing itself - most of these axes are changeable to various degrees as well ^.)

It’s frustrating, because I have pronouns after my name and I dislike hexbear… a lot. It is a good idea to have users give pronouns and automatically attach it.

Their behaviour has made me constantly check if people with pronouns after their names are part of hexbear before engaging in any threads, because of the stress of dealing with them :/, sometimes I do engage anyway and immediately regret it /shrug

It is depressing, because normally using pronouns like this indicates trans supportiveness so I feel better about conversing with people with them on their names. Hexbear has ruined this because of their behaviour around all other topics and sometimes trans topics.

Just hope Jerboa gets instance-blocking features soon ;p, then I can block them on both my lemmy accounts ^.

I guess it’s a typo for “baby trans”, a sometimes-slightly-derogatory term (but can be neutral too) for people who only recently started transitioning or only recently realised they are trans ^.

Some people who’ve been transitioning for longer don’t find the kind of stuff they feel is often posted by “”“baby trans”“” people interesting or enjoyable or relatable. Or they just aren’t into online trans meme cultures, or several other things.

If they’d called it Dogs arse Flu you wouldn’t even comment.

This is totally irrelevant?? It was a coronavirus, not a flu virus, which is why it’s not called as some kind of flu strain.

P.S. Sar-cov2 is the alleged infection agent and not Covid19, which is a list of basic symptoms.

It is the infection agent. Not the “”“alleged”“” infection agent. Also casual conversation and speech is a thing ^.

I assure you i’m not capable of having been infected by a computer model, and I have absolutely been infected with covid-19 in the past.

The uk has a serious surveillance state cultural problem.

And holy fuck is this dumb.

“Left leaning landlord” is an oxymoron ;p

Or at least if someone actually held to their principles, they would not remain both for very long ^.

(The concept of a separate ownership class, which is the defining feature of landlordism, is in direct contradiction with leftism, which at the furthest end pushes for the destruction of these sorts of hierarchical class systems, or at the very least attempts to abolish the gatekeeping and hoarding of base necessities like shelter)

Because it’s not correct, for a lot of reasons. Even the idea of “human nature” is pretty questionable, at least unless your conception of it is extremely broad and conditional ^.^

People are capable of cooperation and non-hierarchical/coercive organising and natural disasters and shit demonstrate this. This is just one example of proto-anarchistic organising among many.

Ahh, the “human nature” argument. Never heard that one before /s

I am an anarchist and I do not want to be a strongman. You sound like you don’t have even the most basic understanding of anarchism as a political concept <.<

Thanks :)

Private property is not the same as personal property lmao.

Also grocery stores are hiking prices to make more profits for execs, not “because of theft”. I actually think stealing from grocery stores is a bad idea for simple practical reasons (the cost of being caught is way higher than what you save by doing it), but I don’t think its unethical <.<
