xyon,

Oh, don’t worry, it’s only bad for the common people so that doesn’t count.

xyon,

I think that slot is probably designed for SSDs instead of HDDs. SSDs are significantly slimmer and would fit there without fouling the side panel. From the promotional material I can see of your case, it looks like it comes with a cage designed to hold 3.5" HDDs - to fit this drive properly you’ll need a caddy to adapt it to fit that, and install it into there instead.

xyon,

she had no face for a few scenes on mine, but she had hair, lol

hampter, to LGBT

Which one do you prefer, LGBTQIA+ or GSRM?

LGBTQIA+
+Recognisable
+???
-Cumbersome
-Some groups are relegated to the "+"

GSRM
+Includes everyone
+Not cumbersome
-New
-Not familiar

OK I am biased but I do want to know why people still use the long one when we could be using the short one?

xyon,

"LGBT" as a shorthand is less cumbersome and more familiar / has inertia, but always feels like you're missing people out. I don't mind GSRM but this is the first I'm seeing it - I think the inertia LGBTQ+ has might well cause people to prefer it.

Fundamentally we just want people to know what we mean, and sometimes terms that are less accurate but more familiar actually achieve that better than the inverse.

Edit to add: I'm finding the "M" for "Minority" more problematic now that I think about it. I'm not convinced that this is hugely accurate - it feels like something rooted in a "cishet is the norm" thought process.

xyon,

It's like Web 1.0, all over again, but this time with better technology

xyon,

"this is how we avoid treating them like employees - or even humans"

I bet Amazon can't fucking wait for self driving prime vans to be road legal.

xyon,

Tabs are one tab character wide, it's perfect

xyon,

Honestly, this looks every inch the spiritual sequel to the 1999 game "birth of the federation" (if you're in the US there's a good chance you didn't experience it because it was Europe only). I have faith that paradox have the chops not to drop the ball here, but only time will tell.

xyon,

I love that it says fake like this isn't the legit one 😂

xyon,

As for your boat, I think the front fell off

xyon,

Well done, that's quite a commitment. I watched a lot of trek as it aired, but I've still not quite seen all of TOS or ENT - and I've skipped out on the Kelvin films after 2009.

The most surprising one I think has been Prodigy; I didn't expect it to be as compelling as it ended up being.

xyon,

Me too but I preferred pre-cocoon Murph. Biped Murph is just not quite as good.

xyon,

Definitely clickbaitey title, but some interesting thoughts here. I want to link this up with home assistant or something to get it to automatically pull the power use down somehow when the price is high.

xyon,

We'll cross that bridge after we've set it on fire

xyon,

There's a lot of things wrapped up in "trans"; lots of identities fall under trans as a term, but don't necessarily relate to one another. I'm a trans woman, while my experience relates in some ways to transmascs and to agender or enby folk, in many ways it does not. This kind of subdivision is, I think, less evident for the L or the G in LGBTQ+ because they're more specific things.

Along with that, Reddit is (was) one of those places where it was possible to build a supportive community of anonymous individuals, somewhere it's safe to be yourself without putting your real identity against that presentation. For a lot of us, it was the first place we were truly us, and it really sucks to see how it's being torn apart right now. A bigger concern especially now, while things are as batshit insane for trans kids as they are, is that these communities will now be harder to access even if they do stick around after the 30th - so where do the people who don't have the safety or freedom in their offline lives to express themselves and work through their identity go then?

xyon,

lol every answer he's actually commented in has been downvoted to fuck

xyon,

I'll be excited about it when there's some actual consequences for him out of it. Until then I'm just utterly convinced he'll face no actual penalty for his actions.

xyon,

He's just going to edit everyone's comment so it looks like they're all praising him

Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political! (cdn.masto.host)

Linus' thread: (CW: bigotry and racism in the comments) https://social.kernel.org/notice/AWSXomDbvdxKgOxVAm (you need to scroll down, i can't seem to link to the comment in the screenshot)

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.

Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.

I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you?

I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.

And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.
xyon,

Hello I'm a trans person from the UK here to tell you this is sadly not the case at all.
