How do you propose they get transmitted? In-band in the middle of text (good luck reading that with an unsupported editor), or through servers, necessitating NAT and all that good fun? Since the images can be arbitrary you also open yoursel

Do you think that there are no "nudges" if nobody comes along and tries to "nudge"? The situation as-is is not some kind of default that's nudge-free. Whenever someone makes a decision, it probably results in some k

Please don't repeat stories without knowing the basis. What you're calling "hot coffee is hot" should be called "coffee stored at unnaturally high temperatures which cause 3rd degree burns is hot". Normal coffe

How about we also rise above comments like: > The current Two Minutes Hate* against Elon Musk is frustrating. > Those of us who don’t want to be part of this politically-motivated nastiness know we will be ostracised, so we avoid spea

Is all the fluoride which is produced as a byproduct used in drinking water? If not, why would they try to get rid of a small amount this way?

You are using the same logic as anti-vaxxers who point at the ingredients of vaccines and say "there's mercury in there, it MUST be bad for you!". Lead as part of a bigger molecule behaves differently from lead as a standalon

Maybe it's time to move away from simple winks, and instead make it a diegetic part of the content. I love the way it was used in DBZ Abridged: https://youtu.be/XMGdnof2Vfc

I don't understand what you're not seeing. Nobody is saying that the whole LK-99 sample is superconducting. Why would you expect the whole sample to float, instead of "partial floating" as we're seeing, if you have

I like your "10 second rule"! I have a slightly modified version, the "look, a fly" rule. If I can lose focus for a bit and return to the function without being confused, it's probably good!

In real life you can also have negative money. In real life you can live paycheck to paycheck. In real life you can have costs higher than your earnings.

Why? Trans people have a reason to use the word cis, whereas cis people usually don't, since it's accepted as "normal".

I'm paying $1K for a CAD license because I can't write a CAD program myself. I can easily change a 0 to a 1, why should I pay $1K (or however much) for a piece of software that does this?

I'm not sure I agree. Any project run by a commercial entity can be broken beyond recognition by said entity trying to squeeze out every ounce of money. This danger is not present with a community-led version. Sure, development might s

Because the project got taken over by Canonical. The README states why it was forked, and contributing to a community-led version of a project swallowed by a commercial entity makes a lot of sense to me.

No, there very clearly is such a thing. If I make it illegal to say the word "gay", non-gay people are much less affected than gay people are.

I don't think you're right. Musk wrote: > Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. > The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slu

You can find differences everywhere if you look hard enough. The difference you identified is not objective, it's only your opinion that it "redefines the noun". I don't think that it does, at least not more than "h

There is a bunch more. Elonjet, that one blogging page, Threads... Hell, he declared "cisgender" to be a forbidden slur!

It is if your goal is to create a divide between the two groups. There is a reason this kind of classification isn't used with minorities, e.g. we say "hetero" instead of "non-hono".

Do you really expect an article stating "this thing that should be rare isn't happening in city XYZ!"? You'd have to put out such an article for every big city, there'd be nothing but.

He banned the word "cisgender" as a slur. This makes it difficult to talk about trans topics, because how are you going to refer to non-trans people? "Normal"? It's an arbitrary decision meant to alienate these grou

I've seen it a number of times and tried to argue against it when possible. Many comment chains and posts about trans people have a couple of comments deriding them as mentally ill or denying their identity. They do go dead often, but

I'll ignore your 20-years-point, the other commenters have that covered. But: > Not surprisingly as we increase the number of records we keep, we increase the number we break. No, it's the other way around. The more records we
