Side request: if it doesn't bother you too much I would prefer you refer to trans women with penises as trans women with penises rather than as "intact" trans women. Such phrasing suggests that trans women without penises are

> What little research exists on the topic says that most of those girls will grow out of their gender dysphoria, and well-meaning attempts at gender reassignment surgery for them will backfire. This is frequently claimed but is untrue,

TERFs primarily don't focus on trans men because they see them as misguided women. You can find many TERFs blaming trans women and "gender ideology" for convincing butch-identified lesbians that they're actually straight

Cis women rape other cis women too, and not all trans women can impregnate people.

No? They hired Chris Lattner and paid him to work on LLVM and Clang for around a decade. Clang and LLVM are still open source, and the Swift compiler is also open source.

EEE is about actual intellectual property and compatibility, not just concepts. As far as I know AirDrop, Handoff, and AirPlay are proprietary all the way down.

I think having to manually annotate C headers with extra type information starts to reduce the benefits of automatically generating FFI interfaces. Rust already has bindgen which goes pretty far.

Apple could absolutely do it (or Microsoft, or Google, or Amazon) but there’s no justification for it from a business perspective.

This is part of the explanation but it's clearly not the whole explanation. The other part is why Windows has gone through half a dozen different UI toolkits while macOS is recognizably the same with some re-skins since 2001. There&#x2

Trackers are very, very different from the clip-manipulation style of Reaper/Logic/Pro Tools. They are typically seen as being best for electronic music, though this is partly historical. You would be learning a whole new workflow

Well you can go use Windows on the high-contrast setting then.

As a primary macOS user who has also done professional Windows development, I am simultaneously blown away by the quality of the development environments and tools (PowerShell! C#! .NET! Visual Studio!) available on Windows and more or less

There are multiple ways to stop people from being bullied and harassed. We shouldn’t leave it on everyone to defend themselves, but set baseline standards of acceptable behavior. This is uncontroversial as far as government in general is co

That’s true, but something should also be done to correct the behavior of the offender, which is what I think most of this thread is talking about.

> It takes two to make an offense - one to give offense, the other to take offense. Don't take offense, and there is no offense. What else does this mean?

by jolux 5y ago
I mean you said that behavior that offends is partially the fault of the person taking offense, I don’t understand how that’s not blaming the victim here. Having a thick skin is important but I question your priorities when your response to

I don’t mean to be crude but it’s kind of irrelevant what the specific definition of bullying is, and it’s definitely irrelevant what his intentions were. Many people find his behavior extremely unpleasant, belligerent, mean, etc, as eviden

There's a difference between finding it challenging to fit in and being a bully though, and let's try not to collapse that.

Yeah I mean I still mess up sometimes but everyone does. Developing a reputation for being an asshat requires carelessness or malign intent.

I’m autistic too, and I think what happens is that autistic people who also happen to be brilliant are not expected to learn how to interact well with others to the same extent that autistic folk of average intelligence are, so it ends up b

It’s definitely not the best. I have my issues with it. But I’ve been using it since I got a Mac in 2014 and it has improved a lot since then, it rarely blows up on me anymore. In fact I can’t remember when last it did. I’ve always wanted t

There are plenty of third-party package managers for macOS that work fine. I would prefer it if Apple picked one to officially support, but installing Homebrew takes me ten minutes and then I never have to think about it again.

by jolux 5y ago
To be clear, Adichie has said she finds J.K. Rowling's opinions on trans people reasonable, so it's not just an assumption. There's evidence backing it.

by jolux 5y ago
Have you read the Rowling essay? She advocates many discriminatory positions in it. Among them, she doesn't think trans women should be allowed in women's bathrooms, or other "single sex spaces." I don't think every
