I'm someone who hasn't used Windows for gaming in years, and has been enjoying Proton since 2019. But, especially for children, a lot of these games are a big part of their social lives. Paragraphs could be expended on the vices o

I agree with your analogy, but as an aside... "Cuck license" is not a phrase that's a term of art outside this blog post and I don't think it's a useful lens for understanding how software licenses work. It also see

In the most generous interpretation possible, I still would not say it has taken on a "life of its own", it's still very well rooted in the context of the belief the CIA plants black people in locations for gangstalking.

In case it is pertinent for anyone clicking, the source article does not censor the text, but it is a little blurry in the image.

Just speaking anecdotally, Codeberg today feels like the Gitlab of yesteryear, except that Codeberg has projects on it. Someone who is contributing to open source will eventually need to create a Codeberg account. The top comment of the lin

"Source: I made it up" was a meme meant to be deployed in conversations between children online. And now we're seeing the phrase deployed sincerely and almost verbatim in the annals of the most prestigious institutions of tho

This does nothing to remove the loooooong animations. Much of the interface still jiggles, wobbles, slides, etc. It just replaces a fraction of those with fade animations that are just as long. It's just a high-latency interface all th

The biggest problem IMO is the loooooooong animation delay built into every UI interaction. It's so hard to get into a flow state or even maintain a train of thought when you have to wait for everything on the screen to stop sliding, w

I read the fine print and plenty of others do too. Corporations have convinced people they're powerless and illiterate when they're usually not.

This is fair, I didn't know about this, but this doesn't appear to be the case for Imane Khelif. Either way, my point still stands. These women are women, would have been recognized as such by anyone throughout history, and it&#x2

No, I am specifically talking about biological variation in sex characteristics. This is common, and it's not surprising if someone is within the range of "the opposite sex" for one or several sex characteristics. There are m

For starters, I can't find any credible source saying they have XY chromosomes or internal testes. Further, they are women, and therefore their testosterone levels and muscle development are female. This just gets to a ludicrous place.

I don't see how your question follows from the rest of the discussion, or in what specific ways you are suggesting people argue to be equivalent. Both K-12 sports and Olympic sports are understood to be sports. To restate myself, sport

So? It would apply to sex chromosomes and only sex chromosomes, which is just one observed sex characteristic. We are talking about sexual dimorphism and secondary sex characteristics. Humans were understood to be sexually dimorphic before

To add to this, I want to stress on the point of rarity. Variations within sex metrics are not the uncommon fringe case people make it out to be, they're actually common and expected. Within biology, we'd see a number of metrics (

In the Olympics, it appears trans athletes are still a minority among the group of athletes who are excluded because of sex characteristics. Most of the athletes impacted by the ever-stricter testosterone limits in the Olympics are cis wome

No, that is not a good analogy at all. It's so poor an analogy that it's challenging to interpret this comment generously. I think you might be arguing facetiously to make a different rhetoric point than the literal content of you

This might be true if the Olympics were exclusively classifying the 23rd chromosomes, and nothing but. Leave aside the fact that very few of us here have actually tested our 23rd chromosome. Historically, the Olympics have not been (and are

Python's interactive interpreter makes it pretty useful as a shell, for iterative development, and crucially useful in a Jupyter notebook. I've also found CircuitPython's interpreter to be bonkers useful in prototyping embedd

Personally, I gave Apple many thousands of dollars, and then I had updates forced on me by Apple which made every Apple device I own worse. One can be angry about things which directly and immediately make their life worse while also being

That's why I emphasized this is different. Apple fans bemoaned the Settings menu changing from a grid to a list, or the battery getting a skeumorphic icon, but that doesn't really matter. The Liquid Glass stuff was forced on users

There are many things which are worse which cannot be configured. I can't get my battery life back, I can't get a version of Apple Maps which doesn't crash on launch back, I can't get my framerate back. I can't even

That's fair, by "everyone" it's probably only several million people. Other than that, I stand by my statement exactly. This is very bad.

My personal experiences are the opposite of this. I have people in my life who are gen Z, millenials, and gen X who are befuddled by it. We also have data to show people dislike this. Google Trends shows the largest spikes ever for "ho

The space allocated for "Apple has lost their way" has been maxed out for decades, so it bears stressing that this time is different. This Liquid Glass debacle has disillusioned everyone from hardcore Apple fans to normal people w

I understand the feeling, but I'd appreciate if my off-the-cuff feelings about the capabilities of one political party was not articulated as a bad-faith intentional rewriting of the historical record.
