Its the “new hype tech product background” gradient lol

I won’t disagree that there are definitely anti-men feminists, but there have also been anti-bi feminists, and currently there are anti-trans feminists. But none of them are worth discussing when talking about feminism as a whole because they really don’t apply. Those are ideologies that should be tackled independently, and should not be considered representative of the movement in general.

This is exactly my point. This is a harsh misunderstanding at what she was getting at…

She is saying that the reality of sex for the vast majority of history has been about men dominating women, not interested in satisfying the women involved, but someone already covered that point.

Goonscrolling is a crazy word for it, and is now what i will be using from now on lmao

Thats just not true my dude, there is nothing about feminist thought that says that male pleasure is abhorrent. To think so shows a lack of understanding of feminism…

I dont think so? As far as I can tell, my account still works and I bought an album there the other day.

It looks like the company has been sold around a few times in the last few years and i think its gotten worse, but I honestly cant tell lol

If you can, and they have it on there, buy your favorite albums on Bandcamp, then they are yours forever

I would say that spending the time and energy to resist a law to specifically discriminate against trans people does make you a trans activist, in the literal sense of doing activism foe trans people, whether you would call yourself that or not lol

Ive had this problem extensively, but my new Dell XPS’ works out of the box!

I dont know what everyone is so upset about, the shotgun feels fine, the recoil doesnt feel bad, and the mag size isnt a huge problem for me.

Plus the flamethrower buff and laser cannon buff are super nice. Im usually in favor of the whole “buff everything else, no debuff” but this honestly feels fine.

I believe this wholeheartedly. I work for an mcsp, and we have a client who runs a chain of “news” sites. They are buying a bunch of AI server equipment for their racks and we are almost 100% certain its to pump out garbage for the election.

IIRC it only suports plain text files / Markdown rn. Not supporting EPUB is a non-starter for me. I use my Kobo right now and love it. If they add EPUB support i will heavily consider building one.

I would love to move off last.fm, but this doesn’t support Plex, so that’s a no-go for me… I did create an account though, so once they do I will happily move over lol.

I am in no way trying to downplay the hurt and pain something like that causes. As a dude, I don’t think I can ever really be able to know what that feels like, but I can recognize it and empathize with it. No one deserves to go through and live with something like that. It totally sucks, I agree.

However, what exactly is destroying another child’s life going to solve? Is it going to make that child stop doing the thing they were punished for? Maybe, but the US recidivism rates beg to differ (44% within the first year). So what then? Is it just to make us feel good, being happy to watch another person get hurt, justified by this made up concept of ‘justice’? That’s the more likely answer, IMO.

There are much more constructive ways to prevent this from happening again that doesn’t require marking a child as an “undesirable” for the rest of their life. I can’t necessarily point to what that might look like, maybe enforced counseling to try and teach someone like that why what they did caused so much harm.

Ultimately, what I am trying to say is that someone like this should be held accountable for their actions, but enforcing suffering from the state is not an effective or moral way to do it.

I dont really think its a “boys will be boys” issue, and more that i dont think any child deserves to have their entire life ruined for something so early in their life. While i dont disagree that its very tramatic for the girls, and it is a really fucked up thing to do that should have no excuses for being acceptable, i feel there are better ways to tackle this issue than marking a 14 year old as a sexual predator or throwing them in jail barring them from a large portion of jobs, housing, etc. for the rest of their life.

But to be clear, i am a prison abolitionist in general, so take that as you will.

LOL

You talk a confident, condescending game for someone who cant substatiate any of their claims lol.

EDIT: Dear lord after looking through your comments i regret enabling you. Fuck isreal, free palestine, AI is overhyped…

Just setup cert-manager for a client at our work thats moving to a Kubernetes cluster. Setup the ACME issuer using DNS Cloudflare challenges, its awesome how simple it is to even get internal hostnames with certs.

Ads like this really arent all that scumny my dude, i mean at least IMO lol.

You gotta pay the creator to use the app. Sync isnt free, You either pay with ads, or you pay with your buckaroos. Thats just how it works. And its pretty transparent. No trying to dupe you, hes not secretly selling your data (at least as far as i know). Either view ads so he gets paid, or pay him directly. I dont see anything wrong with this business model. The issue i have with ads is the intrusiveness of them, or the stealth of them. Reddits ads are scummy because they look like reddit posts, thats not cool.

Implementing ads after getting a user base (like in your lemmy.world example) is different because they are changing the model. If i were to join an instance that started off with ads, id be less miffed because if i like it enough i can stay and view ads / pay, or i would move to a different instance. I wouldnt call it scummy. I would understand that they gotta pay bills to keep that server on, and thats how they decided to do it.

For what its worth, i am a FOSS guy all the way, and take all opportunity to block ads. But im also willing to pay for software that i think deserves it. I donate to my lemmy instance, and have paid for Sync Ultra, because they are both great and the maintainers deserve to get paid :)

I also have a foldable, and forgot how much i missed using Sync because of the foldable support. Got it today and am in love all over again lol
