The extremely short version is that a trans man made a post on the trans subreddit, saying that trans men’s issues are overlooked and under seen.
One or more moderators removed the post, claiming it was “divisive”.
The sub basically blew up, as there was nothing divisive in the original post. Drama has ensued. I don’t know that it’s been resolved .
Poster is saying his dad installed the mod, not that he made it
God fucking dammit
Are you saying that’s happened? Or that you expect it will?
If this is the same thing I’m thinking of, the case was to be allowed to immigrate in the US. It was dismissed, so they were no longer legally in the country.
It’s rancid bullshit that they were instantly detained, of course, but** there is a logic to it.
It serves the key purpose of Mumble, in that it provides a reliable way to get in a voice chat with people. The other features (text chat, video calls, screen sharing, “servers” that let people aggregate for a dedicated purpose/community) come together to make a legitimately good product that’s hard to replace.
With little to no attachment to one’s personal life, unless I’m mistaken.
Is there a peer to peer equivalent to Discord? That feels like it would be the best option, since it wouldn’t rely on a centralized company that could enshittify the product.
It is a bit baffling. I think it’s more ethical than the alternative though: pay gating useful functionality. Offering paid pallete swaps doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, someone who would never pay for that, but it does at least mean I can just ignore it. If they were to, say, restrict voice calls to a paid subscription, suddenly I’m in a position where either I’m paying for the service or ditching it entirely.
I want to see how that works too!
In the long term, yes. Ideally your birth rate matches your death rate so you have stability in supporting the citizenry. But when your system expects the birth rate to exceed the death rate, even changing to equilibrium can be catastrophic.
I got a message from my boss today asking me to come into the office (I’m nominally fully remote). It’s probably fine, but…
I don’t rightly expect whether I watch propaganda to change the opinions of those that believe it. Just because “they” won’t consume content I know to be good, that means I should consume content I know to be bad to balance it out?
I doubt the deposits were for the full cost, right?
A friend of mine is a streamer. On his discord, the topic of the Switch 2 came up, and one of his fans stated their desire for it to support 3D TV. Rather than saying my gut reaction – “are you crazy?” – I simply asked why. I consider it a great moment of personal self control.
It’s a reference to a Tumblr meme, “spiders georg”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiders_Georg?wprov=sfla1
And let’s not forget: you can’t use the giant metal cage unless you have a plethora of details registered with the government and associated with the cage! And you’re legally required to have a contract with a private company to insure the cage.
Freedom. Bah.
That and the shocking number of tankies.
