Ladies if all the men of the world disappeared for 24 hours, they are fine they will come back, BUT during those 24 hours what are YOU doing?
  • That's on you, pal. I don't feel entitled to anything but the same basic respect I give anyone, man, woman, or otherwise. All I want is not to be looked at as an existential threat just for existing and I really don't think that's unreasonable.

  • The issue isn’t with you, it’s with common experiences women have had with men.

    And that's exactly the problem. I'm not those men. I have no intention of acting like those men. Yet I'm still scared that I'm going to get pepper sprayed anyway just for asking a woman for directions.

  • I am listening, and what I'm hearing is that I, as an innocent person, am a source of terror for someone I've never met because of a fact of my biology that I have no control over. I have no ability to change the feelings of someone else, because no matter what, those feelings are only able to be changed by the person feeling them. I can say I'm innocent and not a threat until I'm blue in the face, I can act as non-threatening as I possibly can, I can leave women alone in public. None of that matters because I'm not the one with the power over those feelings.

    What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?
  • There are a lot of phrases from reddit that annoy me due to overuse. "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes" and "fuck around and find out" both annoy the absolute piss right out of me now.

    Found this great deal on a new chair for my living room. Almost 50% off!
  • My first thought is that this is meant for custom upholstery. If you're spending $1800 on a single chair, you're probably willing to shell out another grand or whatever to cover it in fabric that you like.

    UK Government Response to the Stop Killing Games Petition
  • Because cars are a useful tool made up of physical parts that can wear out, while games are an entertainment product made of ever-changing software. You need a car. You don't need video games.

    Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after firing team
  • Not to mention, it's a standard now, and the old Supercharger protocol is being phased out in favor of another standardized one (I forget which). Further development done on their chargers from here on out is going to be done by a consortium of companies rather than in-house anyway.

    Is this really the final laptop you will need this guy is claiming? it is completely customizable.
  • Discrete video or no. That’s also fine, but a lot of vendors provide this option.

    Yeah, but not as a user-serviceable module that can be replaced with minimal effort. I think you're grossly oversimplifying this point.

  • Apple doesn't provide board-level schematics so that anyone with a good supplier and a steady hand with a soldering iron can fix their motherboard, though. You also can't replace parts nearly as easily, even on older MacBooks. Swappable ports also help, so that if HDMI or displayport get replaced you can change to the new standard.

    Accessing the RAM, wifi, and SSD are only 5 screws away, and they give you a screwdriver in the package.

    Basically, Framework has provided so much information that you could practically build one from scratch yourself with enough determination and self-loathing.

    Did Fedora 40 break something for you?
  • I'm fairly confident that it's a change in Flatpak itself rather than any one specific Flatpak, since all of my apps now use the same new screen sharing interface. Difference is that it actually works in those apps.

  • Screen sharing with Discord no longer works, but I think that's from an update to Flatpak because it was also happening at the end of 39's lifecycle.

  • It's the final laptop in the same way that Theseus's boat was the last one he ever bought. You can replace bits piecemeal, but at some point you'll end up with enough leftovers for a whole new laptop.

    That said, I have an Intel one and it's a fantastic laptop. Also, not only are the motherboards capable of running on their own outside the laptop, but they've partnered with Cooler Master to make little cases for them so you can turn old mobos into mini PCs.

    If you're posting a question please get to know this tricky little guy: ?
  • That's great and all, but for those of us that do speak English and are expecting certain grammatical norms, eschewing those norms, regardless of the validity of the reason, makes it significantly harder for us to parse.

    The question mark is not a rare piece of punctuation, either. It's used in China. It's used in Japan. It's used in Vietnamese, every Romance language I've ever encountered, and every Germanic language I've ever encountered. I'm not saying I understand all those languages, but I can certainly recognize when someone's asking a question in one because the question mark remains the same.

    This is a piss-poor excuse and reeks of the attitude of one who's never encountered a language that doesn't use the Latin Alphabet even in passing. Oh yeah, by the way, it's called the Latin Alphabet, not the English Alphabet.
