Yup, xkcd #198 to be exact. “Perspective” is the name of the comic, and the text underneath is the title text.

I’ve tried searching for “person-independent neopronouns” and failed to find any results.

Care to explain how this is different than referring to one’s self in the third person? Because I’ll be honest, I have a hard time wrapping my head around this.

My respect isn’t conditional to my understanding, but I feel I could respect better if I understood more.

I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a “regular coffee”.

Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn’t parse “regular coffee” as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply “coffee”!

I honestly don’t even know why it annoys me this much.

I used to do social media for a small theatre company. I would have adored this rather than constantly fighting with the atrocity that is Meta Business Suite.

Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular “they” is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!

Singular “they” actually predates singular “you”.

0, badass is not something I’ve ever felt, nor particularly strived for.

I’m more of a goodie-two-shoes people pleaser type.

Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.

I am i mean 😅 which is simultaneously hilarious take my shift on August after bullshit about it with and you want to be nice to you comes across as an avid beer drinker I’d be down to hang out with me you’re automatically turn on von when not on home network remotely through it with and you want to be nice to you know you can be a fan of this is the tipping culture I want to be nice to you know.

This is a misrepresentation of the criticisms towards the Loi sur la laïcité de l’État.

Don’t pretend the CAQ (Coalition Avenir Québec) government is particularly concerned about secularism unless it pertains to religions other than Christianity. It was like pulling teeth trying to get la CAQ to remove the crucifix from l’Assemblée nationale, their argument being that it was a cultural and historical symbol, not at all religious! How do you reconciliate wanting to keep a cross in your legislature with loi 21’s goals of eliminating the wear of personal religious symbols?

Note: the cross did get removed eventually after some pressure from QS (Québec Solidaire).

Separation of religion and state is something I am fervently in favour of, however I think going after public servants wearing a niqab as part of their personal beliefs while actively trying to keep a crucifix up in the legislature are the actions of a government motivated more by xenophobia and racism than by secularist ideals.

Stephan Merchant didn’t voice Cave Johnston but he did voice Wheatley, another character from Portal 2.

hoping to eventually switch to searxng

Do it! Easily the best search engine I’ve ever used. I do recommend going through all the settings beforehand, though.

I knew that on Lemmy someone would have commented this before me.

I use https://search.bus-hit.me/ but honestly searxng is best used with personalised settings.

While I’ll always be wary of corporations, Valve seems to be maintaining an overall good relationship with the FOSS community (for the time being).

I use Librewolf on desktop and Mull on mobile. I have a few extensions on both, which could definitely contribute to issues. When I have issues (usually government sites or financial stuff, sometimes DRM-related stuff for media) it’s easier to just use a Chromium-based browser with no extensions than try to troubleshoot specifically what’s causing the issues. I keep Falkon (desktop) and Vanadium (mobile) installed for this purpose.

I get the feeling a lot of issues people are having in Firefox might be due to extensions or settings, which gets “fixed” by using another browser (which happens to be Chromium-based because most browsers are) and they blame the issue on Firefox itself.

Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled “pork”, it’d be great on a BBQ pizza.

You never knowingly met a Linux user. Statistically speaking, you probably have.

The issue is that OS-preference is not very common as a small talk topic. This is why you should name drop your fav distro in every conversation.

Like I said, not an expert haha (thanks for explaining what mTLS is because I had assumed I knew but truly didn’t)

That being said, I found a reddit thread detailing what seems to be the same issue as you, with OP linking a Stack Exchange post with their solution.

After some searching, maybe following the instructions on this blog post would work?

I’m by no means an expert though, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
