I drive an Auris station wagon Hybrid (aka, the US Corolla iM with bigger boot). I had a chance to drive multiple Yaris generations and honestly I am always surprised by how roomy it is inside. They made a perfect use of space - way better than VW did with Polo (smaller Golf), that’s for sure…

…this is literally something an intern could write in a single afternoon.

I guess I am a cross between “Normie” and “Conservative”. I use macOS and Fedora daily, I watch MKBHD but also watch FOSS YouTubers. I use WhatsApp, but only because, in Netherlands, it’s impossible to live without it. I don’t use any Chromium, and I use Firefox, but I also use Safari.

Fuck getting labeled.

I like 2019 more.

The “test” being whitelisting Chrome/Safari user agent? Because Bing AI works perfectly fine in Safari, as long as you change your user agent to Edge’s.

Well, in case of Gimp for Windows, it also doesn’t help that it uses a modified GTK. So, when you start on Gimp on Windows, the program must load all the GTK libraries first, while on Linux the shared libraries are already loaded.

It seems easy, but the moment you ask the user to “choose their instance” - you already push away a lot of untechnical people. What is an instance? How do I know which one is good? Will I be able to talk to people on other instances (look at Lemmy, some instances are blocked by other instances)? Why do I even have to choose an instance?

From an UX standpoint, that’s a disaster. Stuff like Lemmy or Mastodon will remain forever a niche, because of that.

EDIT: Typo

Okay, try explaining it to my 51 years old father. Or someone who really isn’t into tech in general.

Federated stuff will work for you and I - technically knowledgeable people. But we are a tiny fraction of population. The success of WhatsApp lays in its super simplicity.

Oh I think there is hundreds reasons to shit on Apple, but this ain’t one of them.

Great! If you’re technical and not have iOS. That’s already 50% of British market not using it.

Besides, it won’t help you if that’s a government mandate, and Google will be forced to take it down for the UK market from the store. Not a lot of people are installing apps from outside the Play Store.

Everyone commeting here saying “good, we will switch to X” is absolutely stupid. This law means no iMessage, no Signal, no WhatsApp, no Telegram, no secure encrypted messaging for anyone.

What’s the show?

Yeah, but I rarely if ever leave those constraints, so it does not matter to me at all. Day to day, I use macOS anyway, and Mint only comes on my desktop PC.

Thanks for Firefox Translations, I’ve been looking for such extension for a while.

Mint. Easy to setup, fast to run, and very reliable.

For for how much heavy handed their initial reaction was, I’m surprised that Reddit doesn’t take more aggressive actions. Spez has the loudest voice on highest pole, yet so far he only managed to anger everyone.

Fuck Spez.

Pretty sure for a majority of medical issues, you don’t need to target specific gender. But if that is the case (not to mention that argument is a total red herring), following your own logic, wouldn’t better understanding of one’s characteristic in terms of gender help with assessing medical procedures?

If you find it hilarious that “men chop off their dick”, then I suppose suit yourself. To me, it honestly does not matter - as it does not affect me in any way. If you can’t look past other people’s plumbing, then I feel putty for you.

As for correlation, I’d like to mention that correlation does not necessarily mean causation.

Well then I don’t know what you read, as the correct TLDR is:

Sex is not as simple as male or female. It is determined by a combination of genetic, biochemical, physiological, and anatomical factors. The traditional binary view of sex is being challenged as we discover more complexities. Some people may have variations in the number of sex chromosomes or be born with intermediate sexual characteristics. Additionally, some individuals may have anatomical features that do not align with their gender identity. Research is ongoing in this field to gain a deeper understanding of sex determination.

According to the latest edition of “Biology” by Campbell:

“Although sex has traditionally been described as binary - male or female - we are coming to understand that this classification may be too simplistic. […] A person who inherits two X chromosomes, one from each parent, usually develops anatomy we associate with the “female” sex, while “male” properties are associated with the inheritance of one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. […] The biochemical, physiological, and anatomical features associated with “males” and “females” are turning out to be more complicated than previously thought, with many genes involved in their development. Because of the complexity of this process, many variations exist: Some individuals vary in the number of sex chromosomes in their cells, and others are born with intermediate sexual (intersex) characteristics, or with anatomical features that do not match an individual’s sense of their own gender (transgender individuals). Sex determination is an active area of research that will likely yield a more sophisticated understanding in years to come.”
