I let them know, they just took care of it 👍

I think you actually posted this one already lol

For what it’s worth, the harassment campaign was in full swing waaaay before CWC came out as trans, that was just extra fuel for the fire when it was starting to die down

If it isn’t the biggest harassment campaign on the internet, then it’s at least one of them

My thought about the person herself is that while she’s a pretty garbage person, it’s very clearly a result of the world around her treating her like shit on every level for basically her entire life, she grew up in a horrifically abusive right-wing household just to end up in constant attack by the worst people the internet’s had to offer, with those people shaping every aspect of her “growth” from that point forward, to the point of the 4chan harassers even going so far as to give her multiple fake friends and people trying to “help” her just to end up being part of the harassment campaign so that she can’t even know who she can trust even among people she knows IRL

Just a shitshow on every level and it’s undeniable that she’s a massive victim here even if she hasn’t exactly been a good person herself (but again, that’s largely because of how she’s been a victim the whole time)

(I think CWC still uses she/her? Someone correct me if I’m wrong, it’s been absolutely ages since I last checked for obvious reasons, I don’t like looking into this stuff lol)

I was reading some of this and thinking maybe it was a bit exaggerated how much cars are specifically a weapon, but then I just saw this post about an article talking about someone in Vancouver who murdered a baby (and severely injured the father) by running a red light they could see very far in advance who got acquitted because “it was just a lil fucky wucky uwu” and the comments pointing out that this happens all the time, regardless of how massively illegal the driver’s behavior was

Not to mention how many examples I’ve seen of drivers intentionally engaging in aggressive dangerous acts towards pedestrians and cyclists, which to be honest does leave me worried, as someone who plans to get an e-bike very soon and use it as my main form of transportation in an area without good bicycle infrastructure

So yeah, the idea of cars being an intentional form of societal violence absolutely tracks

Unfortunately, most supporters of good urbanism don’t understand how many intentional systemic factors are playing into it, they only see the symptoms, but then again I suppose if they saw these factors they wouldn’t be liberals

They probably think “the SEE SEE PEE will hack your phone and steal all your data the moment you step in the country!!” lmao

Edit: I was right lmao

Which is what makes the most sense too, hydrogen fuel cells generally don’t make much sense for personal vehicles

Nice, I got one not too long ago to use with my legs because everything else plain works like crap for those, it works very well but I haven’t been keeping on top of it at all since it’s still winter and I’m basically always wearing pants anyway 😅

Agree, I mostly use it for Linux stuff at this point, the Linux subs on reddit are somehow significantly better than the ones on Lemmy lol (helps that it has actual developers and people who know what they’re talking about)

Don’t know why everyone’s so quick to flock to Twitter 2

Exactly, people still have this cartoonish idea of what a Trump presidency would be like as if we didn’t have 4 years of seeing exactly what it would be like

People are like “but maybe he’ll be worse this time!”, and like that could be true, but that’s an entirely different thing than making very specific assumptions about specific actions he’s supposedly going to take based on no actual evidence, it’s just fearmongering to try to coerce people into reelecting a president who has already been actively materially worse (it’s as if everyone’s forgotten how much trans rights in the US have already been backsliding under Biden’s watch)

Someone I follow(ed) on Mastodon was just trying to shame people who don’t vote, because of the idea that “Trump is going to immediately round up all us trans people and throw us in camps if you don’t vote Biden!!”

As far as I can tell, the claim seems entirely made up, and it feels almost malicious to be basing that entire decision around the idea that “Trump MIGHT come after ME hypothetically!!” rather than all of the people Biden has already thrown in camps and all of the people in Gaza that Biden has given his unconditional support to genociding

It feels downright selfish to still be pushing that “vote blue no matter who” bullshit for that reason, and they clearly haven’t learned shit from 2016 and 2020

They’re also still under the impression that people choose not to vote just so that they can “push the Democrats more progressive”, when it’s basically the opposite, people realize they can’t push the Democrats left so they’re choosing not to participate in the sham they call a “democracy”, but I guess this is one of those people who can only see politics within the confines of the US electoral system

Edit: Not to mention all the other shit people have mentioned as having been actively worse under Biden, it makes it feels especially garbage and selfish that one is still pushing the idea of Biden being a human rights savior

(who btw farms montages in low rated btb games)

Typical, so many of the people who complain about the existence of SBMM in games are people who want to be able to constantly stomp players who are worse than them (when people complain about “not wanting to sweat all the time”, this is pretty much guaranteed to be the actual reason)

While I don’t doubt that Halo and CoD have flawed matchmaking, people usually use those to say that SBMM as a whole is a bad thing, or even that it’s “ruining gaming”, when it exists for good reasons and benefits a lot of games

You rarely see people complain about it in fighting games for example, usually when people do it’s because the developers of a given game have designed an original system that does a bad job at actually matching skill, when a typical Elo-style system would’ve worked far better

This is the most hilariously bad faith interpretation of a comment I’ve ever seen on the internet, congratulations

They tend to justify the view by only ever bringing up the dangers of nuclear power, and arguments about nuclear waste (ignoring the fact we keep getting better in both these areas).

I’ve even seen people like that on here before when the topic’s come up too, it’s an annoyingly common sentiment

Yes, each airbag vest costs money to produce, that’s why you pay for them, and why it’s shit that this company is charging an ongoing subscription that actively disables them when you miss a payment, because the vests they’ve already sent out don’t cost them any money to maintain

And yes, each copy of a backported security update doesn’t cost meaningful amounts of money, but you’re not paying for just a copy of one update, you’re paying for an ongoing service that provides constant backports of security updates for loads of packages (and if you’re a personal user, as other people mentioned, you don’t even have to pay for that!), those backports are not free to maintain, companies charging for extended support that is nothing new, especially when they’re long term support distros targeting enterprise

This comparison makes no sense, a motorcycle airbag vest doesn’t require any effort on the company’s part to keep working, but backporting security fixes absolutely does

They’re clearly trying to evoke the “muh asiatic hordes” idea and imply that they’re conscripting ridiculous amounts of people because they’ve already lost all their actual soldiers

It’s especially ludicrous for them to say that, it’s such obvious blatant projection when there’s overwhelming evidence that Ukraine is the one doing that, even the mainstream media is admitting it these days

That’s not mentioned in this specific blog post, but that’s always been one of Vanilla OS’s defining features, it’s “apx” package manager to install those various types of packages

It’s even using Distrobox actually, but the point is to make it simpler to install packages for those contrainers, with the user not worrying as much about managing the individual containers, and not having to memorize the specific commands for each individual distro’s package manager

Basically, like the rest of Vanilla OS, the point isn’t that you can’t do this stuff elsewhere, it’s that it’s trying to make it easier to do it
