Graaien could be clutch, claw, scrabble, grasp, or snatch, maybe?

There it is

Fewer people are using Elon Musk’s X as the platform struggles to attract and keep users, according to analysts (www.nbcnews.com)

Data from two research firms and figures published by Musk and X suggest a deteriorating situation for X by some metrics. Musk has marketed it as the world’s “town square,” but in number of users it continues to lag far behind social media rivals that focus on video, such as Instagram and TikTok. ...

When a piece of content that doesn't allow downvotes, like a tweet, has lots more reposts than it does likes, the "ratio" is seen as proof the opinion was disagreed with, proportionally to the "ratio" itself.

JungleJim ,

Not sure why you phrased that as correcting them when you were agreeing and adding to it.

JungleJim ,

Fair enough.

"clearly wasn't"

I see now, you just phrase things abruptly in a way that SEEMS rude but clearly isn't. My mistake. Have a nice day.

JungleJim ,

No clue about motorcycles but those things look neat and win awards. I want one now. Thanks for turning me on to this neat bike.

JungleJim ,

Oh okay, you said not to so I thought you meant don't. Thanks for being cool with what I'm in to

JungleJim ,

Superman could do it. Spiderman could not.

I'm glad trans people and non binary people feel comfortable in Linux spaces. Everyone should feel accepted in what is ultimately about computer software. At the same time, I find it a little confusing just how much content seems to find 1:1 equivalence between trans/enby movements and using not-windows.

I really want trans people to feel comfortable here, but I also feel like the frequent repetition of content like this post sort of commoditizes transness. Am I not a valid trans person if I prefer Macs? Am I not a valid Linux user if I'm happy with my AGAB? Again, really happy trans/enby people are happy here, but when we start saying group 1 equals by definition group 2, people from both groups get left out.

I think that you hit a key note here: it's a crossover meme from other spaces. They're not Linux memes. I do get the joke, and why you make it, and I understand the concept of intersectional solidarity, and that it's a good thing.

I also think that when people who have been marginalized for a long time find spaces that accept them, tend to treat any space that accepts them as a space made "for" them and their issues, when really Linux has nothing to do with what's in my pants or yours or anyones. Linux isn't a men's thing, or a women's thing, or about gender at all.

I (don't) appreciate the fact that instead of empathizing and trying to address my concerns, you're telling me I'm overthinking it, and explaining it to me like I wouldn't understand the concepts of let's see, the meme itself, capitalism, socialism, and FOSS software.

It's a joke, yeah, I get it, but jokes are supposed to be funny and instead this one is using harmful language about trans people and FOSS software. Stop. And don't act like anyone who doesn't agree with you just doesn't get it.

JungleJim ,

That's not okay. What if somebody told you that you'd eventually revert to cisgendered? That'd be very hurtful and rude. Telling this person their sexuality identity will change because you think it should is wrong

Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck (www.engadget.com)

Last year, two Waymo robotaxis in Phoenix "made contact" with the same pickup truck that was in the midst of being towed, which prompted the Alphabet subsidiary to issue a recall on its vehicles' software. A "recall" in this case meant rolling out a software update after investigating the issue and determining its root cause....

JungleJim ,

Bioluminescent house plants are cool but as an American I can tell you right now that my luxury bones hurt.

JungleJim ,

True, but your savings on non-luxury bones helps with the fees associated with luxury ones, I'm sure. I can't do anything for my bones with a $30 glowing petunia.

    Or Sherlock.

    JungleJim ,

    Jesus, it didn't? I already know I never want this horrible thing and I know all those monkeys died so I don't read about it in depth, but they never even got the thing to work? Somebody needs to stop him.

    JungleJim ,

    I'm fine with the word and thrilled with the thing itself, but a lot of people consider "pussy" a cuss or swear in the same manner that "dick" is. Is there a less provocative word you think covers all the bases?

    JungleJim ,

    No see to really humanize people just read their DNA sequence off like a barcode.

    Ha! My dad called my mom his little cooter (Pseudemys genus) once while they were visiting a turtle pond. It wasn't endearing how he'd hoped, and was a long ride home.

    I'm sold, cooter it is.

    JungleJim ,

    Wife often annoyed. Can't fix everything. Wife know me love her, wife still let me see after shower. Is wholesome.
