Ladies of code

Ah, yes. That one sounds more genteel, anyway.

You have Soulseek on your phone?

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Nicotine+ is a better client because it's more actively developed. The official Soulseek client hasn't had an update in 3 years.

For some (few) users, it's required for work. The rest are addicts or Musk fans.

According to Games Workshop, it is satire now and always has been.

I'm done wasting my life for other people.

I do enough of that at work as it is. I'll be fucked if I do it during my downtime, too.

You can thank the politicians that TurboTax and H&R Block bought. They aren't innocent here.

You don't even need a recipe. You can walk into any supermarket or deli and buy a meal in a can or a box.

That isn't the argument. The argument is that they should be paid a living wage, not that they should be paid more than anybody else.

So, you want an AI that will disobey a direct order and practices deception. I'm no expert, but that seems like a bad idea.

Filters out unmotivated applicants, I suppose

Filters out applicants who are unwilling to put up with tedious bullshit. If that's what they're looking for...fair ball.

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs (mashable.com)

On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically....

Do you have that same problem with Twitter dot com?

The greatest example was when digg changed how it operated with v4

What did they change exactly?

Unfortunately, they're making benches now with the tubing welded on.

Are dads naming the pho restaurants and hair salons, too?

It's all of the child rape. There are other things (a lot of other things), but that's probably the main one.

No, woman have to be passive-aggressive, because there are so many psychotic men! It's like you didn't even read the comic or something.

Ghosting is also another issue that’s honestly just disrespectful.

While that can be annoying, if somebody's ghosting you, that's just a signal to move on, yeah? You probably don't want a relationship with somebody who can't communicate, anyway.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yet I read other thread were women bitched and men acknowledge that we just miss signs when they interested. Its a no win situation.

People who can't communicate probably wouldn't make good partners in the first place.

What made them bad? Were they born bad? Was baby Hitler an evil baby?

The funny thing is that a vote for Trump doesn't even add +1 to his total. We need to go back to teaching civics in high school.

It doesn't. < 10 minutes with DuckDuckGo says that it was invented by a couple of landlords on TikTok who admitted they were trolling.

It's even better with Auto-Tune.

What does "ability to know" mean? Don't monkeys know things?

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

IRC doesn't have sub-channels AFAIK. Also no image support, search, video-conferencing, etc.

Many atheists are agnostic. I'm an agnostic atheist, and many of my friends are, too.

I don't know how that's relevant to the comic, though.

Lilly Watchowski has stated that a trans allegory was the "original intention", but "the corporate world wasn't ready for it". She says that there was a character, Switch, who was supposed to be male in the real world and female in the Matrix. Who knows what else got cut?

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Another major plot point that got shit-canned: The original idea was that the humans would be distributed computing power for the machines, not batteries. That makes a lot more sense, but the studio thought that explanation would be too technical (i.e. confusing) for the audience.

It feels like it was longer ago to me, because the Trump presidency and the pandemic seemed to take forever. 2020-2022 alone felt like a decade.

I thought that the most interesting fact about Ohio is that the name looks like a tractor.

You don't have to kill animals, though. You can make leather out of plants.

It's all relative. Maybe pretty chill as compared to reddit. I still get people being weirdly hostile whenever I say anything remotely controversial, no matter how nice I am about it.

Fedi.garden also has their own autonomy. They have the right to make whatever rules for their website they want. If you don't like how they run their list, then don't use it. Make your own. If people like yours better, they'll use it instead.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

I would respect somebody more if they said they made it the fuck up.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

If you wouldn't call a human being "it", then you shouldn't call a non-human animal "it", either.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Having a different pronoun for non-human animals reinforces the belief that we're separate from other animals.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

You can just use "they". That's what it's for.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

I'm not taking about the rules of grammar.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

I was taking about how the language we use reinforces belief structures. It's like saying "illegal aliens" vs. "undocumented workers". Both are valid grammatically, but your choice of terms indicates your biases.

I think if you view non-human animals as conscious beings, you're more likely to call them "they" instead of "it".
