on Queer discourse rule in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 17 Sep 2026
You’re twisting my words, I said whether or not someone is safe, not that they’re unsafe.
To be pedantic… “Whether or not someone is safe” introduces two options: Safe or not safe. Unsafe and “not safe” are more interchangeable than pansexual and bisexual.
I understand it’s not what you meant… but I dont think they’re twisting your words. I think it’s an honest attempt at faithfully interpreting your words. It’s just that the language isn’t really built for the kind of distinction you’re trying to make.

…
I’m going to acknowledge that you responded so that, when I don’t continue this conversation, you’ll know that it wasn’t because I decided to abandon my position.
You could say your response did not have a significant impact.

Did anyone do studies on the homework and exam scores of people using compilers vs people not using compilers?
Did anyone establish that people who used compilers are measurably dumber than the people who didn’t?
No?
Well then obviously it’s not the same situation, now is it?

on Wait, there's books and classes on linux? in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 13 Sep 2026
You shouldn’t have to take a class for an operating system…
…So we should use android? Maybe chromeos?
Invalid inference.

Well, there’s fairphone. And farmers markets.
Honestly, most of the things people buy are things they don’t even need… housing, cars, and insurance excluded.
Bottled Water by Nestle? ❌
Learning to love the taste of your local tap water? ✅

That seems to be a transformation, but of a lesser degree.
A cisformer should be a car that distinctly retains its form as a car. It would be very difficult to change the form of such a car, meaning it would not have much scrap value.

on Flock Safety's controversial CEO just got a taste of his own medicine in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026
I think most of us are on-board with police body cameras. The fundamental difference is that they are recording things in the presence of the police, and that they have the measurable benefit of holding the police accountable to their actions (sometimes).

Steamboat Willie is an example of Copyright. Twitter is an example of a Trademark. A Copyright is much much much easier to defend than a Trademark.

It’s stupid
Definitely.
they’ll lose in court
I’m not sure they will, genuinely. They intentionally abandoned the domain name for the website… and they’re no longer using the logo or name anywhere on their product, or corporate documentation.
The case that it’s up for grabs is actually decently strong.

on World's largest open library calls for volunteers to scan and preserve physical books as AI companies buy, scan, and destroy them — Anna's Archive says ‘time is running out’ as ‘knowledge is permanent in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
Why be condescending now?
You already fucked up the point you were making. By all means, insult people’s intelligence at the start of the conversation, before you fuck up. Doing it at the same time as fucking up looks bad… but insults after you fuck up looks even worse.

Similar: having characteristics in common.
Looking similar does mean that two things are similar. You could have tried to make your point in a variety of ways, but you chose the way that can be countered by simply understanding English.

on The fact that you can’t run through Windows setup w/o internet and an online account is absolute bullshit in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 25 Aug 2026
Do you know the Secretary Problem?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem
Your father’s been using computers for some number of years. It’s possible he’s been using computers for longer than he will continue using computers. From his perspective, the current edition of Windows is better than anything that’s come before it, so it’s the rational choice to stick with it until the end.
To get around this, you would basically need to set up a second machine with Zorin so that he can get some context before making a decision. That way, in the very realistic scenario where he decides it’s not for him, he hasn’t lost anything.

Not absolutely sure… but I’ll take “Probably wouldn’t” over “Definitely already does.”

But China isn’t going to sell my data to Uncle Sam to help deport my family (who are legal citizens). So there’s that.

on Don't paste the AI. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
Yeah, I straight up don’t respond until they’ve asked/said the thing that they’re contacting me for.
Usually they finish their thought without me ever needing to respond. I did have one coworker who just… never said anything else. That’s also a win.

9th amendment.
It’s the best amendment, despite being, legally, the most useless.
I would argue that it was meant to cover the kind of situation where a private company is given government permission to gather surveillance data from the citizenry, in exchange for access to said data.
For practical purposes, it’s a judgement call:
-If they’re under 30, I say I’m pansexual.
-If they’re over 40, I say I’m bisexual.
-In between, I pick one based on vibes.
For theory purposes:
Studies on sexual attraction predate studies on gender identity. “Bisexual” hails from a day that we just considered the physical presentation of the people a study participant is attracted to, with the options of 1: Same, 2: Different. The studies allowed for people to be homosexual, heterosexual, or both-sexual.
“Pansexual” has had different definitions in the 1920s, 1970s, 2020s, and presumably the years in between. The current popular definition of “attraction to all genders” or “attraction regardless of gender” is basically a subset of “bisexual”, since this includes both people of the same sex, and people of different sex.
It’s more inclusive in the aspect of rejecting the gender binary at the start. But also, I believe that words are for communication, so at the end of the day, I’m using the most useful word based on the information I’m trying to communicate.
