Nah, pigs are shitty everywhere else too. Just in less blatantly militarized ways.

KolibriOS, arguably the smallest modern GUI OS at 1.44MB, could be encoded on ~142 of them. I shouldn’t find that interesting but I do. MikeOS, which is an operating system used to teach about OS design, could fit on ~74.

Making this a very dumb very impractical but nonetheless legitimately viable method for non-electromagnetic OS storage.

They also have a border with Canada at St Pierre & Miquelon.

What happened to the entwives is legitimately a source of great debate and mystery to this day as Tolkien never provided a conclusive answer during his lifetime. On purpose, I might add, because people kept asking him, and he enjoyed keeping the answer to himself.

There are masculine trans women.

Yeah like it’s not always a bad thing to commit resources with less than perfect efficiency. Having renewable energy is better than having none every time.

It’s not so much that they’re rare as there is a known limited supply of them, and the means of harvesting them currently creates a lot of pollution. Fossil fuels are obviously worse in this regard. And even nuclear has a limited supply in terms of naturally available fuel sources.

Renewable energy should be operated in the manner that best protects the environment, and we should be trying to waste as little possible in operating it. For those reasons, I think efficiency and sunlight hours are important considerations. The fossil fuel industry is extremely wasteful and destructive. The renewable industry should be the opposite of that.

Small solar installations of a few panels, sure like they don’t need perfect efficiency. But if we’re committing hundreds or even thousands of panels to an installation? We should maximize efficiency.

Depends. Are there lots of tall buildings around the parking lot? Solar panels are made of a lot of rare metals and so we have to be very selective about where we install them to maximize energy output. For this region large open spaces near the equator work well. Not that they can’t work elsewhere, or couldn’t work over a parking lot, but there’s a lot of variables that have to be considered on each individual level.

I love Danny ❤️ his performance as Raul in FNV is one of my favorites in the entire series. It wasn’t a pivotal role in the central story, but he’s just such a genuine actor and he made the character very memorable.

I mean, there has definitely been a noticeable and significant decline in the quality of search engine results, particularly on Google. It used to stand out at least a little bit from Bing (a search engine that went very hard into inserting ads into results early on), but they’ve essentially become indistinguishable. Aesthetics and connections with other platforms like Gmail and YouTube have become the only real reason to stay with one over the other.

Well, the US doesn’t even have a National curriculum, so I’m willing to be that there are probably many Americans who don’t know anything about Kent state.

Well, the vagina is part of the internal bit. The vulva is the external bit. See, we already have the language for this, it’s just that it rarely is used.

Yeah honestly it sounds a little weird calling it soda lol but calling it Coke makes absolutely no sense 😅

Since it’s about cognitive restructuring, I assume it went straight from the changed middle box “My boss was having a bad day” to “No depression”. Which is pretty ridiculous, not the core concept of cognitive restructuring but the idea that restructuring one automatic thought could negate your depression lol

I feel like more and more people are “living alone with roommates” well into their 30s. Affording an apartment on your own is pretty well impossible, at least where I live. People staying with abusive toxic partners because at least living together they have a roof over their heads.

The community is not simply an open forum, it is made by and for gender minorities. This isn’t something the admins are taking votes on. The opinion of the admins is that this is a safe space for trans people.

And I’m not interested in compromises. Again, you have no frame of reference for what this is like. In all due respect, you’re talking to trans people about things you do not understand as though you do in any way understand them. You also have like 6 different comment threads going on all with trans people in this community who also expect this community to be correctly moderated to fit the standards of a safe space for trans people. So you’ve accused me a couple times of thinking the OP of the other thread was being transphobic. I havent said that. I said that this is a safe space for trans people and if people want to talk about how fuckable or unfuckable trans people are they can do it elsewhere. I don’t care who started it, this isn’t the place for it.

Read it again. I never said the straight person was being transphobic. I said this is not the community for that. The admins agree.

I get sexualized and fetishized by cisgender men and women literally everywhere I go. Every space, every community, every platform. It’s never ending and I cannot fucking tell you how many times in my life I’ve had to deal with reading random unprompted opinions about how fuckable or unfuckable I am. This is not the space. This is not the community for it. Are you trans? Are you a gender minority? Do you have any frame of reference for what this is like for us?

Did you… read the post that we’re presently commenting on?

I never did invite cis people to talk about their sexual preferences here, trans people are not a hive mind 🙃 its also not my community, the two women who do own and run it have said outright this is a safe space for us.

That doesn’t change literally anything. No one on this instance should be encouraging that, and it should be removed when and where it comes up. Again, this isn’t just any instance its one meant to be safe for us specifically. I don’t care who brought it up, cis people discussing their sexual preferences towards trans people can do so on any of the other instances that are not safe spaces for us.

Cis people have every other fucking space in the world. This one is meant to be safe for gender minorities. Cis people can go to any of the other instances on lemmy and talk all about their preferences with regards to trans people.
