Well, I’m not an expert in this stuff, but here’s a couple of starting points

• This bill amendment that was submitted, but thankfully didn’t pass
• The Cass Report, a review of the science of trans studies the government bases many of its decisions on has been widely criticised by the international community. It was also found they tried to deliberately ban any subject experts from weighing in on the report during its construction.
• The EHRC and other government bodies frequently consult trans hate groups while preventing any trans person from weighing in on decisions about them
• Last year, the UK government banned the use of puberty blockers for adolescents, saying there is an unacceptable health risk to them, when in fact the risk is minor at best and witholding them is much more damaging to trans people (high suicide rate, for example).

Generally, rather than listening to experts, the government cherry picks bad research (similar to weirdos saying vaccines cause autism) and listens to and emboldens hate groups.

It’s a words Vs actions sort of thing. They say they support trans people, while doing everything they can to make their lives worse.

That’s the narrative, but trans rights have been taken away. Ask anyone who is being forced to out themselves by going to their “sex assigned at birth” bathroom, or being forced to use the accessible toilets.

That’s in no small part due to the EHRC’s “interim guidance” that in no way follows the law.

Not to speak of the increased trans-spotting, and the fact women can now be searched by male police officers (trans or cis) for being suspected of being trans.

And every effort is being made to pass more laws to make things worse, such as making registries of trans people, outing them to their employers and potential employers.

That’s incredibly stupid. Genuinely one of the worst comparisons by a large company in the last few years, and we just had the Nvidia fake frames scandal.

Is this claim local, or do they do this across markets?

Would be helpful to have a link.

Yep, been using it for years now.

Moved over from RealVNC due to licensing limitations and problems with speed and I’ve never looked back.

Context for people who don’t get the joke, the logo on the right is for Tailwind, a library that offers an alternative to using normal CSS for styling Web UIs and websites.

It provides you with microclasses that add flexbox, margins, shadows etc. and discourages you from using the “Cascading” part of CSS (which was likely a mistake imo)

Ultimately, it’s still CSS under the hood which is the joke.

I use Mullvad for their privacy. Not sure if they would fit your needs.

Nope. I complain when it affects me and disadvantaged people. Regardless of the party in power.

Politicians are not your friends and should be held accountable.

The rich and privileged don’t need or deserve more stuff, so I don’t feel bad for them if they are negatively impacted (within reason)

Make America checks notes Poor Again!

The Nazis praised the US’s “scientific” approach to racism and eugenics.

Measuring people’s heads; IQ tests served in a person’s non-native language and relied on specific knowledge of American culture; Plain old racist rhetoric like calling people “dangerous”, “criminals” with no evidence. (Sound familiar?)

Anything to prove that black and foreign people were inferior and should be exploited, in a classic “we know the answer and we must cherry pick the data to reach that conclusion”.

A lot of these tools were taken up by the Nazis for their persecution of Jews, and now they’re coming right back around.

This is an educated meme.

Cool. Now let’s make immigrants legally people in the US.

I disagree. Most of the people Trump has pardoned, helped or gotten along with are libertarians.

They’re millionaires / billionaires who hate taxation and regulations because it gets in the way of their ruthless means of making money.

Trump is more than happy to help them to do that. He runs the government like a quid-pro-quo crime syndicate where you can buy yourself favours, including getting out of jail.

His authoritarianism only targets the poor; whatever scapegoat-du-jour the far-right hate today (trans, LGBT, minorities, immigrants); and anyone that tries to protect them.

He needs votes to stay in power, and since he can’t appeal to the left because everything he does is diametrically opposed with them (regulation, social spending, taxation of the rich) he has to pander to the far-right to keep a majority. Even if he is likely more right than far-right himself.

The requirements to get pardoned under the current administration are:

• Be white
• Be rich or high profile
• Be generally aligned with the right
• Claim your incarceration was politically motivated (it almost never is)

Your crime does not matter. Trump will accuse foreign refugees of being drug dealers and violent criminals, then pardon drug dealers and violent criminals if they were white and high profile enough (Google Ross Ulbricht as an example).

So, all things considered, SBF seems to qualify!

A Little Person on Lemmy! Woo! Go representation!

But also, does this sort of thing happen to you often, as an LP with a regular boyfriend? Just curious.

Oh, me! Me!

The signs were pretty clear so I take no credit though.

You are technically right, it likely falls under ethnic cleansing rather than genocide, as I understand it.

Still incredibly illegal though.

Who is Brandon?

Co-op video games say that’s the max number of friends you can have, so it must be true.

Of course, but OOP is typically about putting methods on classes, inheritance of behaviour etc.

JS Objects aren’t typically used that way, they tend to be used as pure data containers. At least, that’s how we mostly use them.

Occasionally, we’ll use objects to simplify passing multiple arguments including arrow functions, but I’d say that doesn’t really count unless the arrow function mutates the object it’s a part of.

I’ve worked on projects with 10 000+ lines of typescript and maybe 3 classes total.

I didn’t know Mullvad did a DNS service as well as a VPN, let alone that it has some ad blocking profiles. Thanks for that!
