Other times, it’s more direct coded language and symbols. It’s probably less unknown these days, but some common examples of codes are the sonnenrad ‘Black Sun’ symbol, Nazi-era pseudo-runes (not to be confused with legitimate historical Germanic runes!), the numbers 14 and 88, and more.

I know someone who used 88 in a username on accident, not knowing how cryptonazis use it. He found out because he got called out for it and asked to explain. After finding out what 88 can mean, he changed his username because he didn’t want to be mistaken as a nazi. TBF, his initial reaction was “wtf, why would someone suggest I’m a nazi and want to ban me because I have some numbers at the end of my name?” I think some people take it for granted that others are aware of these things.

For somethings, it makes it harder to install so being immutable sometimes adds an extra hurdle. But for the type of people who wouldn’t install the OS themselves, they aren’t going to try those methods anyways and if they did, they wouldn’t know enough to not break things. So this is what I was thinking.

OTOH, it makes it harder to get find answers since its less popular than the parent OS’s and fedora instructions often don’t apply, so if they ever do get interested in learning more it could be a hurdle. But they’re just gonna ask me to deal with it, and I’m currently using bazzite (+ windows dual-boot for work stuff).

Have you considered just using something with version history support and keep the PDF there? That way you can just revert to old versions as needed. Foss option that comes to mind would be nextcloud. Also would mean if students tried to change things after it’s been graded, you have a version of the graded version. Then you could use whatever pdf edit/annotation software you want.

Seems like a pretty clear answer though. Just like asking if you asked if free will exists, the only response I could give is “WTF is a free will?” Even if my answer ended with a question mark, I know you know what I mean.

I used Zorin back in like 2014 on a cheap laptop that didn’t have a good enough battery or much RAM, so windows was pretty annoying on it. The hotkeys didn’t work, but that was still better than dealing with windows on it.

A few years later, I tried dual-booting for my work laptop with Mint and it would break frequently. After reinstalling both OSes for like the 4th time in a year, I just gave up and went back to windows only due to specific software I needed windows for at the time.

Been meaning to give Linux another try, but been procrastinating on it like lots of other projects.

Most plants, mold, mildew, cockroaches, milk, and nickel are the ones I can think of. Was funny when I got a prick test, they were training someone, so they were sorta happy I was so reactive to so many things because it meant they got to show how to rate the severity of all the dozens of bumps.

Same. Is surprising how people assume that given milk allergy is still one of the more common allergies.

What do you mean “this?” Making the thread? Seems like the OP explains:

Yes, this is a shitpost and I actually would date a cis person, I actually do, a cis lesbian in fact. We just had our 10th anniversary. And she says posts like this one are really fucking stupid. Only trans people are subject to posts like this.

Also, its not limited to just stupid internet posts. People just randomly decide to talk to other people about how they wouldn’t date or have sex with trans people with nothing prompting such discussions. Why do cis people just go around imagining hypothetical trans people want to have sex with them?

I think most cis people don’t think much about their gender

Of the 5 guys I’m closest to, I think three do seem to clearly value their masculinity. They express it in different ways and I don’t think they conceptualize it the same way trans people do and some of them probably don’t realize they do care about it.

I tend to think gender is not just BS even if there are arbitrary elements, and I increasingly believe my gender identity ties into my biology in ways that make my gender not a choice but an immutable part of who I am

I don’t disagree. My choice of “feel like” was intend to differentiate it from my beliefs and to avoid implying I was saying other ought to feel/think the same. I largely believe my negative feelings towards gender are likely a result of the gendered expectations pushed onto me because of my AGAB. At the very least, I do believe we need to abolish the prescriptive nature of gender.

regardless, I would think a major reason to not date cis people is that they don’t understand our experiences - it’s interesting that didn’t come up for you, but maybe that’s because you don’t date or have sex

That’s pretty much what I meant by saying I wouldn’t jive with them. I don’t think they need to be trans to understand though, but I don’t feel like those who strongly feel their AGAB could relate.

I mostly meant it as a joke. I don’t date or have sex, so its not something I’d seriously consider.

But I also suspect I’d have a hard time jiving with someone who strongly identifies with their AGAB. Personally, I sorta feel like gender is BS and cis people caring about it is weird. If they only tepidly identify with it, that’s fine. In a non-transphobic world, I’d hold trans people to the same standard, but since transphobia is prevalent, trans pride ought to exist as a counter force and trans people at least inherently challenge some of the worst aspects of gender as conceptualized by transphobes.

If I found out someone was cis whom I’d otherwise consider dating, it would probably be difficult to maintain interest.

I have one that has like a knit structure(?), so it provides basically no heating.

It worked for me without any problems. I use basically vanilla ublock settings.

The lack of groups was the deal breaker for me, so after it rolled out to beta, I finally switched back to Firefox as my primary browser.

Last I tried, I don’t think you could reorder or drag/drop groups and selecting multiple tabs doesn’t result in “group tabs” in the context menu, but it is still decent enough.

Linux is illegal?

Crash the market hard enough and people won’t be able to afford them…

I thought he got famous for anti-semetic jokes he made in his late-20’s.

After replying to this, I got that message for a second time except its missing the stumblechat link.

Given the bot is using a single message for everyone, it could have been written by an actual human.

We beat fascism or something?

That is the implication. That you should find local fascists and beat them.
