I’m decreasing my social media use, so message me on Discord if you want to chat.
Switching to Linux means you might have to say goodbye to certain proprietary software and games. Applications like Adobe Creative Suite
as someone whose job mostly involves Adobe programs and whose many hobby is gaming, I think I’ll stick with a Windows with all the AI crap disabled via group policies and O&O Shutup 😐 For now…
I used Feedly for many years, but recently switched to Newsblur, and I love that it lets me filter out posts by tags or keywords, finally don’t have to use external tools for it.
this meme was my Facebook profile cover for a while 😁
Why not? I still look up information there too, but I use an adblocker, so it’s not like Spez is profiting from me.
If you don’t want to give them traffic, you can always visit the search result URL through the Wayback Machine or Archive.today.
I’m a graphic designer, and it could be interesting for working on CMYK files and actually see them as they would look on paper.
I also have limited understanding, but these are huge corporations with huge userbases. If they start giving “helpful” input on how the ActivityPub protocol should develop, it may exert a strong pressure/influence due to their sheer size.
I know it’s not the same situation, but it reminds me of how Google keeps trying to push shady stuff into Chromium, even though it’s supposed to be free, open-source software.
I think this is their attempt to EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) the Fediverse, so I’m strongly in favour of immediately defederating corporate instances as soon as they are created.
Not only copycats, but there’s an Indian musician who has apparently been using almost 100% the same logo for the past two years.
check out the other posts in the right sidebar, there are so many great ones :D
btw the source of this is a fucking brilliant webcomic/blog thing: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/
thanks :)
Yea, iirc I went IE -> Mozilla -> Firefox.
Are their Windows binaries safe to use? I don’t have the knowledge to compile it myself.
thanks, I’ll look it up
Yea, I remember when it was just Mozilla browser. (I’ve been an internet user since around 2000-2001-ish.)
I’ve been a Firefox main since before it was even called Firefox :D
As much as it lagged behind in speed in the early days of Chrome, back then Chrome didn’t have anywhere near to Firefox’s amazing selection of addons, many of which were essential to my workflow.
That also meant that I hated Firefox’s switch to WebExtensions, as it gutted most of the addons I used at the time, and it took them many years to get back as many features as possible (which of course has never been all the original features).
I even switched to Firefox ESR, then when that dropped support too, to Waterfox for a few years to retain the ability to use classic addons. But eventually it became too much hassle, and I have been a Firefox mainbranch user again since 2021 :)
For the handful of websites that only work in Chrome (or when I need to test my own websites), I’ve been using Brave in recent years. It’s weirdly into crypto nonsense, but at least those features can be disabled. But if anyone knows a better Google-less Chromium browser, pls let me know!
My main game for the last 1-2 years has been Genshin Impact, and a cursory googling says that it does use kernel level anti cheat.
I never tried Linux, but I consider it every few years. However if I weigh that
there are simply too many factors that would make Linux to be more hassle, have less performance or downright impossible to serve as a substitute for Windows, while for me personally not really offering any practical benefits over Windows.
This is unfortunately not the case for most trans people. I think it’s quite rare that a trans person would consistently be able to pass (=blend in) before HRT.
There are some trans people who are also intersex, which is the condition when one’s biological sex (without medical intervention) doesn’t fit neatly in either the male or female boxes. But most trans people aren’t intersex and about half of intersex people aren’t trans.
Edit: But I do agree with your main point, there’s simply no way an app like this could identify trans people with the vast range of facial features humans have. It will both exclude many cis women and allow many trans women, as Giggle did a few years ago.
