If I cut out everyone in my life that is 99% of the time a staunch ally, but still eats at Chick-Fil-A, my life would be very, very empty. No one is ever going to be a perfect ally / comrade, even queer people. I feel like it’s especially telling that the person got so heated because they want to be an ally and don’t want people to abandon them because they played a single stupid fucking game. Especially because there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, it’s easy to death-of-the-author JKR without realizing the direct transphobia in the game. A lot of the direct transphobia in Hogwarts Legacy isn’t obvious (like misgendering the token trans in the game files) and most people don’t know about it. Does that suck? Yeah. But that doesn’t mean those people are transphobes or bad faith actors.

I get that we need to have a sharp eye to make sure bad faith actors don’t fly under the radar, but false positives do a lot of harm too. I really feel like this came down more to Hexbear doing what Hexbear does and setting the entire thread on fire than it points to transphobia on the programming.dev admin’s side. Of course people are going to get stupid when you’re getting insulted, flamed, and spammed with stupid-ass emoji. If they’re willing to defed from Hexbear and acknowledge the direct transphobia in the game, that would go a long way.

It gets really tiresome to have to hop instances multiple times, though…There’s scripts you can run for it but an official way to migrate would be nice.

It doesn’t and Hexbear trolls.

Across three different organizations, I’ve watched five members of IT fired for their arrogance. If you’re interested in doing this, simply hire an attorney, bring the smart person into the room with the arrogant idiot, and make it clear that someone in that room is not going to work for the organization in two weeks, and then explain the situation.

I don’t understand this. What happens when you do that?

+1 for Bitwarden, wife and I use it and it works well. It lets you securely share passwords for free.

Has anyone tried Ozempic? Like…at least right now it sounds like a miracle.

That looks both fun and painful AF. Kicks are no joke.

I hate the menthol ones, but the ricola herb drops are the shit. Obviously they aren’t going to numb you up as hard as the menthol ones, but they feel helpful without being overpower.

The convenient thing about the LGBTQ+ community though is that we can pop up anywhere, at any time. The perpetual boogieman.

They can’t exactly answer that honestly.

I don’t think you understand what rural means. There were people who had to travel 1 hr+ by car to get to the local grocery store where I came from. An ebike isn’t appropriate for places where you may need to travel 60+ miles, and/or in snow or bad conditions that might persist for weeks, and/or in ungodly hot / humid conditions that also persist for weeks. All three of those are true for decent swaths of the year in my area.

“Pick me!”

Hear me out…

our local pizza place has something similar to the cookies and cheese. It’s actually good. I have no idea why it works but it does.

For real, I think I’ve gone through the “It sucks that never came out” -> “They’re still working on that?!” -> “It sucks that never came out” cycle like three times. The first blog post is in 2018 and it states then that it’s been in dev for several years. It’s never going to see the light of day, or if it does, it’s going to be a conceptually outdated, buggy mess that’s barely duct taped together. It’s just so incredibly hard to dev for that long across multiple engines without it turning into a disaster.

I’d love to be proven wrong, though…

Ubuntu was always the answer I gave, but it feels like they’ve fallen out of favor with the whole snap debacle.

Yeah…this is going to be a super unpopular opinion, but there needs to be a designated distro for new users who aren’t sure what to go with. If someone asks “What distro should I-” the rest doesn’t matter. We just agree on one distro and that’s it. Once they have a reason to look for another distro, they’ll have the knowledge to find it themselves.

You have to make the first step easy.
