Yeah I was a complete asshole. Not an excuse, but this was after about 2-dozen people sexually harassed me, so I was not at my best. And I will apologize any time for anyone who is hurt or offended.

That said, I was also speaking to people who started out as rape apologists in the context of Russian soldiers and Ukrainians families. If you're pretty cool with kids getting raped by soldiers, but you're offended that someone didn't memorize 4 different neo-pronouns, that is 100% a place of privilege. Am I wrong on that?

Edit: also, as you are a trans person, recognizing that you are in a world where your safety is often a razor-thin line, anything I said that you felt unsafe around, I do deeply apologize.

Hexbear also weaponizes accusations of transphobia the same way Israel weaponizes accusations of anti-semitism.

Now Hexbear hasn't done any genocide yet, but it does loove to talk about executing people, many and frequently.

I'm been slowly migrating all my computers over to immutable distros, either silverblue or universal blue.

Once you get used to the container paradigm, you can do all your customization and easily copy it over to other machines without fear of breaking anything.

Plus, having automatic updates and knowing that you'll always boot into a reliable machine, it's the best.

Once you have distrobox set up with an arch container, you have access to the aur no matter what distro ypu're running.

Edge does nearly all those things now too. Edge and Vivaldi are both closed source and yet another Chromium under the hood.

I'll pass ty.

French press is the only way I have to make coffee at home, and I make one every day.

It's called humor, it's not supposed to be taken literally.

Discovery also had hologram communication technology that I guess was also a secret? Starfleet went back to flatscreens for everything and didn't use holograms again until the 24th century.

If it was just one thing, okay, but there were such numerous inconsistencies, it was like the writers and designers did not care about trek, they were writing a sci-fi show with the trek name slapped on top.

It's totally possible to respect the heritage of old sci-fi - look at The Mandalorian and Andor - maintaining consistency with the old retro sci-fi aesthetic actually elevates them above what a modern redesign would have done.

Voidlinux

Nobody else can tell that the end product is any different, but you know you're different and special and that's what matters.

Funny that I was just watching Bill Burr on Conan say the same thing about Steve Jobs like 15 years ago. People treat him like he's Nikola Tesla level inventor, but he's really just ordering around the nameless/faceless engineers who do the actual invention.

I think collectively we're getting burned out on hero worship or the lone genius myth. Every advancement is a collective effort.
