Zuckerberg said on Joe Rogan that he wants more “masculine energy workplace”, where the leaders “celebrate aggression a bit more”. Makes sense he was talking about executive boots all over office worker faces.

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a sonnet about the love of pumpkin pie.

Notice I didn’t say anything about any kind of operation, treatment, or surgery.

Transitioning can be as simple as changing your name and wardrobe.

All I said is that it’s valid to not conform to gender expectations, and transphobes are liars and bad people, which as both true statements. If you take issue with either of those statements, you are telling on yourself, and your dishonest, low-intelligence concern trolling about “treatments”.

I don’t hurt minors, that’s a pathetic try. Transphobes will make a big deal about protecting children but they are too busy banning trans people from serving in the military while children literally freeze to death in casino parking lots. Transphobes are untrustworthy, deceitful, bad people.

Let me set something straight real quick –

Pushing ideology: forcing someone to conform to a set of social standards that you believe should fit the body parts they were born with

Not pushing ideology: validating that they have the freedom to feel or act differently than the cultural expectation

The real “gender ideology” was cishet gender ideology this entire time.

The 30% percent cut, stealing money from devs

This is a pretty spicy take. Let’s consider two possibilities:

1. Game devs choose to distribute independently, and sell their game for $20. They sell 100,000 copies and make $2 million in revenue, and keep the entire $2 million.

2. Game devs choose to distribute via Steam, promote it with a 50% off sale, it goes to the Steam front page, sells 500,000 copies at only $10 each, for a total $5 million in revenue. Steam takes $1.5 million and the devs take $3.5 million.

In scenario 2 the devs make 75% more than in scenario 1. Did Valve steal from the game devs?

Is there like a word that stands for, “I can’t be perfect so I gave up trying to be better”?

In Cyberpunk 2077 the major antagonists are the corporations, although the game is not as punk as the name would suggest as you spend spend about the same amount of time working for them, or even for the police or government.

Because under the hood x11 code is such a hacky mess the developers found it easier to start from scratch than add new features like HDR and VRR to x11.

If new features don’t matter to you, there’s still plenty of distros and DE’s and WM’s that ship x11 and will continue for a very long time.

Which part of that is relevant to the conversation so far?

To make one criticism of one event isn’t to say that “China bad”. That’s really black and white thinking, and comes off incredibly insecure.

Not dodging any cult accusations when you would rather take the conversation in a dozen different directions than just admit, “yeah, killing a couple hundred civilians is a massacre”.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of real videos exist, in which case it would be really easy to condemn them as gross evil western propaganda. It’s easy to condemn Zionist propoganda as gross and evil.

You know, because I’m not in a weird cult that makes me defend mass murder of civilians.

Yes the US has committed numerous atrocious, massacres, and genocides.

You know what I wouldn’t do? Make a YouTube video playing defense for the US government saying that any of those aren’t exactly what they are.

His proof that there wasn’t a massacre is that the death toll reported by the mayor is only on the same order of magnitude as the Tulsa Race Massacre?

For someone so adamant on criticizing propaganda the call is really coming from inside the house.

Dictators love the poorly educated.

Diaspora is the fediverse version of Facebook. It hasn’t taken off quite like lemmy or mastodon and it’s much older, but still seems to be in active development.

Convincing family is hard, I have a lot of them moved over to Linux already, but they don’t want to quit Facebook :(
