because it’s not about being “pro-life”, it’s about controlling women’s bodies
hello! I’m Chloé, a nerdy ace trans gal :3
this is my lemmy account that I use sometimes. I am also on the microblogging side of the fedi at @carotte@toot.cat :3
pronouns are she/her
because it’s not about being “pro-life”, it’s about controlling women’s bodies
to clarify: the game monopoly plagiarized was created to mock landlords (the game in question is The Landlord’s Game)
because they’re trying to manufacture consent for a war with Iran
i’ll be honest, considering the extreme complicity from the israeli public to the genocide their government is doing, i strongly doubt this
id rather be using whatsapp, honestly
it’s not good either, obviously, but messenger still collects a buttload more data
(and iirc whatsapp encrypts both group chats and DMs, on messenger it’s only DMs)
you have it backwards, israel is an american puppet; not the other way around
still works tho, why would america restrain its imperialist genocidal outpost? creating chaos in the Middle East is its raison d’être
imagine being the person forced to use FB messenger because your friends are on it and won’t bother installing anything else
i am that person 😖
happy lemmy anniversary, from someone who shares it by pure coincidence!
not really, at the end of the day im just an asshole with an internet connection
i get that products for niche markets will be overpriced because there’s little economies of scale, i just wish the product you’d get out of it was good
the framework laptops are pretty expensive for their specs, but the specs are still good, you’ll end up with a good laptop, and it’s repairable! to many people (including me), that makes it worth the price
but when your phone that’s more expensive than Famously More Of A Luxury Fashion Statement Than Tech Device phone has midrange at best specs and a soon-to-be-obsolete cellular connection, why even bother?
of course, you can run linux on other phones too (and big thanks to all the devs that manage to make that work!)
but most linux-first phones (and tablets) are either like this, super expensive with bad specs, or devkits from Pine64
“budget phone” that’s more expensive than a new flagship iphone
and has ancient hardware
and doesn’t have 5G
i sure wonder why linux phones aren’t taking off!!!
and neither is Greenland, iirc
if the alt text is “They’re The Same”, then i see it! it might work differently on some clients yea
for example, i think on the web interface the alt text only shows if you’re using a screen reader, but i may be wrong
for an image in a comment, just put the text in the square brackets at the very beginning!
normally it should look like this:

you can go back to add alt text in a comment by editing it too!
i think it is, look at the knobs on the top of the washing machine. they’re nonsensical
I think people in the replies acting fake surprised are missing the point.
it is important news, because many people see LLMs as black boxes of superintelligence (almost as if that’s what they’re being marketed as!)
you and i know that’s bullshit, but the students asking chatgpt to solve their math homework instead of using wolfram alpha doesn’t.
so yes, it is important to demonstrate that this “artificial intelligence” is so much not an intelligence that it’s getting beaten by 1979 software on 1977 hardware
they already do! (sorta)
if you buy games through heroic, the heroic devs get a percentage of the sale
Tell me you are a monolinugal English speaker without telling me.
tu penses mon nom d’utilisatrice vient de quelle langue?
of course not every language has the same grammatical genders, but if you already speak a language with them, you don’t have to learn the concept, you already get it
when learning Spanish in school, grammatical gender was really not an issue, cause i already speak french (to be fair, french and spanish will often gender the same words the same way, which greatly helps ofc)
to me, it was much harder to grasp the distinction between ser and estar, for example. two fundamental verbs that, in french, get translated to the same thing
i mean, no, the reason english is the default language of the world is due to (british, and then american) imperialism
french and latin were once the default languages of europe for the same reason
and how hard a language is to learn is kinda irrelevant, because it will always depend on what language(s) you already know. for monolingual speakers of english, it’s hard to learn a language with grammatical genders, but if you already speak a language with those, that won’t be a problem
tbh a 20$ game isn’t any less capitalist
