I would give so much money to Patreons if I wasn’t broke myself 😅

Honestly, I’m murdering the productivity of every channel I watch anyways with uBlock origin and sponsorBlock, so I don’t think it’d be much worse

I just want more things on Peertube.

Honestly you should ! Unless you want to do crazy stuff you actually don’t need to learn the entire documentation.

I was able to setup full disk encryption with encrypted boot loader pretty easily, there are great tutorials out there. I’m going to figure out Secure Boot next.

The nice thing is that once you’ve managed to do something, it’s in your config forever. My main problem with Arch was the absence of rollbacks, and having to remember all the stuff you do when installing it that you inevitably forget before the next time your system breaks and needs a reinstall. There’s none of that with Nix, and it’s awesome.

Now I’m not a shill but I did switch from Arch to Nix (because my Bluetooth was irremediably broken on Arch, and no one responded to any of my posts) and it’s honestly a lot less complicated than the documentation suggests 😆

The config file thing works better for NixOS, but the même is still very funny !

The sadder thing is that Chinese social credit hasn’t actually even been implemented, and doesn’t seem like it’s going to. There are only limited local experiments, most of which are allegedly largely irrelevant.

Whereas there are multiple credit score companies currently tracking literally everyone who has a bank account.

I would say yes. The only time you don’t is when I already agree with you, but that’s because I (hopefully) already know the good argument.

I don’t believe in “common sense”, that’s just the biases someone already has. Some of them correct, some of them not, all unchecked therefore all invalid as a basis for anything.

You can’t be sure he wasn’t set on fire by someone else ! Plus he might have changed his mind, or extinguish on his own later than you’d have out him out, staying alive and suffering even more.

I’d maybe make an exception for someone calmly sitting as they burn, as I think the Buddhist monks who did this in China were. In those cases it’s pretty easy to see they wanted to be on fire.

But a flaming flailing guy needs to be extinguished, whatever the reason he is on fire.

That’s why I personally try very hard to only rely on POSIX stuff, even when it’s massively inconvenient. The only thing I haven’t gotten around to replacing yet is GNU make.

Does it ? I thought it was never completed !

On the other hand, if you want a microkernel that does exist, there’s Mach. But I don’t think you can replace Linux with it 😆

If ISO says there was a year 0, there was. There’s only one thing better than perfect : standardized !

Well, I really hope that doesn’t affect Vinegar

( Safari extension that replaces YouTube’s horrible video player with the system’s default.

It’s great, it also allows you to force Best Quality, very useful on platforms where YouTube defaults to 480p for no reason like iPadOS )

This is pointless nitpicking. I agree with the definition, but presenting it this way is not useful. None of them think menopause removes your sex, that is not what anyone means by “sex change”. Not us, not them. I’m not lending credence to anything.

“Sex” as it is usually defined is the ability to either be fertilized and bear children, or fertilize someone who can. To my knowledge, no human who has ever possessed either ability has ever possessed the other one. We are getting close to making one of those possible, though (in the MtF direction).

This is what they mean when they say sex can’t change, and this is what they think you’re telling them is possible.

The other things you mention, which may scientifically be part of sex, is not what anyone means in casual conversation. Those may change, voluntarily or not, yes. But the main thing people mean when they talk about someone’s “sex” cannot change yet, although it can be lost, or never obtained at all.

Gotta sell those climate un-changing pills somehow 🤷🏻‍♀️

Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet (meaning, reproductive sex). I do hope science gets there though !

I don’t even think anyone can change their gender ! Some people’s gender changes on its own, but I’ve just always been a woman ; and most trans people are like me.

The thing we actually disagree about is whether someone’s gender and biological sex can be separate. But it’s just a scientific fact that they are.

I hope the being from the future answers with a number, because “all of them” could mean “one” and that’s the actual thing I’m worried about 😆

I always patch them with cobblestone so next time they only break the surface !

I would do obsidian but I have better things to do than mine obsidian 😂

Of course ! An entire deck without a lavatory is bound to be some kind of OSHA violation.
