This culture war shit is pathetic. “DEI” has become a dogwhistle (if one can even call it that at this point) for “I don’t like black people/brown people/women”, and they all shamelessly parrot it with their whole chest. Good on the PSF for doing the right thing and calling this garbage out for what it is.

From what I can find online, it seems like it’s unlikely that particular term was originally meant to refer to slave masters and it moreso referred to the head of household.

Wow, this is my first time learning this. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it written so I assumed it was spelled “jipped” and never made the connection.

That’s just called arguing in good faith.

Assuming I’m not mistaken, doesn’t QLED actually rely on quantum effects to produce color?

That’s a good point; I had overlooked that as a category. That said, it is sort of the odd one out in terms of “immutable traits” (notwithstanding Jews specifically, at least when referring to ethnicity rather than religion).

Generally speaking, hate crimes are only applicable to crimes motivated by a hatred for an immutable trait. Social or political ideology isn’t immutable, so it wouldn’t be protected.

Um… no? Literally the first removed comment is for using a slur, a good chunk of them are blatant spam, and while others are maybe borderline for personal attacks I definitely wouldn’t call the mods who removed them “power-tripping”.

Middle English is certainly difficult to understand, but most words still bear some resemblance to modern English. I think it would probably be more like a native German speaker trying to understand a heavy Bavarian dialect, or at worst a Dutch speaker trying to understand the same.

Gateway is a special case since it connects two systems and on Wayland it uses the scaling of the “server” system rather than the host. This is a pretty unique class of issue, at least in my experience. To be honest, I’m not even sure if it works correctly on X11.

I honestly haven’t had that experience at all with Framework, at least on Plasma Wayland. All of the apps I use play very nice with scaling (with the exception of apps through JetBrains Gateway, but that’s a different can of worms).

Have you actually worked in a programming role before? Googling things is absolutely the norm. Most people don’t know every single in and out of every library/framework they’re using, especially when learning new ones. This goes double for more complex or sprawling frameworks where it may be less than obvious how to perform a particular task from the documentation alone or when running into undocumented limitations or bugs (although admittedly an in-IDE assistant won’t be too useful for that anyway).

So I will gloss over, see if it’s addressed to me, of not I will probably wait until it becomes my problem to react/reply

Tbh I would rather have someone do this not realizing I’m expecting a reply from them than to reply only to some of it, because when the latter happens it’s usually like pulling teeth to get a response to the rest.

Out of curiosity, what region are you in? I live in a city of ~80,000 in the northeastish US and I’m not even sure it’s possible to be more than 5 or 10 minutes from a grocery store here.

That’s assuming the key and message are entirely independent. If you or the recipient isthe type of person or doing the types of things that would attract surveillance from a nation state (because realistically that’s the one of the only scenarios where non-esoteric privacy practices might not cut it), it’s not unrealistic that they’d intercept both your digital and physical mail and would be able to correlate them. At least with public key encryption, the private key is never actually in transit.

This is how all modern cryptography works. A deterministic cipher is functionally no different from pig Latin when it comes to actual security. An electronic solution like public key cryptography is infinitely more secure. If you’re especially paranoid you can generate the cryptotext locally and send it by email; that would be much safer than anything you could achieve by hand.

Unless something’s gone over my head here, this is off by around 6 orders of magnitude.

Putting aside the braggadocio here, find someone that makes you happy and that you enjoy spending time with. But also, try to quit the habit of framing human relationships in clinical, strictly biological language. It’s frankly quite weird and off-putting and comes across as antisocial.

It sounds like you ruined it for yourself. Judging from all of your replies and especially this one in particular, you seem to lack the ability to take basic accountability for your own actions. I would suggest reflecting on the cause-and-effect in the anecdotes you’ve shared and try to visualize how they might played out were the roles reversed and other people spoke to/treated you the way that you describe treating them. Even if you have some degree of sociopathy (I’m not a mental health professional by any means), you should still be able to reflect on these situations on an intellectual and objective level and consider that you might be the cause of these conflicts.

What’s your problem?
