What hills are you dying on?
-
. The race of a voice actor doesn't matter
. It is possible to wear yoga pants because there comfy
. You don't need to shower everyday
. It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans
. Monty Python is very overrated
- LTS Linux distros are not good for desktop usage and terrible for beginners. (And for servers too but a bit less ig).
- The current distribution model of Linux apps is garbage. The concept of package maintainers, in most cases, is just redundant, duplicated work.
- Bash is horrible and relying on it for anything else than personal scripts gets messy really fast.
- Having a standard "platform" in Linux is key.
- SystemD is actually good, not perfect but very powerful.
- Apps not using Portals are a crime.
Obviously written by NixOS sectarian.

Using "themselves" for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.
It's "themself." (Unless they're plural.)
Also, "Latinx" is performative white ally cringe. It's not pronounceable in Spanish. Use "Latine." -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.

Don't say "acronym" when you mean "abbreviation"!
"Acronym" specifically refers to an initialism that forms a new word. For example,
- scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus)
- NASA (pronounced like a word - you don't say "ehn eh ess eh").
It's acro- (height) -nym (word) - a word that exists on top of / above other words.
In contrast "NIH" is not an acronym because it isn't pronounced or read as a word. It's appropriate to say, "'NIH' is an abbreviation" or "'NIH' is an initialism". But saying "'NIH' is an acronym" is wrong!

People without empathy shouldn't have the right to lead people (politics, work, ...).
There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.
Russia should be denuclearised and split up.
Russia should be denuclearised and split up.
I agree, but the hard part is how. Splitting up Germany required winning a World War. The next World War will be nuclear. Mass starvation from nuclear winter will result in the death of the vast majority of humans. That's too horrible a price to pay.

Being vegan is a moral base line.
no, it's not

Inflicting pain and suffering is bad, especially if done for selfish reasons, like pleasure (and tbh if someone were to disagree with that, I'd dont want to talk to them). Exploiting animals is exactly that, taste pleasure to be exact.
eating meat doesn't inflict any pain or suffering though.

There are knights that may disagree.

I believe you are referring to the Thinkpad clit.

I believe they are asking why should it matter the VA race but not the race of the person who wrote the character, or designed the character, or animated the character.
The only reason it's possible in voice acting is because actors have unions. I'd see nothing wrong with other labor unions demanding that studios hire minorities to write, design, and animate too
We should be expanding the standard, not tearing it down.

SystemD is pretty decent. I think the logging system needs some serious work, especially for server apps. NGL, I kind miss the console just shitting out files and letting me deal with it. I had to make a lot of changes to make really chatty stuff stop using system logs and handle it on their own.

I've said it somewhere earlier today, I'll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.
But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.
Vista was either magic or crap depending on your hardware/software needs. Almost no middle ground. I was supporting about 100 PC's at the time, and it was a nightmare for work, but I enjoyed running it myself.
From a corporate standpoint, skipping it for win7 was a serious win for IT.
On the upside, the latest Samsung UI on android has something pretty close to Vista's old task manager.

Python sucks.
Not only is it extremely inefficient, it is also a pain in the ass to work with if you have to use APIs that heavily rely on dynamic type wrapping and don't provide stubs. Static analysis via Pylance is not possible then and you're basically poking around in the dark, increasing the difficulty enourmously to get to know such an API. Even worse if there isn't even a halfway decent documentation.
What always pissed me off is the indentation/codeblock style. Most languages you can write in notepad and be fine, if you don't use a proper editor in python, you're going to spend time hunting down indent issues.

I actually love Vista. It's what made me switch to Linux!
I use NixOS btw

We should stop using time zones
Check this out. I'm a business with at least one office in every US state. You want to know when my New York office opens so you can come by. Instead of seeing "Offices are open 9 AM to 5 PM" You now need to check every office... by state.. by city? Time zones would be helpful even if we all used GMT, so that you could easily determine which time zone a business is in to set a reasonable time to be open.
DST can fuck off though.
That's a pretty specific use though. A case like this only makes sense because we all somehow decided 9AM - 5PM is a standard business time, when society could benefit from having different business/services open at different times.

Ok but literally all of my Latinx friends say that they use the word Latinx, and it was popularized in South America and it is still used there frequently (though as I understand it, -u is becoming the more fashionable gender-neutral ending these days). I actually think
“Latinx” is performative white ally cringemight be what's performative cringe. -
no, it's not
oh but it is

How are you going to get vitamin B12 while being vegan? As far as I know it's not possible.

Must be nice being rich enough to eat what ever you feel like having. Some of us are not so fortunate and have to make do with what is available.
Assuming fish don't have feelings, it is fine. But if fish have 0.1% the moral weight of a human being, can you say you're worth more than 1000 fish?

I was about to comment and correct the poster that it was called a nipple, but you are correct. its a clit.

I absolutely hate the package management in it. I can't tell you how many times I've found a cool python project, downloaded it from GitHub then tried to install requirements. And it turns into a huge nightmare of trying to find compatible packages. It'll be like you need wheel v3.1.0 so I try to install that,.then it's like no you can't do that because it's not compatible with numpy v79.84.1 that you have installed. So then you search and try to find which version is compatible, then install they go to install wheel again,.and it's like no you need pandas,.so you install pandas but it like sorry I'm not compatible with the version of numpy you installed.
I'm a newb still but was put off by having to use "Conda" to manage a ton of virtual Python environments ultra-specific to the applications they were designed for. Blegh!
