pride is a protest. it’s not a zoo - we aren’t here to be a spectacle, we aren’t here to be a tourist attraction for the state or federal governments

we are here to fight for our rights and equality - which we still don’t have, despite some of the white picket fence crowd trying to say that since we have marriage it’s over

police are the tool by which the majority oppresses the minority. as a symbol, police marching at mardi gras changes what it is - from a protest to an event - to a zoo for their amusement… their involvement is approval from the majority that what we’re doing is sanitised enough, is “ordinary” enough in their eyes

are there queer police? of course! can they be proud of themselves, and of their job? again, of course! but when they represent the police force, in uniform, they represent a group whose purpose is directly against the protest that is the whole point of the event

it’s fucking nasty aye

not updating it is a stretch - a lot of people (myself included) are just sick of mozilla announcing all this slop like AI and adtech which we believe are counter to mozilla’s entire purpose, whilst leveraging firefox to add “features” that are almost entirely related to said slop rather than focusing on what people actually care about - a solid browser that competes with chrome

everything of value that mozilla does directly relies on firefox. firefox gives them a seat at the table with google, apple, microsoft, etc to fight for users on standards and the future of the web

and it’s still incredibly computationally expensive

you mentioned islam in another comment, and i know very little about the rules related to this marital situation in context so please forgive some potential assumptions/ignorance and i’d be delighted to be corrected on any points im assuming incorrectly here:

i assume that it’s 1 husband 4 wives, but that the wives aren’t allowed 4 husbands… in this case, it seems asymmetric in terms of, almost value between genders i guess?

i’m a gay man, and we often have polyamorous relationships, but in that case it’s very symmetric: anyone can have a relationship with anyone, so everyone is entitled to the same kinds of things

i’m wondering how that makes you feel as a women? you’ve said you’re very happy with the arrangement - i guess i’m wondering how you square the difference in entitlements? both for yourself, and in the relationship

*edit: also interested in how the relationship handles him wanting a new wife: how (if?) that’s negatiated, and i guess whether you find your experience with that to be typical among people you know

and economies of scale applies to electricity grids more than a lot of things, so QLD should be doing better than SA… it’s not like they provide that electricity for free

git is exactly as unfriendly as a distributed source control system that doesn’t shy away from power user commands needs to be

… sure it’s difficult to comprehend, but yknow what’s worse? getting into a bullshit situation and having broken garbage repos in every other “user friendly” system on the planet

never giving out encryption keys is another matter.

but that part isn’t even relevant really… transport encryption isn’t per-user - nobody (meta, google, apple, banks) gives out transport encryption keys… and their “secret” chat bullshit is completely irrelevant because nobody actually uses it

i have literally never heard the term seppo

yes and no: the government already has systems in place that know your age, or they can pay 3rd parties to have maintain records… so yes kinda you’d have to verify with them or they’d already have them, but you wouldn’t need to do that for each platform: it’d likely act like a social login (“login with facebook” etc) where you just tap a button and have the service attest to identity details without providing the identity itself

man if only someone had the power to just get the fuck out of ukraine

good for information research and technical help

i’d say they are good precursors for information research… never trust them, but use them to find terms to search for reliable sources

and that all requires organisation, and organisation isn’t free - in fact the structures required to organise things like that are more expensive than the cost actually spent on the problem … you don’t just up and build houses - that’s not how any of this works… ask anyone that’s built a house, and they’re not even doing it on a large scale where complexity goes up significantly, or dealing with distributing money in a manner that they have to makes sure their expenditures are justified rather than just being able to make decisions for themselves

exactly how i do it, and i make sure 50% of my professional life i’m sacrificing income to work for not for profits. i want my donation to be the most effective it can be, and making sure that people have roofs over their head isn’t going to happen with my spare change

most redirect less than 10% of what they receive towards the homeless

this is a very very bad way to think about charitable giving. if your aim is to get as much money to solving homelessness as possible, you want advertising and marketing campaigns, you want efficiency (but people working on a problem is “overhead” whilst their solutions to make things cheaper mean less money that “makes it to” solving the problem at hand)

this video does an excellent job at describing the problem

DNS will only leak domains (and subdomains); not paths

murr is a reaction that furries (often ironically these days) give when something has sexual appeal… probably onomatopoeia for a purr, idk

of the same vintage as “owo what’s this”

if only they had some way to ram an unwanted LLM into the windows handheld experience

Ohhhh no, poor Microsoft can’t further their monopoly until GOOGLE comply with THEIR MONOPOLY-BREAKING court orders! Poor, poor MONOPOLIES

ftfy, i’m not sure which is worse

(well, one because it’s factually untrue… but…)

oh yeah! it was in the background when he did that interview where he forgot the mic was live and said “voters are all dumb cunts god i can’t wait to get my hands on all that sweet tax money so i can piss it away on tropical holidays and boats”
