If you do something like refer to all white people or all Germans as Nazis then yeah, in that context it’s a slur. But just referring to members of the Nazi party, definitely not. Extreme far right folks, personally no, I don’t view it as a slur there. Some people may disagree (probably the extreme far right people being called Nazis).

apart from spaces

I really can’t even begin to properly explain this because it’s just so many layers of intuition. No, you absolutely cannot have a line break in your name. That’s not a letter. That said, I’m fully prepared for someone to give me an example of some writing system that uses line breaks for unique purposes apart from spaces.

Mc’Dole is what they said, not McDo’le.

They’re saying that in the same way terrorist is not always a slur but is used as a slur sometimes, Zionist can be used as a slur. I think it’s a fair take. It’s odd to specifically list Zionist as a contextual slur when you can just say no slurs.

I don’t know if I fully agree but that’s their argument as I understand it.

Edit: Idk why people are down voting me trying to explain someone’s argument.

By mathy I mean related to math

Especially when sites like Reddit/StackExchange use admin to mean employee and moderator to mean volunteer community leader.

Whenever my wife and I are talking about our washer and drier we joke that it has “13 left” (instead of “13 minutes left”) because the UI only says 13 and it often goes up again lol.

I’m not interested in exploring 100% of content either, but I hate when games artificially block content off. For narrative reasons, I don’t care. I don’t mind the idea of mutually exclusive companions based on choices in game. But something as minor as gender at character creation? Come on now!

If it were me, I’d do something like not really focus on what their actual “real” sexuality is unless it is somehow relevant to the plot. Then if it is so something like make them a 1 or a 5 on the Kinsey scale instead of a 0 or a 6.

I don’t think games should be required to do, I’m not trying to force some sort of universal bi/pan agenda. I’m just saying it personally annoys me when I am locked out of pursuing a character just because of the gender I happen to be playing as because I typically don’t play games multiple times. It also annoys me when games don’t allow you to pursue all characters. Like in BG3, as far as I know, all characters are bi/pan but not all are poly. The game forced me to pick between Astarion and Karlach, for example. I put 100 hours or so into the game before I quit. I’m not willing to put over 100 more hours into it just to see what would’ve been different. It’s just a waste of my time.

An alternative approach is only having “sex scene” type content gated behind gender, but everything else can still be seen by friends. E.g., anything a character would eventually tell a lover they still tell close friends. Which is still sort of annoying but not really as bad because you can easily just look up a sex scene, but experiencing things like dialogue and special quests in game isn’t comparable to looking it up on YouTube.

You can do that while still not locking any content behind gender though.

Yeah, I’m usually only playing games once. I don’t want to be forced to replay just to see content like that.

I still think asexual characters should be “romanceable”. Like, there shouldn’t be increased-friendship related content behind gender.

The closest thing to DEI I can even begin to think of in Frost punk 1 was that you could manufacture prosthetics for amputees.

Any game that doesn’t make all NPCs “opportunistically bisexual” pisses me off. Quit locking content behind my character’s pronouns.

Moderators don’t have to come from the instance the community is hosted on necessarily.

Every time I’m doing anything with Python I ask myself if Java’s tooling is this complicated or I’m just used to it by now. I think a big part of the weirdness is that a lot of Python tooling is tied to the Python installation whereas in Java things like Maven and Gradle are separate. In addition, I think dependencies you install get tied to that Python installation, while in Java they just are in a cache for Maven/Gradle. And in the horrible scenario where you need to use different versions of Maven/Gradle (one place I was at specifically needed Maven 3.0.3 for one project and a different for a different, don’t ask, it’s dumb and their own fault for setting it up that way) at least they still have one common cache for everything.

I guess it also helps that with Java you (often) don’t need platform specific jar files. But Python is often used as an easy and dynamic scripting interface over more performant, native code. So you don’t really run into things like “this artifact doesn’t have a 64 bit arm version for python 2” often with Java. But that’s not a fault of Python’s tooling, it’s just the reality of how it’s used.

Isn’t conda specifically for mathy things?
