By Trek’s logic, Tuvix’s identical copy lives in an alternative universe of some sort. And that’s really the only way to justify all this.

Ed: Also the “Oh wait, they can’t speak so someone has to speak for them” has some interesting implications, doesn’t it.

How about outside Trek… Have you seen The Orville? At least the first season is more laugh than serious. Also Firefly.

Ugh, flashbacks to KDE 4…

I only really watch foss stuff, which should be exciting, but I get tired as it’s always much of the same news:

• a new private messenger (like we don’t have 500 of those already)
• a new app/program/distro that does the same thing as 10 other ones
• a “simple” app/program that doesn’t do much of anything, just like 10 other ones of the same kind, will get 3 updates and then die
• something for the terminal for terminal nerds that could really use a gui but shutup you dirty normie
• a library that sounds cool but nobody except maybe some corporation will ever use it
• announcement of a complete rewrite, which means we’ll never hear of the project again

So I’m not exactly thrilled about anything either, tho for every different reasons

What’s a huus sabatage and what’s posting it?

This scene made me wonder how effective recycling is in Trek. If a pocket watch can be recycled to make a meal or boots, well damn, that’s like 500% effectiveness?

So they can make new shuttles just by recycling old shuttles or anything else, and always have more shit left over.

I don’t think FairPhone customers are exactly regular consumer population, and there was a strong backlash against removing the jack in fp4 (and introducing ewaste wireless buds). So either the people we buying the phones anyway, or the company has so many customers they don’t give a shit.

You drank too much Apple koolaid

It’s even wilder that they didn’t learn the lesson after fp4. Did people really just complain and then buy it anyway? How many phones can they sell that they can afford to piss off their customers like this? I just don’t understand how is the smartphone market so borked.

In the sense that vegans want vegan food available in vegan stores? Cause that’s the equivalent of wanting a headphone jack in a phone from a company that sells their products on all these promises.

I’d say the change in Calculator from W7 to W8 was more than cosmetic. Never have I stared at my 27" 2.5k monitor so stupidly than when I first launched calculator on W8 and that thing blew up over the entire screen with no proper way to leave it on top of other windows.

I think that’s when it really had to be clear to everyone that MS has no idea how humans use computers.

I have a feeling all of your sorts are just reading of a script. Some C-grade armchair psychologist has made some half-assed observation 20 years ago and now the likes of you have nothing else to argue with when someone calls out your insecurities.

Anyway, you’re no fun, bye

Yea, by being actually good.

(To be clear, I’m joking. Kinda.)

Female as a noun sounds more formal, distant and depersonalizing than woman. Language is all about nuance.

Well, we’re talking about some random anonymous person on the internet. I think not being personal is quite valid, especially since nowadays you never know how they identify.

In fact, I do find it odd how first people were being offended by others assuming their identity, so some circles just began to use more general and broad terms, and now that’s offensive too.

I tend to refer to singular people on the internet as “person”, and I have been corrected by them or.others, i.e. “I’m a woman!” Like, geez, I don’t care or need to know, to me you’re just a bunch of words, you may be a chatbot for what I know.

Haha now that you put it like that, you make them seem even worse. Indeed, people who are so sensitive that they can’t stand anything, are also aggravating enough that other people don’t want to be around them.

I still don’t see how one is offensive and one isn’t, when they describe the exact same thing.

It’s as if programmers (noun) were offended when someome says they program (verb) or vice versa.

Yea I see how you may not want to be reduced to just a word describing some quality of yours, but come on, going to war over it is really stupid.

TIL all doctors, military, police etc. are incels.

Are you ok with calling men “males”?

People forget that there are also girls, teenagers and possibly other variants you may want to specify (plus all the male ones etc.).

By using female/male you cover those bases.

Besides, have you never seen internet posts like in AITA or such using F/M?

Never mind all the professional language (e.g. “military age male”).

Just, come on. Getting insulted over bullshit.

I’m just gonna pile on that snowflakes are stupid and deserve the same kind of treatment - blocks and bans.
