By the time we see the nova in the coming days, another ~75 will have happened since the one we’ll be seeing.

It was the remains of fish which we ground into powder and fed to other fish and sheep, whose remains we ground into powder and fed to other sheep and cows, whose remains we ground to powder and fed to other cows.

Just because the mode of payment changes with the technical abilities of the medium doesn’t change that.

Not according to German, French, and I suspect most of other european countries laws. Only torrenting copyright-protected content is against the law because you’re uploading the content (distributing) while downloading.

Would you call it piracy to yank out the ad insert from a free newspaper and throw it into the trash without looking at it? Because that’s the exact analog from the non-digital world. Just because the mode of payment changes with the technical abilities of the medium doesn’t change that.

What is more racist, though? The average cop or the average LLM? I’d wager a guess it’s the average cop. So, it would still be a net benefit.

That’s why I’m a handsomely paid consultant, and you’re not.

Something between 2 and 17.

I’ll just leave this here for those in need of some educationing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=90X5NJleYJQ&pp=ygUWdHJvZ2RvciB0aGUgYnVybmluYXRvcg%3D%3D

I used my PC to watch TV from bed before sleeping and just set an auto shutdown so it would turn off after I fell asleep. Once I forgot to set the auto shutdown. So I did the only reasonable thing: I grabbed the laptop next to my bed, booted it, SSHed into my PC, shut it down remotely and then powered off the laptop. This was in the days of spinning hard discs and the entire scheme took at least 20 times as long as had I just gotten up, moved 1.5m (that’s 5 feet in freedom units) and shut it down directly.

All of them are great if you want diabetes.

Great, this has just replaced some vim key bindings in my head. Thanks very much!

Not joy in general; just other people’s joy.

From wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

The term cisgender was coined in 1994 as an antonym to transgender, and entered into dictionaries starting in 2015 as a result of changes in social discourse about gender.[4][5] The term has been and continues to be controversial and subject to critique.

I think there’s some confirmation bias on your end here. The local community (including me) tends to be young and liberal and knows the term cisgender. I’d bet that the majority (by a huge margin) of English speakers (including as a second or third language) has never even heard the term cisgender or doesn’t know what it means. Lots of them will react negatively if you label them cisgender out of pure ignorance and false assumptions - no transphobia needed.

Only complete asshole transphobes do. Honestly, not even they do. They just lie about it as a gotcha.

Sure, they exist. But what’s their percentage of the population or the X user base? I think you’re making a false generalization by an invalid extrapolation.

And just to be clear: I’m not saying cisgender is a slur. I’m just pointing out that the notion that community A or an individual can decide whether some word is a slur or not in community B is ridiculous, and that the argument, from the first comment I replied to, for technical correctness or intended meaning of a word is irrelevant for who considers what a slur.

I hope that made my point clearer to your dry-nosed primate’s brain.

People can be insulted (read as feel insulted) by anything and everything. If I refer to someone by a technically correct term all the time, but it was not customary to do so, they could easily (and justifiably) feel insulted by that. Whether something can be more or less generally be said to be a slur depends more on majorities, convention, and social protocol than on technical correctness. Neither you nor I are in a position to tell someone that they cannot feel insulted by something. And it might even be a communal thing: if a majority of users on X felt insulted by being referred to as cisgender, it would be correct to label it as a slur in that context/on X. Like cunt is an integral part of everyday language in Australia but a big no-no in the US. Think about that, you dry-nose primate.
