  Another terrifying british 24°C heat wave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The pipeline⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The situation of trans peoplem in Turkey is interesting. They were much more dominant part of society much earlier than in the west. It was completly normal in many parts of Istanbul to see trans people in the 1980s already. Trans people were also big part of pop culture quite early, Bülent Ersoy for example became a trans superstar in the 1980s. Gender change is legal since 1988 (much earlier than many EU countries).

  At the same time, there defintly is a lot of social repercussions against trans people.

  It is quite the mixed pack tbh.

  Turks are the perfect alphas confirmed (we don’t have gender in our language).

  Would be interesting seeing his evangelical supporters justifying this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's normal, right?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2l sound excessive.

  1.5 liters a day is a set amount, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh money could be the initiative. So many content creators nowadays have platforms beside YouTube. If a federated alternative would come up, they could just set up an own server and keep all the earnings.

  This would somehow need to get started though. No idea how.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t capitulate. They never fought. They just did what was the best shot at earning money and gaining ground at the time.

  Don’t ever expect moral based behavior in capitalism or geopolitics.

  Check them out. Some are great (Cranberries for example). I also guess you’ll know more than you think.

  Haha, the chat system? That will be a shitshow. Oh my, thank you dessalines@lemmy.ml for creating an alternative. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, that is not really true. There has been a significant bump due to covid, but before covid the test results have shown constant improvements.

  That said, I don’t think IQ and political idiocy are that strongly correlated. I’ve met a lot of highly trained people, who would doubtlessly get great IQ test results, who are politically extremely gullible.

  That also said, IQ tests are also a quite flawed way to assess intelligence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardcore gaming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was sitting next to my wife for a few hours talking to her (we brought food and so on, so no need for me to go anywhere).

  I mean, I would have had time to play games, but I doubt I’d still be married.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a kindle, nut i never buy my books at Amazon. I just but them elsewhere, de-DRM then on calibration and copy them in the kindle. Not as comfortable, but okay for.me.

  First, what laws are violated? Doubt international law touches this, US law maybe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They really do take 80s and 90s dystopian movies as inspiration. Almost funny how ridiculous unimaginatively evil that are.

  Who is she?

  I feel personally attacked, I agree with the article, but painfully so.

  @yahoo.com is still somewhat popular among us old farts.

  It will probably burst, but that does not man that AI will go away completly.
