Trans people are weird, but so is everyone else. So treat them like every other weird person.

I’m over 40 and I usually stand up about half of my working day. But I wouldn’t want to stand on an airplane because it’s cramped.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 1 week ago:
Yes, I think so. There’s are interesting large scale trends in the book’s world, and even though the protagonists are powerful beings, they’re forced to mostly just witness and react to the events. The characters are deep and interesting and the overall plot is rewarding.

I didn’t like Witcher 3. I played the main storyline to Skellige and after a while of adventuring there, I just could not bring myself to continue the game.

Doom 2016 was the peak. Eternal had that one song that kicked ass but that was mostly it.

Why would you do anything else than neutral evil? Waste of time.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 3 weeks ago:
More like the fact that some distros still cling to X11 will and should scare people the hell away from Linux.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 3 weeks ago:
I cannot recommend Bazzite. It’s an atomic distribution, which is pioneer tech that tries to make some things better but in effect makes a lot of things more difficult.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 3 weeks ago:
Mint’s popularity is unfortunate because it (the last time I checked) defaults to X11, which gives you a desktop built on technology from 1984.

I can give you 10 people I don’t like and only one of them I know definitely to be a nazi.
That one guy is Elon Musk by the way.

Sorry, you might not have been following the news. Elon Musk owns Twitter these days.
- Comment on I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. I just didn’t expect them to be such losers 4 weeks ago:
That’s exactly what happens when a Facebook competitor (possibly an ethical one) rolls out. Which is part of the problem.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know to what extent they smuggle data out of the devices, but afaik a de-googlified phone such as Pixel + GrapheneOS gets you close.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 4 weeks ago:
USA is being horrible at the moment, but China has a LOT of convincing to do before I’ll let them deliberately have my data.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 4 weeks ago:
How about neither?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
What’s Plex’s use case? Why not just mpv locally?

No, it’s the other way around. Fairphone needs to implement the things Graphene requires.

I used a Jolla when it was new. It was pretty decent, and in fact had many innovations. Apple brought gestures to their OS several years after. It was one of the first implementations of a phone UI implement on Wayland. Might still be.
Unfortunately, being a pioneer does not always help. Application developers didn’t get interested in it enough so it never really got any apps.

I wish they could implement the parts of the Pixel phones that allow GrapheneOS to be used.
