  It’s so fucking stupid. We don’t need an AI water shortage. The water exists, it’s just not in fucking tax havens like Texas elon.

  Course, can’t blame the corpos that governments wont do their damn job protecting citizens water supplies.

  Lemmy was the first Fediverse that actually worked for me, because I don’t like Twitter and don’t care to follow randos I’ve never heard of. I like anonymous forums.

  I mean to me, if I’m trying to get with you, or while I’m with you, all I care about is if you like me or not.

  I think a lot of guys think that it would honestly be perfectly ok for you to go on having gay sex in your straight relationship. They aren’t threatened by another woman because that woman isn’t fulfilling the role they fulfill: sex with a penis. They also probably think you’d be missing out not to have both in your life if you are bi.

  Or they are just erasing. But sometimes the same behavior can come from completely different ideas.

  “Back in my day” (angry fist at the world) I was 11 participating in adult evolution vs creationism forums with plenty of nut jobs. I watched porn on my dad’s computer, pirated music and Naruto, played games Instead of talking to girls. It’s certainly a different world, but not thaaattt different.

  The vendors were modernizing and they pushed back.

  I’m glad you could set up a way to falsify your beliefs so that they could, indeed, be proven false

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just followed this revolving door of male self improvement advice for a long time now. It actually started for me at church, those guys hate a young man without a “role model”. Then people started blaming the lack of role models and we got Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate, when honestly the biggest problem facing men in society was capitalism and overwork not male lack of self improvement. Then people were like, no not THOSE role models, and now people are blaming young men for Trump voting etc, when again it’s role models themselves that are making these kids fail to see their issues in relation to labor.

  What if, instead of teaching men to be followers we taught them to be leaders and free thinkers. Women too. I never once woke up as a kid and was like, man I wish I had someone to look up to. I had people to learn from but I was imminently aware of other people’s flaws and the fallacy of emulating success.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  She actually doesn’t say he has toxic male role models in his life, he has conservatives in his life, who she admits are not good sex-advice-givers or puberty-talk-havers. She doesn’t say they are Nazi’s or wifebeaters or something. The assumptions I’d make from this is he has conservative trad-marriage role models, which I had too. These people teach you a distorted view of sex, but also a lot of the best male role models in my life live as conservatives.

  Anyway, no I don’t really think that male role models are as important as we like to think. This is kinda a “what is wrong with our youth” take on modernity. A good female role model to a man can be almost more influential. Her being a good mom is going to influence his views on women a lot more than any dudebro with no relation to him, especially if she calls him on misogyny he may pick up.

  A man who loves women has healthy female role models. That’s more important than anything in developing their views on women.

  “If the description is sounding like it fits”

  Where in OP did it sound like it fits?

  I get the impression the guy I’m replying to is working with troubled youth. Even then, most men and boys are taught to defend their moms as a point of pride, not the opposite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lol this is a very macho man view of a male growth spurt. Yes he will become stronger than most women, but it’s not a given he will become much stronger, or that he’s a sports guy. I didn’t work out till I was well into my 20s and you could hardly call me strong even compared to women.

  Grrr man strong, need break things, intellectual sponge, need other testosterone figure to understand confusing body. Like dude wtf 😂. We had completely opposite male childhood experiences apparently. I was intellectually stimulated, physically weak, and don’t particularly remember needing to ask my dad what was going on with my hormones.

  This may be weird, but honestly I wish someone had just given me a copy of “she comes first” (a good book I still use today), and an Adam and Eve gift card. The last one I’ll give you one good reason: it’ll be a lot better if he’s fucking a toy than having sex as a teen. It’ll also make it a bit of a training experience, a lot of guys that age just want to know “what it’s like”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can literally blame Apple for that, because that standard did progress, and they did not incorporate it into their default messaging app for years due to anticompetitive marketing practices. To compare the responsibilities of a default and only (since you can’t sidecar on iPhone) text messaging app on a phone with 50% market share with a third party app is bad faith.

  Did you just reverse your position? I’m confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just a visual indication of if it’s encrypted. SMS sucks, truly, compared to apps like iMessage, WhatsApp, etc. so it’s actually annoying to message people with green text. Now that Apple does RCS it’s not a big deal, but in the USA there’s no default internet messaging app like WhatsApp, to the extent that there is one, it’s iMessage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate to say it, the reason people choose dating partners on phone use is because of blue texts on iMessage. that’s the only reason. Apple was brilliant pitching that as an Android problem instead of playing fair and working on an open standard since day 1. Dragged their feet for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh androids privacy is shit. I’d rather deal with Apple than Google both on hardware and privacy any day. The only way I’d switch is to something like Graphene

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s insane obsidian isn’t open source, since it’s just a fancy vscode plugin or fork basically (idk how they developed it obviously but that’s all you’d need to do). That’s why I don’t use it. It’s too simple not to be OSS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah Logseq is actually a much better knowledge management tool than obsidian. It’s literally built for that, whereas obsidian requires you to force structure onto it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because other tools use # in other ways doesn’t mean they aren’t useful the way they are now in Logseq. It’s just a one character shorthand rather than four characters. I find tags as they are in Evernote and Obsidian exceedingly worthless for all but the most strictly organized individuals, not so in Logseq.

  A query is helpful when you need it, but rarely needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I think the first thing is just simply that documents aren’t notes, so you wouldn’t write those things in Logseq.

  What you are writing in Logseq is a zettlekasten, which is just a personal knowledge graph. And in a knowledge graph, everything needs to relate somehow to everything else, that’s why it has to be an outline.

  So things can relate to the journal date they were written on, to their parent and children concepts, and to the links that they contain. Every idea has at least a relationship to the date you wrote it, but hopefully you can link that idea to more than just that relationship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually find the lack of distinction between a tag and a wiki link a breath of fresh air. So many other apps make a meaningless distinction between them and make you choose ahead of time a styleguide for how you plan to use both. Logseq makes a query able style enforced and then you adapt to using it. Very different

  Minhash might be able to produce a similarity metric without needing exactness and without revealing the training data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI and Copyright: Expanding Copyright Hurts Everyone—Here’s What to Do Instead.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could always just do reverse search on the open dataset to see if it’s an exact copy (or over a threshold).

  You MIGHT even be able to do that while masking the data using hashing.

  Yeah but you learn it and it’s a far more organized approach
