  I edited it to “presumed to have at birth”.

  The dashes are a problem because it’s an easy tell that the text is AI.

  The thing most people get wrong is mentioning someone’s assigned gender (the one they were supposed to have) instead of the one they actually are. Being reminded constantly of the one thing you absolutely don’t want to be is really disheartening, even when it’s not done on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you actually audit open source projects you download?⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If I can read it in around an afternoon, and it’s not a big enough project that I can safely assume many other people have already done so, then I will !

  But I don’t think it qualifies as “auditing”, for now I only have a bachelor’s in CS and I don’t know as much as I’d like about cybersecurity yet.

  Time to give my YouTube comment history a good old scrub, delete my account, and start a new one, I guess…

  TF does eBay need the device to be verified for ?

  I would totally buy a phone that doesn’t run my banking app. What do people even do in there ? The only thing I use it for is my balance and purchase history 😆

  uBlock + NoScript + SponsorSkip + DeArrow + Untrap

  I hate that I have to use 5 extensions to make the site usable, but this is still better than the alternate front ends (specifically because they don’t have recommended videos)

  This better not break GrapheneOS right when I was planning to switch to Android, or I swear I’m buying a dumb phone and Google can kiss my business goodbye forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like it’s a great time to start a traditional call center or accounting firm and reap all the business from when this experiment falls through !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heheheh my secret door of secret knowledge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh i don’t have one 😆 but it sure seems useful to open some doors you’re not supposed to !

  It is the fancy toy version though. There are cheaper devices that do some of the same things, although I’m not sure I’ve seen anything else with all the features yet.

  May I interest you in a Flipper Zero ? 😉

  There’s probably room to make it snappier, have fun !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being single⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am a relational anarchist, but I was simplifying. No need for quantum physics where Newtonian physics do the trick !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being single⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not supposed to have a gut wrenching feeling 24/7 when in a relationship.

  A relationship is just a friend you do extra things with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's good enough to keep your house warm, it's good enough to keep your insides warm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure I just haven’t handled large enough quantities of it for that to happen. I’ve never installed it myself, I’ve only had to take it down for minor roof repairs, and put it back if afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's good enough to keep your house warm, it's good enough to keep your insides warm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thankfully no, I do wear gloves and a mask when I’m handling this stuff ! Im just saying it’s not going to kill you.

  Okay then I guess I was taught wrong 😅 always heard it told as right after his birth !?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going back in time to see how the fishes and loaves trick was done⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Prove what ? An allegory ? Prove any of the 12 ordeals of Heracles, then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going back in time to see how the fishes and loaves trick was done⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care about Jesus being white as much as I care about him not being a baby. The fishes and loaves is a baby Jesus thing, not a beardy Jesus thing !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's good enough to keep your house warm, it's good enough to keep your insides warm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While this definitely is bad, I think people tend to be a bit unreasonable about this stuff.

  Fiberglass is not asbestos, and by the way, asbestos is not uranium.

  Do wear the proper PPE, yes, but also don’t be neurotic about it. Even full-time asbestos miners don’t always get related cancers. If you removed some without knowing, studies show you’ll be fine. Your body can and does eliminate asbestos, albeit very slowly.

  And again, fiberglass is not asbestos, and doesn’t cause mesothelioma. It’s still not recommended to breathe it in, especially not on the regular, but you don’t need to live in fear of it.

  We can have both trees and this ! Let’s replace the stupid ad spots on bus stops with these 😮

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It it pretty rare for my partners to date each other, so most breakups are usually “normal“. Even when they do, one breakup only concerns the two people involved, unless something really bad prompted it, which has never happened to me directly.
