Every time you factcheck a transphobe your gender fragments and becomes harder to destroy

Well I own it and I do, and most of my friends do as well (some of whom are trans)
But yeah, fuck JKR.

True… What actually inspired that thought, indirectly, was thinking about how the anime I was watching (seven spellblades) felt like a more interesting wizarding universe than HP.

Oh I thought this was posted to criticize an AI slop ad, but it’s actually just an AI slop ad… How meta.

Obviously never rely on a single source before buying something, but this isn’t news. See the other dude’s comment lemmy.world/comment/20879776
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 3 weeks ago:
Perhaps an open set of standards at the least. Some form of super-oauth would be required but I should have clarified that the openness of a true federation-like model is aspirational: invisioned as a conscious and intentional rejection of the ever-increasing monetization, financialization, and enshittification of all mediums of social interaction.
People didn’t jump on the FB metaverse partly because it was shit, but partly because it was painfully obvious it was full of grift and a billionaire’s wet dream of further social monopolization. The friction and frustration has been increasing. The world falling apart makes the little nagging annoyances just that much more irritating, and people are starting to actively resist them rather than just rant and succumb.

Think gravatar meets roblox VR web.
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 3 weeks ago:
The metaverse, in some form, is nearly inevitable IMO. But it’ll be a federated-like infrastructure and I’m very glad Facebook will have fuck all to do with it.

I don’t know how much they plan to increase the cost of a condom, but I’d wager that it will be cheaper than 18 years of life.

Fun (random shit I heard on the internet): the enshittification of journals mostly started with Pergamon Press which was founded by Ghislaine Maxwell’s father.

Oh this is one of those “reincarnated Hitler” freaks; I remember them.
Any time someone starts talking about past lives, you’re about to hear some wild racist shit. Weird how no one’s ever a reincarnated 8th century arab peasant with intimate knowledge of period & region-specific horticulture… It’s always “I gasses the Jews” or “I was enslaved so I can say the N word”

Something to keep in mind about not using browser integrations is that you can fall victim to simple keyloggers and clipboard stealers. But using an extension can also be a weakpoint if it autopopulates incorrectly or on a compromised site; but that’s far less common.
But, dear readers, don’t let that dissuade you: even a text file in a veracrypt volume is better than “PurpleElephant1994”

Edit the config to unbind all defaults, and define your own keybinds as you need them, using what’s most intuitive for you and building memory.
Or you can just use one if the plethora of guis…
