I’m not talking about feminists who actually know their stuff (such as most - but not all - who make podcasts on the subject). Those are niche subcultures. I’m talking about the self-proclaimed feminists on social media like TikTok, Instagram, or the comment sections on Reddit and Facebook. The people that the general public comes in contact with and who shape the meaning of our language. Your attempt at gatekeeping kind of underscores my point.

Under some older meaning of feminist sure, but 90% of the people who claim to be feminist these days think of it solely as giving women more privilege, and any discussion of men’s issues is considered anti-feminist. Whatever meaning of equality that there used to be is all but lost.

I’m scared to post this because people will interpret it as me being misogynistic. And that fact, IMO, is the biggest problem that men face. We’re not allowed by society to be victims.

I’m thinking of file compressoin formats like Zip, LHA and ARJ, which would work particularly well if the image was not dithered and used run-length encoding (e.g. the PIC format of the Atari ST). The PNG format still uses the deflate algorithm which is essentially identical to the compression used by PKZip in 1991.

At the time when dithering was commonly used to achieve the illusion of more available colors, i.e. the 80s and the first half of the 90s.
- Comment on this post is just 42kib 3 weeks ago:
It’s really only helpful for formats that will be directly read by hardware (the video chip) and where the “compression” ratio (I would prefer the term quantization) needs to be fixed. For file compression, which was quite mature but CPU- and memory-intensive at the time, the dithering only makes it more difficult to compress further.

The biggest scandal we had in all of my school years was that when I was 17 there was a girl in my class who was dating a 25-year-old. Nobody was ever interested in anyone’s dad.

- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 1 month ago:
You implied that an egalitarian person doesn’t have the goal of furthering equality, did you not?
The Wikipedia article on egalitarianism says:
By promoting equal opportunities, egalitarianism aims to level the playing field and reduce disparities that result from social inequalities.
and
Egalitarian doctrines have supported many modern social movements, including the Enlightenment, feminism, civil rights, and international human rights.
Do you not feel that what you claim and what Wikipedia says are in conflict? At any rate, what I mean by being egalitarian is also to work toward achieving an egalitarian society and I do work toward that goal in practice as well.

I disagree and as far as I can tell, so does Wikipedia.
