Not sure I understand why train games are on topic because they’re open source but an open source desktop icon isn’t.

If you have an ice maker and a small cooler it’s way quicker to put them in the cooler and cover them with ice and water. You know, if you have a cold beer emergency and don’t want to wait for the freezer to cool it down. 5 minutes is plenty.

lol my bad, that’s not a phrase I run into a lot anymore!

I wasn’t trying to say anything cutting, just a Watership Down reference 🐰

The world as General Woundwort imagined it.

Diced onions and peppers freeze fantastically as long as you plan to use them in a sauce or soup. For some veg it’s also better to buy frozen if you’re not planning on eating it raw or cooking it immediately, like broccoli. Jesus Christ, never let broccoli rot. I’m pretty sure some corpses smell better.

Allegedly washing and drying veg also makes it last longer, but I always feel like if I made it that far I might as well just prep and store it.

Seems like it would be a great quip when someone’s being an ass. “Go rake a forest.”

“Transgender people are individuals that you can just talk to if you aren’t sure how they prefer to be referred to” shouldn’t be a scarier way to live than memorizing a rule book of The Correct Way to be transgender and interact with transgender people, as though we are a monolith.

Not all trans people prescribe to a binary view of gender in general or their own gender. Some people are women who are fathers or men who are mothers. They don’t have to justify themselves or the nuances of their identity to be accepted, because understanding isn’t necessary for acceptance. I accept shit I don’t understand all the time, like sportsball fans or Funko Pop collecting.

Acceptance isn’t “I am always interacted with in The Correct Way”, it’s “I am given a basic level of respect and listened to”.

Concept artist Sam Santala pointed out that you can’t raise a support request to discuss the terms without first agreeing to them. You can’t even uninstall the apps!

Well, at least they made this as easy as possible to challenge in court.

But given the way AI bros behave I suspect this is a smash and grab. The penalties don’t matter if they get to keep the goods in the form of generative AI training.

The biggest problem with AI alt text is that it lacks the ability to determine and add in context, which is particularly important in social media image descriptions. But people adding useless alt text isn’t exactly a new thing either. If people treat this as a starting place for adding an alt text description and not a “click it and I don’t have to think about it” solution I’m massively in support of it.

Going after power substations (again) is more likely IMO. It’s an easy to commit crime and the kind of bigots that have a problem with Pride are also the kind of bigots that keep a lot of white nationalist tactics in their toolbox.

Some important context here is that this is an effort to deal with terribly behaving British tourists, since the same bylaw also bans walking around nude or only in underwear. In addition to just being terrible tourists generally, there’s a history of British tourists treating Spanish beaches like their personal vacationing grounds and not a different country where other people live and speak a different language.

So you don’t know what court case it is? Yeah, your comments don’t come across as particularly well read about queer history. Read about Lawrence v Texas. 2003. If you think that’s ancient history that’s a self report babe, some of us were old enough to have a job then.

Since you didn’t bother reading my last comment, let me say it again but in bigger text so you might see it:

I can’t go to public bathrooms in some states.

Not “I don’t feel safe doing it,” it’s literally not legal for me to do it right now, today.

Now explain to me why the children of Gaza should die for their parents’ beliefs but not the children of Florida or Utah.

I don’t think that means you should kill thousands of their children because I’m not a fucking psychopath.

What do you think they would do to an openly gay man in Palestine?

Hint it’s rhymes with whale.

Guess what was legal to do to gay men in the US barely over 20 years ago? Can you even name the court case I’m referencing here without me spelling it out for you?

Would it have been fine to kill thousands of American children over this 20 years ago?

Gay transgender man here to say ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY DO NOT support genocide in my name. Thousands of children have been murdered. This is a fucking deranged thing to say you’re doing for queer people.

Also like, a huge portion of the town I grew up in would be fine enacting all kinds of biblical murder-executions on me. I can’t go to public bathrooms in some states. Are you arguing for genociding everyone in those places too?

Oh don’t worry it’s actually worse than that! In some states it’s completely legal for 13 year olds to buy a gun at a gun show.

They made an episode trying to make up for that where I think one of the secondary characters is trans? I couldn’t tell you the specifics of it because I haven’t watched it, I just remember it being decently received at the time by a fair amount of trans people that I follow on various platforms. Not beyond reproach but not the fucking nightmare that the Mrs Garrison shit was.

Paywalled for me too:

I refuse to take any advice from the people that spent like a full decade shitting on Al Gore and the idea of global warming. No, I don’t care that they pivoted well after global warming was settled science and public opinion started to shift to viewing it as cringe to be a climate change denier.

My bad, I read it as dismissive.
