Y’all remember when Microsoft had to shut down their AI Tay on Twitter after people got it to say racist thing and heil Hitler? Good times, glad AI was handled responsibly
Finally someone else gets it, I basically have the same sort of relationship with femininity and gender
I’m non-binary gender fluid (and it sounds like you might be too) and honestly it can be really tough sometimes just having an overwhelmingly looming but mild and ignorable sense that something about you is off, but not really knowing what
And I’ve tried wearing girl clothes and going by she/her, but honestly it’s so hit or miss, sometimes my dresses make me dysphoric and I hate it, I hate having no clue what I am sometimes
And I’m very much of the same opinion that I wish I could just fully turn into a girl temporarily just to see if I like it, just to try it, but I know I can’t, and I really really cannot bring myself to do anything more permanent than wear a skirt or makeup, not even shave my legs. as much as I want to be a girl, I don’t want to not still also be a boy, sometimes I’m happiest when I’m neither, and sometimes I love being both
Gender is very weird, I’m just glad I’m gonna finally stop hiding myself soon
I don’t really have any advice that I could think of, but hopefully seeing someone else with the same feelings helps u not feel alone
This feels like the equivalent of getting abducted by a superintelligent alien race, being put into a machine beyond your wildest comprehension, and then probably getting a treat and sent back home where nobody will believe you
Arch, btw
It was the distro that my friend uses all the time, and I’ve had to use his laptop on occasion so I’m somewhat familiar with the distro, enough so that I’ve installed it on persistent USBs before and already chosen it as my next OS after Windows (I would switch now, but I rode Windows 7 till the end date, so I figured I’d ride out 10 until the final day this October)
Also! Gender fluid hello!! It made me so insanely happy to see that flag in the Linux terminal, I feel so seen!! It feels like trans girls hog all the Linux spotlight this side of the fediverse, I’m happy for them! But I still don’t feel like I have a proper community where I belong, especially since I stay off of all other mainstream social media >.<
So seeing another enby, another gender fluid especially, for the literal first time since I made my lemmy account just makes me so ecstatic!! We’re so rare x3
Anyways, thank u for existing and simply posting this, seeing another makes me feel seen and I can’t really express enough how unreasonably happy something so small just made me c:
Thank you! And I should sleep so good night also lol
Um, actually, the tweet clearly says “Florida State University” not “Tesla Cybertruck” so no this wasn’t actually an act of terrorism, it was just a peaceful protest instead
Very much same
I feel like this is probably the biggest problem with mastodon after the on-boarding. Not only does someone actually need to understand instances and put in more effort to sign up, when they do there’s like absolutely no good way to find new stuff, it’s all just basically random
I understand the “no algorithm” stance on things but jesus would it be too much to let me sort by top of the day? I want to see what people are talking about, what’s going on, not just what ever happened to be posted in the latest minute.
This is a problem I have with a bunch of other fediverse app (Pixelfed & Loops primarily) and it seriously bothers me that there isn’t any real option to sort anything except reverse chronologically, and the ability to do so is the only reason I keep coming back to Lemmy over all of the rest of fediverse fr
Absolutely ethereal and immersive! I love this
Might be depression, at least it was for me
I have 2 sides: depressed and repressed
Because you’d have to move your mouse to the new position anyways to paste, so might as well save 1 button press by just click dragging instead
VSCode cuz I couldn’t find a good open source alternative written in c++ or rust that isn’t just a terminal text editor that needs a trillion plugins/configs to run (I would have tried zed if they ever made a version for windows, seems like the most promising ide to vsc)
What if you let me cry into your arms (ironically ofc) and you comforted me through tough times (as a joke) and told me that you were proud of me and that you loved me deeply (for the lolz)
The fact that I can’t choose one of the many AIs I have locally downloaded on my computer is bogus
This is exactly why I just could not get into mastodon, and probably Twitter-likes in general
There’s no way, atleast at the time, to sort by top of the day. No way to see what was trending across the larger fediverse, no real way to find new and interesting things every hour on the hour
Lemmy is thankfully significantly better with this, and it’s honestly become my go-to social app now
