  • Not sure what the complaint is about transhumanism...? Unless there's some other meaning I'm unaware of.

  • R/trans is a fucking mess

    Jump

  • The extremely short version is that a trans man made a post on the trans subreddit, saying that trans men's issues are overlooked and under seen.

    One or more moderators removed the post, claiming it was "divisive".

    The sub basically blew up, as there was nothing divisive in the original post. Drama has ensued. I don't know that it's been resolved .

  • Are you saying that's happened? Or that you expect it will?

  • ICE thugs pounced on a man right there in the US Federal courthouse in NYC, mere minutes after his immigration case was dismissed

    Jump

  • If this is the same thing I'm thinking of, the case was to be allowed to immigrate in the US. It was dismissed, so they were no longer legally in the country.

    It's rancid bullshit that they were instantly detained, of course, but** there is a logic to it.

  • It serves the key purpose of Mumble, in that it provides a reliable way to get in a voice chat with people. The other features (text chat, video calls, screen sharing, "servers" that let people aggregate for a dedicated purpose/community) come together to make a legitimately good product that's hard to replace.

  • Is there a peer to peer equivalent to Discord? That feels like it would be the best option, since it wouldn't rely on a centralized company that could enshittify the product.

  • It is a bit baffling. I think it's more ethical than the alternative though: pay gating useful functionality. Offering paid pallete swaps doesn't make a lot of sense to me, someone who would never pay for that, but it does at least mean I can just ignore it. If they were to, say, restrict voice calls to a paid subscription, suddenly I'm in a position where either I'm paying for the service or ditching it entirely.

  • Don't be fooled

  • In the long term, yes. Ideally your birth rate matches your death rate so you have stability in supporting the citizenry. But when your system expects the birth rate to exceed the death rate, even changing to equilibrium can be catastrophic.

  • I don't rightly expect whether I watch propaganda to change the opinions of those that believe it. Just because "they" won't consume content I know to be good, that means I should consume content I know to be bad to balance it out?

  • I doubt the deposits were for the full cost, right?

  • Paris Mayor: I want a city with less cars. Perhaps it's controversial, but I think I'm on the right side of history. I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office.

  • And let's not forget: you can't use the giant metal cage unless you have a plethora of details registered with the government and associated with the cage! And you're legally required to have a contract with a private company to insure the cage.

    Freedom. Bah.

  • Did ChatGPT come up with Trump’s tariff rate formula? AI chatbots ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok all return the same formula for reciprocal tariff calculations, several X users claim.

  • "several X users claim", they say for sources. Christ Almighty.

  • I'm not particularly worried about losing the "likes generative AI" demographic, especially if they're not going to support more important movements because their poor choices are being mocked.

  • Thanks for the information -- good to know. I assume that like American law, he couldn't be punished for something that wasn't illegal when he did it?

    Regarding the Uyghur comment the other guy made, definitely a bit tasteless but I don't think it's that ignorant given the genocide China perpetrated against them.

  • YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech

    Jump

  • I guess the primary difference is between legally free speech versus socially free speech. The argument being that the government shouldn't stop you from slinging slurs, while you have absolutely no right to not be ostracized/shunned/shamed by your fellow man.
