  • yeah, that’s understandable. i’d never thought about it that way before.

    personally i use enby as a way to say that i am in the middle / don’t really care.

    i think the issue comes from the fact that saying non-binary means specifically non-{man,woman}. whereas i’ve always interpreted it as just non-“specific gender”.

    to me it’s the etc. of gender labels, but i realise that not everyone that i think it describes would want to identify with it.

    (and that means it becomes it’s own label, and now we have to figure out what to call everyone_else all over again. (maybe the whole idea of gender labels was rigged from the start))






  • yeah. you’re right.

    it’s not like i blindly trust the votes to tell me what’s right and wrong, but they still influence my thoughts. i could just sort by new, but i feel like that’s almost as easy to manipulate.

    i guess it comes back to the topic of the post. where and how i get my information is always going to affect me.

    i’m sure other platforms are no better than lemmy with manipulating content, but maybe for different reasons. i just have to choose the right places to spend my time.




  • they are very similar. my only problem with hyprland was that the mouse is still required for some things, and it’s a bit annoying having to switch back and forth.

    on sway, everything can be done by keyboard. i still use the mouse a lot, but there’s less switching in the middle of tasks.

    it’s a little difference, but it was worth it for me.

    there’s also the drama about some people being transphobic (i think?) in the hyprland discord, but i try not to pay too much attention to that.

    hyprland accomplishes it’s goal of being pretty (and i got some really cool screenshots), but sway is pure functionality, and it’s damn good at it.



  • i think it’s really cool in theory, but only the anonymous ones. i don’t use crypto personally, but it’s important that something like it exists.

    cryptobros and capitalism have ruined what little reputation the name had, and it’s obviously not going to replace “normal” money any time soon.

    i feel like it’s kind of similar to the cashless systems that most banks use, but you’re trading lots of electricity for “not having the economy be owned by a couple of massive corporations”. obviously it has it’s flaws, but i see that as a worthwhile trade.

    edit: oh yeah, i didn’t mention it, but this is another vote for monero (it’s private and it’s an esperanto word :P)
